belated justice

In 1957, Lumet's first film "Twelve Angry Men" made him shine, and the film became an eternal classic in film history.

Almost 20 years later, Lumet put his amazing talent into this "Murder on the Orient Express".

The background of the film is the Armstrong tragedy reported in the newspaper at the beginning. As the film unfolds, I slowly see the connection between the murder on the Orient Express and the Armstrong case. However, when the "complex answer" is revealed, when the car is said In addition to the detective and the chairman of the express train, there were still twelve people, and a strong shock came to my heart, and I was in awe of them.

The jury system, which was born in the United Kingdom, requires the consent of twelve people present before a sentence can be sent.

So we saw Lumet's "Twelve Angry Men". From the beginning of the twelve people who agreed that they were murderers to overturning their own conclusions, the twelve people were messengers of justice, which deeply shocked my conscience.

Once again, I saw the justice of the twelve people. With the concerted efforts of the twelve of them, I went to the murderer of the Armstrong case, and used the knife in their hands to carry out this justice trial and defend the existence of justice.

In the end, the scene was fixed, and the twelve people took turns toasting. I felt moved, the curtain of justice came down, and everyone was happy.

I like this complicated answer so much.

    It took many years to realize that the original lineup was so strong.

    Although it is a classic adaptation, the rhythm is too slow, Poirot is too crazy, can the scissors be more agile?

Murder on the Orient Express quotes

  • Hercule Poirot: Ah! "Godmother"! Now you have accidentally said something valuable.

  • Hercule Poirot: Tout de même, I must thank the pipe-smoking Colonel Arbuthnott for a remark which finally resolved all my confusions about this, uh, this extraordinary case. I prefer to set aside the fact that he denied ever having spoken to Colonel Armstrong in India, and yet he remembered in great detail the decorations which Colonel Armstrong had won years earlier in France. I prefer to remember his views on the British jury system:

    Colonel Arbuthnott: [in a brief flashback] Trial by twelve good men and true... is a sound system.
