Everyone on the train is lying to justice for their own benefit.
Little do they know that a tiny lie will change the logical relationship of the whole thing like a butterfly effect.
Hitchcock is really a wonderful director who can write suspense stories! Everyone on the train is silently causing evil to happen for their own benefit. The judge only cared about his own name and was silent; the judge’s lover only told the truth because he threatened the judge to divorce; the magician, the conductor, etc. lied to justice because of money; the two male gentlemen only wanted to go home early and chose to be silent ; The most selfish thing is the political activities between the two countries. It is not until the last minute that the truth will be told to the car in the dark, and at the same time, the lives of the car will be sacrificed to complete the political contest.
In the end, I don't know whether the heroine's sense of justice pushed them to the brink of danger, or the political selfishness made them go to the guillotine.
