Loneliness, in our life, is both the antidote and the poison.

The horror of aging is that it will gradually deprive you of the proud self that you once had.

Sherlock Holmes in the impression is omnipotent, with sharper insight than ordinary people, memory comparable to a computer, and excellent logical analysis ability , so for us, it's hard to imagine what an aging Sherlock Holmes looks like. So when I first watched this movie, it really gave people a miserable feeling. When he was young, he was arrogant because he was arrogant. He was able to enjoy this kind of loneliness because of his talent and ability to accompany him. So in his last case, when faced with Mrs. Kelmot's cry for help, he chose to avoid it. Maybe at that time, he didn't really understand what she was facing. What loneliness is, losing children one after another into inextricable pain, her husband's incomprehension (even asking a private detective to follow her), these seemingly not enough blows to give up life, but step by step pushed her to a dead end.
So when, after a few years, his ability degenerated to the point where he had to write his name on his sleeve to remind himself, even if he couldn't remember the case that made him finally decide to wash his hands, he seemed to be doing everything possible to get rid of it. In retrospect. Perhaps in order to complete self-rescue, perhaps in the dark, he felt that he now had a certain resonance with Mrs. Kelmot at that time: aging seemed to have slowly pushed him into a corner.

Loneliness, in our In life, it is both an antidote and a poison.

Knowing that enjoying loneliness is a noble thing, but being able to enjoy loneliness may mean that you have not really fallen to the bottom. Being alive may be accompanied by death, and having someone by your side to accompany you is both a comfort and an encouragement. This may be why little Roger's company outweighs the effects of royal jelly and sansho, allowing him to recall the entire case smoothly.

Human nature is mystery that logic alone could not illuminate.

Just as sansho grew in Hiroshima, which was baptized by the atomic bomb, life itself may have the power to heal itself. So when Sherlock looked back on the past, everything seemed to be back on track. He was no longer obsessed with being true to reality, and he also learned to tell some white lies to comfort the Umesaki mother and son who lost her husband. As he said, "One shouldn't leave this life without a sense of completion." Even if there is a compromise, there is a mission that must be completed in life.
