"Detective Polo" was filmed from 1989 to 2013 and was based on the original novel by Agatha Christie, starring British actor David Suchet. David Suchet has played the role of Poirot for over twenty years, and in my opinion, he is the best Hercule Poirot. There are many longevity dramas in the UK that can be filmed for decades. I really admire grandma's logic and talent, and created a detective image that can be compared with Sherlock Holmes. Of course, the appearance is still a little worse. Like me, I am definitely more inclined to Sherlock Holmes. Of course, Polo's personality Charm is not bad. I don't know if it's because the Polo is dying, or what, the tone of ITV's Polo series is getting more and more sad, and it's not like the previous seasons have been regarded as a comedy. The last episode of "The Curtain", I just finished watching it in tears. Murder on the Orient Express, the final episode of the twelfth season of the series, is 93 minutes long, half an hour shorter than the star-studded movie version in 1974, which is, after all, a TV version, so it will definitely be shorter. Although the 1974 supporting cast was star-studded, I didn't like the slightly crooked neck of Poirot and the self-righteous impassioned exposition of the truth at the end. And this version slightly changed some details of Granny's original work. The original Lipolo didn't struggle so much. This version pulled moral justice to the opposite of law, and finally the debate between moral justice and law sublimated the film. For various reasons, a person who commits a heinous crime changes his name and surname to get away with impunity, and he lives extremely well without being punished by the law. This itself is a loophole in the law. That's why the victim's friends and family have to avenge him in their own way in the name of justice. And their revenge met Polo, who always believed in the law and justice. So what is the choice between justice and law? Even like Polo, he hated people like Cassetti emotionally, and when Cassetti asked him for help, he refused with indifference and contempt. But this didn't become a reason for him to let the twelve people go, so he kept saying "no", even if that person disgusted him, it couldn't stop him from upholding the dignity of the law. When he shouted, "The rule of law must be above everything else, and even if it is unfair, we should regain our beliefs and make them enduring. Once the legal beliefs collapse, civilized society will have no shelter." When he was so shocked, I cried. Almost came out. But is there a voice in his heart that agrees with the actions of these twelve kind people? And these twelve good people, in the name of justice, are above the law and want to impose sanctions on the heinous person, which is a personal behavior in itself. Just in this movie, that The murderer is definitely dead. Distinguishing right from wrong is the most difficult thing in the world. Everyone has their own position, everyone has three views, and everyone has a set of concepts of good and bad people. If there is no legal bottom line Guarantee, anyone can set up a private court trial, isn't this world going to be in chaos? Isn't every era of great chaos in history an era when the rule of law is constantly being challenged and destroyed? It’s as if a doctor must treat his patients equally, regardless of whether they are good or bad. Otherwise, a person’s life and death will be determined only by personal likes and dislikes. How terrible should the profession of a doctor be? At least at this stage, the law is the best means and achieves the greatest fairness. A civilized society must rely on the law to keep moving forward, otherwise it will only lead to collapse and regression. In the end, Polo chose moral justice among his struggles and struggles, but his struggle was not over. The expression on which he was about to cry was too suffocating. He held the cross and rosary in order to obtain spiritual redemption, after all he chose the opposite of his faith in law and justice, and destroyed it. Is the final ending a happy one, at least not for Polo in the film. And those twelve kind people may not make their lives really complete after revenge.
