The evaluation of the script is naturally part of the evaluation of a movie. I personally think that this three-line story is a successful arrangement, especially for movies. Under the elegant and soothing style of the film, if the story is thin and boring, the viewing effect will probably be to make the audience half-asleep and half-awake in the pleasing picture. Although the charm of the main actors is completely and perfectly responsible for the appearance of this movie, if a movie (story) named Sherlock Holmes is only presented in the form of art exhibits, there is no core to crack the strange case. The elements are a bit off topic.
Of course, this film is obviously not intended to describe a story of Sherlock Holmes that is old and strong. If the three stories of the last case, the trip to Japan, and the bee and the wasp are taken out separately, it is difficult to become a qualified old man. The story, because the incident itself can be said to be quite plain. (I want to praise the author here. In the movie, there is a plot of Lao Fu watching the movie version of the last case in the cinema. It tells us how the case in Peanut's pen is written. It can be said that it is a Sherlock Holmes case. It is the "Holmes Detective Collection" written by Peanut that we are familiar with. This comparison is more ingenious than symbolic expressions such as deerstalker hats or smoking pipes, and it also shows that the author himself is not unable to write the "real" Sherlock Holmes story) . However, when the three stories were interspersed with memories, they made up the right length, integrating the elements of twilight, troubles and comprehension, forming a complete process.
Although this movie, or this story, is not as full of compelling wisdom and dramatic development as the Sherlock Holmes-style story I am familiar with, it has succeeded in creating a poetic flavor that makes the audience willing to wait for the ending. Atmosphere. In the process of watching a movie, you may no longer be particularly excited and anxious to know how gorgeous and clever the detective has avoided confusion and traps to find the answer, instead you will wait patiently for him to slowly find out about your own soul. Answer. After all, he is so old and staggering, you can't bear to urge him to speed up his pace.
Therefore, as long as the mentality is integrated into the rhythm of this movie, the audience can completely let themselves enjoy a melancholy and nostalgic journey. You watched the 93-year-old Sherlock Holmes walking tremblingly, but you can’t remember some trivial things. At the same time, you are looking for the British gentleman with wisdom, mobility and mystery in your heart. This feeling makes Sherlock Holmes more like a real Existing characters. It can be said that no matter when you are watching a movie, what comes up in your mind is "This tm is not Sherlock Holmes!", "Holmes will get old too", or "Will Sherlock Holmes really change?" This kind of doubt or dissatisfaction, It all makes him appear to be a person who is really alive, or a person who has lived, because you seem to have seen him solve strange cases with your own eyes, and you have witnessed him and Peanut Chuji (the fog), and you will feel more in such a story. A variety of complex emotions such as true sadness, doubt, and gratification.
I think this is the most powerful charm of a virtual character, and Holmes deserves to have such charm.
This is also a special experience that such a slow-paced movie can bring to the audience.
At the same time, I still have to say that although Peanut’s face is not revealed in the movie, a few sentences and arrangements still show the image of a best partner Gao Daquan! ! If you don’t understand, see for yourself!
Regardless of whether you like or dislike the script, I believe that no audience will be dissatisfied with Master Ian's acting skills. As long as you remember the dialogue with the little boy and mother about the bee and the wasp on the train at the beginning of the movie, you will not doubt that he used that mean tone and stern eyebrows, as well as the confident expression of the dialogue with people in the last case. , Can play an old Mr. Holmes, "Although the body is 93 years old, but the heart is 39 years old!" The tired and forgetful old man who can't bear it makes you worry about whether his health can hold the remaining progress bar at any time. I can only kneel down with this kind of skill.
The performance of the little boy is also commendable. There is a vivid image that will grow from a lively little baby to a sensitive and mean young man. The combination of the old and the young can always give people a pleasant and hopeful feeling. In addition, there are two when the story conflicts. The role's restlessness and anxiety makes it very successful to be able to play such a rivalry with the grandfather. And the role of mother, most of the time, played the role of thorns between the two people, and showed a conflicting but not annoying image at all, which also allowed her to reconcile with Lao Fu. It seems very natural.
The three times and spaces of the movie create three different environments. The bright tones of the last case allow Holmes to maintain a chic at the end of his golden age; the dim scenes of the trip to Japan make this itself seem intangible. The part of the mind always carries a mysterious color; the environment of the main line exudes a beautiful sense of reality, combined with the always clear music, linking the three short stories into a seemingly long memoir, flashing in a flash In the past 100 minutes, I seem to have slowly watched a twilight person go from regret to relief.
