Death on the Nile is a classic murder mystery focused on individual human passions like greed and jealousy, and the pursuit of justice through deduction. Its core conflict and solution are apolitical, centering on universal themes of crime and morality rather than promoting specific political ideologies.
The movie demonstrates significant DEI through the explicit recasting of traditionally white roles with minority actors, particularly in key supporting characters. However, its narrative remains focused on the classic whodunit mystery, without explicitly centering on or critiquing traditional identities.
Death on the Nile includes a subtly depicted same-sex couple, Marie Van Schuyler and Mrs. Bowers. Their relationship is presented incidentally, without being central to the plot or a source of conflict, mockery, or special affirmation. The film neither uplifts nor denigrates their queer identity, resulting in a neutral portrayal that avoids strong positive or negative arcs.
Colonel Race, a character consistently depicted as a white British intelligence officer in Agatha Christie's novels and prior adaptations, is portrayed by a Black actress in the 2022 film.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film is an adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel. While some character details and relationships were updated, all major characters retain their original gender from the source material. No character established as one gender is portrayed as another.
