A cup of tea to release justice

As a die-hard fan of Grandma, even if you look at her works, you can't fast-forward, and you have to savor every detail carefully.

Originally thought that the remake of Chinese famous novels had "menopause", but the shocking behavior continued, but I didn't expect foreigners to do the same. It's not the first time Murder on the Orient Express has been remade, but this time David Suchet's subversive performance interprets a new Poirot for us, and of course overthrows all of his Poirots.

At the beginning of the whole play, the screenwriter constantly exaggerates the color of tragic: Poirot judges the case impartially and finds the murderer, but thankfully is considered to be overkill; the woman who was stoned to death because of adultery. Polo's explanation is: Justice is often upsetting to witness. This doesn't seem to be the short, nosy Belgian detective.

The ending is: in the cold carriage, after fighting with the group, Poirot was moved by a cup of warm tea, and finally reluctantly gave in with tears in his eyes. I was really nervous, the damn screenwriter wouldn't tamper with the ending. The originally lovely Polo turned into a worried old man. Polo-style humor is not seen throughout.

There are certain things that God will never forgive, like when you violate his law. The Goddess of Justice is blindfolded, but she will see. God and the goddess have figured it out, why can't Polo figure it out?

Of course, the veteran actors in the remake of the UK are also all out, and their performances are also striving to make breakthroughs, which is understandable. However, the golden lineup of the 74th edition is ahead, and it always leaves people speechless if they want to remake it. In particular, in the 74th edition, Countess Wasserstein wore a scarlet dressing gown as she walked gracefully through the narrow corridor of the train, which left a deep impact on me, and this edition is also completely subverted.

Alright, alright, if someone gives me a cup of hot tea on a cold day, I'll compromise, Polo is a human too, I don't blame you. I will give 2 stars.

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]
