Not so satisfied

The original work is so wonderful, I always feel that the adaptation is too different from the performance of the actors. This version of the adaptation is very unacceptable, only the old lady and the victim perform the feeling in the novel.

The previous case in Syria can be completely omitted, but it is not mentioned in the novel to see Poirot from the perspective of a French lieutenant. When I originally read it, I fantasized about the internal power struggle of the French army stationed in Syria. The dark tide was surging, and it turned out to be a love murder? ? At the beginning of the novel, only Mr Ratchett knew the identity of Poirot on the Orient Express, and the murderer did not know, so he took a risk and was unfortunately exposed due to accidents such as snow parking. Bouc made Poirot's identity known to everyone at the stage of ticket checking in the TV series, making the murderers appear bolder. This change is neither good nor bad. The part about checking the ticket and getting on the train is better. Mary Debenham witnessed that Bouc, the director of the Orient Express, wanted to take Poirot on the train. After getting on the train, he quickly (the performance in the play was very flat) informed the other passengers in the car, and then one of the more The lady of status went to the door of the car, claiming that M. Harris was her friend, and that Poirot had no right to occupy his seat, intending to prevent outsiders from boarding the car. I think this adaptation is good. After all, the TV series only has an hour and a half, so try your best to lay the groundwork in the front, so that the reverse will not fail.

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]
