Murder on the Orient Express: Difference between revisions

==== Tropes used by [[Murder on the Orient Express]] (''there will be non-concealed, highly spoilerific material later: you have been warned''): ====

* [[Adaptational Angst Upgrade]]: In the original novel and most adaptations, Hercule {{spoiler|rather cavalierly lets the murderers go free,}} but in the 1974 film and ''especially'' the 2010 ''[[Poirot]]'' versions, {{spoiler|he is deeply conflicted before finally making the choice.}}

* [[Artistic Title]]: The 1974 film opens with a montage sequence by [[Richard Williams]] depicting the kidnapping and murder of Daisy Armstrong via various [[Spinning Paper|Spinning Papers]].

* [[Asshole Victim]]: Ratchett's portrayed as a terrible man, so there isn't much sympathy when he is killed. {{spoiler|We find out that he's so deserving of his fate that Poirot eventually lets his murderers go.}}
