映画館で極上ミステリー・クルーズを体感!名探偵ポアロと巡る『ナイル殺人事件』の舞台、神秘に満ちた古代エジプトへ

Agatha Christie, one of Britain's leading mystery writers, has been recognized by Guinness as the world's best-selling author. "Death on the Nile" (released on February 25) is a movie adaptation of her masterpiece "Death on the Nile," which was called "The Queen of Mystery" due to her clever tricks and profound portraiture. Directed and starred by Kenneth Branagh following "Murder on the Orient Express" (17). The director's work "Belfast" (released on March 25) has been nominated for seven categories at this year's Academy Awards, and Branagh is getting more and more attention. The famous detective Hercule Poirot, who he plays, faces an unprecedented sad incident. [See the photo] Detective Poaro who gracefully makes tea while looking at the huge pyramid and sphinx ■ There are as many secrets as there are love ... Poaro challenges the mystery of the beautiful millionaire murder during his honeymoon Simon (Army) The beautiful millionaire Lynette (Gal Gadot), who married Hammer), visited Egypt on her honeymoon. Detective Poaro, who enjoyed his vacation here, is invited to a party on board the cruise ship "Carnack" hosted by Lynette, at the behest of his young friend Buke (Tom Bateman). The attendees are all acquaintances of Lynette such as singers, property managers, doctors, maids, and godfathers. However, Jacqueline (Emma Mackey), who was Lynette's best friend, was mixed in. Jacqueline was Simon's ex-girlfriend and was sacked by her best friend after being looted. And on the night of cruising the Nile, Lynette is killed by someone. Her culprit seemed to be Jacqueline, but she had a perfect alibi. Poirot finds out that everyone on board had a motive to kill Lynette ... Yes, Poirot's challenge in this work is a murder that happened in a closed room called a cruise ship. The story revolves around the love triangle of Lynette, Simon, and Jacqueline, dramatically depicting the various "loves" that passengers have. Poaro uncovers the truth of the shock hidden behind the incident by fully rotating the clear "gray brain cells" and unraveling the thread of human relations in which love, hate, jealousy, and desire are intricately intertwined. It is a number of magnificent locations that excite this mysterious work where the mystery calls a mystery. Egypt, where civilization has prospered since ancient times, is a treasure trove of ancient ruins including World Heritage Sites. You can enjoy a gorgeous trip to Egypt while you are in the movie theater by watching Poirot's journey on a luxury cruise to the historical sights. ■ Giant Pyramid of Giza suitable for the beginning of a journey The first thing that appears in Egypt is the Pyramid of Giza that rises above the vast sandy land. It is a graveyard ruin centered on three huge pyramids where King Khufu, King Khafre, and King Menkaure sleep. The largest of King Khufu has a height of over 130m. The camera work that slowly captures the whole picture, which has been certified as a World Heritage Site, from the sky is a masterpiece! You can feel the realism of witnessing the pyramid with the detailed images that show the details. Poirot and Buke, who gracefully make tea in front of the magnificent pyramid, meet again by chance, and this trip begins. ■ Giant statue Sphinx with a human head and a lion's body The Sphinx, another giant building that represents Egypt, stands in the immediate vicinity of such a pyramid. The largest stone statue with a human head and a lion's body is 20m high and over 70m long. Its role is said to be the protection of the pyramid, but it is a mysterious stone statue whose purpose and when it was made has not been clarified. The image from the superb view point, where you can see the Pyramid of Khafre and the Great Sphinx from the front, is breathtaking! ■ Aswan Market with colorful African products One of Egypt's tourist attractions is the market with a lively oriental space. Aswan Market, located in the center of the south, is a huge market with products from Egypt and Africa. Colorful items such as agricultural products, fragrances, clothing, and miscellaneous goods are like an oasis in the desert. At such an Aswan market, Poirot discovers the appearance of Jacqueline standing alone. Through conversation, she learns that she has her regrets about Simon and that she actually has a small pistol hidden in her bag. Old Catalact Aswan Poirot, a five-star hotel like a palace is at the height of happiness The first time I meet Mr. and Mrs. Linette & Simon is a five-star hotel overlooking the Nile, Softil Legend Old Catalact Aswan Is. Designed by an Englishman at the end of the 19th century, this hotel is a gorgeous Victorian building with a palace-like majesty. It is also known as the place where Christie once stayed and began writing "Death on the Nile". The luxury cruise ship Karnak, which was the scene of the murder, is fiction, but there is a steamer that became a model. The Sudan, which was built for the Egyptian royal family and later became a cruise ship, is said to have enjoyed a cruise on the Nile on this ship. The Sudan is still in service with some modifications, and the suites used by Christie are said to be very popular. ■ Abu Simbel Temple, a World Heritage Site with the Statues of Ramses II The Abu Simbel Temple, which has been designated as a World Heritage Site, is a large temple built by Ramses II around 1280 BC. A colossus of Ramses II over 20m is lined up in front, and a family statue stands at his feet. A cave temple carved from a rocky mountain along the Nile, buried in the sand but dug up in the 19th century. Relocation work was carried out in the 1960s for the construction of a dam in four years, and with that as an opportunity, the momentum for archaeological protection increased and the World Heritage Convention was born. In the movie, passengers stop by during the cruise and stroll through the mysterious temple. Poirot appears as the starting point of the incident, such as when Lynette is aimed at someone's life and Poirot exchanges conversations with passengers that may be a hint of subsequent development. ■ Karnak set with a total length of about 116m and a width of about 48m The main stage of the movie, the Karnak, has a hull set with a total length of about 116m and a width of about 48m built in the studio. Free camera work depicts people moving back and forth between guest rooms and floors. In addition, Old Cataract Aswan is a complete reproduction of the hotel of the 1930s, including the lobby, hall, and courtyard, by the art staff who visited the actual hotel. The set of Abu Simbel's temples was a masterpiece, and a temple was built in the studio where a colossal statue stood by surveying the actual temple. The 65mm (70mm) film IMAX camera was used to shoot this film. Compared to the general 35mm, the large format, which has an area ratio of about 3 times, enables precise images. Since it is possible to capture facial expressions without having to close up the faces of the actors, this feature was demonstrated in this work, in which the ensemble cast unfolds a group image drama. ■ Also pay attention to the costumes of the cast who played the upper class celebrities! The characters in this work are upper class celebrities who are the daughters of millionaires and have a connection to the heir Lynette. Their gorgeous costumes and decorations are also worth seeing. The costume design is done by Paco Delgado, who has two Academy Award nominations such as "Les Miserables" (12) starring Hugh Jackman. Not only did he faithfully reproduce the 1937 costume, but he also emphasized representing the inside of his passionate character. Also, referring to the costumes of the movie stars at that time, he tried to incorporate modern elements such as red and orange tones, and tried to make the costumes look good even if you look at them. We also want to pay attention to high-quality ornaments such as Tiffany's yellow diamonds that appear in the play as important items. As explained at the beginning, this work is a luxury cruise and mystery solving mystery with the theme of "love". Originally, in addition to detective novels, Christie also wrote romance novels such as "The Rose and the Yew" and "The Burden" under the name of Mary Westmacot (published as Agatha Christie in Japan). It can be said that this work is a work that makes the best use of such characteristics of Christie. However, this movie is surprising to those who read the original, such as the involvement of the original character Book who also appeared in "Murder on the Orient Express" and the secret about Poirot's own love. I'll show you. One of the charms of "Death on the Nile" is that you can enjoy solving the mystery of the movie only.Sentence / Shinbudan Shiro
