35:15 yes, it was a test but the implication was that whoever decided to shoot Poirot was the one who needed to take the fall. Poirot lived his life that evil men must be brought to justice but because of the Armstrong case as well as Casetti evading the law, his view on justice is questioned. So Poirot was testing them to see if one of them was evil enough to be brought to justice. Since both parties are guilty (Casetti more so), he decides to break his rule and let the criminals go free as they were innocent people forced to become criminals
Normally I struggle with this ”Me reacts to a movie” while looking at it with no much of a review going on. Yours I just love, good combo of both, thanks for this!!! Greetings from Sweden
Not the last supper. The Jury. 12 people in total - Count Andrenyi (the one with the temper) took his wife's place because she couldn't go through with it and so that she'd be protected if it was discovered. 12 stab wounds. 12 people. 12 votes of guilty. They explain it a little better in the book and earlier film adaptations though.
He comes from Belgium 🇧🇪 . They had different opinions on Stalin thats not racist. In this version they combind Abrotbnot and the Doctor 👨⚕ into one charecter. In the book 📚 the Cuban is an Italian and the Spainish missionary is from Sweden 🇸🇪 . In the book 📚 Piere Michele is the father not the brother. You should watch the 1974 version to compare.
I think you might also enjoy the 70s movie. There's enough differences between this movie and that movie (it was seen to be the most accurate adaptation of the book) to keep it fresh. Agatha Christie gave her approval for the 70s movie with one exception - Poirot's moustache in that movie was too small.
It does beg the question - twice over in fact. In their situation and in Poirot's situation. What would you do? And even if we can answer that question, there's the question if we've ever actually been in that position? Can we determine if we'd act differently in a situation if we haven't lived through a situation like that?
The "Armstrong Case" was actually based on the real life Lindbergh Case, where famous pilot Charles Lindbergh lost his child due to a botched kidnapping.
Hercule Poirot is like Sherlock Holmes. A very prolific detective and VERY good at what he does. It was definitely irking hearing you constantly criticize a very beloved fictional character but had to remind myself, you clearly had no idea what you were getting yourself into. 😅 Glad you enjoyed it.
Ok, so which Agatha Christie based movie should we get next on this channel? Crooked House (2017)? Death on the Nile (2022) Endless Night (1972) - though I haven't seen that one yet so I don't know if it's any good The Mirror Crack'd (1980)? Evil Under the Sun (1982)? Witness for the Prosecution (1958)? Murder on the Orient Express (1974)? Death on the Nile (1978)? Should we suggest any of the movie adaptations of 'And Then There Were None', knowing the big change most of them make near the end (with the exception I think of the Russian movie)? Or should we just ask for the 2015 miniseries? Should we get through the movies first before we start asking after the Poirot and Miss Marple series? And if yes, which Miss Marple should we focus on?
