1. I think there are Easter eggs!
First, let's talk about surprises. Famous actors can often be found in British dramas (perhaps the actors in old dramas became famous a few years later). In the Orient Express, in addition to seeing Mr. Downton and Mrs. Model Worker, this time, I accidentally discovered that Sense8's Will is in it. There's also cosplay, the prosecutor's son. Brother Will was really cute and green back then, which matched the slightly unstable characters in the film very well.
Next is the beauty. It must be said that this episode of Orient Express, although it is a series, has given the configuration of a blockbuster movie. The snow scenes that the train passes by are definitely not special effects for fifty cents! What if you could take a train in Europe in winter? Sleeper travel is a luxury!

2. Perfect adaptation
Comparing the English version of 1974 and the Japanese version of 15 years, it can be found that the Japanese version is almost a copy of the English version of 1974. The dialogue and performance of each character in the play, the excited expressions of the 12 murderers (the jury) on the train, and Poirot's exaggerated crime-solving speech are almost a mold. I haven't read the novels myself, but I can infer from the 74th and 15th editions that the original novels are probably like them. . .
Well, the above is just for contrast, this version of the British drama is well adapted. BBC's filming of Agatha's classic works will almost always do sublimation theme adaptations (such as 16 years of no survivors). If the cheerful and exaggerated English version of 74 is the original, then this version of the Orient Express depicts the case more realistically, depicts the murderer (the jury) in more detail, and emphasizes Poirot's thinking about justice.
There is a depressing atmosphere throughout the story. From the suicide of Poirot's former officer at the beginning, to meeting an "adulter" woman in Istanbul and being thrown to death in troubled times, to Poirot's puzzle-solving speech in the cold dark night carriage at the end of the power outage (the original is exaggerated in a bright day) local commentary), all of which are shrouded in a heavy atmosphere. Then it's realistic, because the twelve murderers (the jury) are good people, educated people (It's true monsieur, you can tell these people are good people...), and when they decide to take the Violence and Violence "When you come to execute bad people and do justice by yourself, you must be heavy and cautious in your heart. Therefore, I can't understand the murderers in the Japanese version. Taking the train is like taking a picnic. . . . And this version of the adaptation, people feel more close to the truth.
Two other profound adaptations, one is Nursemaid's exposition of doctrine and firmness to enforce justice" There is a justice than the rule of the law..When he creates a hell on earth for those wrong....Jesus said, let those without sin throw the first stone." Compared to the original, she is very quail, but here she acts as a spiritual support. The second profound adaptation is the end of the case, Colonel John wants to kill Poirot with a gun (of course, Poirot has a protagonist halo), instead of the other two versions, the Colonel and the tutor sit obediently, seemingly full of confidence Poirot would be complicit with them. This change also brings the sublimation of the back (If we kill them, we would become like gansters...God knows how hard it would be to carry Casseti's murder through life).
The rest of the adaptations include the prosecutor's son (Mengmeng da Will~), the obstetrician, the maid lover driver and so on.
The only thing that doesn't change is that in every edition of the Orient Express, Mrs. Ambassador has always been the most beautiful woman in the show! Responsible for providing the highest appearance! The highest value! Yan value! ! !
3. The growth of Virgo Poirot~
The protagonist of the whole play is still Poirot. Poirot has solved the case for twelve seasons. As a man over 50 years old (please correct me if he is younger than 50 years old), Poirot, the god of death who has sent countless murderers to the guillotine, is naturally depressed instead of relying on acting to solve the case. So that's one of the reasons for the depressing atmosphere of this edition.
The suicide case of an officer at the beginning of the film is actually a foreshadowing. At this time, Poirot's heart for "justice and humanity" has begun to shake, even more after seeing the execution of adulterous women in Istanbul. And when Poirot finally found out that there were twelve murderers in the car, he was willing to tell the truth under the siege of these twelve murderers (you must know that it used to be Poirot + N civilians VS 1-2 murderers), he seemed to also Not at all worried about the calamity of death. However, Poirot had already affirmed their actions in his heart, and he was in the company of the 12 jurors, and his protest of "handing over to the law for execution" was actually arguing with his own heart, not with these 12 people. .
At the end, Poirot also accepted the hottea of the model worker, but he did not worry about being poisoned. It can be seen that he has no worries about these twelve people and agrees with them from the bottom of his heart. What he needs is these jury to further encourage him, Unlock the hurdles in his heart. "When you've been denied justice, you are incomplete. It feel that god had abandoned you in a stark place. I ask god, I think we all did we should do, and he said do what it it right. And I thought I did, it would make me complete again." - Encouragement from Sister Worker.
In the end, Poirot finally untied his knot and became less virgin. Of course, "he also wept silently~ I feel sorry for old Poirot~
The conclusion is, continue to support Grandma's movies, and love Grandma Ma and Poirot together!
Then I look forward to 2017 American version adaptation~~I don't want to surpass, I just hope not to destroy the three views~~
