Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_14beeefd	type	Darker and Edgier
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_14beeefd	comment	Darker and Edgier: Much more so in the novel or the 1974 film; the passengers turn on each other even if it's all an act and are openly hostile to Poirot. The train isn't just stuck in a snowdrift; part of it is derailed and is stuck on a trestle bridge, having narrowly avoided being swept off entirely by a full-scale avalanche. At the end of the 1974 film, the cast is happy and relieved that the ordeal is over, and they toast being able to get away with (an admittedly justified) murder. Here, everyone involved is either exhausted, traumatized, or both. It will be a long time before they can recover, and everyone knows that, even if it was justified, they have still committed murder, and living with it will carry emotional scars.

This film goes even further, referring to Colonel Armstrong as a famous aviator.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_18e2980	type	Poirot Speak
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_18e2980	comment	Poirot Speak: Frequently spoken by the Trope Namer himself. English isn't Poirot's native tongue so he occasionally get words and grammar mixed up, especially when it comes to colloquialisms. For instance, when confronting MacQueen about stealing from Ratchett, he asks Bouc what is the English word for chocolat, and finally declares that MacQueen's books are "full of fudge!" i.e. he has fudged the numbers.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_1fb947b6	comment	Just Train Wrong: The Orient Express is pulled by a heavily modified SNCF Class 241 during the whole course of the movie. While the train goes through Turkey and Yugoslavia the locomotive never changes. This would be not possible due to regulations at the time. During the trip of the Orient Express the locomotive would have been changed on every border crossing. The Class 241 was built from 1948 to 1952, but the movie takes place in 1934. When they are boarding the Orient Express in Istanbul, the locomotive looks like a WÃ¼rttemberg C. While this is an accurate locomotive that actually pulled the Orient Express, the displayed locomotive number is fantasy. Also, none were sold to the Turkish State Railways.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Just like in the small screen adaptation starring David Suchet, the doctor has gone from being an innocent bystander who assisted Poirot's investigation to being a member of the "jury" that sentences Ratchett to death. In fact, he goes so far as to shoot Poirot at one point, though he deliberately grazed him and tried to frame himself as the only culprit. It also applies to the other half of the Composite Character, as in the same scene Dr. Arbuthnot makes a rather jarring claim that Casetti didn't deserve a trial. Col. Arbuthnot in the book and previous adaptations firmly believed that trial by jury was a sound system, which was in fact the point of gathering twelve people to exact revenge on Casetti to begin with. Cyrus Hardman is now an Austrian Professor who is explicitly racist and implied to be a Nazi, though this is subverted when it turned out he was faking his identity.

This is enough to convince Poirot that the guilty do deserve a second chance instead of eleven people being hanged for the murder of one man.

However, they're such massive emotional train wrecks by the end of the ordeal that it doesn't feel like a fully earned victory for them, and even Poirot feels rattled by the affair. Even so, Poirot picks up his bags and is told of another case that needs to be solved, specifically on the Nile River. This can be summed up in Poirot's last words to the train passengers.

Here he's played by Johnny Depp. To be fair, he's definitely not handsome thanks to prosthetic makeup. In the novel, Princess Dragomiroff is described as being almost spectacularly ugly, compared to a frog on more than one occasion, but in the film is played by the elegant Judi Dench. The novel's Greta Ohlsson is compared to a sheep. Penelope Cruz' Pilar decidedly lacks this trait. Poirot in literature is a short, rotund man with an egg-shaped head. Kenneth Branagh is none of these.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_5663a595	type	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_5663a595	comment	Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: The change of Cassettiâ€™s fate from being caught but acquitted to him just fleeing the country before he could be arrested. Arbuthnot even mentions the possibility of handing Cassetti over to the police when heâ€™s trying to implicate himself, but itâ€™s never brought up again when Poirot debates the morality of the passengersâ€™ actions. It's worth mentioning, the 1974 film also has this same plot hole — in that adaptation he fled with the ransom money before he could be arrested and left his partner to be the fall guy, who only admitted Cassetti's involvement on the eve of his execution. It was suspected that Marquez would be accused of the murder simply because of his Spanish surname. But Pilar also has a Spanish surname- yet nobody says that about her. Since Greta in the original would not have had that accusation due to her Swedish surname, perhaps they neglected in the remake to realize that Pilar having a Spanish surname could have likely gotten her accused. Alternately, perhaps the same prejudices that would favor a Spanish-named passenger as a scapegoat would also make the accusers presume a woman too timid, squeamish and/or incompetent to commit such a deed. This adaptation also omits the part where Count Andrenyi explains that he acted on his wife's behalf during the execution of Ratchettâ€”in the source material she took a dose of barbitol and slept through the whole thing, being too traumatised to participateâ€”leaving her the only suspect technically innocent of the murder (though of course she is still part of the conspiracy). The fact that this leaves thirteen murderers but still only twelve stab wounds is simply never addressed (she doesn't however, appear in the flashback sequence of the murder, so it maybe the case this still is what happened despite it not being mentioned).

