Four and a half stars, it's been a long time since I watched this kind of slightly niche literary film. The BBC perfectly restored the most simple and true Sherlock Holmes under the tide of such an overwhelming myth of Sherlock Holmes. It is invaluable!
Perhaps the last thing people want to accept is the story of the twilight of the hero: watching the heroes who once created the legend are now old and frail, walking out of the old house on crutches, still gasping for breath The rudeness is undoubtedly a heavy blow to those fans in the past. It was like a sudden slap that mercilessly fanned us back to reality.
Sherlock Holmes can't escape the passing of the years. At the age of 93, his body is getting weaker and his memory is also seriously declining, but after a lifetime of loneliness, he finally realizes that logic can't control everything, and human nature is the most indispensable. Dot. The picture of the film is very beautiful, whether it is a park covered with bright green vegetation or a suburban path covered with flowers of various colors, it exudes a quiet and natural fresh breath. The soundtrack of the film is also very delicate, the violins are interlaced, sometimes lively, sometimes soft and sad, so that the audience's emotions can be easily aroused. In addition, the meticulous performance of the old actor Ian McLean is perfect, and the performance of the young actor Milo Parker is also staggering. Perhaps the only shortcoming of the film is the lack of bright spots, but it is already an extremely beautiful enjoyment for me to be able to calm down and enjoy this film in my spare time.

    Three and a half stars; "The crown covers the capital, and the people are alone and haggard", but he is famous all over the world, but he has never been able to find a soulmate who fits his soul. Even Watson is put on a more ideal coat by the world; he looks back in the form of flashback and text. Summarizing the life statement, the three stories blend memories and reality into a self-convincing process close to the wild strawberry style, "the deceased are not terrible, they are just on the other side of the wall".

    The prose style of the film, the rhythm and narrative is simply terrible, the story is not so good, high IQ can not beat the age. This is basically a nonsense, and I did not see any touch. It is an attempt to explore the inner world of Sherlock Holmes. In fact, in the end A mediocre literary film that doesn't solve anything.

Mr. Holmes quotes

  • [solving his last "case"]

    Sherlock Holmes: The bees... didn't do it. The bees were not to blame. It was the wasps! Roger was trying to find out what was killing the bees. And he did. He found the wasps' nest. He had to stop them wiping out the bees. And so he did the worst possible thing. He tried to drown them with water from his can.

    Mrs. Munro: How do you know it was them?

    Sherlock Holmes: Bees leave their stings. Wasps don't. There were no stings left in Roger's face. And when they attacked, he dropped the watering can and ran up to protect the bees. There are his footprints from the apiary to the nest and back.

    Mrs. Munro: He was trying to save the bees.

    Sherlock Holmes: Yes.

    [Together, they pour kerosene on the wasps' nest, and set it ablaze]

  • [waiting with Mrs. Munro outside Roger's hospital room]

    Sherlock Holmes: There was a woman, once. I knew her less than a day. A quarter of an hour's conversation. She needed my help. She needed so desperately to be understood by someone... Me. So, I laid out the particulars of her case as I saw them... To her satisfaction, I thought. I watched her walk away. And within hours she'd ended her life. By identifying the cause of her despair with such clarity, I'd given her carte blanche to do just as she intended. I should've done whatever it took to save her. Lie to her, make up a story. Take her by the hand and hold her as she wept, and said, "Come live with me. "Let us be alone together." But I was fearful. Selfish. She's the reason I came here to my bees, so that I couldn't harm anyone ever again.

    [pause]

    Sherlock Holmes: I'm leaving you the house. You and Roger. House, grounds, apiary, everything within and without. And as I shan't change my mind on this point, you will see, I trust, that it will be greatly less complicated for all concerned if the two of you don't go off to somewhere like... Portsmouth.
