Since ancient times, the beauty has sighed for twilight, and the hero is not allowed to see the white head.

This answer was originally written in the middle of the movie. The aging Sherlock Holmes talked about the alienation from Watson, the death of Watson, and the unspoken goodbye. At this moment, this movie brought me all despair. The detective Sherlock Holmes that exists in my heart is not a projection of Yusaku Kudo from the undead on Baker Street, not a blessing resurrected in the 21st century, and not a little Downey who is blocking and killing God. He has been confronting his old enemy Moriati on the edge of Reichenbach in the illustrations, and his best friend Watson, who is desperately arriving, can only find his suicide note in the end. This should have been the perfect farewell between the hero Sherlock Holmes and his close friend Watson. However, in the movie, Holmes still lived alone for more than thirty years after Watson's death. The hero is deconstructed, the perfect farewell does not exist, and everyone's life is always full of regrets and regrets. But after watching the ending, I can't say that this movie simply talks about the beauty and the end of the hero. The boy’s rehabilitation represents new life and hope, and the memorial at the end represents memory and forgiveness. In the final analysis, this movie classified as a suspense drama is just like Wong Kar-wai is classified as a master of kung fu movies.

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]

    Sherlock Holmes: Go after her. Apologize for saying things that were meant to hurt. You were cruel! If you don't apologize, you will regret it.

    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.
