折り返し地点を過ぎました！
映画が始まって、事件が勃発してから
メインテーマ流れますよね！そこへ来ると
私にとっては「スターウォーズ」のメインテーマくらいに
テンションが上がります♬
2011年 第15作 『沈黙の15分（クオーター）』
都知事を狙った地下鉄爆破テロの関連先として
コナン達はダム移設の式典に沸く新潟の雪国へ向かいます
そこでは村の移設を巡る幼馴染らの因縁が渦巻いており
やがてダムを巻き込む未曾有の大事件へと発展します
この映画はツッコミどころ満載で楽しい作品でした♪
灰原が、「博士が行くなら私も行く」と、表向きは
博士の食生活の監視という理由でしたが
コナンのそばにいたい、彼が心配だからサポートしたい
という気持ちが見え隠れしていました…
なにげにジャケットもピンクとブルーで色違いの
ペアルックか⁈ と思いましたもん
さらにスノボの2人乗りも多くて、相棒感と
お似合い感が詰まってました
この2人、対等な知性の持ち主同士でもあるし
元に戻った時も、最強でお似合いのカップルなんじゃ
ないのかな〜 実際、新一を1番ピンチの時に支えているのは
灰原だし、どちらかといえば蘭は人質ポジションじゃん〜
でもさ、男の人って最後は
蘭みたいな女性の膝枕を選ぶんだよな…
まず違和感アリアリだったのが、会ったばかりのコナンや
おっちゃんたちに自分たちの犯罪を含む過去を
語りだす地元の同級生たち‼︎ わざわざ丁寧に
ご説明いただき、誠にありがとうございます
って気分でした
そして8年も寝たきりだった人が
いきなり立てますか⁈
コナンのスノボ技術はオリンピック出れる！
あんな簡単に雪崩れは起こせるの⁈
雪崩に巻き込まれて放り出されたケータイが
コナン用でよかったですね〜〜もし新一用だったら
また別のエンディングが待っていたでしょう…
ストーリーの初めの方で新一用をバイブに設定したのは
雪に埋まって意識が遠のく中
振動で起こすためだったのですね🎶
2012年 第16作 『11人目のストライカー』
サッカースタジアムを狙った連続爆破事件が発生
犯人からの暗号を解読しながら
コナンは爆発を阻止しようと奔走します
タイムリミットが迫る中、多くの観客の命を守るため
決死の推理と行動で事件に挑みます
これは実在のJリーグクラブや選手が多数登場するため
サッカーファンからは「お祭り映画」として
好評だったらしいですね
ただ、現役選手が本人役の声で出演したんですけど
棒読みすぎて内容が頭に入ってこなかったとか（笑）
ま、私個人としてはなぞなぞ好きの犯人と
安定のプラスチック爆弾事件が絡む
コナン映画の１つ、でした
それより最近のコナン映画で感じるのは
一言二言しかしゃべらない子供や一般人のセリフもまた
とんでもなく棒読みなことです。予算ないのか⁈
コナンが最後に犯人に向かって
サッカーを愛するとは何か、みたいなことを
珍しく熱くベラベラとしゃべってましたね
「自分が愛しているものを、憎しみの道具にしてはいけない」
という普遍的な話で、サッカーをよく知らない私でも
うん、そうだよな、いい話聞けたなって気分でした
ただコナン映画ではけっこうな割合で、犯人が愛していたものや
人生を懸けてきたものを、復讐の道具にしてしまうパターンが
あるように思うのです。。。
2013年 第17作 『絶海の探偵（プライベート・アイ）』
護衛艦の体験航海に参加したコナンたち
しかし艦内で自衛官の遺体が発見され
さらに国家機密を狙うスパイ「X」の存在が判明します
海上自衛隊全面協力のもと、コナンが日本の危機に立ち向かう！
今回、コナンはみんなにやたらトイレが近いと思われた
ハズです
蘭が、光彦から防水電波時計を借りたのはすかさずチェック！
これは終盤、絶対後で使うやつだ！わざわざカメラが寄った
小道具はあとで活躍するの分かってるけど
問題は、どう使われるか、なんですよね
だからおっちゃんの悪趣味金ピカ名刺もチェック
してましたが、最後に蘭の命を救う鍵になるとは。。。
その前のコナンの「らああああああああん！！」の
絶叫も、蘭の意識を取り戻すために欠かせないのでしょう
どうしたって聞こえるわけないけど、蘭が新一の存在を
強く感じて、最後の力を振り絞ったという演出なんでしょうね
大人になるということは、こういう熱いシーンに
頭に？マークがともって入り込めなくなることのようです
大人達がコナンをただ者ではないと感じ「お前は誰だ？」
というような質問をすることがありますよね
普段は「江戸川コナン。探偵さ」と返していて
私はいつも違和感を感じています
ここでの「〜さ」という終助詞は、当然・主張の
「〜さ」で、「そんなの当たり前」「言わなくても分かる」
というニュアンスを込めて、自分の意見を言う使い方です
実際の会話よりは、フィクションで男性が使う言葉として
書かれていることが多くて、自信家っぽく聞こえるんですね
アニメでコナンが言ってるのを聞くと
「ガキのくせにキザだな〜（笑）」という印象です
でも「工藤新一。高校生探偵さ」だったら
ステキ♡になるでしょうか♪
誰が言うかが大事！似合ってるかどうかが大事‼︎
でも今回の「江戸川コナン。ただの小学1年生さ」
は、「どーせ探偵って言うんだろ〜」の予想から
意表を突かれて、ちょっとカッコよかったですね
We’ve passed the halfway point!
