Movie Notes: Mr. Holmes

People get old, even the wisest Mr. Holmes can't avoid it.

"I can't remember at all."

It's such a terrible feeling, and it's a shame for Holmes.

He is getting more and more forgetful, and can only rely on secretly writing other people's names on his cuffs to avoid sudden forgetting. The diary used to record the condition of amnesia, the black dots that represent the moment of forgetting are getting more and more dense, so scary and scary.

But for the twilight Holmes, there is also a good thing, that he has finally learned not only to be invincible in his head, to reveal all the truth ruthlessly, even at the cost of grief, but to learn to be compassionate. A soft heart appreciates the pain of others, and does not hesitate to make up some white lies in order to help others. Sherlock Holmes is finally no longer a reasoning machine, but a human being.

It's so touching when he says "let's be alone together."

PS likes Sherlock Holmes's home very much, and likes his study most. Those books, ink bottles, and cabinets from the past are really exquisite. After a while, I manually cut some movie pictures to make wallpapers.

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.
