Curtain, also "final curtain", Death.
“Curtain: Poirot's Last Case” is the last novel by Agatha Christie. Detective Poirot meets his final killer, then shoots him for justice, and kills himself meantime —— the only way to exit or back to his homeland. His death receives an obituary on the front page of The New York Times.
In the picture, we don’t know if this gentleman is in front of the stage or behind the stage, the pigeon appears in silence or makes a loud bang frightening the pigeon. In this homeland, you can be a murderer, or the opposite, a mastermind under the curtain.
“幕”有幕后凶手的意味,即幕后操纵的人。在阿加莎·克里斯蒂的小说《幕布》中,侦探遇到最后的凶手,“我”为正义而射杀了自己——这是唯一的出路。他的死讯登上了《纽约时报》的头版。我们不知道画面中的这位先生是在台前还是台后;鸽子是悄然出现,还是受到响声的惊吓。最后一案,你可以选择做凶手,或是与之相反的,幕后操纵之人。
