long as i can remember i've loved + +2 +00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,040 +the murder mystery genre + +3 +00:00:05,279 --> 00:00:09,280 +and this obsession began when i bought + +4 +00:00:07,040 -->

00:00:22,320 +as you can imagine whenever there's a + +11 +00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:25,279 +new screen adaptation of this story + +12 +00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,920 +i am both really really excited and also + +13 +00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,080 +absolutely terrified + +14 +00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,679 +this was only amplified when i found out + +15 +00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:36,559 +that kenneth branagh was both + +16 +00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:36,559 +directing and starring in a 2017 version + +17 +00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,719 +now with the next film death on the nile + +18 +00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,719 +only a week away from release i think + +19 +00:00:40,719 --> 00:00:46,690 +it's finally time for me to explain + +20 +00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:56,539 +why i believe this was a bad book + +21 +00:00:46,690 --> 00:00:56,539 +[Music] + +22 +00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,840 +adaptation + +23 +00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,079 +[Music] + +24 +00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,720 +as i've already said this film was + +25 +00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,840 +directed by and stars kenneth branagh + +26 +00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 +now if you don't know who kenneth + +27 +00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,799 +branagh is he kind of formed his own + +28 +00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,039 +little niche for himself + +29 +00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,960 +of directing and starring in shakespeare + +30 +00:01:17,039 --> 00:01:21,119 +films let the doors be locked + +31 +00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:22,720 +i've always been in two minds about this + +32 +00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:24,640 +on one hand it always seemed a bit + +33 +00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,000 +egotistical to me like no one else + +34 +00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:28,320 +wanted to hire him so he just + +35 +00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,560 +thought he'd do it himself yeah i'm + +36 +00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:32,880 +gonna go direct my own movie + +37 +00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,720 +where's me playing the main character on + +38 +00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,479 +the other hand i really respect that he + +39 +00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,920 +gets to play the most interesting + +40 +00:01:36,479 --> 00:01:40,000 +complex and of course + +41 +00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,000 +famous characters but there are i + +42 +00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,000 +imagine this is what motivated him to + +43 +00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,360 +take on the character of puero so agatha + +44 +00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,280 +christie she's after + +45 +00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,399 +the the bible in shakespeare she's the + +46 +00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,320 +most read author in + +47 +00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:52,720 +on the entire planet that's pretty + +48 +00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,720 +impressive but unfortunately unlike with + +49 +00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,880 +shakespeare i just don't think he + +50 +00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:59,280 +understands the murder mystery genre + +51 +00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:01,200 +and he just really doesn't understand + +52 +00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:04,079 +the character of puero + +53 +00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,640 +i think christie i think has real relish + +54 +00:02:04,079 --> 00:02:07,200 +in + +55 +00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,680 +storytelling murder on the oint express + +56 +00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,679 +is a + +57 +00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,440 +relatively short book without much of a + +58 +00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:14,080 +way of extraneous detail + +59 +00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,680 +this makes it perfect for adaptation as + +60 +00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,440 +a screenwriter gets to take + +61 +00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,920 +lots of creative liberties within the + +62 +00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:22,079 +story among the countless adaptations + +63 +00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:23,920 +there was a version in 2010 starring + +64 +00:02:22,079 --> 00:02:26,000 +david suche who played the character of + +65 +00:02:23,920 --> 00:02:28,319 +poirot for over two decades + +66 +00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,319 +now this version to me is the perfect + +67 +00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:33,760 +example of how to do this story + +68 +00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:35,040 +yes it is incredibly dark and moody and + +69 +00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,879 +frankly depressing + +70 +00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,040 +but when you know the context of the + +71 +00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:41,920 +story that is entirely appropriate + +72 +00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,400 +takes the story to a very dark place i + +73 +00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,720 +think + +74 +00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:46,800 +it makes the story compelling engaging + +75 +00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,000 +and all together it makes it a brilliant + +76 +00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,000 +adaptation + +77 +00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,920 +they also allow david suchet to explore + +78 +00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,680 +the moral quandaries that puerto is + +79 +00:02:51,920 --> 00:02:55,680 +experiencing in this case + +80 +00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,360 +something that branagh wants to deal + +81 +00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,120 +with but really struggles to + +82 +00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,440 +i think partly due to the fact that he + +83 +00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,200 +chose to make this film a comedy + +84 +00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,800 +now if you're watching this video i'm + +85 +00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,720 +going to presume it means that you + +86 +00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,239 +already know the ending of the story + +87 +00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,159 +because you've either read the book or + +88 +00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:11,840 +watched one of the adaptations + +89 +00:03:10,159 --> 00:03:13,599 +but i'm going to quickly run through the + +90 +00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,519 +story in case you haven't seen it in a + +91 +00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:17,360 +while or want a refresher + +92 +00:03:15,519 --> 00:03:19,120 +the story begins with pyro having + +93 +00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,280 +finished a case in a foreign country + +94 +00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,280 +he's waiting at a train station about to + +95 +00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,959 +go on holiday for a few days + +96 +00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,040 +however once he gets to his next + +97 +00:03:24,959 --> 00:03:28,799 +destination he is informed that he has + +98 +00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,640 +to return back to england + +99 +00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:32,720 +so he wants to travel that night on the + +100 +00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:34,319 +orient express it turns out that the + +101 +00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,400 +train is fully booked + +102 +00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,680 +however luckily for paro he knows the + +103 +00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,000 +conductor of the line + +104 +00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,440 +and they managed to get him on board + +105 +00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,519 +whilst on the train he meets + +106 +00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,799 +multiple characters including a man + +107 +00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:47,599 +called ratchet + +108 +00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:48,799 +now ratchet is very shady and asks pari + +109 +00:03:47,599 --> 00:03:50,720 +to be his bodyguard + +110 +00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:52,640 +because he fears for his life para + +111 +00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,120 +declines and during that night + +112 +00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:57,200 +ratchet is killed also during the night + +113 +00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,680 +the train is hit by a snowstorm meaning + +114 +00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,680 +that all the passengers are stranded + +115 +00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,080 +and the killer could not get off the + +116 +00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720 +train pari quickly discovers that + +117 +00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,120 +ratchet + +118 +00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,519 +was actually a kidnapper called cassetti + +119 +00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,439 +who kidnapped and killed a young child + +120 +00:04:09,519 --> 00:04:14,000 +called daisy armstrong a few years + +121 +00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:15,920 +earlier as his interviews continue he + +122 +00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,600 +discovers that everyone on the train + +123 +00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,680 +actually has a link to the armstrong + +124 +00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,839 +family whether being employed by them or + +125 +00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,520 +being a personal friend + +126 +00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,840 +this then eventually leads him to + +127 +00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:28,240 +conclude that everyone on the train took + +128 +00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:31,120 +it upon themselves to murder cassetti + +129 +00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,120 +as 12 members of the jury finally taking + +130 +00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,759 +what they saw as just revenge + +131 +00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,680 +on cassetti now in the book this is + +132 +00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:39,520 +where the story pretty much just ends + +133 +00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,720 +we don't really find out what baro does + +134 +00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,800 +with this information + +135 +00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,960 +it just stops there however most + +136 +00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,880 +adaptations decide to carry on the story + +137 +00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,840 +in order to show us puero dealing with + +138 +00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,680 +this information + +139 +00:04:47,840 --> 00:04:51,840 +and deciding what he's going to do with + +140 +00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,600 +it okay now that we've recapped the + +141 +00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:54,479 +story i think it's finally time to get + +142 +00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,199 +into the film + +143 +00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:58,560 +and why i believe it is not a good book + +144 +00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:00,240 +adaptation + +145 +00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,919 +now although i'm talking about kenneth + +146 +00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,720 +branagh's film i do want to make some + +147 +00:05:01,919 --> 00:05:06,880 +references back to the 2010 adaptation + +148 +00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,800 +most notably how the two films begin and + +149 +00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,199 +what that tells us about the different + +150 +00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,720 +attitudes that the directors had + +151 +00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:17,440 +no lieutenant you lie + +152 +00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,440 +to bravo in david sushay's version we + +153 +00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,520 +begin with a close-up on someone's eyes + +154 +00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,280 +as pueri berates him for allowing + +155 +00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,360 +someone to die + +156 +00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:27,680 +this man then kills himself in front of + +157 +00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,600 +puerto and yet juarez still doesn't back + +158 +00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,840 +down or think he did anything wrong + +159 +00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,199 +a man like your friend lieutenant always + +160 +00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,360 +has choice + +161 +00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:37,919 +and it was his choice to lie that + +162 +00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,600 +brought him into difficulty with the law + +163 +00:05:37,919 --> 00:05:41,919 +this shows us a few things + +164 +00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,919 +one that pueri views everything as black + +165 +00:05:41,919 --> 00:05:44,479 +and white you are either guilty or not + +166 +00:05:43,919 --> 00:05:46,240 +guilty + +167 +00:05:44,479 --> 00:05:48,560 +and even though this man didn't murder + +168 +00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,080 +someone his negligence did lead to a + +169 +00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,720 +death and therefore he should be + +170 +00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,120 +punished + +171 +00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,479 +it also displays puero's hatred for + +172 +00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,560 +someone lying to him + +173 +00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:58,800 +and how furious that makes him this + +174 +00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,440 +comes up a lot at the end of the film + +175 +00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,560 +but most importantly we see the focus is + +176 +00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,240 +on characters + +177 +00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,000 +these close-up shots happen throughout + +178 +00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,440 +the film and really allow us to get + +179 +00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,919 +into the heads of what people are + +180 +00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,000 +thinking and feeling at any point + +181 +00:06:09,919 --> 00:06:13,440 +rana on the other hand begins the film + +182 +00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,919 +with a sweeping shot + +183 +00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:18,000 +of jerusalem this demonstrates not only + +184 +00:06:15,919 --> 00:06:18,560 +the film's higher budget but also the + +185 +00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,800 +focus + +186 +00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,360 +on aesthetics for our film there is + +187 +00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,080 +beautiful scenery large crowds and of + +188 +00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,880 +course + +189 +00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,800 +very famous people this of course makes + +190 +00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,120 +sense for a hollywood blockbuster and is + +191 +00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,080 +part of a reason why it was successful + +192 +00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:36,000 +due to the names tied to it however + +193 +00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,520 +without this focus on characters that + +194 +00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,680 +sushe's version has + +195 +00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,360 +everything just ends up feeling a little + +196 +00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,680 +bit shallow + +197 +00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,360 +this opening scene is technically not in + +198 +00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,039 +the book the book only gives a very + +199 +00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,000 +broad strokes about the incident but + +200 +00:06:47,039 --> 00:06:50,240 +puerio was sorting + +201 +00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:52,159 +out this means that a screenwriter gets + +202 +00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,880 +to take whatever creative liberties they + +203 +00:06:52,159 --> 00:06:54,800 +like + +204 +00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,199 +but what is most important from this + +205 +00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,560 +opening scene is for we know who paro is + +206 +00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:01,039 +and what he stands for + +207 +00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,039 +however unlike in the 2010 version this + +208 +00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:05,120 +isn't really what brana does + +209 +00:07:03,039 --> 00:07:07,280 +what we do see is branagh seriously + +210 +00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:10,400 +leaning in to paris character trait + +211 +00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:11,919 +of ocd-like tendencies and these lead to + +212 +00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,800 +his view of right and wrong + +213 +00:07:11,919 --> 00:07:16,960 +things being in balance i can only see + +214 +00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,120 +the world as it should be + +215 +00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,479 +and when it is not the imperfection + +216 +00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,960 +stands out like + +217 +00:07:20,479 --> 00:07:28,160 +the nose in the middle of the face it + +218 +00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,880 +it makes most of life unbearable but it + +219 +00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,440 +is useful + +220 +00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,440 +in the detection of crime now of course + +221 +00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,400 +this is one of puerto's classic + +222 +00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,240 +character traits + +223 +00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,000 +but it does mean that the decision he + +224 +00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,680 +makes at the end of the story holds + +225 +00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,240 +little weight when really all it comes + +226 +00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,319 +down to + +227 +00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:44,319 +is him wanting things to be in balance + +228 +00:07:42,319 --> 00:07:46,319 +because that's how he likes it + +229 +00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:48,159 +rather than the 2010 version where + +230 +00:07:46,319 --> 00:07:48,879 +puerto is dealing with his own religious + +231 +00:07:48,159 --> 00:07:51,840 +beliefs + +232 +00:07:48,879 --> 00:07:53,599 +and how that ties to his moral decisions + +233 +00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,520 +this is particularly frustrating because + +234 +00:07:53,599 --> 00:07:57,520 +branagh does make a big point about + +235 +00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,960 +wanting to focus on his moral dilemma + +236 +00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:02,639 +that pueri faces + +237 +00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:06,160 +it carries a much more grey + +238 +00:08:02,639 --> 00:08:07,360 +area of moral complexity and it just + +239 +00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,000 +could have been set up + +240 +00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,240 +so much better in this initial scene + +241 +00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,039 +instead all we really learn about puerto + +242 +00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,879 +is that he + +243 +00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:16,639 +likes his eggs for same size has a + +244 +00:08:14,879 --> 00:08:18,479 +ridiculous mustache and + +245 +00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,479 +doesn't need his cane for walking + +246 +00:08:18,479 --> 00:08:21,199 +because he's a beast in elderly but + +247 +00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:23,440 +actually just + +248 +00:08:21,199 --> 00:08:25,440 +uses it as a weapon in fight scenes but + +249 +00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,599 +you'll see more of throughout the film + +250 +00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,039 +as the film progresses we begin to meet + +251 +00:08:27,599 --> 00:08:30,879 +our cast of characters + +252 +00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:32,159 +for the most part i'm okay with how + +253 +00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:34,240 +these are portrayed + +254 +00:08:32,159 --> 00:08:36,880 +however there are one or two who are + +255 +00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,559 +just so against the text but i find it + +256 +00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,399 +almost obnoxious + +257 +00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,559 +one of these characters is the first + +258 +00:08:40,399 --> 00:08:46,399 +person we meet mary debenham + +259 +00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:49,120 +god i am so sorry daisy but i absolutely + +260 +00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:49,760 +can't stand how this is played mary + +261 +00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,080 +debenham + +262 +00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360 +is meant to be this really tough + +263 +00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,200 +character in the book + +264 +00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,360 +who brought everyone together to commit + +265 +00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,800 +this crime however here she's just + +266 +00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,480 +sickly sweet + +267 +00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:05,120 +i know your moustache from the papers + +268 +00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,880 +everything she says is just to make you + +269 +00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,800 +love her as an audience member + +270 +00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,399 +because at the end they try to trick you + +271 +00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,440 +into thinking she may have committed + +272 +00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:13,279 +this crime alone + +273 +00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,959 +however they do a really bad job of + +274 +00:09:13,279 --> 00:09:15,600 +making me like her and instead i just + +275 +00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:18,800 +find her + +276 +00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,279 +very annoying during the scene we also + +277 +00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,320 +meet + +278 +00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:24,160 +colonel slash doctor arbuthnot now this + +279 +00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,800 +character is a combination of two from + +280 +00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,880 +the book + +281 +00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,959 +and it makes complete sense for them to + +282 +00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,680 +do this they did it as well in the 2010 + +283 +00:09:28,959 --> 00:09:31,120 +version + +284 +00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:33,120 +as in the book the character of the + +285 +00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,399 +doctor is really just there as a + +286 +00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,560 +sounding board for puero + +287 +00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:38,480 +and isn't particularly useful to the + +288 +00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:40,080 +plot therefore by combining him with + +289 +00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,440 +another character he can become + +290 +00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:45,360 +one of the 12 conspirators laro + +291 +00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,440 +we then meet book who was in charge of + +292 +00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,480 +the orient express now in this version + +293 +00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,040 +this character is an + +294 +00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,680 +absolute playboy this is a prostitute + +295 +00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,399 +she is i + +296 +00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:56,240 +am which he certainly isn't in the book + +297 +00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:56,880 +but there's no real reason why he + +298 +00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,040 +shouldn't be + +299 +00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,800 +i mean this film is meant to be a comedy + +300 +00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,800 +and honestly i feel like he goes through + +301 +00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,399 +a certain level of character development + +302 +00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,279 +than no other character displays + +303 +00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,519 +throughout the film + +304 +00:10:05,279 --> 00:10:08,800 +and i do respect that despite him being + +305 +00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:10,959 +slightly annoying + +306 +00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,880 +we see multiple people getting onto the + +307 +00:10:10,959 --> 00:10:15,920 +train and then we have + +308 +00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:18,000 +this stupid moment where the couch + +309 +00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,279 +jump kicks a guy in his face just for + +310 +00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360 +taking his picture + +311 +00:10:19,279 --> 00:10:24,000 +in order to show us that in this version + +312 +00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,120 +the count is a dancer with serious anger + +313 +00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,200 +issues + +314 +00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,040 +now in the book the count is indeed + +315 +00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,800 +protective of his wife because she's + +316 +00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:33,600 +hiding a massive secret + +317 +00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,480 +however he is not this insanely + +318 +00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,720 +aggressive + +319 +00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,800 +animalistic character as they display + +320 +00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,040 +here i do think it takes away from what + +321 +00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,279 +i always viewed as a relatively sweet + +322 +00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,680 +relationship between them + +323 +00:10:43,279 --> 00:10:47,519 +we then see paro getting onto the train + +324 +00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:49,519 +and brandon decides to use this as a + +325 +00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,959 +chance to show his directing abilities + +326 +00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:52,480 +by creating a long shot that goes + +327 +00:10:50,959 --> 00:10:54,880 +throughout the train station and then + +328 +00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,320 +along the coach as he moves to his room + +329 +00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,920 +now this must have been incredibly + +330 +00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,480 +difficult to film with multiple moving + +331 +00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,959 +parts + +332 +00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,880 +extras all the actors and characters and + +333 +00:11:00,959 --> 00:11:04,800 +i do think they did a decent job but + +334 +00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,720 +brana does say that he basically let the + +335 +00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,360 +characters improv their parts in this + +336 +00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,000 +moment + +337 +00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,800 +in order to get a natural response which + +338 +00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,640 +normally i + +339 +00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,000 +would think is a great idea however i + +340 +00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,800 +don't think the actors + +341 +00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,320 +really understood the fact that puero is + +342 +00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,399 +not meant to be on this train + +343 +00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,320 +they booked an extra compartment just to + +344 +00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:24,959 +make sure they were completely alone + +345 +00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,560 +for this murder now seeing someone else + +346 +00:11:24,959 --> 00:11:28,959 +get on the train they should be + +347 +00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:30,480 +panicked freaking out as they are in the + +348 +00:11:28,959 --> 00:11:32,240 +2010 version + +349 +00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,519 +has anyone seen who's trying to get on + +350 +00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,440 +the train + +351 +00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,279 +secretly trying to communicate with each + +352 +00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,880 +other what's happening + +353 +00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:42,959 +oh no this is what has to happen so + +354 +00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,640 +this just what is happening and as an + +355 +00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:45,200 +audience member if i didn't know the + +356 +00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,360 +twist + +357 +00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:49,360 +there would be no indication or clues + +358 +00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,959 +here that i could potentially pick up on + +359 +00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,040 +and i've always found that a bit unfair + +360 +00:11:50,959 --> 00:11:54,880 +in a murder mystery as there's no chance + +361 +00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,880 +of me figuring things out alongside the + +362 +00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,959 +detective because the characters + +363 +00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,279 +aren't acting naturally and i think this + +364 +00:11:58,959 --> 00:12:03,040 +does come down to them not having clear + +365 +00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:05,120 +enough direction + +366 +00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,240 +once on the train they settle down for a + +367 +00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,959 +meal and then + +368 +00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,920 +we meet the most egregious character + +369 +00:12:08,959 --> 00:12:12,480 +adaptation there + +370 +00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,560 +is i would prefer it's a future to be + +371 +00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:17,680 +said not with that man + +372 +00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:18,240 +like should be seated with like oh my + +373 +00:12:17,680 --> 00:12:21,760 +god + +374 +00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,639 +why is he a nazi why on earth would they + +375 +00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,639 +make him a racist nazi just so you know + +376 +00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:27,920 +you're neither an austrian nor a german + +377 +00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:30,000 +or a professor + +378 +00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,959 +this character is actually an american + +379 +00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:33,040 +private eye + +380 +00:12:30,959 --> 00:12:35,600 +in the book he goes undercover as this + +381 +00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,680 +boisterous american carpet salesman + +382 +00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,600 +but for some reason here they decide + +383 +00:12:37,680 --> 00:12:42,800 +that he should go undercover + +384 +00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,839 +as in racist nazi + +385 +00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,800 +i just i don't understand it he later on + +386 +00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:50,800 +apologizes about being racist i'm sorry + +387 +00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,120 +about the colored folks cracks + +388 +00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,240 +but like why would this character choose + +389 +00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,399 +to be anyway + +390 +00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,160 +why could he not just be german why + +391 +00:12:56,399 --> 00:13:01,360 +could he not be american + +392 +00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:03,440 +it makes it absolutely no sense + +393 +00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,639 +and the only reason it's in the script + +394 +00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,079 +is so that mary + +395 +00:13:04,639 --> 00:13:12,399 +can do this to mix your red wine + +396 +00:13:08,079 --> 00:13:12,399 +and the white would be to ruin them both + +397 +00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:22,240 +i like a good rosie again this is there + +398 +00:13:20,639 --> 00:13:24,880 +to make you like her more but + +399 +00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,160 +god do i find it annoying we then + +400 +00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,920 +properly meet ratchet + +401 +00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,560 +as he tries to ask prior to become his + +402 +00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:34,240 +bodyguard now ratchet is meant to be + +403 +00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:36,720 +creepy and old and super unnerving and i + +404 +00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,519 +guess johnny depp pulls that off but he + +405 +00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,600 +doesn't even + +406 +00:13:37,519 --> 00:13:40,800 +slightly meet the character description + +407 +00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,040 +that christy put down + +408 +00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,199 +he's meant to have a relatively bold + +409 +00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:48,480 +domed head and false teeth + +410 +00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:52,639 +this is who the 2010 version cast + +411 +00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:55,920 +what's your name why are you asking + +412 +00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:59,519 +well kelly is three days away + +413 +00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:01,120 +long trip god that is so creepy and he + +414 +00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:02,160 +fits the character's description + +415 +00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,639 +perfectly + +416 +00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,720 +however of course brana was focused on + +417 +00:14:04,639 --> 00:14:08,399 +getting the most famous people possible + +418 +00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,079 +and so we get johnny depp + +419 +00:14:08,399 --> 00:14:12,320 +and we even get mrs hubbard who is + +420 +00:14:10,079 --> 00:14:14,000 +actually lindararden the grandmother of + +421 +00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,440 +the child who this man + +422 +00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:19,440 +killed calling him hot some men have a + +423 +00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,920 +good look + +424 +00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,120 +all they have to do is keep their mouth + +425 +00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,000 +shut + +426 +00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:28,240 +okay anyway he asked prior to be his + +427 +00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:30,320 +bodyguard and para says no because + +428 +00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,480 +i do not like your face which is a + +429 +00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,399 +brilliant line from the book + +430 +00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,920 +foiro tries to tuck into bed but + +431 +00:14:34,399 --> 00:14:37,680 +unfortunately during the night there are + +432 +00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,480 +lots of knocking on doors and bells + +433 +00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,320 +going off + +434 +00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,120 +that make him wake up and stick his head + +435 +00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,199 +out now i would go over the timeline + +436 +00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,480 +in detail but honestly i feel like you + +437 +00:14:45,199 --> 00:14:48,959 +should get this from the book + +438 +00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,160 +and also branagh just doesn't really + +439 +00:14:48,959 --> 00:14:51,920 +talk about them much + +440 +00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,680 +and he certainly doesn't use them to + +441 +00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:55,360 +figure out people's alibis + +442 +00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,519 +the only thing that you really need to + +443 +00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,519 +remember is that at some point he sees a + +444 +00:14:57,519 --> 00:15:01,279 +woman in a red kimono + +445 +00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:03,199 +during the night we are also hit by a + +446 +00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,560 +massive avalanche of snow which knocks + +447 +00:15:03,199 --> 00:15:06,800 +everyone out of bed and + +448 +00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,720 +here we get a fun little continuity era + +449 +00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,920 +where twara goes to sleep without his + +450 +00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,519 +mustache holder on + +451 +00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,440 +it suddenly appears as he's falling out + +452 +00:15:11,519 --> 00:15:15,680 +of bed and then when he lands on the + +453 +00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,360 +floor it's gone again + +454 +00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,800 +anyway the next morning everyone is + +455 +00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,160 +complaining because they're not going to + +456 +00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,279 +make their connections and get where + +457 +00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,760 +they need to go + +458 +00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:24,560 +and then we finally get to the discovery + +459 +00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:28,160 +of the body + +460 +00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:31,120 +and i absolutely hate how this is filmed + +461 +00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,160 +they decide to do this god awful + +462 +00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,040 +overhead shot + +463 +00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:37,040 +which just looks terrible to me and they + +464 +00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,920 +also make it a long take even though + +465 +00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,000 +there's nothing + +466 +00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,160 +impressive about that due to the fact + +467 +00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,600 +that we can't even see their mouths move + +468 +00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,720 +we don't even know that they're getting + +469 +00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,480 +their lines right + +470 +00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,720 +in fact i'm pretty sure most of this is + +471 +00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,399 +adr in i feel if you're going to do a + +472 +00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,839 +long shot it needs to be like the one + +473 +00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:54,399 +earlier where it's actually impressive + +474 +00:15:51,839 --> 00:15:55,440 +that they did it in one take however + +475 +00:15:54,399 --> 00:15:57,680 +here the actions + +476 +00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,040 +aren't just not impressive they don't + +477 +00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,959 +make any sense + +478 +00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,959 +the doctor enters the room and without + +479 +00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:05,440 +even taking off ratchet's shirt he can + +480 +00:16:02,959 --> 00:16:06,880 +describe the wounds in detail and even + +481 +00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,240 +tell them time of death + +482 +00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,120 +within 10 seconds that's just completely + +483 +00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,320 +stupid + +484 +00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:17,040 +he was stabbed long straight edge knife + +485 +00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,639 +multiple stab wounds some shallow some + +486 +00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,759 +cut clean through muscle can you + +487 +00:16:18,639 --> 00:16:22,880 +estimate the + +488 +00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:25,360 +the time of death it's hard to say + +489 +00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:27,120 +with the window open but my best guess + +490 +00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,040 +is between midnight and two + +491 +00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,720 +now we break any sense of immersion i + +492 +00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,800 +may have had by going over the top of + +493 +00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,279 +the wall into paris compartment + +494 +00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,959 +making it painfully clear that we are on + +495 +00:16:35,279 --> 00:16:39,360 +a set and not at all + +496 +00:16:36,959 --> 00:16:41,120 +on a train book wants to convince prior + +497 +00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:44,320 +to take the case by saying this + +498 +00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,600 +you sit in a chair and you you you eat + +499 +00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,800 +your cake + +500 +00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,880 +and you think until the solution + +501 +00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,560 +presents itself and here we see brana + +502 +00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,399 +distancing himself from who the + +503 +00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,839 +character of puerto is meant to be by + +504 +00:16:52,399 --> 00:16:54,959 +saying this you think that is what i do + +505 +00:16:53,839 --> 00:16:56,000 +i sit in the chair and i have a little + +506 +00:16:54,959 --> 00:16:57,279 +piece of cake and then they come up with + +507 +00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000 +a question + +508 +00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,480 +if you know puero you know that how he + +509 +00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,279 +worked + +510 +00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,480 +is by sitting back thinking using his + +511 +00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:06,720 +little grey cells + +512 +00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,119 +eating some cake and using the + +513 +00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,280 +psychology to solve the case + +514 +00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,559 +with this line branner is clearly saying + +515 +00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,799 +that's not who he's playing + +516 +00:17:12,559 --> 00:17:16,880 +because he wants to make paro an action + +517 +00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:18,000 +star and i just don't understand why + +518 +00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,599 +he'd choose to play + +519 +00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,520 +the character of puerto when he clearly + +520 +00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,799 +doesn't like the character of puero + +521 +00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,720 +because he doesn't like his + +522 +00:17:22,799 --> 00:17:26,079 +introspective nature + +523 +00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,919 +and now we're on to the interview part + +524 +00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,240 +of a film we start with mcqueen who we + +525 +00:17:27,919 --> 00:17:29,919 +learn + +526 +00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,919 +is a drunk is this really the time for + +527 +00:17:29,919 --> 00:17:33,440 +drinking and also the ratchet was + +528 +00:17:31,919 --> 00:17:35,200 +getting some threatening letters + +529 +00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,039 +we then go back to see the body and + +530 +00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,160 +brianna gets the most out of his set by + +531 +00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:40,799 +using the same + +532 +00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,640 +awful overhead shot he finds a pipe + +533 +00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,160 +cleaner and a handkerchief on the floor + +534 +00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,240 +and in the book these are really + +535 +00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,840 +important clues and he asks to everyone + +536 +00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,000 +he interviews about them + +537 +00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,760 +but again in this version we don't + +538 +00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,280 +really see prairie figuring things out + +539 +00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,200 +instead he doesn't really bring them up + +540 +00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,840 +until he knows who they actually belong + +541 +00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840 +to + +542 +00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,679 +but one important clue we do find though + +543 +00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:02,080 +is a burnt up piece of paper + +544 +00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:04,160 +now as in the book he takes his paper + +545 +00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,080 +and sets it alight so that the ink + +546 +00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,640 +shines through for just a moment + +547 +00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:10,000 +in the book this message reads daisy + +548 +00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,640 +armstrong which is + +549 +00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,600 +incredibly on the nose and i've never + +550 +00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,080 +really liked that + +551 +00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,840 +in the 2010 version it reads easy arms + +552 +00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,360 +meaning that poirot needs a bit of time + +553 +00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,679 +to figure out what that could possibly + +554 +00:18:19,360 --> 00:18:22,160 +mean + +555 +00:18:19,679 --> 00:18:23,360 +until he finally makes the link here we + +556 +00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,000 +get this kind of long + +557 +00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:26,799 +cryptic message which is an interesting + +558 +00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:30,080 +decision + +559 +00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:31,039 +however puerto immediately knows exactly + +560 +00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,960 +what it means + +561 +00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:34,799 +i know the dead man's real name which + +562 +00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,799 +doesn't really make sense to me because + +563 +00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:38,640 +if it's going to be that obvious to him + +564 +00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:39,679 +it may as well have just said daisy + +565 +00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,520 +armstrong + +566 +00:18:39,679 --> 00:18:43,280 +even pueri would have needed a few + +567 +00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:45,280 +minutes of sitting back and thinking + +568 +00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320 +in order to figure this out he wouldn't + +569 +00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,880 +have just been able to + +570 +00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,559 +magically know it immediately however of + +571 +00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,720 +course brannan doesn't want to show + +572 +00:18:50,559 --> 00:18:54,640 +prior thinking so instead we just + +573 +00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,360 +know what it means immediately as well + +574 +00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:59,840 +just straight up said daisy armstrong + +575 +00:18:57,360 --> 00:19:01,679 +so puero now knows that ratchet is + +576 +00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,720 +actually cassetti and the first person + +577 +00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:04,960 +he mentions this to + +578 +00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,840 +is mrs hubbard when she comes in in a + +579 +00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,760 +frantic state + +580 +00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,520 +saying that someone was in her room last + +581 +00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,600 +night once more this is + +582 +00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,600 +super important in the book but in the + +583 +00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,480 +film i honestly don't think it's brought + +584 +00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,000 +up again + +585 +00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,840 +it's just kind of a nod to the fact that + +586 +00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,679 +mrs hubbard says it in the book and + +587 +00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,080 +an opportunity for prior to gain another + +588 +00:19:19,679 --> 00:19:24,160 +piece of evidence the conductor's button + +589 +00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,919 +he then interviews masterman and this + +590 +00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 +character is played completely fine + +591 +00:19:25,919 --> 00:19:28,240 +although + +592 +00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,799 +for some reason they decide to give him + +593 +00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,559 +cancer in the book he just has a regular + +594 +00:19:30,799 --> 00:19:33,600 +old two fake but i guess they thought it + +595 +00:19:32,559 --> 00:19:36,559 +would give us some + +596 +00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,080 +emotional depth if he had cancer i'm + +597 +00:19:36,559 --> 00:19:39,919 +sorry about the toothache + +598 +00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,200 +but i don't see why we as an audience + +599 +00:19:39,919 --> 00:19:44,080 +should care but + +600 +00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,200 +sure why not we then get an intercut of + +601 +00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,880 +free interviews just + +602 +00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,440 +mashed together of the nazi vasquez + +603 +00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,000 +and pilar now in the book pilar is + +604 +00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,320 +described + +605 +00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,840 +as a sheep-faced swedish woman but of + +606 +00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,679 +course that description wouldn't have + +607 +00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,640 +aligned with very attractive and + +608 +00:19:57,679 --> 00:20:01,120 +more importantly very famous penelope + +609 +00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,039 +cruz + +610 +00:20:01,120 --> 00:20:04,159 +and therefore they shifted it in order + +611 +00:20:03,039 --> 00:20:06,320 +to fit her character + +612 +00:20:04,159 --> 00:20:08,559 +and gave her a new name her character + +613 +00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,960 +traits are relatively similar other than + +614 +00:20:08,559 --> 00:20:11,039 +this + +615 +00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,240 +weird violent streak they chose to give + +616 +00:20:11,039 --> 00:20:14,960 +her + +617 +00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,120 +so i suppose on the whole it's fine he + +618 +00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,760 +then interviews mary outside and it's + +619 +00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,919 +just so + +620 +00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,600 +obviously an excuse to get an aesthetic + +621 +00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:23,280 +shot of them out in the snow + +622 +00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,640 +she just sits there all smug doesn't + +623 +00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,280 +answer his questions + +624 +00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,520 +no progress is really made then he goes + +625 +00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,320 +back inside to interview hildegard and + +626 +00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,400 +schmidt + +627 +00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:34,080 +and we discover our first tangible link + +628 +00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:37,200 +to the armstrong family + +629 +00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:39,600 +daisy was my girl daughter now i + +630 +00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,360 +love olivia coleman but i am sure that + +631 +00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,400 +she was only cast in this film + +632 +00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:44,960 +because she's olivia coleman she acts it + +633 +00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,960 +great + +634 +00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,480 +and i guess she's probably doing the + +635 +00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:52,480 +accent well probably your excellence + +636 +00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,400 +but i just keep on hearing her british + +637 +00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,480 +voice coming through so + +638 +00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,400 +i don't know schmidt reveals that she + +639 +00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,400 +saw a conductor out last night and it + +640 +00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,919 +wasn't the one we know michelle + +641 +00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,600 +therefore they go running around the + +642 +00:21:01,919 --> 00:21:05,440 +train and look through everyone's + +643 +00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,480 +suitcases to see if they can find the + +644 +00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,200 +conductor's outfit + +645 +00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,440 +and also the red kimono they soon find + +646 +00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:13,440 +the red kimono in puerto suitcase + +647 +00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:16,000 +and the conductor's outfit in schmidt's + +648 +00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,840 +room they smell the outfit and see that + +649 +00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,360 +it smells like alcohol and if you + +650 +00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,919 +remember earlier they gave us that + +651 +00:21:19,360 --> 00:21:22,400 +little + +652 +00:21:19,919 --> 00:21:24,799 +nudge about mcqueen being an alcoholic + +653 +00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,240 +so i guess this is the payoff for that + +654 +00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:27,840 +they go through some financials and + +655 +00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,559 +discover mcqueen was stealing from + +656 +00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,480 +ratchet + +657 +00:21:28,559 --> 00:21:31,760 +somehow mcqueen knows they're doing this + +658 +00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,440 +and decides to just + +659 +00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,440 +start running for no reason + +660 +00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,120 +like he burns some papers i guess but + +661 +00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,960 +there's nowhere he can go to + +662 +00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:42,480 +and it's just such a bizarre thing for + +663 +00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:44,640 +his character to do + +664 +00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,720 +the only reason it is in this film is + +665 +00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,559 +that brano wanted another action scene + +666 +00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,240 +where he gets to run around and jump + +667 +00:21:48,559 --> 00:21:52,640 +even though he's meant to be playing an + +668 +00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,640 +elderly man who walks with a cane + +669 +00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,799 +apparently he doesn't even get hurt when + +670 +00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,600 +he falls several feet onto planks of + +671 +00:21:56,799 --> 00:21:59,679 +wood + +672 +00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,600 +to prove that chase scene was entirely + +673 +00:21:59,679 --> 00:22:02,240 +pointless as soon as we get back on the + +674 +00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,080 +train + +675 +00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,919 +our buff knock comes in and gives him an + +676 +00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,240 +alibi so it was just an + +677 +00:22:05,919 --> 00:22:10,400 +absolute waste of our time their + +678 +00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,520 +interrogation is then cut off because + +679 +00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:15,840 +mrs hubbard is literally stabbed in the + +680 +00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,600 +back + +681 +00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:21,039 +what this makes no sense for them to do + +682 +00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,960 +any chance of them saying that the + +683 +00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,159 +killer has left the train has just gone + +684 +00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,880 +out the window + +685 +00:22:24,159 --> 00:22:27,840 +which by the way is where the killer was + +686 +00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,000 +meant to have gone + +687 +00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:31,600 +in the book they don't even mention that + +688 +00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,840 +possibility in the film + +689 +00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,919 +thistle makes it near impossible for + +690 +00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,880 +their fake story to be believed at the + +691 +00:22:35,919 --> 00:22:40,000 +end of a film + +692 +00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:42,960 +no no no no no it doesn't + +693 +00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,720 +work or stabs mrs hubbard so it's + +694 +00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,559 +completely illogical for these + +695 +00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,400 +characters to have done this + +696 +00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:50,400 +and once more is only there to get a bit + +697 +00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,840 +more action and a bit more blood in the + +698 +00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,600 +film + +699 +00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,960 +pyro then interviews the count and + +700 +00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,960 +countess and pretty much + +701 +00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,200 +immediately discovers that the countess + +702 +00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:02,159 +is the sister + +703 +00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,840 +of sonia armstrong how does he figure it + +704 +00:23:02,159 --> 00:23:05,360 +out well it's because she said she's + +705 +00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,280 +good at geography i'm particularly good + +706 +00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,320 +at capitals my governance was a stickler + +707 +00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:10,480 +for geography + +708 +00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,480 +and earlier in the film mary said she + +709 +00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,080 +was a governess who taught geography + +710 +00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,360 +i always begin them with geography and + +711 +00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080 +monster them till they have the world + +712 +00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,720 +down cold + +713 +00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:20,400 +even though we have had no indication + +714 +00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,760 +that mary was for governess + +715 +00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,039 +for the armstrong family oh this makes + +716 +00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,960 +no sense + +717 +00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:28,720 +i'm also not even going to get into how + +718 +00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,679 +dirty they did the character of helena + +719 +00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,120 +armstrong here + +720 +00:23:29,679 --> 00:23:32,799 +let's just say she's meant to be using + +721 +00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:33,280 +the acting skills inherited from her + +722 +00:23:32,799 --> 00:23:35,280 +mother + +723 +00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,960 +to pretend to be a foreign diplomat + +724 +00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:41,919 +she's not meant to be + +725 +00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:45,120 +a drug addled mess addicted to bentos + +726 +00:23:41,919 --> 00:23:47,679 +oh it's so stupid + +727 +00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,679 +anyway the nazi now admits that he's + +728 +00:23:47,679 --> 00:23:50,799 +actually a man called