Sin comes from the heart

I recently watched Grandma's work "Sin in the Sun", and I really like Grandma, she is really a genius.
In fact, the story is plain and simple: for money, the husband and his wife killed their lover. But around this center, the author has set up layers of fog, putting a bunch of people who have enemies with the victim Alena on an island. Everyone has contradictions with Alena. Everyone seems to be a murderer, of course. The routine is that the person who seems the least likely to commit a crime is the murderer. In fact, since everyone has a suspicion, the criminal will definitely protect himself and create an alibi in order to confuse the public.
Back to this theme: money and human nature. In order to get money, Patrick can kill his ex-wife, let his current wife Christine prove his alibi, and for money, Patrick designed a trap to kill his lover, Alena, of course. Linna is not a good woman either. She is arrogant, self-willed, mean-spirited stepdaughter, and not obedient to women, but this cannot be the reason for her death. Recalling what Polo said in "The Tragedy on the Nile": A woman's desire is nothing but to be loved. Alena is a sparkling diamond, dazzling and beautiful, but she also made this big mistake. She thought it was inevitable for Patrick to fall in love with her for such a successful her, and it was inevitable for Patrick to snub his wife for her. This self-righteousness Killed Alena's life.
Sometimes I think that in love, beauty and means may be triumphant for a while, but the final victory has nothing to do with it. God is fair to everyone, and all the benefits and luck will not fall on you, so keeping your heart is the most important thing.
Rich people are not necessarily happy, because people around may be hypocritical.
The poor are not necessarily sad, because the truth in the ordinary is the most precious.

    "Boiled eggs, you think he is like an egg, and he speaks plainly." The lines and the translation are very close to the original work. This version of Polo also focuses on the gentle comedy factor, compared to the gentleman version of David. The details are foreshadowing, but without mentioning that the heroine was a physical education teacher, it is less convincing; the overall British taste is very full (I like the light watercolor at the beginning), the actresses are especially charming, and the dubbing is comfortable.

Evil Under the Sun quotes

  • Poirot: The "Arlena Stewarts" of this world do not count; their domination is of the moment. Really to count, a woman must have either goodness or brains.

    Christine Redfern: You can't actually believe that men care for either of those things, can you?

    Poirot: Oh yes I do, madam.

  • Rex Brewster: [a little too solicitously, about Linda's step-mother, Arlena] And how is your lovely mother, this morning?

    Linda Marshall: She's not lovely and she's not my mother!
