This version of Murder on the Orient Express is the second time
I've watched it. The drama version of the Polo series
didn't like this actor very much at the time. Compared with the classic version, he was so fierce and old, and he was not cute
at all. He didn't understand this "just trial", which made me feel a little fake
. I watched it again yesterday. After the season, I
watched Poirot grow old a little
. Look at this arrogant mustache, elegantly and confidently catch countless hidden suspects.
Justice has already filled his chest. This
time I fell in love with this version . The military invited an officer who had problems in his private life but performed well in the army. The officer committed suicide on the spot; one of the officer's subordinates bluntly said that the officer was a good man, and because of these problems, he did not deserve to be killed. Poirot responded directly and sternly that if he made a mistake, he needed to be judged, and he did not commit suicide. The subordinate said that "he may have no choice". Personal thoughts: Officer A has a higher status and has made outstanding contributions. Is his life value higher than that of ordinary people? B It is difficult for excellent people to admit their mistakes, including high requirements for themselves, followed by the high standards of ordinary people for excellent people, or they are terrible. Difficulty admitting mistakes can lead to over-judgment of oneself. 2. Polo witnessed a local Islamic woman being stoned for adultery. He looked at it for a while, but left helplessly. In the back, Polo's response is that women know the social norms they have to abide by. Although she should not be guilty, this is a foreign legal standard and has no right to interfere. Here, it seems that Polo's sense of justice is not so strong, and he may care too much about the formulation of norms, rather than human nature and human power.
Personal thoughts:
The legal system cannot be perfect, nor can it be perfect, so, should we raise objections, resist reasonably, or just let it go?
3. Polo will definitely return to London temporarily. When the train tickets were sold out that night, he was taken directly to the railway station by Polo’s admirers and the person in charge of the train line section. There will always be places on the train for “big men”. in case for need.
The purser said that there was no extra space, not even the usual box reserved for "special people".
Passengers who have boarded the train comment: Did you see the person below who wants to get on the train?
When a lady's companion was late and Poirot was "forced" to use the vacant seat, the lady berated it as unfair.
When Polo moved into the "two-person box" that belonged to someone else, the men in the box immediately complained loudly.
It seems that Polo is not welcome on the whole train.
Finally, the purser said solemnly: This is an arrangement. A word stopped the complaining.
Not surprisingly, passengers are afraid of flight attendants.
4. Before watching this episode, I never thought that Polo was a Catholic.
Not familiar with religion, so can't comment.
5. Poirot had already figured out the truth in the final stage. He was silent because he was too lazy to reveal the whole story of the crime to a car of suspects who were still in disguise with his years of behavior. He just wanted to tell the truth directly to the local police.
But killing someone, even if the person deserves to die, he can't calm down. What's more, there is a world-class detective by his side, and his silence is even more frightening at this time.
Only to continue acting, the maid shouted: I dreamed of his face again, the face of the suspect, the man.
Another woman reiterated: I saw someone in my box.
. . . . . .
These practices annoyed the Belgian mustache, he was angry, he ranted about revealing secrets, he rebuked everyone for flouting the law, and yes, everyone trampled on his justice.
So is Polo's justice wrong?
Does a heinous person deserve to die after escaping justice?
Can lynching be used?
Was the man who killed him innocent?
Going back to the second question, Poirot could watch a woman who was just
pregnant with someone else's child being stoned and beaten to death;
Notorious and deserved." Then he turned around silently.
Possibly, this is the "sequelae" of Polo's work for many years, trusting the law, relying on the law, so defending the law.
At the end of the story, Poirot suffered from inner torment and told the police another version of the crime. He stroked the cross and walked alone to the snowy field.
PS In fact, in the Great Detective Polo series, what I didn’t like about Polo at the beginning was that he would reveal all the truth at the end of a case, many of which are not directly related to the case, but more of a personal secret. Or unspeakable.
But I found that in Agatha's writings, after the exposure, it seems that some people face up to their hearts and their feelings; moreover, every time Polo seems to be fighting a battle of exposure, everyone has problems, and in the end everyone only They can smile at each other silently.
In the end, Poirot was not so merciless all the time, and he passed by half-opening his eyes on the theft of the Russian lady he admired.
