The movie was really good, but I don't like the underwater ghost scene. That scene makes it clear that the ghost wasn't just Poirot's hallucination. Without that scene it's completely up for the viewers to interpret whether the ghost is real or not which would make the conclusion so much better.
I have to admit I agree. It was a weird angle to take, especially with poirot who can explain even the impossible. That scene (as well as the death scene leading up to it) wasn’t necessarily needed. But overall a good movie! :)
I disagree, I like the idea being left open that something else was there as well For first off, the ghost scene at the end We do not know fully if that was real or not If it is the mother who sees it or if it could be a manifestation of her guilt coming back at her Mixed with Poirot's hallucinations We only know what the characters believe and see.
Finally saw the movie. Well done technically and the setting in Venice was exquisite. The remarkable fact is that Venice actually looks even better in reality. No stage set designer or CGI could ever hope to come close. In that regard, it was a bit of a bummer that so much of the action took place in one place instead of enlisting such a great venue to move the plot. ' SPOILER: the allusion at the end with the ghost girlie was cheap theatrics; if they wanted to draw irony between the way mommy dearest died and what happened to daughter dearest, then there were more subtle ways it could have been done. BTW, the ""daddy-issues" that the kid who actually did the blackmail is gonna have will set a new standard for psychological trauma despite the cute coda of forgiveness the story attempts. Finally, Branagh brings a dimensional depth to Poirot that the other recently celebrated interpreters simply did not. In each of his films, he has shown a complexity of interpersonal relationships that the previous screenplays never even attempted. In this case, he was far more polite to the Ariadne Oliver character than she deserved, but one is definitely left with the impression that they shall not be exchanging Christmas cards anymore. Good. She is a disgusting character and if they ever bring her back, it should be as a victim---very early in the film.
The best way to do these films if you are going the "realist route" (so not a legit supernatural story) Is too leave just enough doubt that the possibility of something else having been involved someway Can be left and it's up to the audience to decide for themselves After all the boy beleives, he knew, and he talked about having conversations with others despite never interacting with living kids And he has no reason to lie about that stuff. And the end scene is not exaclty clear if it was real or a hallucination Or the mothers own repressed grief coming back at her I think theblije between real and unexplained is walked finely here Enoufh thst it never tips 100% one way or the other.
When I saw this movie I found myself feeling like the medium, despite yes faking certain parts of the seance, actually did have some kind of abilities. Primarily knowing about the murder bit. I love that the movie plays with things that can either be explained or possibly real.
I love this movie, mainly because of the ending. I always hate when the ghosts are explained away by drugs at the end of the movie, and was dissapointed when it looked like that's where this was going, but then they still had the ghost as a real thing and I never felt so relieved.
Whether it is real or not is left open Afterall it was the mother who saw the ghost, poroit was still drugged so it's not clear And there is enough doubt for it to be left up to the viewers For example the boy still believes and knows and he has no reason to lie about that
When I first saw this movie in theaters I knew that the murders were not the work of ghosts, I knew that the motive for murdering the medium was to cover up a murder. But I couldn't figure out how the daughter died and how the doctor died and who did it before Poirot did. I kinda stopped trying to figure it out and just ended up doing nothing but enjoy the movie.
We actually watched it for the channel around Halloween but had a few issues with the camera unfortunately so couldn’t post it. It was a good film though!
@@Reactsandgames eh the fnaf movie was a bit boring. It also decided to take place in an alternate timeline so all references to the game are useless. You want a fun time with animatronic killers? Watch Willy's Wonderland.

Automatic writing, usually by pen and ink, is famous.

I recommend you watch to Five Nights At Freddy's movie.
