I have recently rekindled my interest in mystery novels, so I found the mystery queen Agatha's Murder on the Orient Express to re-read it, and found the movie to re-watch it again. In fact, I have a deep childhood psychological shadow on this book. When I was a child, I don’t know which elder read this book to me as a bedtime story. To this day, there is still a female voice echoing in my mind, and the rest of the people Continue on the train, as for where they are heading, no one knows, no one has seen them again...
Rereading it now, in addition to holding the mentality of paying homage to the classics, at the same time, with the growth of my age, I have a new understanding of the past stories. A lot of the stories I've seen recently are about mass murders. Generally speaking, the fewer the participants, the better. In this film, the opposite is true. All people are murderers. For mass murder, how to cover up each other's behavior without revealing the clues should be more difficult to achieve than how to kill? Therefore, all of them became actors in the next interrogation, and began to perform hard in front of the great detective Polo. Everyone's testimony seemed to prove each other, but they inadvertently exposed themselves. I think the most exciting part of the play is at the end of the film, one is Polo's two reasoning, the first is simple and clear, the second is brilliant. The second climax is the performance of the twelve jurors, that is, the twelve killers in the execution of the murder. Everyone will give their own reasons for the murder during the execution, and the angle of the knife is absolutely wonderful. The old and debilitated princess held the knife very high, but the angle of the stab was skewed, which was in line with her physical condition; the former governess who became a believer, stabbed the knife weakly, indicating that it was not in line with her beliefs. Deep hatred, but suffering from contrary to their own beliefs. Of course, this scene in which everyone is muttering in blue light has been my nightmare since I was a child, and I still feel shivering now, but when I watch it again, I start to wonder, where did the bloodstain go? Even dead people will splatter blood when they are stabbed, right? Even if the amount is not large, it shouldn't be seen on the dead body, right? And this group of people has a deep hatred with the dead, why not execute it when he is conscious? Wouldn't this be more indictable of his crimes? The third climax is the final celebration. Everyone raises their glasses to celebrate and celebrates the mother and daughter who have avenged their great revenge. Everyone's performance is also different, some are intimate, some are polite, and even everyone's Eyes can be called classics. But after reading the famous book, I still don't understand, why did they make sure that Polo, the doctor and the train director would not betray them? Shouldn't cutting weeds be the best option?
