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.

    Sherlock Holmes, who was lonely and aging, faced death, finally gave up logic and told a lie. Knowing that love will inevitably bring harm, but no longer afraid to love. This is not a reasoning movie, but an old-age healing movie, but the protagonist is Sherlock Holmes. Because there are so many beautiful shots, add one star.

    Three and a half stars, from god to man, delicate and sincere. Self-confessed shrewd life, twilight years to understand the subtleties of the heart. It's not that Watson doesn't understand you, it's just like your own final compromise, reconciling with the world and comforting others with lies that you once disdained

    Sherlock Holmes: You shouldn't do that. Tap the glass.

    Boy: How did you know I was going to?

    Boy's Mother: You must forgive my son, he loves bees.

    Sherlock Holmes: It isn't a bee, it's a wasp. Different thing entirely.

    Roger: [explaining to his mother the same way Mr. Holmes explained to him] The queen runs the colony. Drones service the queen. The workers do the work.

    Mrs. Munro: Isn't it true...
