1. When the New Testament loses its adjudicative power, people turn to the Old Testament to obtain justice that is not legal but natural law.
The Orient Express is also a deserted island, a place outside the law. After all, this is still a classic story.
2. The good thing about Agatha is that she has never shown off her skills. She has played a set of Taizu Changquan and Bodhidharma with solid skills, which is truly the foundation of a school. It is too easy to adapt a stage play, and it is not difficult for a modern adaptation to dig out the characters' emotions a little.
This version has already been filmed very revealingly, and it is still the British kind of subtlety of Agatha. amazing.

Murder happened between such pictures. I prefer this kind of picture: those who have read old Russian novels, see the train in the wind and snow, the train platform lit by kerosene lamps, and the drifting snow, and they will think of some classical poignant beauty, and some hidden force majeure .
Creation loves symmetry, and symmetry is a classical order.
That era is over.

But no, Gu Long actually wrote a story similar to "Murder on the Orient Express" in "Wulin Wai Shi": that is, "The wind and snow are in Zhongzhou, and the rivers and lakes have no ancestors"... The introduction. For such revenge, in the eastern world, it is inevitable to ask for help in the rivers and lakes, in the martial arts, and in the ninja - the cold, helpless Shura Ji...
So I always thought that a country lacking the rule of law would not be able to raise Sherlock Holmes and Poirot, but could only produce royal cats and Bao Qingtian.
This is also a classical order.
The next time I write a review of Agatha, I hope it will be more like a technical post.