hardman and as the + +729 +00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:53,279 +private eye + +730 +00:23:50,799 --> 00:23:54,880 +great we also then quickly find out + +731 +00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,240 +something that as an audience member + +732 +00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,360 +would have no way of knowing + +733 +00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:02,080 +you were in fact a policeman first okay + +734 +00:23:59,360 --> 00:24:04,400 +whatever prior then has another lovely + +735 +00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,559 +aesthetic shot of him interviewing mary + +736 +00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:08,400 +once more and he gets mary to read out + +737 +00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:09,200 +the 10 questions which are actually in + +738 +00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,480 +the book + +739 +00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:16,320 +the handkerchief the pipe cleaner + +740 +00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:19,440 +the scarlet kimono the uniform + +741 +00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:20,640 +the time on the watch was he murdered + +742 +00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:25,360 +then + +743 +00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:27,520 +earlier or later by one person or more + +744 +00:24:25,360 --> 00:24:29,360 +which of them however they don't try to + +745 +00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,360 +answer them here they just kind of throw + +746 +00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:32,240 +them out there to show that brana did + +747 +00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:34,640 +read the book + +748 +00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,159 +even if he kind of just disregarded it + +749 +00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,640 +when writing the screenplay + +750 +00:24:36,159 --> 00:24:40,480 +juaro then accuses mary of having + +751 +00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,240 +committed this crime by herself + +752 +00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:44,720 +miss stephnam you planned ratchet's + +753 +00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,760 +murder and at first i thought this was + +754 +00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,679 +meant to be some + +755 +00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,120 +weird fake out but he was trying to get + +756 +00:24:47,679 --> 00:24:51,840 +mary to admit something + +757 +00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:52,400 +but he never says that at any point and + +758 +00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,240 +it's never + +759 +00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,679 +shown that that's what he's doing so + +760 +00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,360 +instead i'm left to believe that he + +761 +00:24:55,679 --> 00:24:58,880 +actually did believe that she committed + +762 +00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:01,520 +this crime by herself + +763 +00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,279 +which makes zero sense there's barely + +764 +00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,760 +any evidence suggesting it and + +765 +00:25:03,279 --> 00:25:06,480 +plenty to show that it wasn't just her + +766 +00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,400 +parrot + +767 +00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,080 +just wouldn't ever think this this is + +768 +00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,039 +just a fake out for the sake of the + +769 +00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,120 +audience + +770 +00:25:11,039 --> 00:25:15,440 +however it doesn't matter anyway because + +771 +00:25:13,120 --> 00:25:16,080 +once more our deus ex machina of our + +772 +00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:20,559 +buff knot + +773 +00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:23,360 +shows up and shoots fuero + +774 +00:25:20,559 --> 00:25:23,840 +what the hell is he doing they get into + +775 +00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:26,559 +this + +776 +00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,120 +stupid fight scene in which above not + +777 +00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:30,480 +says + +778 +00:25:27,120 --> 00:25:32,559 +why aren't you dead yet even though + +779 +00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,840 +later on paris says that he knows that + +780 +00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:36,159 +our buffnut didn't actually + +781 +00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,360 +really want to kill him in which case + +782 +00:25:36,159 --> 00:25:40,000 +why did he do + +783 +00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,640 +any of this why not just come out and + +784 +00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,360 +say + +785 +00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:45,600 +oh no it wasn't mary it was me and i'm + +786 +00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:48,880 +admitting it in order to protect her + +787 +00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:51,200 +why did you have to try to kill him now + +788 +00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,919 +even though 20 seconds ago para was + +789 +00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,640 +sitting there + +790 +00:25:51,919 --> 00:25:55,200 +accusing mary of having killed ratchet + +791 +00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,200 +now + +792 +00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,919 +he apparently knows but it wasn't just + +793 +00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:02,799 +her and has realized that it was + +794 +00:25:59,919 --> 00:26:04,559 +all 12 people on the train we then find + +795 +00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:04,880 +out how the murder was committed and + +796 +00:26:04,559 --> 00:26:07,120 +it's + +797 +00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,799 +pretty similar to in the book but there + +798 +00:26:07,120 --> 00:26:09,679 +are one or two things i just want to + +799 +00:26:08,799 --> 00:26:11,679 +point out + +800 +00:26:09,679 --> 00:26:13,679 +one point is the events that happen + +801 +00:26:11,679 --> 00:26:14,480 +during the night are all done for paris + +802 +00:26:13,679 --> 00:26:16,400 +benefits + +803 +00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,840 +so they want him to wake up and stick + +804 +00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,799 +his head out and see the things they're + +805 +00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,039 +trying to show him + +806 +00:26:18,799 --> 00:26:23,039 +in order to mislead him now keep that in + +807 +00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,799 +mind and then see what the problem is + +808 +00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:27,120 +with this moment + +809 +00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:28,000 +do you notice it michelle is going down + +810 +00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,159 +the corridor + +811 +00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,279 +knocking on all the doors we've seen + +812 +00:26:30,159 --> 00:26:33,520 +puerto wake + +813 +00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:35,760 +up to sound smaller than this throughout + +814 +00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,600 +the night in fact they wanted him to + +815 +00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:40,080 +but now michelle is just going around + +816 +00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:42,640 +making noise and i guess they just got + +817 +00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:44,640 +lucky that pueri didn't wake up we also + +818 +00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:47,120 +see that when they stab ratchet + +819 +00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,480 +he is very clearly able to cry out + +820 +00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,799 +something that he shouldn't be able to + +821 +00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,039 +do + +822 +00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:52,799 +due to the drugs they gave him this one + +823 +00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:54,240 +little shot of them covering his mouth + +824 +00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:56,159 +as he tries to scream out + +825 +00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,919 +goes against the idea that they drugged + +826 +00:26:56,159 --> 00:26:59,200 +and paralyzed him which is what they + +827 +00:26:57,919 --> 00:27:01,360 +were meant to have done + +828 +00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,520 +however the most egregious problem is + +829 +00:27:01,360 --> 00:27:04,960 +the kimono shot which is so clearly + +830 +00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,159 +different to the one they showed us + +831 +00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,159 +earlier in the film + +832 +00:27:06,159 --> 00:27:09,919 +the issue with it is that poirot would + +833 +00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:11,840 +have been able to see her face + +834 +00:27:09,919 --> 00:27:14,159 +and i realized this straight away whilst + +835 +00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,600 +watching i'm not sure why they chose to + +836 +00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:17,279 +have her turn around but it just + +837 +00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,279 +bothered me that it was another example + +838 +00:27:17,279 --> 00:27:20,080 +of rana putting aesthetics and things + +839 +00:27:19,279 --> 00:27:22,960 +looking cool + +840 +00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,559 +over it actually making sense now as i + +841 +00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,399 +said the book pretty much just ends + +842 +00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:28,399 +after we discover all the facts + +843 +00:27:26,399 --> 00:27:30,399 +but rana obviously chooses not to in + +844 +00:27:28,399 --> 00:27:32,559 +order to give us a more impactful ending + +845 +00:27:30,399 --> 00:27:34,799 +and i actually really like the choice he + +846 +00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:36,559 +made here he wants to discover + +847 +00:27:34,799 --> 00:27:38,559 +whether or not these people are truly + +848 +00:27:36,559 --> 00:27:40,240 +killers so he tells them that the only + +849 +00:27:38,559 --> 00:27:42,000 +way they're going to get away with it is + +850 +00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,640 +if they shoot him and he gives them a + +851 +00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,640 +gun + +852 +00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,039 +mrs hubbard instead tries to kill + +853 +00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:50,159 +herself the