It's too late to think, but it's easy to understand

The movie went very fast, the old version was 2 hours, this one is only 1.5 hours. If you haven't seen the old version, you have a lot to think about. But the suspenseful setting is a little worse than the old version, and it feels like narration for the sake of narration. Some clues are just too obvious, just because it's fast, you don't have time to think.
I want to talk about two versions of Poirot here. The old version of the crooked neck looks awkward, but it is very excited and has a comedic feel. The new version of depression makes you depressed and makes you feel that he is very irritable, but a little powerless.
Poirot cried bitterly at the end of the play. In fact, there are still some touches. Perhaps in China, we are used to convincing ourselves that the law is nothing but human affection. The feeling of guilt in my hands is painful.

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Mary Debenham: You said of the woman in Istanbul that she knew the rules of her culture and knew what breaking them would mean. So did Cassetti.

    Hercule Poirot: [harshly] And so do you!

    Mary Debenham: When you've been denied justice... you are incomplete. It feels that God has abandoned you in a stark place. I asked God... I think we all did... what we should do, and he said do what is right. And I thought if I did, it would make me complete again.

    Hercule Poirot: [coldly] And are you?

    Mary Debenham: [long pause, then] But I did what was right.

  • Lieutenant Blanchflower: If I may speak out of turn, sir... I think it unjust that one mistake cost Lieutenant Morris so dearly. He was a good man... who was involved in an accident.

    Hercule Poirot: [turns to face him] Unjust?

    Lieutenant Blanchflower: He made an error of judgement. He was a good man.

    Hercule Poirot: It did not have to end in suicide.

    Lieutenant Blanchflower: I think he believed he had no choice.

    Hercule Poirot: A man like your friend, Lieutenant, always has choice, and it was his choice to lie that brought him into difficulty with the law.

    [He turns away]
