as true as a biography

In the afternoon, I just reviewed "Sherlock", and at night I opened "Mr. Sherlock" by coincidence.
In a trance, it seemed that Holmes had really crossed the years, and he was so old that he was in high spirits.
In the story of Sherlock Holmes, everyone is trying to slowly dig out the delicacy of human nature under the surface of this well-known detective. I am a little confused. Sherlock Holmes is really such a person who is completely unreasonable, ignores human nature, and completely pursues pureness. Real and rational people?
In "The Detective Sherlock", under the interpretation of Cum Fu, this characteristic of his has become a factor that is loved by the audience and cannot be stopped. And the wonderful humanity that is guided by Dr. Watson and slowly infiltrated step by step is the trick that moves the audience.
In "mr holmes", Sherlock Holmes was very lonely all his life, until he was 93 years old, until his memory faded, his actions were slow, and he was like a dead tree, and then he slowly reached a reconciliation with himself and slowly penetrated the truth he was pursuing. A delicate balance with complex human nature. He finally let go of his pride and turned into an old man who peacefully waited for his death.
This authenticity makes the TV series seem a little frivolous.
As Sherlock Holmes himself felt when watching his own films in the cinema, the drama that people seek is nothing but false truth, and the true self dismisses it.
After watching "mr holmes", I felt like I watched a biographical movie.
It was as if she saw Sherlock Holmes standing in the east wind.

Mr. Holmes quotes

  • Roger: She wants me to be a bootblack!

    Mrs. Munro: Roger!

    Roger: She wants me to do what she does!

    Mrs. Munro: There's no shame in what I do!

    Roger: You complain enough about it! Always going on about how hard things are.

    [to Holmes]

    Roger: She can barely read!

    [Mrs. Munro storms out of the room]

    Roger: People always say that.

    Sherlock Holmes: Because it's true.

    Roger: Do *you* regret anything?

    Sherlock Holmes: [with feeling] So much.

  • Mrs. Munro: Your dad hated what he did for a living. Mechanic in a garage, like his dad before him. When he got called up, he said to me, "My love, I'll not spend this war "underneath the oil pan of some toff's jeep. "I'm gonna put in for the RAF." So he did. He trained. Scored high marks, got assigned to a Bristol Blenheim, Mark IV. Blown out of the sky. First time up. All his mates who worked the motor pool came home without a scratch.