Countess Andrenyi has become addicted to barbitol as a way of dealing with her sister's death. She's seen pouring one bottle down a sink at the end of the film, hinting that she may recover. Poirot is a lot more conflicted about letting the killers go scot-free by letting Bouc present the bullshit solution to the Yugoslav police (though less conflicted than in the David Suchet TV adaptation). In the novel he was a lot more comfortable with the decision.

The conspirators (that is, basically everybody on the train) are all clearly broken people who murdered Cassetti out of grief and rage and it is evident that the experience has just been awful for each and every one of them.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_7abd339f	comment	Black-and-White Morality: Deconstructed. At the beginning of the movie, Poirot insists that "there is right, there is wrong and there is nothing in between." When he uncovers and confronts Ratchett's murderers, he admits to finding himself eating his earlier words in the face of said killers' compelling circumstances and especially their willingness to take the rap for each-other. Ultimately, he poses a Secret Test of Character to the killers, and the results convince him to lie to the police to protect them.

Poirot comments to Mary that they are not in America, and she doesn't have to hide her romantic relationship with Abuthnot.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: They come in a flurry for Poirot in the opening sequence. There's the mustache, which is an Establishing Character Moment all by itself. Then there's his insistence on getting two boiled eggs that are exactly the same size for breakfast. (He measures with a ruler.) When Poirot goes out and steps in shit, he deliberately steps in it with the other shoe so they are evened out. Then, after evening out the poop on his shoes, he solves the theft of an important religious artifact. Ratchett threatens Masterman with a gun after ordering him to do various tasks. Estravados punches out a man that touches her rear and later says that drinking is a sin. Hubbard talks incessantly to a clearly annoyed Poirot. Hardman expresses disgust at sitting near Arbuthnot. Dragomiroff coldly refuses several rooms offered to her. Dr. Arbuthnot yells at the crew of the malfunctioning boat that he has a patient to see, realizes they don't speak English and then goes to help fix the boat. Count Andrenyi beats up several photographers. Marquez tips a worker and tells them to put a good word in for Americans. Bouc admits that he likes Poirot because he doesn't judge him for being a horrible man.

To be brief: Caroline (actually Linda Arden), Pilar, Mary, Hildegarde, and Natalia were avenging Daisy (though Natalia was avenging the entire Armstrong family as well); Elena (actually Helena Goldberg) was avenging her sister Sonia Armstrong (though rather than stabbing the victim she had her husband do it); Pierre and Gerhard were avenging the falsely accused maid; Hector was avenging his district attorney father who was ruined by accusing the wrong suspect; and Edward, Dr. Arbuthnot, and Biniamino were avenging John Armstrong.

That's expecially true in the case of this novel, where Poirot mostly stumble upon the case rather than being purposefully hired to solve it, hence the suspect don't even know or imagine who they are dealing with. In the movie, however, he challenges them directly while calling himself the greatest detective in the world.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_97926168	type	Rewatch Bonus
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_97926168	comment	Rewatch Bonus: Ms. Hubbard following and chatting with Poirot when he first boards the train is seen as a woman trying to flirt with him and is perhaps a bit drunk. She is actually Linda Arden and is the mastermind of the murder, therefore she is trying to figure out the new arrival she did not plan for. When Mary sees Poirot at the station, she asks if he would be joining them. Watch her expression when Poirot indicates he may be. She is thrown off because no one had planned for an additional passenger on the train, let alone a famous detective like Poirot. Rewatch the scene when Poirot enters the train while Ms. Hubbard is talking with him. Almost all the conspirators shown are watching Poirot as he walks by. MacQueen is dismayed and a bit annoyed when he finds out that Poirot will be bunking with him instead of a Mr. Harris. It's because "Mr. Harris" is fictional and the conspirators faked a reservation so no one not in on their scheme would be on the train. Later, Michel graciously relocates MacQueen so Poirot could have the cabin to himself. Michel did it so MacQueen was bunked with someone who was in on the plan to cover for him. The conversation between Ms. Hubbard and Ratchett take on a different meaning once you know that she knows she is talking to the man who murdered her granddaughter and indirectly caused the deaths of her daughter and her son in law. After the murder occurs, everyone is deeply suspicious of everyone else, shooting each other nervous looks. It's not because they think someone is the murderer but because they were worried that one of them may crack and expose what they all did to Poirot. When finding out the train is delayed, many start complaining of the inconvenience until Estravados gives a rather intense speech about God and how they are not necessarily entitled to reach their destination on time. Everyone looks a bit uncomfortable afterwards, seemingly unsettled by her religious devotion. With The Reveal that all of them were in on the murder, Estravados's words is actually hitting them that they killed a man with the possibility that they may not be as justified as they think and there is a good chance they will get caught or answer for their crime in some way. Some lines from Estravados actually hint at her past. She talks about how she no longer drink, how drinking is a sin and she is now a light sleeper because she was "surprised" once. She was Daisy's nanny and she had been drinking and had fallen asleep the night Casetti kidnapped Daisy and couldn't stop him.

