A master, a masterpiece

This movie is definitely a masterpiece in film history, both in terms of cast, script and shooting. Another book is the representative work of British detective novel writer Agatha Christie. The celebration after the film's premiere was also the last time Agatha Christie participated in a large-scale event before her death.
First of all, let’s talk about the author of the novel. Maybe many people who don’t like detective novels don’t know this person. Agatha is an Englishman and one of the three masters of literary reasoning (Conan Doyle is one of them). Agatha Christie pioneered the "country house school" of detective fiction, in which murders take place in a specific closed environment, and the murderer is also one of several specific people ("Murder on the Nile", "Murder on the Orient Express") ", etc. are all in this style). Many detective works in Europe, America and even Japan also use this model. If Conan Doyle created the first golden age of detective novels, then Christie is the representative figure of the second golden age in the history of world detective novels. The famous American magazine "The New Yorker" pointed out that Christie's works are second only to Shakespeare's works and "The Bible" in the history of book distribution. I don't know much about her, and I haven't read her novels, but I have begun to be interested in her.
Next, let me talk about the movie from a personal point of view.

Ratchett, the man who planned the kidnapping and killing of Jr. Armstrong, which broke up the whole family, was murdered on the Orient Express, poisoned and died on the Orient Express. He was stabbed 12 times, and the detective Mr. Poirot happened to be in the car. He was hired by his friend Bianchi to solve the case. Mr. Poirot interrogated the twelve passengers one by one, and finally found the murderer of the murder. During the whole process, no one is suspected of committing the crime, and no one is like the murderer, until the case is finally solved, when I really want to get to the bottom of it. Ratchett's secretary is McQueen

After watching this movie, I think it is strikingly similar to "The Tragedy of the Nile" in terms of plot and plot. For example, they both take place in a closed environment, and there happens to be a Belgian detective, and all the characters in the play are There are all kinds of intricate connections with events, and so on. I originally wanted to make an in-depth comparison of the two films, but when I started to study the relevant information of the two films, I found out why the two films are so similar. First, the two films were adapted from Agatha's novels of the same name are all Agatha's writing style (mentioned above), and the second is the Belgian detective, not a coincidence, but the same person - Poirot One of the famous fictional characters), and then I felt really ignorant, but I hope people who don't know it will understand this is just. I watched "The Massacre on the Nile" because I was going to Egypt to travel, and this movie is not only a good-looking detective suspense movie, but also an Egyptian tourism promotion movie, which introduced almost all the attractions, Giza in Cairo District Pyramid (three major pyramids, including the largest Pyramid of Khufu), the Temple of Luxor (the Temple of Karnak), and the Temple of Ramses II in Aswan, among others. Overall, the movie "Murder on the Orient Express" is better and more exciting than the movie "Murder on the Nile" from the point of view of shooting and screenwriting, but the process of "Murder on the Nile" is more exciting, and the audience will be misled. The endings for both are subversive and truly wonderful.
