Some feelings and pitfalls about the tragedy on the Nile

After watching Murder on the Orient Express, I suddenly became interested in the adaptation of Agatha's novel, so I couldn't wait to watch the tragedy on the Nile. Write it down, hoping to communicate with friends who see it.

When I first saw Linnet making enemies everywhere, I thought it was the same routine as the murder on the Orient Express. Knowing that Linnet would die, I thought everyone was a murderer. After looking at it, I realized that it turned out to be a different routine. Not to make money and kill? ! The acting skills of the actors are a little exaggerated. There are many flaws in the reasoning process. 1. I feel that Simon's killing of Linnet is too far-fetched. There will be too much uncertainty in the implementation of this deliberate killing method, and the shot that killed Linnet should not be silenced according to the play. Since the play Some of the passengers in the box heard footsteps in the corridor, so why didn't they hear gunshots, if the killing of Linnet attracted other passengers, wouldn't it be finished on the spot, and if Simon was seen going back and forth, wouldn't it be a plan? To fail, this method of killing is too uncertain. After all, the ferry is a small public place, and it is still very dangerous. 2. At first, I thought that Simon really liked Linnet. I didn't see how obsessed he and Jackie were. Instead, Jackie was crazy. At the end of the film, Jackie said that she found out that Simon wanted to kill Linnet to inherit the property. If Simon wants money, there's no need to kill Linnet at all, it's ok to spend money with Linnet directly. At the same time, according to the play, Linnet should be able to manage her property after marriage, but because the lawyer wants to embezzle her money, she cannot manage it independently. So personally, I don't think Simon would choose to kill Linnet at this time. The process of inheriting the property is a bit troublesome, and it's too hasty. 3. At the end of the film, Jackie's statement portrayed herself as being too passive. I thought she was trying to blame Simon, because until Linnet died, I didn't see Simon showing any unbearable feelings for Linnet, so I suddenly felt that Simon It's still a little pitiful, I wonder if I feel sympathy because I think other actors are a bit handsome? But what is unexpected is that both of them die in love. I think Simon definitely doesn't want to die. It should be Jackie's idea, because from the beginning of the film, when Jackie introduces Simon to Linnet, the name used is my Simon, and Simon and Linnet later After getting married for a long time, she couldn't let go of her heart. Following her everywhere, it can be seen that Jackie is actually very controlling and possessive. Suicide is also a form of possession. Since life can't be together, death will follow. I guess if Simon could have foreseen such an outcome, he would never have killed Linnet, and he would have been left with no money. The above are some personal feelings, write them out to share with you.

    Compared with the original book, there are fewer key characters such as Mother and Son, Cornelia, Van Thorpe, etc. Colonel Race's pursuit mission has also been omitted, and the restricted space has been shortened and concise. In addition to the core tricks, another essence of the original book is the arrangement of rooms (especially the port and starboard sides). Many effective inferences are derived from witnesses built on this basis. Unfortunately, the film does not strengthen it.

    This movie is better than the original. Ah, I'm really obsessed with the arrangement and dressing of Grandma's movies. Egypt is a very important supporting role, and it is especially pleasant to find that the Nile now is almost the same as it was then. Attention, Mia Farrow as Jacky and Jane Birkin as the maid!
