 hey guys it's julia and welcome back to my channel and for today's video i'm going to be doing a film review and today i'm going to be reviewing murder on the orange express i saw it last night um in theaters and it is based on a book by agatha christie which i just did a review on so i'll link that down below and it'll also be linked at the end of this video a little bit of details about the actual film so basically this movie just came out in 2017 just in case you're watching this sometime in the future then yes it came out in 2017 um the director is kennis brand brand something cool um the writers are michael green who wrote the screenplay and it's based off the novel by agatha christie like i said the stars of the actual movie nalpy cruise william defoe there's a lot of really famous um actors and actresses in this film so it's about an hour and 54 minutes so up almost two hours it's pg-13 crime drama mystery the whole thing the actual premise of the movie is it's basically a who done it kind of story so someone gets murdered on a train and basically the detective on the train hercules puriot who it they he says it's super french which i can't but he tries to investigate this case and figure out who on the train is the murderer so that's kind of the story behind this film and the book really i am reviewing this from a like bookworms point of view as well so just keep that in mind i'm not true i don't traditionally review movies and tv shows and by the way what this is all about i just decorated for christmas i know it's early but i don't care so i started decorating this is a start so yeah that's happening i think it's cute i like it um so basically talking about the actual film i thought the cinematography of the whole thing was absolutely incredible like i'll put some still shots and some clips and stuff up but you can just see how incredible it is i specifically love like the mountain scenes snow like i love snow so i love seeing the winter scenes of the whole thing and then i also love like the decor on the actual train so they had those lights and just the way it was decorated was very like old-fashioned vintage kind of decorations which i really liked seeing for the actors and actresses i really thought they were all amazing they did a great job are the dude who actually plays um the detective the main lead was so cool i loved his stash he was everything he provided like a lot of comic relief with the show as well but the only thing that i have to say about him like on the negative side which okay so in the book the character hercules piriga whatever period he does not do all these little obsessive thingies that you see in the film so that was added on and i don't know if that was added on for some comic relief or what but i did want to bring that to i did want to mention it because they kind of do like a portrayal of obsessive compulsive disorder but it's kind of done really poorly and just used for laughs which i obviously do not agree with at all so little things like the balance so if you step in something then you have to step on the other foot too to make it balanced it was supposed to be like a joke um the measuring stuff again supposed to be a joke straightening your tie a joke um all those little obsessive traits that people with the obsessive compulsive disorder may have were used in this movie for comic relief which i don't agree with like if there was one of the traits like one of like the straightening this or whatever that's that just could be a preference preference it doesn't mean like that but there was many different things that he did that was like textbook ocd like just basic symptoms that were used as a joke which i don't agree with other than that the cast was amazing the girl the blonde woman i'll put her name up and the picture and stuff she did so well i love the old lady with the dog she was kind of just me like i related um the guy johnny dep played uh ratchet which he did such a good job and william defoe was in it so my only issues well something i want to mention is i don't think this movie is for everybody it's definitely like a slower pace at the beginning and it kind of like slowly gets into it i think the resolution of the movie is like explain really well and like shown really well and it's kind of like like i remember everyone's face in the theater was like shook like i knew what happened because of the book but everyone was shook but so i do love the twist in this film it's just something that bothered me was like the character portrayal of peria like her cute her cute the dude the the detective dude i'm not french sorry um he did such a good job but the the obsessive things about him really bothered me how they used it as comic books and that like it was mostly like a pretty slow going film like it was steady interesting good acting good characters just just like the book i wasn't super invested like i am with some other things or like some movies i'm like beyond the like the edge of my seat even if i read the book like i'm still like so invested in it but this one i was just kind of like okay like same with the movie just kind of like like no really expression like all right like it's good but like i wasn't like excited or nervous or you know and it's not because i expected stuff because like yeah i expected stuff but like that's not why because i've seen movies after i've read the books and i've still been like super excited watching the movie so it just lacked for me in that aspect as well and i think that's what a lot of like other movies reviewers are saying right now is a lot of people i saw on twitter were calling it boring and stuff um i don't necessarily agree with that but i i do agree that the beginning is a bit slower but once you get on the train i think it picks up um but yeah that is my overall thoughts on murder on the orient express and let me know what you thought of this film
