"Your life is no longer complete when you are wronged...
It's as if God banished you into a barren land. I've asked God...I think we've all asked what to do, and God said: do the right thing.
I think if I did, my world would be whole again..."
"So is it complete now?"
The tutor's lips trembled, but he finally stopped dodging and looked at the detective: "But I did the right thing."
I haven't read the original book, and I don't know how much influence this remark had on Poirot's final decision, but it did bring a lot of shock and reflection to the audience: what is justice where the law can't take care of it?
Compared to common detective suspense films, the pace of the story seems a bit slow, but the outburst at the end and the thought-provoking ones deserve four stars or more.
Finally, a wave of starring David's acting skills, the eyes of walking in the snow before and at the end of the mystery, are so contagious!
