This film plays a very important warning role, that is to tell girls: one, don't drink; two, don't be a junior. Meaningful!

"The Girl on the Train" is a good story, and the suspenseful part is well controlled, but because there are only a few characters, the "mystery" in the second half is discouraged. The point of this film is that two fighting women, Isa in "Mission Impossible" and Rita in "Edge of Tomorrow", play a weak female play, otherwise the actors are "actors". , at the end of the film, the scene where the two of them were covered in blood and looked at each other in the police station, in a trance, thought it was an action movie. There is also a very important warning role in this film, which is to tell girls: one, don't drink; two, don't be a junior. Meaningful!

[first lines]
Rachel: [narrating] My husband used to tell me I have an overactive imagination. I can't help it. I mean, haven't you ever been on a train and wondered about the lives of the people who live near the tracks? The lives you've never lived. These are things I want to know. Twice a day, I sit in the third car from the front where I have the perfect view into my favorite house: Number 15, Beckette Road.
[Rachel sees a woman on her back porch in the morning]
Rachel: I don't know when exactly, I suppose I started noticing her about a year ago, and gradually as the months went past, she became important to me. I'm not the girl I used to be. I think people can see it on my face.
[Rachel sees the same woman at night with her husband]
Rachel: She's what I lost. She's everything I want to be.
Rachel: [now sitting in the train station, drawing] I imagine she's a painter. She's creative. He's a doctor or an architect. He has a good laugh. She can't cook. I wonder what they say to each other before they go to sleep.
Rachel: [now on the evening train again] Today her name is Jess. Tomorrow it could be Lisa or Amber - it all depends on the day. It depends on my mood. The truth is, I don't know her name.

Megan: A teacher once told me I was a mistress of self-reinvention. I wasn't really sure what it meant at the time. But since moving here, I've come to understand it. Ardsley-on-Hudson is boring and routine. It's a fucking baby factory. I wanna start my life over again. So far, I've been a rebellious teenager, lover, waitress, gallery director, nanny, and a whore. Ands not necessarily in that order. I can't just be a wife anymore. That's why I stay awake at night, staring at the ceiling. In fact, the only time I feel like myself is when I'm running.
Dr. Kamal Abdic: You always felt that way?
Megan: Maybe since I was about 17. With Mac.
Dr. Kamal Abdic: Hmm. Mac? Who's Mac?
Megan: My brothers best friend. My brother who died.