After the movie begins and the case unfolds, the Detective Conan main theme starts playing, right?
Whenever that moment comes, my excitement rises to the same level as when I hear the main theme of Star Wars. 🎶
2011 – The 15th Movie: Quarter of Silence
After a subway bombing targeting the Governor of Tokyo, Conan and his friends travel to a snowy village in Niigata connected to the case. The village is celebrating the opening ceremony of a relocated dam, but beneath the celebration lies a long-standing conflict between childhood friends over the village’s relocation.
Before long, the conflict develops into an unprecedented disaster involving the dam itself.
This movie was full of things to laugh about and enjoy!♪
Haibara says, “If Professor Agasa is going, I’m going too.” On the surface, she says it is because she needs to keep an eye on the Professor’s diet, but it also reveals her true feelings: she wants to stay close to Conan, worries about him, and wants to support him.
I even wondered if their jackets were secretly matching outfits, with Conan wearing blue and Haibara wearing pink!
There are also many scenes where they ride a snowboard together, which really highlights their teamwork and their unique bond.
They are both highly intelligent and understand each other on an equal level. Sometimes I think that if they ever returned to their original forms, they would make a surprisingly perfect pair. After all, Haibara is the one who supports Shinichi the most when he is at his most vulnerable.
But in the end… maybe guys choose someone like Ran — someone who can give them the warmth and comfort of resting their head on her lap.
Now, here come my usual movie questions!
The biggest thing that made me laugh was how the childhood friends immediately started telling Conan and Kogoro their entire past — including their crimes — even though they had only just met.
Thank you very much for the detailed explanation of your entire criminal history!
Also… can someone who has been bedridden for eight years really stand up immediately like that?!
Conan’s snowboarding skills are definitely Olympic-level!
Can a snow avalanche really be triggered that easily?
And luckily, the phone thrown away by the avalanche was Conan’s phone. If it had been Shinichi’s phone, we might have gotten a completely different ending…
The reason Shinichi’s phone was set to vibrate early in the story was finally revealed — it was there to wake Conan up when he was buried under the snow and losing consciousness. 🎶
2012 – The 16th Movie: The Eleventh Striker
A series of bomb attacks targeting soccer stadiums takes place.
While decoding the clues left behind by the criminal, Conan races against time to prevent further explosions.
With the lives of countless spectators at stake, he uses his brilliant deduction and takes desperate action to solve the case.
Because many real J.League clubs and players appear in the movie, it seems to be popular among soccer fans as a kind of “festival movie.”
However, the real players also provided their own voices, and some viewers felt that their acting sounded so unnatural that it was difficult to focus on the story.
Personally, though, I saw it as another classic Conan movie featuring a riddle-loving criminal and the usual plastic explosives!
What I have noticed in recent Conan movies is that even the lines of children or ordinary background characters, who only appear for a few seconds, sometimes sound surprisingly unnatural.
Do they not have enough budget for voice actors?!
At the end of the movie, Conan gives the criminal a surprisingly passionate speech about what it means to truly love soccer.
His message was simple but powerful:
“You should never turn something you love into a tool for hatred.”
Even though I’m not very familiar with soccer, I found myself thinking, “Yes, that’s absolutely true.” It was a meaningful message.
However, I have noticed that many Conan movies follow a similar pattern: the criminal ends up using something they once loved, or something they devoted their entire life to, as a tool for revenge…
2013 – The 17th Movie: Private Eye in the Distant Sea
Conan and his friends take part in a special voyage aboard a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer.
However, a body is discovered on board, and they also learn about the existence of a spy known as “X” who is targeting national secrets.
With the full cooperation of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Conan faces a crisis threatening Japan itself!
This time, everyone must have thought Conan had an unusually frequent need to use the restroom!
I immediately noticed when Ran borrowed a waterproof radio clock from Mitsuhiko.
That was definitely going to be important later!
Whenever the camera focuses on a certain object in a movie, you already know it will be used later. The real question is not whether it will appear again, but how it will become important.
That’s why I was also keeping an eye on Kogoro’s flashy gold business cards… but I never expected them to become the key to saving Ran’s life at the end!
Before that, Conan’s famous scream:
“Raaaaaaan!!”
was also an essential part of the scene. Of course, realistically, there is no way Ran could have heard him from that distance. But I think the scene was meant to show that Ran felt Shinichi’s presence and used her final strength to survive.
Maybe growing older means that sometimes your logical adult brain interrupts emotional scenes with a big question mark.
There are times when adults realize Conan is not an ordinary child and ask him questions like, “Who are you really?”
Usually, Conan answers:
「江戸川コナン。探偵さ」
“Edogawa Conan. I’m a detective.”
I have always found that line interesting.
The Japanese sentence-ending particle “sa” adds a feeling of confidence and certainty. It can sound like “Of course,” or “Isn’t that obvious?” It is more common in fictional dialogue than in everyday conversation, especially when writing a confident male character.
So when Conan says it, I sometimes think:
“Wow, he’s just a kid, but he sounds so cool and a little arrogant!”
However, if Shinichi said:
「工藤新一。高校生探偵さ」
“Kudo Shinichi. I’m a high school detective.”
That would sound completely different.
It might actually be cool and charming. ♡
Who says the line matters. Whether it suits the person matters!
But this time, when Conan said:
“Edogawa Conan. I’m just a first-grade elementary school student.”
he surprised me. I was expecting the usual “I’m a detective” line, so this unexpected answer was actually pretty cool.
