Watchable but highly unlikely to happen in that era

Rating: Null/10 (2 February 2018)

This novel and its modern day adaptation of it only proved one thing: The females' logic and their reasoning ability are indeed not quite fully developed. It also explained why the ancient female-controlled tribal structure was gradually phased out to be replaced by males. All of Agatha Christie's so-called murder mysteries, just like nowadays murder mysteries written by female authors, lacking reasonable logic is the common problem that resulted why I always shy away from most of the female mystery writers, i.e., pure imagination without any logic foundation, full of poor reasoning and self fulfilled laughable justification.
This "Murder on The Oriental Express" and her "Murder on The Nile(?)" are the two typical ridiculously written murder mystery cases. This murder case is crafted in the early nineteen century. We might have the primitive communication techniques such as telegram and telephone, but still not as popular and convenient as today's smart phones. Lower working class won't have such luxuries to contact each other by phone or telegram, albeit a bunch of unrelated strangers who didn't know each other. So how could it possible these people communicated with each other and make up a plan to get together and get the exact timing and timetable to go to a foreign country, aboard on a luxurious Oriental Express that usually only be affordable to the higher class rich people? The don't have iPhone or Samsung smart phone yet, they don't email, they don't have PC, they don't even have APP that could allow them to text each other, to cover up each other in a group murder on a train.
From the very beginning, the storyline, the plots, the scenarios....are simply "IMPOSSIBLE", how come it could be further developed into a murder case? But, if based upon what I've pointed out at the outset, the female take-everything-for-granted logic could make everything happen, no matter how ridiculous it might be. That's why we have so many cartoon-like characters in this novel and in all of the adapted movies. You can still enjoy the film or the novel, but first, you've got to make yourself a moron to accept all the illogic dramatized and exaggerated crap.
