A Throwback to Old Hollywood

Rating: 7/10 (14 August 2018)

Based off the 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express" written by Agatha Christie, and remake of the 1974 movie "Murder on the Orient Express" starring Lauren Bacall, Albert Finney, Sean Connery, Ingrid Bergman, Jacqueline Bisset, Vanessa Redgrave, Michael York among others which was also based off the 1934 novel "Murder on the Orient Express" written by Agatha Christie, "Murder on the Orient Express" (2017) starring Michelle 'I love you for life' Pfeiffer, Johnny 'Can't you see my mustache means business?' Depp, Judi 'I'm not dead yet imbecile' Dench, Willem 'the watered-down Charlton Heston' Dafoe, Daisy 'Rey for life' Ridley, Josh 'I'm in good company' Gad, Derek 'I'm an innocent and no I don't know what Ian McKellan's doing' Jacobi, Penelope 'I'm sad quiet holy and sweet' Cruz and director and lead Kenneth 'my 'stache is better than yours and I have gorgeous sweet blue eyes' Branagh among others is beautiful I love it. I love all of it, I love the beautiful acting, I love the beautiful scenery, and most of all the beautiful story but I hate the CGI train shots, I'd rather have an actual train rolling by it slightly takes away from the caliber of the film, but not much. Was Kenneth Branagh nominated for this? OR WHAT? Was he? I don't know, if he wasn't well then he should have been. Was Murder on the Orient Express (in quotation marks) nominated for best picture? Was it? I don't know if it was I'm asking. It damn well and easily should've been. I feel like it probably wasn't, but maybe it was. I don't know who did it, but the revelation of who the killer(s) is in this it's all-time I love it. I love Michelle. When you watch MotOE for the first time through you're trying to read the actors' expressions and figure out who did it, but it was near to impossible not knowing the novel, and the second time through the movie is viewed upon in a completely new light, a completely new found light, a completely new found discovered light, a completely new found discovered revealing and loving light.
