A collection of three one-book books – Poirot Season 4
Today, let's talk about the British drama "Poirot Season 4".
Titled Agatha Christie's Poirot Season 4 (1992), alias Detective Poirot Saga.
There are only 3 episodes this season, and only 3 cases have been filmed. Although the number of episodes is small, each episode is 100 minutes long, which is almost equal to a movie, and it still looks very enjoyable.
The three stories of this season, "Murder in the ABC", "Murder in the Clouds", and "Murder of the Dentist", are all from a single book, and the content is very exciting.
The first episode is the famous "Murder on ABC".
When I first chose to make up for the big tome of "Poirot the Great Detective", I first watched the BBC version of "Murder on ABC".
Comparing the two versions of Murder on ABC, it is clear that the two are different. The BBC version sets the case after Poirot's retirement, and the old sheriff Japp is no longer alive, and the whole film is filled with a sad feeling of old Ji Futuo and the miserable feeling that things are not human. The ITV version of Poirot is still a young and energetic age, and the partners around him are also alive and kicking, and everyone still solves the case in a joyful and peaceful way.
The two versions have their own emphases, the BBC version is like a single book, in addition to telling the case itself, but also to introduce the story behind Poirot himself, ITV can save a lot of space on the main characters, and the audience will not perceive the thinness of the characters.
The latter two stories take place in Poirot's least favorite scene, where the detective has to overcome his own psychological shadow to complete the work of solving the case.
Poirot, who was originally arrogant and delicate, is also an ordinary person who will be afraid of the sky and afraid of dentists. Looking at his all-encompassing appearance, it was really funny.
Miss Raymond, the secretary of the season, did not appear, hastings did not accompany him the whole time, mainly by Poirot's partner Sheriff Japp.
01 ABC Murders (ABC Murders)
Short Comment: The best way to hide a leaf is to create a forest. Finding a special leaf in the middle of a forest is no less difficult than finding a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, Poirot was not blinded by the illusion, and the seemingly unrelated cases were indeed unrelated, but there was a small point of detection.
02 Death in the Clouds (single book)
Short Review: A murder in a secret room in a high-altitude plane. Poirot, who suffers from a fear of heights, is going to fly to the sky again, and it is a real ordeal for him. The murder occurred in the cabin of the plane, and the scope of the suspect was also limited to these people in the cabin, and if it was a senior reader of detective novels, it was likely that he would have the answer in his heart long ago.
03 One Two Buckle My Shoe (single book)
Short comment: Poirot is most afraid of the dentist, Poirot just finished seeing the dentist, the dentist died... There is a serial murder around the dentist, and the truth hidden behind the illusion is left for Poirot to uncover. Whether it is a high-ranking government official or a rich businessman, all criminal acts that disregard the lives of others should be punished, and the task of the great detective is to find out the truth and give justice to the victims.
