Unnecessary twist at all..

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2007)

Why the hell should be a twist ?.. This is the new epidemic of today's movies that every film should have a crazy twist, which is, most of the time, totally contrived and irrelevant. Think twice.. The movie was a masterpiece in plot, characters, acting and photography, till the last 5 minutes when the script writer got possessed by the "Twist demon". He ruined everything. We have been recruited emotionally for nothing, for the crown prince was innocent. There are many holes in here:
1- WHY ? .. Why did the wizard plot such a thing when he could easily escape with the Duchess ?. 2- She wasn't dead, but what about her burial ? How did she escape the sermons ? 3- Where was she hidden all this time ? what if the prince didn't commit suicide ?.. Would she remain hidden for ever ? 4- And above all... How did the inspector know all this and make these conclusions while the train was departing ?.. give me the pieces of the puzzle he connected. He had nothing at all except the wizard was on the train.. 5- So all this was a matter of stage play, so please gimme an explanation for the apparitions we saw, and Norton's disappearance from the stage.
Frankly, if the film ended when the train left the station, it would be much powerful. This twist weakened everything like what happened with "Identity".
