Agatha Christine has always been my favorite mystery novelist. I like her better than Conan Doyle. Many of her works have been remade into TV series and movies. Before no one survives, they have been filmed many times in theatrical TV series, but only this one At one point it was almost entirely based on the original.
No Life has always been the most exciting and scary book in my opinion, and I have always felt that Poirot is not very scary, so the whole atmosphere is not right without Poirot.

When I read this nursery rhyme for the first time, I had a deep fear. I have always liked happy and happy endings. I have always been resistant to this kind of ending. However, I have read the original book before and went to the theatrical version to see the ending Vera. Escaped from the island with Philip and lived a happy life, but felt that the original was ruined.
This time, this remake has done a strong portrayal of the characters, but the plot is a little rushed. I don't know if it's not enough sponsorship or what. I always thought that ten people would have to shoot at least ten episodes, so I'll finish it in three episodes in a hurry. Are you dead.
First, let's talk about the heroine's little secretary.
From the beginning of the accusations against her, her explanation felt that this woman was not that simple, but later the truth came out and she felt reasonable and just for her own selfishness, and she was a woman who was desperate for love. Killing little Cyril indirectly is not because she doesn't love the child, but because she loves Hugo too much. Perhaps she regrets most not because she killed the child, but because she destroyed that love. The heroine is a big driving force in the whole play, so the director let her live until the last ten minutes, but in the last few minutes of struggling on the rope, the only sympathy I have for her is gone.
Then there is the handsome and compelling mercenary male protagonist Philip, who is handsome when he appears, and there is always a hint of evil in his eyes under his masculinity. When he appears, he will become the object of everyone's suspicion. After all, everyone kills a person. He killed twenty-one. However, I didn't think he was so evil. I didn't doubt him from the beginning to the end. (This has nothing to do with Yan, I'm serious) I always felt that something was going to happen with the heroine. Then I finally waited for a one-night stand →_→It's a pity that he went crazy. The heroine still killed him. Although it is sad, I feel that it is more acceptable to die together like this than the ending of the two eloping and surviving. He was also the first to admit his crime, although he did not have much remorse, but at least he knew his mistake, and he was also the first to doubt the judge.
The beautiful young man and the younger brother received the box lunch shortly after he appeared on the stage. At the beginning, he admitted his crime without any guilt. His choking opened the prelude to this killing game. Get nervous.
I don't like doctors and police officers. They are all psychopaths. The doctor feels that his psychological capacity is very poor and he is very irritable and collapses. He has provoked several times with the heroine, including his death. The propulsive characters also lived to the last episode.
I feel more sympathetic to the housekeeper and his wife, mainly poor Mrs. Rogers. The poor man has suffered all his life and finally died in endless remorse. Fortunately, she died, otherwise I really feel sorry for her to live so hard. In the oppression of life and the condemnation of conscience. As for Mr. Rogers, the original description of this sinister-looking man is not too scary. I don't think it is as abhorrent as it is described in the play. In the original book, he deliberately did not take medicine when his previous employer had a heart attack. Read it.
The general didn't have much to say, and sent a friend who had an affair with his wife on a doomed mission.
Ms. Blore, a typical British old lady, is always meticulous and overly serious on some issues. That little girl isn't a murder, right? She could have saved her. She didn't. Maybe it wasn't entirely selfish. And the question of personality, I think is the factor of religious belief.
The final judge, the planner of the whole case. A person with an abusive mentality and an extreme sense of justice, rigorous thinking and a frightening way of doing things, the people he invited to Soldier Island are all people who have committed lives and escaped legal responsibility. The judge has an extreme sense of justice. At the same time, he also knew that he was a psychopath, so in the end he killed everyone in a strange and ingenious way and ended himself.
A few years ago, when I read this book, I was so frightened that for several days, I always felt that there was someone else in the room. At that time, the horror and tension that I read in one breath was indescribable. The whole person was always in a state of nervousness. While watching, I gasped for breath. The curtains were moved slightly by the wind, and I was so scared that I almost turned my back. Now watching TV shows feels even more terrifying, and the feeling of horror is restored intact. From the dark cloud and smoky General Island in the first scene to the old house full of corpses to the beach washed by blood and sea water again and again, the whole play is dark and dark, and the darkness and sinister nature of human nature are exposed.
The most terrifying part of the whole incident is that when everyone discovered the relationship between this incident and the nursery rhyme, the fear was self-evident. Waiting for death was more painful than the process of dying. Everyone was suspicious of each other and had no trust. Without warmth, without knowing who to be an enemy or a friend, loneliness makes people seem so helpless and small.
Death is the best atonement, and the judge's death is the most reassuring. He has successfully maintained the justice that he yearns for most, and has also successfully freed himself from his disgust. It's just other people, some of them, who didn't realize their mistakes until they died, and then reincarnated, maybe their nature was hard to change.
