Agatha Christie is a traveler, she has traveled to dozens of countries in her life, North Africa, West Asia, South America have left her footprints, so many of her works are combined with beautiful scenery, the most classic of which is "Massacre on the Nile", although I also think that "Murder on the Orient Express" also has an excellent travel background, but unfortunately the case is too tense and exciting, so there is no time to describe the scenery along the way of the world's most luxurious train. However, the protagonist of the writer's pen always has a more or less similarity with the writer himself, so when the short and fat figure of Hercule Polo appears in various beautiful scenery, there will always be a few people who die... Conan? People who like Conan-style reasoning must not be fans of the Benguet school, and the Death Schoolboy is just a joke, but Poirot's image has long surpassed Sherlock Holmes in some English minds, including Poirot's close friend Captain Hastings, who is no less inferior than Watson.
The Massacre on the Nile tells the story of Miss Lynette Rickway, who holds a fortune, and simon Doyle, the lover of her friend Jacqueline, who marries and goes on a honeymoon on a luxury cruise ship from England to Egypt's Nile. This yacht carries gentry, celebrities, fallen aristocrats from all over the world... It was supposed to be a fascinating, romantic and luxurious tour, but the serial murders that took place on the yacht turned the entire cruise into a "journey of death".
The plot introduction ends here, I think all interested people will not want to be spoiled before watching the mystery film, of course, some people like to know the answer first, but then come back to make up the plot can only be absent-minded, which is the same as those who only listen to and do not watch "Friends" to learn English, just waste hard disk space. Then again, I may still be in the second or third grade of elementary school when I watch this film, but the shock and attraction of this film to me is huge, which may be the beginning of my love for Benguet, the reasoning method of stripping away the cocoon and finding clues from inconspicuous details allows your brain to think together, especially Agatha's work, which requires readers to at least know the basic knowledge of medicine, chemistry, and forensics, so that it will be interesting to read. Agatha once mentioned in her autobiography that poisoning is an art. This may also have something to do with Agatha's life as a military doctor.
So if you watch this movie with your heart, it's hard not to be attracted. In particular, the film is filmed on the spot, taking the Egyptian scenery along the Nile River, the pyramids, Luxor, the Kanak Temple, the Abu Simbel Temple, etc., and you want to guide the characters such as Jacqueline and Mrs. Otterburn, and later these attractions have become pilgrimage places for fans of Agatha Christie's novels.
This film was introduced into the country has been opened up after the opening, when the country just screened the "Murder of the Orient Express", caused a sensation, but this version of Poirot is not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as Peter Ustinov later, of course, I think the most important thing is that this version is the famous Shanghai Film Translation Studio to dub, and the dubbing lineup of this film can be described as an all-star cast of no one before, all the main actors of the translation factory at that time and the young actors who became famous later were among them. The main actor Bik is Ken Takakura's "royal voice actor", and later in "Sins in the Sun" again for Peter Ustinov's Poirot voice, of course, I think Bik's well-known dubbing role should be Avanti...
Mr. Beck has created too many classic images
The voice of Colonel Reese is the famous "Mr. Rochester" Qiu Yuefeng, the heroine Linnett is played by Mr. Rochester's beloved "Jane Eyre" teacher Li Zi, his handsome new husband Simon is played by Qiao Hazel, and the neurotic Jacqueline is a "transpose" performance of Liu Guangning, Who is the voice actor of Mara in "Soul Breaking Blue Bridge". The supporting roles are also brilliant, Ding Jianhua with Louis, Su Xiu with Mrs. Otterburn, Zhao Shenzhi's Mrs. Fanskeller, Zolotong's proud Ferguson, Yu Ding's Dr. Besna, and Cheng Xiaohua's Miss Rosari are all distinct personalities that are unforgettable.
All-star cast of voice actors
Bicker put Poirot's arrogance and conceit but kind and careful emphasis on the interpretation of the free, and finally the case analysis has a large section of Poirot's reasoning monologue, everyone in this paragraph is holding their breath for fear of missing a word, knowing that the case is a big white parent took a breath only to find that this monologue is so long and so hard work. And the master Qiu Yuefeng is rarely matched with the loyal and honest and strict role of Colonel Ruisi, giving people a sense of trust, the neurotic Jacqueline is sublimated by Liu Guangning's trembling voice, I have a friend on Weibo who is a dubbing fan, she told me that she once repeatedly imitated jacqueline's drunken lines before she lost control, think it is also a strong sense of picture ~ Su Xiu teacher interpreted Mrs. Otterburn,This pornographic novelist's debauchery and madness have more sense of humor. It was as if she felt that this old lady could get drunk in your arms at any time. This film is the pinnacle of the Translation Factory, and many people have heard the recording and editing of this film on the radio, losing the picture and still engaging, which is the charm of these dubbing artists.
This film does not have a very prominent award history, and has only won the Best Costume Design Award at the Oscars, but the mystery film will always have the most loyal fans, starring Peter Ustinov later in "Sins in the Sun" to play Poirot again, and the image of Poirot he created is the closest to the original in my opinion, especially his rich facial expressions, of course, the most well-known should be David Suchte's Poirot, but Peter's version is the favorite Belgian little man in the minds of fans. Most of the other actors are not well known to Chinese audiences, but Maggie Smith, who plays Miss Bowers, became a household name because she starred in Harry Potter, the famous Professor McGonagall, and when watching Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, veteran fans found that the professor who turned into a cat was Miss Bowles and the powerful female boss (Maggie Smith later partnered with Peter in "Sins in the Sun").
The last thing to say is that if you like reasoning films, this film is a must-see, if you like scenery films, this film is also a must-see, if you like beautiful vocals, the dubbed version of this film is still a must-see, if you like romance... Poirot finally said this sentence meaningfully: A woman's greatest wish is to make people love her. Although I have always felt that Poirot, a lifelong old bachelor, has always been a conspiracy to say this sentence ~ friends who read the article, please ask if there is an object?