gun isn't loaded + +854 +00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:53,440 +it's a really nice moment unfortunately + +855 +00:27:50,159 --> 00:27:54,559 +the film doesn't end there and instead + +856 +00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,960 +we are treated to + +857 +00:27:54,559 --> 00:27:58,240 +another boring long shot of him walking + +858 +00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,880 +down a corridor for + +859 +00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:02,000 +well over a minute and over the top of + +860 +00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,480 +it there is a really + +861 +00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,159 +out of place narration of him writing a + +862 +00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:10,399 +letter to carl armstrong + +863 +00:28:06,159 --> 00:28:10,399 +my dear colonel armstrong + +864 +00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:16,080 +finally i can answer your letter as well + +865 +00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:16,559 +we just finished a nancy drew game dear + +866 +00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,080 +ned + +867 +00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:19,840 +i know you'll be home from school in a + +868 +00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,480 +couple of days but i couldn't wait to + +869 +00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,640 +tell you + +870 +00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,399 +i just solved a mystery i just find this + +871 +00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,720 +really silly and it takes away from any + +872 +00:28:24,399 --> 00:28:28,080 +excitement or emotion that i had built + +873 +00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,679 +up in the last scene + +874 +00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,960 +he tells everyone that he didn't tell + +875 +00:28:29,679 --> 00:28:32,399 +the police and they're just going to + +876 +00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,120 +have to learn to live with what they've + +877 +00:28:32,399 --> 00:28:35,840 +done which + +878 +00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,440 +you know they already knew that so it's + +879 +00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,640 +a bit of a pointless monologue + +880 +00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:42,480 +there are no killers here only people + +881 +00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,480 +who deserve a chance to heal + +882 +00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,480 +i want to quickly refer back to the 2010 + +883 +00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,120 +version to show you how they decided to + +884 +00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,600 +end it + +885 +00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,360 +now in this version they have been 24 + +886 +00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,880 +hours without heat on this train + +887 +00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,279 +so they are both physically and + +888 +00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,039 +emotionally wrought puerto is at the end + +889 +00:28:55,279 --> 00:28:59,200 +of his rope having been lied to and + +890 +00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,919 +manipulated the entire time he's been on + +891 +00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:04,240 +the train + +892 +00:28:59,919 --> 00:29:07,679 +and he is furious no it is medieval + +893 +00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:09,760 +the rule of law it must be held high + +894 +00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:11,440 +and if it falls you pick it up and hold + +895 +00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,919 +it even higher + +896 +00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,360 +for all society all civilized people + +897 +00:29:13,919 --> 00:29:17,200 +will have + +898 +00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,279 +nothing to shelter them if it is + +899 +00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,399 +destroyed it's a higher + +900 +00:29:19,279 --> 00:29:25,039 +justice than the rule of law can you let + +901 +00:29:22,399 --> 00:29:26,640 +god administering not you + +902 +00:29:25,039 --> 00:29:28,799 +the foreshadowing at the beginning of + +903 +00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:31,279 +the film finally pays off as we see + +904 +00:29:28,799 --> 00:29:33,120 +how strongly pueri believes that all + +905 +00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:35,279 +murder is murder and deserves to be + +906 +00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,799 +punished there is no excuse for it + +907 +00:29:35,279 --> 00:29:39,200 +you can't tell these people are good + +908 +00:29:36,799 --> 00:29:39,200 +people + +909 +00:29:39,390 --> 00:29:43,679 +[Music] + +910 +00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,200 +said he deserved to be executed for what + +911 +00:29:43,679 --> 00:29:48,399 +he did and the world knows + +912 +00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:50,399 +it was a prophecy that he was not lock + +913 +00:29:48,399 --> 00:29:52,080 +the door + +914 +00:29:50,399 --> 00:29:53,919 +however when it comes to telling the + +915 +00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:55,440 +police he actually decided to go with + +916 +00:29:53,919 --> 00:29:57,360 +their version of events + +917 +00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,120 +but someone snuck onto the train in a + +918 +00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,399 +conductor's outfit and then escaped + +919 +00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,120 +through the window when the train was + +920 +00:30:00,399 --> 00:30:02,960 +stopped + +921 +00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,159 +instead of him then having a cheesy + +922 +00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,679 +speech to them about + +923 +00:30:04,159 --> 00:30:07,200 +how they need to move on with their + +924 +00:30:05,679 --> 00:30:09,760 +lives after this event + +925 +00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:11,840 +we see him silently look back at them + +926 +00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,600 +and then walk away through the snow + +927 +00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:16,159 +whilst holding back tears + +928 +00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:18,480 +and clutching his rosary begging for + +929 +00:30:16,159 --> 00:30:20,559 +forgiveness as he's still not sure if + +930 +00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:24,320 +what he did was morally right + +931 +00:30:20,559 --> 00:30:25,120 +or not it's an incredibly powerful and + +932 +00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,760 +emotional + +933 +00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,919 +ending and this is why branagh's ending + +934 +00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,799 +was so disappointing as there was + +935 +00:30:29,919 --> 00:30:33,440 +no moral quandary there was no emotion + +936 +00:30:32,799 --> 00:30:36,080 +which he + +937 +00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,760 +claimed he really wanted to focus on i + +938 +00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,120 +think that was just lost for the sake of + +939 +00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:41,520 +comedy and a feel-good + +940 +00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:44,000 +aspect of a film or at the very least + +941 +00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,200 +their ending was in no way as impactful + +942 +00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,440 +as the virgin done + +943 +00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,200 +seven years before pyro gets off the + +944 +00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,720 +train and watches as it goes and we get + +945 +00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,480 +a little wink to the camera about the + +946 +00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000 +death on the nile adaptation there's + +947 +00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,919 +been a murder sir + +948 +00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:57,600 +right on the bloody nile and then that's + +949 +00:30:55,919 --> 00:30:59,200 +the end of the film + +950 +00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:02,000 +now i know i've rushed through this plot + +951 +00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:04,320 +but honestly so does brana + +952 +00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:06,240 +the evidence for timeline the interviews + +953 +00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,559 +he doesn't go into detail about any of + +954 +00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,799 +it + +955 +00:31:06,559 --> 00:31:10,080 +and honestly that's what makes it a bad + +956 +00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:12,240 +adaptation for me + +957 +00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:14,480 +i could forgive the weird characters for + +958 +00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,080 +changes for the sake of hollywoodizing + +959 +00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,760 +it but i can't forgive + +960 +00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,200 +them not giving the information to the + +961 +00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,960 +audience to figure it out + +962 +00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:25,760 +just for the sake of the twist no + +963 +00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:26,720 +no no no no it doesn't work the idea of + +964 +00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,279 +a mystery + +965 +00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,640 +is that we can figure it out is that the + +966 +00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:33,120 +characters act natural + +967 +00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,000 +is that the information that puerto has + +968 +00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,640 +is also + +969 +00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,200 +given to us and set down for us so that + +970 +00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,039 +we can + +971 +00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,559 +work it out and i just don't think + +972 +00:31:39,039 --> 00:31:42,640 +that's done well here + +973 +00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:44,559 +i also truly feel that brana was not + +974 +00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:46,640 +playing the character of paro + +975 +00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:49,039 +if i viewed him as another detective i + +976 +00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,200 +actually didn't mind this film too much + +977 +00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:52,320 +but
