dc.description.abstract | In this thesis, Kenneth Branagh’s film adaptation Murder on the Orient Express (2017) will be analysed to see how it deviates from Agatha Christie’s novel. This thesis aims to provide an answer to the question of how Kenneth Branagh adapted Murder on the Orient Express for a modern audience. It will argue that Branagh has stayed reasonably close to the source text while at the same time updating the story and its characters in order for the modern audience to connect better with the story. The thesis will do so by looking at the characterisation of the story’s protagonist Hercule Poirot, Branagh’s inclusion of the modern themes of race and racism, and the use of action and violence. | en_US |
