Before sharing the fungus to see a "Murder on the Orient Express", it is one of the most classic works of reasoning movies, the film is logical and meticulous plot, its hidden deep story is touching, and it is difficult to calm people after watching this movie.
And today the sharing fungus watched another adaptation of the film "Massacre on the Nile" by the original author of "Murder on the Orient Express", and found some interesting places, and the sharing fungus will tell you about the movie viewing experience.
Before watching today's "Massacre on the Nile", the sharing fungus has always thought that this movie is the same as "Murder on the Orient Express", but after watching it, I found that these two movies have three movies of the same name, although the story is the same story, but the actors and picture quality of the film are still different, watching the movies shot in different eras can still feel slightly different.
In the case of the 1978 version of "Massacre on the Nile" that is shared today, the lead actor Peter Ustinov interpreted the great detective Poirot as an orderly, quiet detective during the investigation, and the audience could not see the doubts and confusion from his face, although it made people feel that the detective Poirot was very deep, but there was a lack of human touch.
Relatively speaking, David Suche's role as Poirot in the 2010 version of Murder on the Orient Express is more realistic, of course, not that his performance is necessarily better than That of Peter Ustinov, but it makes the protagonist Poirot more detailed, showing both Poirot's difference and the confusion and confusion that Poirot shows for complex cases, which makes the plot more complicated. Otherwise, if people feel that they can easily solve the case, then the case is too ordinary.
Although the two actors play Poirot have different styles, they have both won the love of the audience, and it can be seen that the two film series played by the two actors in the following picture have very high Douban scores.
Let's talk about the latest film, the 2017 version of "Murder on the Orient Express" has been released but is scheduled to be released in 2022, and the new version of "Massacre on the Nile" is still in preparation. In fact, this latest remake of the movie sharing fungus did not watch, but the quality of a movie can sometimes be seen in some small details.
First look at the Douban score is only 6.9, compared to the above 8.1 rating is really a lot worse, the remake of the film obviously has a better shooting technology and artistic expression methods, but the film's wind review compared to the previous work is so much worse is really unreasonable.
Looking at the stills, the villain killed in the film is a mafia who brutally kills young girls, but this negative role is actually played by the famous Hollywood movie star Johnny Depp, looking at him is like seeing Captain Jack in "Pirates of the Caribbean", how can not hate this negative role. Setting the villain so charming, this personality problem is too big.
Let's talk about another bad trend in Hollywood movies in recent years: the racial diversity of characters. From the poster of the 2017 version of "Murder on the Orient Express", you can see that the first man on the right is a black actor, and Hollywood films in recent years have gradually added a large number of actors of color to it, which is worth advocating, but it has ruined many excellent film works.
In the case of this film, the real case of the story is from the 1930s, although there was already a black liberation movement in the 18th century, but it is unrealistic for a black man to really get a good job or even take a high-end trip like the "Orient Express", and although the film is morally supportive of racial equality, it is divorced from the authenticity of history.
Looking at the audience's bad reviews, we can roughly see the problems with this movie: the protagonist Poirot also has a problem, forcing the chubby Poirot in the original book who only knows how to judge the case to become flexible and handsome, losing the true connotation of this role. The plot changes have not been recognized by the audience, and even make people feel that this film is copying other works, which can be said that the direction of the production team's efforts is very problematic.
To sum up, if you are interested in the two classic movies "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Massacre on the Nile", I recommend that you watch the 2010 and 2004 versions of the film starring David Souchet, which can make you truly feel the charm of detective suspense movies.
