best version

This version is full of depressing, heavy and desolate atmosphere from beginning to end, and the eyes of those who watch it at the end are moist. The airtight carriage, the sinful dead, the twelve stab wounds, the Orient Express was not difficult for Polo to reason about compared to other cases. From the beginning of the middle section, Poirot basically knew what he knew, and his inner justice and legal entanglement started from that moment, and it didn't break out until the last ten minutes. Compared with the old version of the reasoning, although it is weakened, it is reasonable and reasonable. He has experienced countless physical and mental exhaustions. Even though he is still wise and sharp, he has seen everything early, but he does not have the energy to impassively identify the murderers one by one.

As an old version of an independent film, it is a classic, and as an episode in a series of TV series, this version is also an undoubted classic.

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]
