Britain repelled the Spanish Armada at the Battle of Gravelines in 1588, the first industrial revolution in the 1760s, known as the "Empire on which the Sun Never Sets", colonies spread over 24 time zones, and the Queen's orders spread to five continents, accounting for A quarter of the world's total land area, controlling global trade, the first such a huge and brilliant civilization system in history. What changed this pattern was two world wars, political and economic decline first, and cultural decline in the end, and Holmes' aging is an excellent analogy. At the end of World War I, Americans often came to 221B Baker Street for pilgrimage, when he was still an idol; at the end of World War II, he needed to go to Japan to investigate some health preservation methods, such as royal jelly and Fujisan pepper. It goes back to 1903 when the letter was written, when the image of Sherlock Holmes was on the rise, and Matsuda claimed to have consulted him before choosing to leave his wife and children irresponsibly in the UK; Even his housekeeper hates him in the pastoral fields of the county, and hopes that his son can stay away.

Royal jelly comes from bees, they kill people and make people live longer; Fujisan pepper comes from Hiroshima, Japan, a miniature garden, where the atomic bomb has just been dropped is the place of death. Like Mrs. Keller said, there is only a wall between the dead and you. She died thirty-five years ago. Sherlock Holmes lived ninety-three years ago, but they are only separated by a wall. John, Mycroft , Mrs. Hudson is. The story cares about the art of beekeeping, because that's how Sherlock Holmes gets along with himself, allowing himself to remember the past at the border of death. He had been mistaking himself for living his life alone, and that John probably never existed.

This film overturned the relationship between Hua Fu. Sherlock thought that Watson didn't know him all his life, and he didn't show up when the latter died. It also subverted the last case, and it was almost the easiest time to uncover the truth in his career, Morrie Professor Artie does not have to be the last enemy of Sherlock Holmes, but should be completed by a little-known role; the most important thing is to subvert the stereotyped image of a genius as a lunatic in detective dramas, and his character is no longer extreme, at least thirty-five years later. Such. What this unique story wants to express is told through the mouth of Sherlock Holmes, Watson has created a false him, from his clothes to the final case, those carefully conceived details, extremely exaggerated rhetoric. Sherlock didn't understand why Watson lied, but thirty-five years later, he also changed, and seemed to understand Watson's intentions a little bit. This change may not be serious enough for other characters, but he is Sherlock Holmes, so the film's task is extremely difficult, it needs to prove to the audience that these three things can change him, and the result is disappointing.

Of course it's possible that Watson has always been right, that lies are better than truth, but I don't agree with the way these three stories are proven. The solution of the Japanese line is very blunt, the dramatic function is too strong to be embarrassing, and it has little effect on Mr. Holmes's change of mind; although Mrs. Keller's railroad suicide is shocking, it is not a lie or the truth in my opinion These superficial things led to her suicide; the beekeeper line also failed to complete its human drama arc, but the housekeeper was even more impersonal than him. After all the past has been traced back, I don't know if Holmes himself would wonder why it is what it is, but I am puzzled.

The movie still strikes me because the character on the screen is Sherlock Holmes, emaciated, with memory loss and sluggishness, in these flowing images. The same is true for the last of the old British culture of this era. The flashbacks are still in front of you, as if helplessly watching a door slowly close. How credit is ranked: Arthur Conan Doyle. Ian McLean. Cattleville. Bill Conton. Mitch Cullin.

Mr. Holmes quotes

  • Sherlock Holmes: I was given a small chest containing the Watson stories, none of which I'd ever actually read. They were, as John always described them, penny dreadfuls with an elevated prose style.

  • Sherlock Holmes: Exceptional children are often the product of unremarkable parents.
