#murder on the orient express film

[notthewriteryourelookingfor]

I feel like im late to this discussion (cuz the movie came out in like 2017) but I finally got around to listening to the Murder on the Orient Express audio book and was incredibly surprised when, in the book, the passengers were like "yes I know that child, I was her godmother/nurse/dog walker/first teachers best friends cat/etc the person who murdered the child and very publicly got away with it was the man who died? No I didn't recognise him."

They don't say this in the film, so Poirot just kinda pulls it out of nowhere. Yes it makes it incredibly dramatic and that scene gave me chills at the cinema but it did feel like a bit of a guess from Poirot.

Poirot being told that they knew the child doesn't take away any impact of the final reveal and I'm curious as to what Poirot lovers think about the changes made in the film now.

One Dress a Day Challenge

June: Brown Redux

Murder on the Orient Express / Vanessa Redgrave as Mary Debenham

This patterned dress is a bit busy when paired with the equally boldly patterned coat and scarf. The bronzey brown goes well with her red hair, though.

Just a heads up that when Kino Lorber’s 4K release of the 1974 Murder on the Orient Express, I am absolutely going to be insufferable about it and comparing it to the wonderful HD Paramount remaster that was done in 2018/2022.

I apologize to all my mutuals and advance.

"Barking spiders," Deryn said softly, realizing that she'd seen pictures of this contraption in the penny newspapers. It was the Orient Express.

Do we think she has time to solve a murder while she's here? I mean, if Poirot is too busy?

I rewatched Murder on the Orient Express (2017) today and what I didn't notice (or appreciate, I guess) before was the film's beautiful and haunting score. It's a bit sad, but this story is filled with sadness. I think it's one of Agatha Christie's saddest.

If it wasn't for the character of Bouc and the jokes, it would be a much darker film.

Creía que Poirot era inmune a la fiebre del amor. Una vez estuve enfermo de eso. Me dejo con suficiente arrepentimiento para toda la vida.
