I know they don't blow up the box office, but I really hope they continue making these films. Branagh's Hercule Poirot films are some of my favorite films in recent years. There are so few mystery films releasing these days, so these movies are a real treat. I think the marketing for these films could be a bit better. I only discovered the film was in theaters was because I decided to rewatch last weekend Death on the Nile on Disney Plus and looked up if they were planning to make a sequel. I never saw any advertisement or announcements despite being a huge fan sof the first couple films.

@@andrewholden2768I'm not gonna pretend like I find the portrayal of Poirot in the latest movies to be Perfect, but at the same time I don't see it "desecrating" the image of Poirot as you claim it to be. --- In fact, the newer movies help shed light to the fact that Sherlock holmes isn't the only good detective character out there and the newer movies will encourage new fans to look into other works especially David Suchet's.

I feel that Looper forgot to mention on how besides on choosing on how to live his life, its more so him believing that there is, while little, a shred of evidence of the supernatural which breaks his cynicism and pessimism on life such that there may be a presence of something beyond the physical world which would mean that there is hope that ultimately the scales of balance & justice can be achieved which then reignites his vigor as a detective.

TBH I never read Agatha Christy's novels so I do not know how authentic Poirot's character is in the movies, but I assure you that those movies are actual fun to watch, it is so rare that we get to watch old fashioned detective movies, I hope Kenneth Branagh continues this series with many more adaptations

I just finished my first Poirot novel today and let me say, I might be in the minority, but I prefer the movies and their version of Poirot. Idk he just feels like a nicer man who you actually want to spend time with while in the book I thought he was annoying at times. The one I read is The Murder of Rogan Ackroyd and it was a decent read, but it was pretty boring in the middle and was saved by the ending for me.

⚠️(SPOILER ALERT)⚠️ So am I right to assume that while the supposed haunted murders were in fact just committed by human, and Poirot seeing ghosts were possibly hallucinogenic drug effects, that there was still supernatural going on? Her mother’s death may or may not be based on Poirot’s hallucination, but how to explain the voice change of Joyce Reynolds and the turning of the chair? The M forming at the walls? The water turning hot in the bathroom?
@LetsBiiny11 ай бұрын
The M was a hallucination and the water turning hot, I don’t really care about that because sometimes water can be boiling hot out of the pipe (or he just hallucinated it was hot). I totally agree on the voice change, it never gets explained. And I want to add that the turned the water off and then Leopold mentions he forgot to turn it off. That’s also weird
@nitenight99611 ай бұрын
@@LetsBiiny I see, thank you for your inputs. Would also like to ask for your thoughts on another realization I have. If since we cant explain the voice change, it’s really probably Alesia and she had to be the one revealing she was murdered and not Joyce Reynolds right? The three conspirators only had the goal of baffling Poirot of “paranormal” activities, and had no prior idea about the murder in that case. How timely and unfortunate for Joyce Reynolds to then become one of the suspects of the mother since she has been blackmailed at this time. Do you have the same thoughts?

So remember when the water boiled hot? Well right after that, he turns the faucet off. Then he see’s the ghost in the mirror right..? Then right as he’s leaving that restroom, remember he starts talking to the kid, and the kid mentions that the faucets still running..? That was the ghost. Also, when he hears the child’s voice, and he’s talking to her, and then he full on sees the child, and then the Lady Author asks him, who are you talking to..? He glances at the author, then looks back at the kid he saw and the kid was literally gone. Well the kid was Alicia right, BUT at that point in the movie, Hercule didn’t know at all what Alicia looked like yet, he hadn’t seen any pictures at all. So how could he possibly have hallucinated when he saw her in the bathroom mirror and in the upstairs room when she was in child form…? That was definitely her. And I definitely think Alicia’s ghosts certainly killed her mom lol. I mean, the movie wouldn’t be called a haunting in Venice for no reason right.😜
