電影東方快車謀殺案英語版後感

A. 急需《東方快車殺人案》英文簡介！謝謝！

Murder on the Orient Express is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in January 1934, in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company and later in the same year under the title of Murder in the Calais Coach. The UK edition retailed at seven shillings and sixpence. The book features the Belgian detective Hercule Poirot.

The book was first serialized in the US in the Saturday Evening Post, from July 1 to September 30, 1933.

Characters
The Victim:

Mr. Ratchett, an unsavory-looking man with a dark secret.
The thirteen suspects:

Hector McQueen, a tall, handsome, young American man, the victim's secretary and translator.
Edward Henry Masterman, the victim's British valet.
Pierre Michel, the French conctor of the Calais coach.
Mary Debenham, a tall, dark, young British woman, working as a governess in Baghdad.
Colonel Arbuthnot, a tall British army officer returning from India.
Princess Natalia Dragomiroff, an elderly and very ugly Russian grande dame.
Hildegarde Schmidt, a middle-aged German woman, the Princess' lady's maid. Poirot's stragedy in her questioning is a complete contrast of Debenham's. Poirot is kind and one of the questions comes in the form of a compliment.
Count Rudolf Andrenyi, a tall, dark Hungarian diplomat with English manner and clothing, travelling to France.
Countess Helena Andrenyi, née Goldenberg, his pale young wife.
Greta Ohlsson, a middle-aged blonde Swedish missionary returning home for a vacation.
Mrs. Caroline Martha Hubbard, a plump, elderly, very excitable American returning from a visit to her daughter, a teacher in Baghdad.
Antonio Foscarelli, a portly and exuberant Italian businessman.
Cyrus Hardman, a large and gregarious Texan typewriter ribbon salesman.
Other main characters (known to the reader to be uninvolved in the crime):

The Detective - Hercule Poirot
The Director - M. Bouc
The Doctor - Dr. Constantine

Plot details
Poirot boards the Orient Express, a train which is unusually crowded for the time of year. After having dinner and retiring to his bed, M. Ratchett is murdered.

Poirot finds several clues in the victim's cabin and on board the coach, suggesting that the murderer or murderers were somewhat sloppy. However, each clue seemingly points to different suspects. Poirot soon discovers that M. Ratchett was a notorious fugitive from U.S. justice named Cassetti. Some years earlier, Cassetti had kidnapped three-year-old heiress, Daisy Armstrong. Though the Armstrong family paid a large ransom for Daisy's release, Cassetti murdered the little girl regardless and fled the country with the money. Daisy's mother, Sonia Armstrong, was pregnant when she heard of Daisy's death. Her child died prematurely. She herself died as a result of the shock. Her husband, Col. Armstrong shot himself out of grief. Daisy's maid, Susanne, was suspected by the police, despite her hysterics. She threw herself out of the window and died.

One of the crucial clues is provided by Mary who happens to travel on the same train as Poirot on the way to the Orient Express. Mary is very worried about delay on this first train, but is unconcerned when the Orient Express itself is delayed. Poirot is able to conclude that there was a preplanned meeting on the Orient Express.

As the evidence mounts, it continues to point in wildly different directions. A critical piece of missing evidence — a scarlet kimono worn the night of the murder by an unknown woman briefly witnessed in the coach corridor by Poirot and others — turns up in Poirot's own luggage. Poirot discovers that some passengers had a connection to the victim, while others a connection to the Armstrong family. After meditating on the evidence for some time, Poirot assembles the thirteen suspects, plus M. Bouc and Dr. Constantine, in the restaurant car where he lays out two possible explanations of Ratchett's murder.

(The Armstrong case was based on the actual kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh's son.)

Denouement
In the first scenario, explains Poirot, a stranger entered the train ring the previous stop at Vincovci, murdered Ratchett for reasons unknown, and escaped unnoticed. The crime occurred an hour earlier than everyone believed owing to the victim and several others failing to note that the train had just crossed time zones. The other noises heard by Poirot on the coach that evening were unrelated to the murder.

