我很喜欢看侦探小说，除了剧情紧凑之外，我也享受案件背后的真相。如果小说里的侦探非常有特色的话，我就更加喜欢了。
这部电影改编自非常著名的侦探小说之一，我相信很多喜欢阅读的人都会知道甚至读过这部小说。顺便说说，我个人是没看过，虽然我很喜欢侦探小说，不过西方的侦探小说比较少读到。这部小说已经被翻拍很多次了，可见它的知名度是一等一的。既然我没看过小说，因此我可以很客观的只是说说电影带给我的感觉。

When I finally saw the movie, I was disappointed. It was not horrible, don't get me wrong. It's just that I expected it to be more. The movie started off strong, it was fun and it really makes me like the detective. Then, somewhere along the way I started doubting my choice to like the detective. He's eccentric but not as lovable as Sherlock Holmes. Then again, it's kinda tough to be better than Robert Downey Jr.
As the movie progresses, the story gets weird. Before you continue reading, spoilers ahead! The movie starts off promising but sort of went downhill for me. Some parts of the movie felt really awkward, like the scene of the detective eating cake with Ratchett. It is just downright weird but maybe it's just a culture/time period thing.
When Ratchett was murdered, I wasn't exactly surprised since the movie already set him up as someone who had enemies. Besides that, Johnny Depp has been getting roles that were pretty much cameos. For example, Into The Woods and Fantastic Beasts. That's probably just me since I have pretty much given up watching any Johnny Depp movies (him in any main roles) since the disastrous Mortdecai.
电影一开始就介绍了主角--侦探，他是世界上最厉害的侦探，所以很多政府高官都找他来解决案件。电影开头也让我们知道了他的为人和原则，在他的世界里非黑即白，没有灰色地带，更加不能原谅一个人夺取另一个人的生命这种做法。
故事从侦探被邀请前往另一个国家办案开始，也带出了各个剧中主要人物，大略地告诉我们这些人的存在。我一开始会以为我会搞乱这些人，因为他们的名字职业什么的，但没想到我都看得很清楚。
先来说说剧情~
这是一场精心策划的火车杀人事件，在快速移动的火车密室里，有人被杀了。车上的人都陷入了恐慌，因为有人被杀意味着有杀人犯，而他们身边的人都有可能是杀人犯。侦探在没办法之下，只好接手处理这起案件。随着他的抽丝剥茧，他得到了一个惊人的结论，而这个结论也让他一直坚守的原则开始动摇，但这也是事情的全部真相。
对于剧情，我还是很满意的。火车上的每个人都隐瞒了某些事情，彼此都在演戏，希望自己不被怀疑。但侦探最厉害的地方就是从一个细微的地方发现不同之处，然后将这些异样转换成疑问或结果，再次逼问对方。各个人都看似毫无关联，其实却是息息相关，他们都为了某个目的而搭上这班火车。所有人不经意说出口的词句，都成了破案的关键。我很喜欢这种表演/呈现方式，非常出人意表，也让我更加赞叹侦探的敏锐。
电影采用的拍摄手法和镜头的运用就让我看得有点头昏脑涨了，我个人是那种喜欢看大镜头的人，并不喜欢太多的特写或是狭小的视线。但，近来的电影为了追求真实感以及带给观众更加多的临场感，都会一比一的打造摄影场景，在有限的空间里进行拍摄，火车就是其中一个非常受限制的拍摄场地。这样的完美追求是非常好的，从场景到服装道具都呈现当年的风格，我也很喜欢。可是，可以不要把镜头拉得太近吗，我看得很不舒服。
Moving on, the supposedly plot twist wasn't much of a twist because I pretty much figured they were all in it when it was time for the big reveal. The story of a group of people working together is plausible but somehow I find it a bit comical. I think it's probably because of the execution of the story. The scene where they all stabbed the victim was a bit much for me. I get that it was supposed to be dramatic but it just made me go 'really? '.
By that time, I also lost any affection towards the eccentric detective. The detective started out promising. In fact, I liked him after the first 5 minutes in the movie, then he sort of changed. He claimed there was only right and wrong, which was the first strike. Then, he rubbed me the wrong way the entire time he was on the train. I'm probably overreacting but that's just how I feel.
这部电影/小说所要交代的东西除了案件之外，还有人性。杀人犯作案的动机让侦探坚持的原则在动摇，他清楚杀人是不对的，但是动机却是让他无法反驳自己。直到最后，他还是没将杀人犯交给警察，反而编了比较让人相信的作案手法。
杀人的一定错吗？是的，一定是错的。如果他杀的是罪该万死的人，那他还是错吗？这就让很多人答不出来了。每个人都清楚知道擅自夺走一个人的生命是绝对的错，但谁也免不了对背后的动机充满好奇。当得知了真相后，我们的同理心开始让我们觉得这不是错。
我也无法理智的断定杀人犯的对错，那你呢？不妨进去电影院找找你的答案吧！

I have to say I was very disappointed with the film. I guess I'm more of a Sherlock Holmes girl. All in all, I can't say it was horrible but I really wished I had watched Coco instead.
我明白这部小说会出名的原因，它的故事剧情太过出人意料了，在那个年代是属于非常另类的剧情。要是你是一个不喜欢阅读的人，可以建议你去看看这部电影。如果你是爱书之人，那么小说应该可以让你更加投入剧情里。
