Dismissal of justice. "A sentence I saw from the bullet screen. I can probably think of many things. This movie was not watched in one go. Unfortunately, I watched the bullet screen in the middle, and it seemed to say, "12 people, everyone has a share." , not one can run. "It was spoiled all of a sudden, so I knew the answer about halfway through the film. Before that, I always thought there was a certain murderer. But after the whole film ended, I still felt that there were a lot of details. This feeling of knowing the answer and looking back and suddenly discovering that the details overlap one by one is really refreshing. These shots are very meaningful. The detective meets Miss Debenham and the returning officer in Istanbul (Constantinople); When getting on the bus, Pierre, the flight attendant, heard that the temporary increase of passengers was a well-known detective, his expression changed slightly, and he said many times that there were no extra seats (I think from the performance in the film, Pierre Really a very good flight attendant, he shouldn't be unaware that there is a spare bed at Secretary Ratchett's); when the Duchess got into the car, she paused when she heard that the detective was also getting in; There are many, so I won't list them all. I also like the acting skills of the actors, the subtle expressions, and the few scenes that are very impressive should be, Miss Debenham's smile, gradually descending the arc in Poirot's words, family A whole long shot of the teacher being cleared out of the conversation. I think it's great. But at the end of Poirot's reasoning, 13 people are in Ratchett's room, each one is stabbed. At that time, some of them are angry, some are actually I was trembling, some were happy, some were relieved. The Duchess was shown on camera from time to time. In fact, I had doubts at the time. I really thought in my heart, should everyone have a share? Maybe some of the 13 people have it in their hearts. So a little bit of swaying, but the matter has come to this point, and it has to continue. And what was the Duchess's mood at that time, except for the revenge, is there another kind, everyone has a share, and now everyone is a grasshopper on a rope This feeling? I don't know why I think so. In addition, at the end, I can hear the music is bright, and everyone clinks like Armstrong's mother and sister one by one. Sending condolences and blessings to the family of Armstrong who have suffered greatly From his inner view of justice, he believes that the bad guys deserve what they deserve. I can't bear these 13 people to be held accountable by the law. But after reading the film review, I found that there is another perspective: the number of people is also the reason why Poirot chose the first one. There are many of them. If Poirot chooses the second one, will his life be threatened (actually, I don't think so, one is because of the belief in the kindness and moral scholarship of these 13 people, they conspired to murder Ratchett for a reason). , not that they are cruel by nature, the second is that I think the existence of other people on the train makes it impossible and will not rashly); the other is because of the number of people, if you choose the second, then the life after these 13 people will happen because of this Great changes, and this is because a criminal who deserves it, can't get it, it's not worth it. Another view is that among these 13 people, there are many nobles with prominent backgrounds. If they offend them, Poroken can or will not be better. The above are just some thoughts after watching the movie. The duration of the movie is limited. I feel that there are many places left for me to be uncertain. After watching the movie, I also read a few movie reviews, and felt that some of the latitudes were really deep, and I sighed. A thousand Hamlets! It's really nice to see a different perspective. If I have a chance, I would like to read the original book and see what the author thinks.

    Even with so many details cut out from Granny's book, the adapted movie still feels too complicated. But I think this level of adaptation is really successful. In addition to the old drama bones, the scene where the train starts and returns to the "civilized world" after the snow is finally cleared is also amazing.

    I really missed this most classic Poirot series. When I watched it for the first time, the translation was super bad, which affected the mood of watching; when I watched the Mandarin version later, because the previous ones were dubbed by the above translation, it was inevitable. I have to compare it in my heart, what is the result, no need to say more, right?

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Hercule Poirot: The obvious implication is that the murderer, disguised as a conductor, boarded the train at Belgrade, made his way by means of the convenient passkey to Ratchett's compartment, stabbed him to death, planted the dagger and the uniform, and then departed, since the train was now halted in a snowdrift. Who was he? I am inclined to agree with Mr Foscarelli, who believes that he was a rival member of the Mafia, exacting private vengeance for a vendetta whose precise nature the Yugoslav police will undoubtedly identify.

    Dr. Constantine: But... is that all?

    Hercule Poirot: No. No, no, no, no. No, it is not. I said, here is the simple answer. There is also a more... complex one. But remember my first solution when I... when you've heard my second.

  • Greta Ohlsson: I was born backwards. That is why I work in Africa as missionary, teaching little brown babies more backwards than myself.
