I've got my head covered

I haven't read the original book, so I stayed up late to watch this movie on a whim. The way of thinking is very unique. It is the style I like. It feels inexplicably related to the fatal ID. One is to find a murderer who does not exist from living people, and the other is to be surrounded by murderers. For this movie, after watching it, there is only one question, whether the twelve people should be judged. I watched Suyuan and the melting pot before, and there was a feeling that the law is not always on the side of justice, and this film seems to hide this reality. The murderer killed 5 innocent people and could escape the trial of the law. Obviously, the law is not absolutely fair. Does that mean that the actions of those 12 people who killed the murderer are not suitable to be measured by legal standards? After all, the law is not fair. But. . . Always feel weird? Oops, start talking nonsense. Do not say do not say.

Finally, let me confess to the last scene, the back of the detective is too sad. It is never easy to give up your faith in your heart.

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]
