I haven't watched a certain debate variety show on weekdays. I happened to watch a thriller with my friends last night. I wanted to find a funny video to slow down. I watched a random episode after repeated recommendations from my friends.
The debate in that episode was called "Should you look at your partner's phone?" Ma Weiwei represented the positive and I was deeply impressed by the passage against the opponent's "sense of security" argument: "Boys must have a sense of responsibility. The most basic sense of responsibility for a man is Don’t let people discover it.” (Note 1) She meant that you can be ambiguous, but if you steal food outside, at least wipe your mouth clean before entering the house. I would rather you cheat me out, wash my face, rinse my mouth, brush my teeth, and then come back to kiss me in order not to let me know. I don’t want to see you so big, wearing a shirt with her lipstick, hugging me and saying sorry , Even if you have no feelings for her sincerely.
Although I did not agree with her point of view, I remembered this sentence after watching the movie tonight.
It doesn’t seem to matter too much. One argued about the relationship between lovers, and the other was a life-savvy detective who had solved countless cases of IQ and disregarded the universe. He fabricated a story for Mr. Umezaki in Japan in his old age. In this story , Umezaki's father is legendary.
Just like a woman in love, even if she knows that it is not true, she still needs a man to swear sweet words every day and swear to love you forever. Compared with the truth, the human heart sometimes needs a lie to be comforted. Too blunt honesty is just a sharp knife.
Sherlock Holmes, who was too smart, could see the reality and the truth, but didn't understand the despair that Ann Kelmot had when she poured out the poison in the bottle. With a keen sense of observation, he can see through Umezaki's so-called "Royal Jelly" which has been in the collection for 20 years. In fact, it was only recently brought from the library, but he did not know how to be considerate of his search for the answer to his father for 20 years. Despair without gain.
This Sherlock Holmes was old, with age spots on his forehead, and he needed to walk on crutches. He had many rules, and he did not show mercy to the housekeeper. The doctor came to see him, gave him a diary, and asked him to draw a mark once a day when he couldn't remember something. He disdainfully talked back, if I forgot to draw it.
But the fact is that Lian Po is old. He was smoked and lost consciousness. The doctor came and saw the diary on the table, densely packed with circles that he wrote down. In fact, as early as when he went to Japan, he had to secretly write the client's name on the sleeve of his shirt with a pencil. When he couldn't remember, he glanced at it, it was like cheating.
How could this be the magical Sherlock Holmes described by Conan Doyle. How could this be the Sherlock Holmes described in Watson's novel. The Sherlock Holmes in the movie is too real, like countless close-ups of his face, those wrinkles and spots, his messy white hair and sluggish eyes, but he is just an elderly grandfather with a decline in memory in a nursing home. In the original book, he is always upright and proud, and his mouth is unsatisfactory. Here, he even said the wrong client's name. The little boy corrected him. He was stunned, sitting in a chair blankly with his mouth open.
Because of the death of Ann Kelmot, Holmes realized that this woman needed more understanding and companionship at the time. He didn't understand. He thought he had clearly seen the woman's motivation to commit suicide by poisoning, and he still persuaded her to go back to her husband. He saw her as a case, but ignored her as a person. Umezaki read the letter from his father to Holmes. He didn't understand how he felt as a son, and said bluntly, "I really don't know your father." He always disliked Watson and twisted the facts. In the novel, he was wearing that famous detective hat with a pipe between them; the real he was just wearing an ordinary top hat, and his true love was Cigar. But at the end of the story, he admitted that Watson's talent as a writer was what Holmes had always lacked.
The human mind cannot be read, it can only be felt and understood. A person is not a math problem, not a murder case. Sherlock Holmes in the movie finally sent a letter to Umezaki. The letter was not true, but the answer Umezaki needed to hear most for a long time: Your father is a respectable person, and his name is a legend. . (Note 2)

Note 2: I don’t remember the specific wording in the movie. The original text of the novel is "Your father," he would tell Mr. Umezaki, "was highly respected by the British government, but for the elders of Rarotonga— and those on the surrounding islands old enough His name IS Legendary remember- to.

another, After watching the movie, I thought the "Glass Piano Case" was from the collection of Detective Cases written by Conan Doyle, but after searching online, the case was also from "Mind Tricks." The movie itself is adapted from the novel.
