Death on the Nile (1978)

After watching Murder on the Orient Express (2017) and The Tragedy on the Nile (1978) in a row, the slow, old-fashioned live-action TV series is even more fascinating. The detective type is complained about "where to go and where to die", wondering why it can't be replaced with a more realistic sheriff mode - maybe less legendary? The famous detective appeared, and the master can delegate it with full authority, it seems that he does not need to prove his innocence first. From these two contacts, I can get a glimpse of Agatha's exotic hobbies, background settings, and even the scenery of a shot, key props, and the end of the Nile River through Mrs. Skyler's mouth to talk about going to the Gobi next time. "It must be the most unlikely person" flashed by in the process of reasoning, until Poirot identified Simon, and subconsciously classified him and Lynette as the same victim, presumably it was dark under the lights, and the foreshadowing part also appeared. Honest gentleman. In fact, it's already old-fashioned for emotional liars to seek money and life, and I still feel puzzled and sigh that Jackie is willing to go out. Savvy, courageous and selfish. Linnet Ridgeway marries penniless Prince Charming after whirlwind romance. Keep a civil tougue in your head, Bowers, or you'll be out of a job. And why are you looking at me with in that too-familiar, continental way? Don't be a chump. As soon as we get to Wadi Halfa they 'll dig the damn thing out and i'll be as right as rain.

    After watching it, I was stunned, this is the real detective film. At that time, I was fascinated by the "damn French guy", oh no, the "Belgian guy", and later I watched "Sin under the Sun", which is so classic.

    2010.7.25 "The Nile Tragedy" is another exquisite blockbuster. Like this kind of mystery film with many characters and complicated relationships, it is a test for the director and a test for the audience. The director needs to explain the characters clearly. It is not enough to rely on the name. Just like the novel, I have not remembered almost a single character, but the plot is very clear. This is the director's skill - of course, I also memory ability. Converted a lot of scenes, eh
