A HAUNTING IN VENICE (2023)

"Every murderer is probably somebody's old friend," observed Poirot philosophically. "You cannot mix up sentiment and reason." - Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles

Benoit Blanc's similarities to other fictional detectives

Specifically Holmes, Poirot and Columbo because I'm most familiar with them and saw many of their characteristics in Blanc.

Impeccable clothes - Poirot

Cigar - Columbo

Post-case slump - Holmes

Eccentric - Holmes, Poirot, Columbo

Detection as a means of helping people, not just for the sake of solving crimes - Holmes (and Poirot and Columbo to a slightly lesser extent)

Fun name – Holmes, Columbo, Poirot

Referred to by surname (almost) all of the time, even by close friends/partners – Columbo, Holmes, Poirot

Kindness to and deep respect for vulnerable women – Holmes, Columbo, Poirot

Said to be the best detective in the world – Holmes, Poirot

Fun American accent – Columbo

Hates rich people who abuse their financial influence – Holmes, Columbo, Poirot

Polite – Columbo (of course Holmes and Poirot can also be very polite but I don't feel like it's a defining characteristic for them the way it is for Columbo)

Rude to mean rich people in a way that is so polite the horrible rich people don’t realise they’re being made fun of/talked to rudely – Holmes, Poirot

Politeness and diplomacy that is often pushed too far and they explode into explicit anger – Holmes, Columbo, Poirot

Drama in resolution – all three to varying degrees, but especially Poirot

Understated and affable – Columbo

Involved in self-contained stories – Columbo, Poirot, Holmes (though a couple of Holmes stories do link closely to previous stories)

Uses the word 'afoot' – Holmes

Gay – Holmes, Poirot (I'll let you decide if this applies to Columbo)

#feel free to add to this or debate it (but kindly) #sherlock holmes #hercule poirot #benoit blanc #columbo #knives out #glass onion #acd sherlock holmes #obviously many of these were intentional and the films have a definite poirot vibe #like benoit blanc is a homage to other detectives but still fresh - i like that he is not the most central character for example #hes an homage to older detective fiction but the films bring a different perspective #i could maybe make this into a venn diagram but for ease it is a list #holmes doesnt necessarily help women get their revenge but he also doesnt stand in their way #like with kitty winter and then the women who shot CAM #actually im not too familiar with kitty winter's story so dont quote me on it but im pretty sure she fits the point im making #left out some obvious ones like 'consults with police' bc that's boring imo

The Murder on the Orient Express (abridged):

Poirot: Tell me exactly what you were doing before M. Ratchett's body was discovered. Passengers: Alright, well we were in our compartments. Poirot: Okay. Passengers: We were sitting in our berths. Poirot: Yes. Passengers: Reading a book. Poirot: Go on. Passengers: And, uh, well Ratchett had his bed made up for the night. Poirot: Okay. Passengers: So we went to his compartment. Poirot: Yes. Passengers: And we, uh, stabbed him twelve times in the chest. Poirot: Mesdames et Messieurs, that kills people! Passengers: Oh, oh, well we - did not know that. Poirot: How could you not know that? Passengers: Yeah, we're not in the wrong here. He sucked.

But then I'm not really as stupid as people think! If you're very slow and just stare, people think you don't take things in - and sometimes, underneath, you're laughing at them!