In the second scenario, Poirot explains painstakingly, all of the suspects were guilty, as there was no other way the murder could have taken place under the evidence. Poirot reveals that the other passengers, most of whom were traveling under assumed names, were in fact members of the extended Armstrong family, or had a very close tie to the family or its servants. All had been gravely wounded by Daisy's murder. They took it into their own hands to serve as Cassetti's executioners to avenge a crime the law was unable to punish. Each of the suspects stabbed Ratchett once, so that no one could know who delivered the fatal blow. Twelve of the conspirators participated to allow for a "12-person jury", with only Countess Andrenyi not participating as she would have been the most likely suspect (as Daisy's aunt). One extra berth was booked under a fictitious name (the cabin next to Ratchett was already reserved for a director of the company) so no one other than the conspirators and the victim would be on the train that night. The unexpected stoppage in the snowbank, and the fact that the carriage company had allowed the famous Poirot to sleep in the cabin that had been reserved for the fictitious person, caused complications to the conspirators that resulted in several crucial clues being left behind. As Poirot reveals the details of the elaborate plot, many of the suspects (among them Daisy's aunt and grandmother) break down in tears.

Poirot agrees to let Dr. Constantine and M.Bouc decide which of his two theories is correct. After a brief pause, both state softly that the first explanation seems far the more plausible, and is the one they will give to the police when the freed train reaches the next station. The thirteen suspects are allowed to walk free, and the true circumstances of Ratchett's death presumably remain secret forever.

Literary significance and reception
The Times Literary Supplement of January 11, 1934 outlined the plot and concluded that "The little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end."

B. 如何評價 2017 版電影《東方快車謀殺案》

對原作的改動並沒有達到進一步優化劇情的作用，也沒有有新意到足以吸引老觀眾，只能算是一次不夠忠實的復刻，其實是很令人失望的。

因為現實是《東方快車謀殺案》對於很多阿加莎粉絲來說算是自帶光環的神作，如果改劇本改得不好真的還不如不改。

簡介

對於受過英拆悉國正統戲劇訓練的那些藝術工作者，阿加莎·克里斯蒂的作品一直是取之不盡的寶藏。她於1976年去世，但至今都拿御祥有數量眾多的忠實讀者，這些人親切地稱她為「阿婆」。

在吉尼斯世界紀錄里，克里斯蒂女士是歷消搏史上最暢銷的作家，被公認為「偵探小說皇後」。其中《牧師公館謀殺案》、《東方快車謀殺案》、《三幕悲劇》、《尼羅河上的慘案》、《陽光下的罪惡》、《無人生還》、《畸形屋》、《怪鍾疑案》最為膾炙人口，保質期都很長。

C. 電影東方快車結局怎麼樣

結局就是列車上的所有人都是罪犯，強烈推薦看這個電影，有深度有思想。

《東方快車謀殺案》（Murder on the Orient Express）是英國作家阿加莎·克里斯蒂創作的偵探小說，屬於偵探赫爾克里·波洛系列，由英國柯林斯犯罪俱樂部於1934年1月1日首次出版。想必大家對阿加莎不會陌生吧，啥，你陌生，來來《尼羅河上的慘案》聽過沒，這個神作家創作出來的作品各個都是神級。

看到這里是不是很矛盾，我也矛盾。所以，波洛的哭一點都不違和，波洛是維護法律的化身，但是在這里他縱容了另一群人的犯罪。

如果換做是你，一個有真情實感，無時無刻以為自己的信仰，崇拜它膜拜它，堅持法律的純潔性，但是這件案子卻動搖了你的信仰。你又會怎樣！

所以，看到有人評價說這部電影很狗血，那是你的膚淺，實際生活中有很多的黑暗面，只不過我們處在一個相對安全的小圈子裡，自認為安全而已，沒有看到但不代表沒有發生。我不支持列車上的人動用死刑，但是我不相信法律絕對單純。

就像韓國電影《熔爐》的結局，男主放棄了之前堅持的信仰，妥協於生活。我們都是如此。
