Death on the Nile (2022)	comment	Death on the Nile is a 2022 American-British mystery thriller and the follow-up to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express. The third screen adaptation of Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novel of the same name, following the 1978 film and the 2004 episode of Poirot, it is part of Kenneth Branagh's film series. Branagh directs again and stars again as Poirot, with a screenplay by Michael Green. It was due to release on October 9, 2020, but was delayed several times until ultimately releasing on February 11, 2022 (due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and scandals surrounding Armie Hammer).The year is 1937. Jacqueline de Bellefort (Emma Mackey) introduces her dashing fiance Simon Doyle (Armie Hammer) to her friend, wealthy heiress Linnet Ridgeway (Gal Gadot). The idea is that Linnet will hire Simon as manager of her estate, but it backfires rather badly on Jackie when, within six weeks, Simon marries Linnet.Simon and Linnet go on a gala honeymoon, a cruise down the Nile River in Egypt. They have a lot of friends on board with them, but as it turns out, most of their "friends" have grudges against Linnet: Linnet's maid Louise (Rose Leslie) resents Linnet for having torpedoed Louise's chance at marriage. Linnet's old classmate Rosalie Otterbourne (Letitia Wright) is a black woman who was once subjected to racist prejudice from Linnet, although they became friends. But her aunt, famed blues singer Salome Otterbourne (Sophie Okonedo), hasn't forgiven Linnet for the incident. Dr. Linus Windlesham (Russell Brand) is Linnet's old lover, dumped for Simon. Linnet's cousin Andrew (Ali Fazal) turns out to have been embezzling from Linnet's estate. Linnet's godmother Marie Van Schuyler (Jennifer Saunders) despises her fortune but stands to inherit if she dies. Marie's nurse Mrs. Bowers (Dawn French) is a companion/servant because Linnet's father destroyed her father in business. Euphemia Bouc (Annette Bening), mother to Linnet’s and Poirot's mutual friend Bouc (Tom Bateman), hates that Linnet introduced her beloved son to Rosalie, since she disapproves of the match.But the angriest person on the cruise is Jacqueline de Bellefort, who did not take being dumped at all well, and is stalking Simon and Linnet on their honeymoon, shooting Death Glares from her eyes all the while.Just about the only person on the river cruise without a connection to Linnet is the famous Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot (Branagh), although unlike the source novel when he's simply on a vacation, this time he's on the cruise for a reason. So it's not quite a Busman's Holiday when poor Linnet is murdered, and Poirot has to find out who killed her.A third Poirot film by Branagh, A Haunting in Venice, released on September 15, 2023.

However, she does broadly play a similar role to Mrs. Allerton from the original story. Applies to Poirot's long-lost love, Katherine, as well, who did not exist in the novels (though she was mentioned in the previous film).

The death toll is higher, Poirot is given an additional tragic backstory to his character arc, and the film is overall more dramatic and tense, ending on a very bittersweet note, with the detective being profoundly broken by the murder of Bouc.

Death on the Nile (2022) / int_14d633ed	comment	If I Wanted You Dead...: Salome's main argument as to why she is not the killer. If she were the type to kill anyone who behaved in a racist manner towards her, then "the world would be littered with dead white ladies". Andrew has a similar argument a little earlier in the movie. When Poirot is interrogating him as a suspect, Andrew pulls out a .45 caliber handgun and says that if he had to kill someone, he would use that (instead of the .22 caliber peashooter that was used).

Averted in the end, however, since she never was, technically speaking, Simon's ex. They never broke up and actually planned him leaving her for Linnet so that he could kill her, inherit the money and marry Jacqueline Poirot suspects Bessner to be a male version of this trope due to his failed engagement to Linnet. The eventual reveal of the real murderers undermines that suspicion completely.

Death on the Nile (2022) / int_20f689e9	type	Adaptational Villainy
Death on the Nile (2022) / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: Jacqueline and Simon who are quite sympathetic in the book and previous adaptations, are portrayed as much more sinister and psychotic here, pulling out guns when they are outed as the killers. They also don't show any regret for murdering Linnet, unlike the book where Jackie was filled with remorse and Simon couldn't cope with the guilt and eventually confessed to his crime. Jacqueline in particular is more antagonistic here and lacks the touching bond with Poirot that she does in the book and other two versions. Also in this version, Jacqueline and Simon planned to murder Linnet for her money from the get-go, even before Jackie introduced them. In the novel, Simon was unemployed after having been caught embezzling, and Jackie, who loved her friend Linnet dearly, counted on her to give Simon a job managing her estate. What she WASN'T counting on was that Linnet, desiring Simon as soon as she laid eyes on him, would blatantly and shamelessly try to seduce him away from Jackie, never caring in the least that Jackie was her friend. After all, Linnet had never been denied anything she wanted in her life, and believed she was simply entitled by virtue of her birth to everything she desired, even if it was her best friend's fiance. Simon had no interest in Linnet, but was VERY interested in her money, and only got the idea for marrying and killing Linnet after she started throwing herself at him. Jackie knew that he wasn't capable of pulling it off without getting caught, and couldn't dissuade Simon from his intentions, so she entered into the plot to come up with a foolproof method and protect Simon. (By that point, she had no love left for Linnet, and figured that if she was going to die anyway it might as well be in a way that wouldn't implicate Simon.) As Poirot reflected sadly, Jackie had no interest in Linnet's money, but became an accessory to her murder for the love of a selfish and mercenary man. In this film, Jackie's just as cold-blooded and mercenary as Simon, and IS out for Linnet's money. Andrew dropping the rock on Simon and Linnet is mentioned to be a genuine accident in the book and previous adaptations. In this version, it is purposeful, though he regrets it immediately.