In today's world, concern with systematic racism is a good a thing, and even the employment of sex workers is no big deal if he's not abusive to them. (And it seems he's not) But but for a 1930's gentleman, he acts quite "improper". Poirot is not exactly progressive, but he's seen a lot of lowlifes among the rich and powerful, so Bouc's quirks hardly faze him, and his lack of hypocrisy might even be refreshing.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: In the beginning of the movie, Poirot tells the police officer his philosophy, "There is right and there is wrong; there is no in-between." This sets up his character arc where he has to learn that right and wrong are not as black and white as they appear. Sure enough, the movie ends with Poirot sadly realizing the true culprit (or culprits) fall somewhere between right and wrong. Ratchet nodding off then snapping awake on the night he is to be murdered may seem like a case of not being able to sleep easy because of the threatening notes he's been receiving. But later, it turns out he was drugged. Also when Michel checks on Ratchett, we hear him say in perfect French "It's nothing". It's already been established he's not fluent in French. In reality, the murderer was speaking for him to make it sound like he was still alive at the time. When Poirot is taking charge of the case, all of the passengers are broken reflections in the train's mirrors. It's a visual cue that indicates they're all broken and guilty. A two-fold example. Dr. Arbuthnot is an expert sharpshooter, yet when he holds Poirot at gunpoint after revealing himself as the murderer, he only grazes his arm despite having him dead to rights. Poirot later realizes Arbuthnot used his marksmanship skills to miss deliberately both so he could take the fall for the murders and because he can't bring himself to kill an innocent man. This also foreshadows the ending, where none of the murderers can bring themselves to kill the innocent Poirot despite the very real possibility he could have them convicted.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_a9b76ab3	comment	Outof Character Alert: Dr. Arbuthnot is an expert sharpshooter and a compassionate doctor dedicated to his job. When he holds Poirot at gunpoint - seemingly to kill him to cover up killing Casseti - he's only able to graze Poirot's arm and shows no remorse. Poirot realizes Arbuthnot missed deliberately because he was hoping to serve as the fall guy for the murder and because he can't bring himself to kill an innocent man - indeed, during the climax he refuses to kill Poirot even if it's the only way to save his fellow murderers' skin.

No one really comes out of the experience better off for it.

Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_af2547c9	type	Informed Flaw
Murder on the Orient Express (2017) / int_af2547c9	comment	Informed Flaw: Bouc cheerfully describes himself as a "terrible person," apparently due to his womanizing and lack of personal ambition. In practice he's actually one of the most moral characters in the movie, which is evidenced by his being close friends with Poirot, who wouldn't associate with "terrible people" (eg. Ratchett): he goads Poirot into taking up the case to avoid a miscarriage of justice by pointing out that the Latino Marquez and the black Dr. Arbuthnot are the most likely passengers to be deemed the culprit by the police, and serves ably as a sidekick to Poirot even at risk to himself. He also took no part in Cassetti's murder. It's implied by Poirot in The Summation that Bouc would be willing to cover up the murders of Cassetti and Poirot to save himself, but as this is part of Poirot's Secret Test of Character, it's likely untrue. Granted, this probably a case of self-deprecation and Values Dissonance. In today's world, concern with systematic racism is a good a thing, and even the employment of sex workers is no big deal if he's not abusive to them. (And it seems he's not) But but for a 1930's gentleman, he acts quite "improper". Poirot is not exactly progressive, but he's seen a lot of lowlifes among the rich and powerful, so Bouc's quirks hardly faze him, and his lack of hypocrisy might even be refreshing.

None of them takes the gun and goes through with it. Linda takes the gun and starts aiming it at Poirot, but instead she tries to take her own life, recognizing she's the only one who must answer for the murder. Of course, it turns out the gun was never loaded.
