When it comes to the famous British detective novel writer, Agatha Christine is definitely a legend that cannot be ignored. Her detective Polo series has been put on the screen and used by actors of different eras in their own ways. Interpretation. Beginning in 1989, the Great Detective Polo series began to be broadcast in the United Kingdom. The image of Polo played by David Suchet is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is still regarded as a classic even today. Previously, "Murder on the Orient Express", as a classic case in Grandma's works, has been remade into a movie, which will not be described in detail here. Many viewers of the original party and the 74 version think that compared with the previous version, the 10 version is too depressing and heavy. It focuses on magnifying Polo's inner choices and struggles about law and love. After the film ends, the feeling of powerlessness and pain still pervades his heart for a long time. This time, Polo is no longer simply solving puzzles or solving cases. What he delivers is the belief and justice that he has insisted on throughout his life. At the beginning of the film, in the dark and cramped room, Polo conducts a justice trial on the Palestinian lieutenant. Fairness, righteous words, and the lieutenant's crime-fearing suicide did not shake the justice he insisted on. Here, Polo told the soldiers escorting him: There is always a choice. This expresses the view that Polo has always insisted, that any outcome is produced by personal choice, that is, people are responsible for what they do, without exception. On the streets of Istanbul, Poirot witnessed the chasing and beating of a woman who had committed adultery. In the biblical allusions, the woman who commits adultery will be stoned to death, but Jesus finally forgives the woman. The author believes that the people who throw stones to punish criminals are also guilty of their own sins. No one can take the role of God to punish others. The scene also alludes to the final choice of Polo at the end of the film, which lays the groundwork for the development of the next story. Although Ratchett, the wealthy American businessman, is the victim of the film, he is really the villain who everyone gets and kills. Cruel, violent, and scheming, the other twelve passengers on the train define themselves. For the members of the jury, this journey of revenge or trial was carefully planned. If it weren't for Polo's midway joining and the sudden heavy snowfall, this revenge operation might have gone as smoothly as planned, but the reality is often such an unexpected outcome, to a certain extent, this is also a fateful ending. On the train, when Miss Demehan talks to Poirot about the woman who was stoned in Istanbul, Poirot's interpretation of justice goes like this: Justice is always upsetting to witness, justice is often regrettable to bystanders. I have to say that this edition of the Orient Express contains many of Polo's classic lines about law and morality, which are wonderful to read carefully. Most of the shots in the second half of the film are shot in a narrow carriage, and occasionally there is a scene where a train drives through the vast snow field. This black and white form a sharp contrast, bringing a visual impact to the audience in the color tone of the film. Feeling, from another level to foil the heaviness and depression of the storyline. In the dining car on the second day, my friend Mr. Booker introduced the identities of the passengers to Polo. The author thinks this introduction is very interesting. Everyone has different identities, including a Russian princess and a German maid, a Hungarian diplomat and his wife, and a British Officers, female missionaries from Sweden, etc., it seems that a group of people from all over the world will gather in a small car by fate, but they don't know that a well-arranged and well-planned murder is brewing in this small car at the same time. . The night finally came, and the revenge began quietly. Before going to bed, people in both rooms were praying. The difference was that as a devout Catholic, Polo prayed to God to bless the good deeds he had done, while Ratchett prayed to God to forgive the evil deeds he had committed. One evil and one good reveal the differences in human nature and form a contrast. Here, the cross of Polo appears for the first time, symbolizing firm and devout faith. The second occurrence is when the train hits a snowdrift. The shaking train makes the cross on the table crumbling. The shaking cross brings a sense of unease. The author believes that from here, that is, after the murder, Polo's belief began to step by step. collapse. In this 1V12 challenge, Polo's opponents are not only twelve murderers with prominent identities, but also their inner humanity and reason. In the dim flickering candlelight, Poirot roared emotionally with tears in his eyes: The rule of law, it must hold high! And if it falls, you should pick it up and hold if higher ! For all society, all civilized people, will have nothing to shelter them if it is destroyed. The rule of law must be above all else! Even if it is unfair, we should regain our beliefs and make them enduring. Once legal beliefs collapse, civilized society will have no place to live! David Suchet's hoarse cry interprets Poirot's firm and shaky inner emotions very well, and an indisputable grief is about to come out. It can be seen that he is fighting against himself and his own beliefs at this time. Its pain can be imagined. One of the scenes made the author's memory very deep. Mrs. Hubbard weakly took off her wig, her gray and sparse hair became more messy under the candlelight, and the whole person lost her previous nervousness. The ordinary mother of the pain of the family, a poor person who was once abandoned by law and justice, asked Poirot with trembling and firm voice: Who is responsible for the incompetence of the law, which returned to Poirot's previous point of view, that if Everyone implements the justice they insist on, and regards the judiciary as nothing, then what will the society look like, and what is the dignity of the judiciary? Where is the dignity of social civilization? The author also agrees with this point of view. The female missionary told Polo that God directed her to do the right thing, but her personality was not made complete by revenge, but instead became a thug like Ratchett, depriving a person of life and carrying eternal sins . It was dawn, the police arrived, Polo was holding a cross in his hand, and in the heavy snow, Polo walked step by step to the waiting people in the snow. In the scene at this time, everyone's position was as delicate as an oil painting layout, and the director once again served the audience. Shows a beautiful group image. Poirot seemed to have aged ten years overnight. After he told the police with a hoarse voice, he looked back deeply. This is the only time that Poirot fabricated the facts and let the twelve murderers go. He also knew that this time was enough for the God he believed in to abandon him, and he also became a sin bearer. Clutching tightly in his hands, he was begging God for forgiveness and forgiveness. The last scene of the film is a close-up of Polo's tearful face. I believe that seeing such a Polo, the audience as fans will also cry with distress. Such a hero, a representative of justice, finally succumbed to human nature and betrayed himself. In addition to being powerless and distressed, the author is left with endless sighs. If you are a fan of British dramas, in addition to enjoying the wonderful plot, you will also find many familiar faces in the 10th edition, the master of Downton Abbey, the will of sense8, the model worker, and the author is also watching it back. Only then did I find out that the model worker who played Demihan actually looked like a little freckles. When I watched it, the little freckles were not so famous. I couldn't help but sigh that fate is magical and life is full of surprises. In every way, the 10th edition of "Murder on the Orient Express" is definitely a classic worth watching. Even if you haven't seen this series, it can be watched as an independent film. Of course, for the author For the old fans of , it is natural to never get tired of watching it! Last tribute, forever poirot, forever mon ami.
