In 2004, viewers were presented with a new version of the series "Miss Marple Agatha Christie." Actors in the updated tape took part completely different, but in many ways the tapes are similar. The atmosphere of the detectives of the famous writer was well conveyed in the serial, which made the project so popular.
Plot
There are a lot of actors and roles in the series "Miss Marple Agatha Christie", most of them appear for just one series, one investigation. The only hero who never changes is Miss Marple.
Jane Marple was never an employee of Scotland Yard and was never associated with the work of the detective. However, she can easily solve the most complicated crimes, and more than once she has ousted police officers. Miss Marple is a lonely old woman who in her youth was unable to get married. Now she lives in an English village known to readers of detective stories as St. Mary's Mead. Most of the time a woman spends knitting, caring for the garden, and also performs small instructions from the council for the good of society.
By nature, Miss Marple is a very curious woman. She is always interested in the life of her neighbors, aware of all the rumors and gossip. In addition, the heroine is very observant. The village is the home of the main character from her youth, which is why she literally knows by heart the biographies of other residents of the village. Incredibly, it is precisely these observations that help Jane to solve the killings. The heroine just knows how a person behaves when he lies, something hides or suppresses any emotions. Thus, the grandmother, invisible at first glance, finds out the most terrible secrets and finds criminals.
Those who read Agatha Christie’s novels may be partially unhappy with the series. The fact is that the creators of the story allowed themselves to slightly modify the detective lines. Often a special place can be given to the hero, who in the novel was presented as secondary. Sometimes the directors changed the outcome of the crime, and also filmed nine novels that have nothing to do with Miss Marple.
Actors of the series "Miss Marple Agatha Christie" (despite all the inconsistencies with the original stories) were able to make fans of book detectives close their eyes to all the shortcomings and enjoy what was happening on the screens.
