The Self-Redemption of Old Sherlock Holmes

After watching this movie with the feeling of watching a "suspense movie", I realized that it is a warm movie.
This is a film about the self-redemption of an old Sherlock Holmes, interspersed with several stories, who chooses self-imposed exile after failing to save the life of a lonely wife, and arrives at an old age because he cannot remember the reasons why he gave up his detective career. Japan pursues the "Iwasan pepper" that can delay aging, just to be able to write down the true ending of the case that was finally solved in his life. The story unfolds slowly. I originally thought I would see the solution of an unsolved case, but I inadvertently watched the inner transformation of the old Sherlock Holmes and the redemption of himself. After reading it, I felt a little helpless and a little sighed, but I also felt very warm.
Human nature cannot be explained by logic, and it is great to see that Sherlock Holmes can finally step down from the altar and have a little "humanity" when he is old.

    The actor's translation is very good! The plot is the same as Sherlock Holmes!

    The detective's whole life is swallowed by logic, and he finally realizes his emotions at the end of his life. He finally has these, but it is like a young woman getting a belated childhood doll. After suffering for it all my life, I finally owned it, but it was useless. The movie is sad, lengthy, heavy, and mourning. Impressive, but boring. The first half was a bit of a chore, and in the second half there was a vague sense of impact.

    Sherlock Holmes: [smiles] Because when you're a detective, and a man comes to see you, it's usually about his wife.