Poirot's backstory as a soldier during the First World War, and his ill-fated relationship with Katherine, are also elements that are original to this film, and indeed, this version of the character.

Due to being a Composite Character with Dr. Bessner, Lord Windlesham becomes Dr. Windlesham in this adaptation, as opposed to being Idle Rich. Happens to none other than Poirot himself in the Distant Prologue. While Poirot is traditionally depicted as being a Belgian police chief prior to World War I, here he's shown to have been a soldier during the war who was aspiring to be a farmer. That said, the previous film alluded to him being a former police officer in this continuity as well. Even one of the locations is subjected to a variation of this trope: Chez Ma Tante goes from being a staid, upscale restaurant to being a nightclub.

Characters who have been adapted out include Colonel Race (with Bouc taking his role as The Watson to Poirot), the Allertons (due to being merged with Bouc and his mother), Cornelia Robson, Dr. Bressner (who is merged with Lord Windlesham), Jim Ferguson (whose characterization as an aristocrat turned Communist is given to Marie Van Schulyer, and disdain for his own aristocracy is given to Windlesham), Jim Fanthorp, Signor Richetti and Joanna Southwood. Linnet's country house, Wode Hall, is absent from this adaptation, with the first meeting between Linnet and Simon being relocated to a London nightclub instead, though it is mentioned a few times.

Andrew corrects him — he won't get a dime if she dies, but Marie Van Schuyler will. Poirot then tries the 'inheritance' line of questioning when he interrogates Marie, who frankly reminds him that she's a communist who gave away most of her money. Ultimately, Poirot is right about the motive being inheritance: Jacqueline and Simon plannet Linnet's murder so Simon would get all her money.

When Poirot reveals that she has a gun hidden in her turban Salome volunteers the information that she has used it three times. Twice in self defense and once in anger, but doesn't elaborate what either of those events entailed.

In the final scene though we see Poirot going back to the club Salome sings at a few months later and with his moustache shaved, showing his war scar, implying a Maybe Ever After for them.

It ends with Poirot visiting the same nightclub six months after solving the case, only this time he's the sole witness to Salome Otterbourne's rehearsal. The film's opening scene, set during World War I features a clean-shaven Poirot, and reveals that he chooses to grow a moustache due to a facial injury he sustained on the battlefield. By the end of the film, in the aforementioned nightclub scene, he has shaved off his moustache and his scars from the old injury are visible. Poirot grew out his signature mustache at the suggestion of Katherine, the love of his life, after Bouc, whom he loved like a little brother, was slain by the murderess, he shaves it off in grief and heartbreak.

Andrew Katchadourian, due to his Age Lift, is reimagined as Linnet's childhood friend and honorary 'Cousin', as opposed to being her father's old friend and her honorary 'Uncle'. Rosalie Otterbourne is depicted as Linnet's old schoolfriend, while in the novel she had no personal connection to Linnet. Marie Van Schuyler and Miss Bowers seemingly retain their traditional relationship as employer and nurse-companion but are later revealed to be secret lovers.

The reveal, towards the end of the film, that Poirot was hired to investigate the Otterbournes at Euphemia Bouc's behest further adds to the atmosphere of distrust. Exaggerated by the fact that the person who stole Linnet's necklace and the third murder victim in this adaptation are none other than Poirot's old friend Bouc, which emotionally shatters the detective and makes the case much more personal for him.

Death on the Nile (2022) / int_82a64c4b	comment	Adaptational Nice Guy: Linnet Doyle comes across as a more sympathetic character here than she did in the original novel and previous adaptations. She genuinely feels at least somewhat apologetic for taking her friend Jackie's fiancee from her, but makes a valid point that Simon shouldn't be forced to be with someone he no longer loves. In her last conversation with Jackie, she even makes an attempt at reconciliation. She also seems more sad, than bitter, about the fact that her wealth potentially damages all her relationships. We later learn from Rosalie how Linnet befriending her at school paved the way for her to be accepted by the other girls too. Happens to Marie Van Schuyler as well. As opposed to the novel's portrayal of her as a snobbish and tyrannical rich widow who runs roughshod over her nurse-companion Miss Bowers and her cousin Cornelia, here she is presented as being a socialist who has given away much of her fortune and seems to genuinely believe in her stated political leanings. She also seems to have genuine feelings for Linnet, her goddaughter. And while she still plays the demanding boss to Miss Bowers it's later revealed to be a cover for the fact that they are in a relationship. A downplayed example with Salome Otterbourne. The original version isn't a bad person, but she is The Alcoholic who's obsessed with talking about sex, and consequently has a somewhat troubled relationship with Rosalie.

However, electric guitars did begin to be used in the early 1930s and Charlie Christian was using one in jazz clubs in 1936. It's thus logical Salome, an experienced musician, would be adapting to the use of one as well.

In the book they have never met each other, due to Bouc being from a different Poirot story altogether.

In the book and previous adaptations Van Schuyler treats Miss Bowers terribly, never wasting any opportunity to bully and demean her nurse. Here the "demanding boss" aspect is just a cover up for their secret lesbian romance.

However, he demands the waiter take one away because he cannot arrange seven plates on his table in a pleasing matter. The remaining six plates he arranges into a pyramid. While welcoming everyone on board the Karnak, Linnet is startled by a loud popping noise that turns out to be Simon opening a champagne bottle. The sound mimics that of a gunshot, and Simon is the one who shoots her. When Jacqueline rails at him in the bar, Simon scoffs "get ready, she's about to do a scene." Sure enough the whole thing turns out to be a performance of her "shooting" him. Linnet and Jacqueline met during a school production of Antony and Cleopatra where Linnett was Cleopatra. Just like those lovers, both of them, and Simon, end up dead in a twisted romance. Jacqueline repeatedly mentions how she cannot live without Simon and speaks of killing herself if she can't be with him. After everyone's return from the Temple of Abu Simbel and the noting of how strong the love of Rameses II was for his queen Nefertari, so much so they are depicted together forever on the exterior of the temple, Jackie tells Poirot that pharaoh's wives were buried alive with them so that they could be together in the afterlife. This again is foretelling Jackie and Simon's murder-suicide so that they too will be together in death. Louise's body is found with the money used to pay her off still in her hand. The person who paid her had enough money that they didn't need to take it back before dumping the body, eliminating at least half of the suspects on the boat. Poirot tearfully telling Jacqueline the story of his lost love Katherine on the night of Linnet's murder, which he blames on the champagne. It wasn't entirely the champagne's fault—he was also drugged by Simon.

Salome and Rosalie Otterbourne are African-Americans, rather than being white Englishwomen. The supposed motive Salome had for killing Linnet is linked to a racist incident Salome was the victim of in 1925 because of Linnet. The Caucasian American Andrew Pennington becomes the Armenian Andrew Katchadourian. The reason he gives for leaving his .45 in his room, despite being in a ship with a killer, is that he feared that if the authorities found a "brown man with a gun" on board when they got to port he'd be shot on sight.

However she ends up being killed by Jacqueline after witnessing Linnet's killer in the act, and attempting to extort them with her silence. Early on, someone attempts to kill Simon and Linnet by dropping a boulder on top of them, but this ends up being unrelated to Linnet's murder—while Andrew Katchadourian did try to kill them with a boulder, he regretted it afterwards, and he wasn't the one who shot Linnet.

Bouc once again acts as The Watson to Poirot, a role that was filled by Colonel Race in the novel. He also serves as Rosalie Otterbourne's love interest, a role fulfilled by Tim Allerton in the novel, and like Allerton is the one who steals Linnet's jewels. He also replaces Salome Otterbourne as the witness to the second murder and the third murder victim. Ms. Van Schuyler takes on Mr Fergunson's role as an ardent communist criticizing the passengers. Bowers takes on Cornelia Robson's role as a formerly wealthy person whose family was ruined by Linnet's father. Doctor Windlesham is a combination of Lord Charles Windlesham, Linnet's nobleman former fiancé, and Doctor Carl Bessner, the only physician among the Karnak's passengers who acts as ad hoc coroner.

Death on the Nile (2022) / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: Poirot, of course, is a master of it. He realizes that the bed in Bowers' room looks perfectly made in the bedspread style that was used when they first boarded and not the hospital-corner style that's been in use since they departed. This leads him to conclude that Bowers was with Van Schuyler as they're actually lovers. He sees that Bouc's mother painted him wearing a green coat, rather than red because her red paint was missing. That leads him to realize it was used by Simon to fake his "shooting." While Andrew Katchadourian and Dr. Windlesham are fighting, he leans back against a bulkhead that was splattered with Louise's blood and sees there's a man-shaped gap in the droplets, leading him to conclude somebody witnessed the murder. He realizes that Bouc knows more than he's telling about the murders when Bouc insists on contacting Louise's ex to tell him that she's dead and realizes that he didn't wake Linnet when Simon was shot is because he already knew she was dead (though he isn't the killer).
