I am very happy to hear Cuanfu's low and magnetic voice again. Although Mr. Holmes is a 24-hour busy man, his speech is sometimes so fast that the subtitle team scratches his head, but his voice always makes me feel soothed and calm, for some reason. Maybe it's because I know he can handle it all?
In my case, I can give a 9 out of 10 for the plot, 6 out of special effects, and 6 out of 10 for the special effects and 6 out of the plot, I usually only give it 6 or even lower, not to mention that the audio-visual effects of this film are equally good. So if I have to score, I'll give it a 9 (in fact, I think it's a very arbitrary way to score because of the lack of uniform standards). In fact, I can give 10 points, but it will show that I have no self-control, so I will deduct 1 point. I hope that the crew will make persistent efforts and make further progress in the fourth season.
Some of the movies adapted from the play have done a lot of gimmicks, but the quality of the finished film is so poor that it makes people angry. Before watching this film, I was afraid that it would be an episode filled with water (after all, the original episode lasted nearly 1 hour, and a little bit of fiddling could make it into a feature film), as a result, the plot of this film and the Like the original show, as always, I was pleasantly surprised.
A delightful brain slaughter!
As a viewer who read through Sherlock Holmes as a child, I felt that although the first three seasons of Sherlock were wonderful, moving the story from the 19th century to the 21st century always felt a little wrong. Of course, this is undoubtedly a smart approach. Audience friends will definitely feel very cordial when they see that Sherlock Holmes also uses an iPhone like himself, not to mention that he is still ambiguous with Watson, which is more in line with the current young people. Psychological needs, thus making "Sherlock" more popular. On the other hand, "Mr. Sherlock" (starring Gandalf Magneto), which adheres to the classic flavor, is also very exciting, but it is only limited to oral sex between fans - compliments. But for an "old cannon" like me who was influenced by Sherlock Holmes in the novels since childhood, the one who walked in the thick smog of 19th century London, tall and thin, slightly hunched, hooked nose, always wore a top The old man in the deerstalker hat that covered his eyelashes was Sherlock Holmes.
In this regard, "The Evil Lady" is in line with part of my childhood reverie.
The story goes back to 1895, a bride who committed suicide a few days ago appeared in the dark streets of London and shot and killed her husband...
Facing such a bizarre case, the honest and diligent Scotland Yard policeman Lestrade Once again troubled by his mediocre IQ, he had to turn to Sherlock Holmes and his good friend Dr. Watson for help (this is almost a paragraph at the beginning of every novel in the novel, every time Sir Conan Doyle asks Restrey The description of Germany's embarrassed appearance made me laugh when I was a child), so a thrilling investigation journey began...
If you think that this investigation process is the whole of the film, then you are very wrong. , this little plot is not enough for our great detective to frown. The screenwriter is so smart, he won't put a story with only one dimension on the big screen and it's over. Although it's enough to make a trilogy for other movies, for fans of the show who have high standards and strict requirements, This is a bit uninteresting, so the screenwriter began to think about how to create more trouble for Sherlock...
I roughly analyzed the plot of the film and thought it was a double-layered structure with a single-line narrative. The clues that penetrated the two-layered structure are Title of the article - Sherlock's troubles. As for the so-called "five minutes must have a point of view", this film is simply a pediatric subject, in short, it will teach you how to write screenwriting in minutes.
At the same time, since the story of this film takes place between the third and fourth seasons, there is inevitably a kind of transition and preview, but rest assured, it will not be like "The Can't Eat Game: Mockingjay (Part 1)" ” that makes people wake up angrily in the theater, it will only make you look forward to the fourth season in astonishment and satisfaction.
——You would say that if you open your mouth and shut up and praise the screenwriter, the director will have nothing to do? yes! If you don't believe me, you can ask the fat man below if he was very busy during the shooting.
Just kidding, of course the director is also very important. If the screenwriter gave the film the soul and skeleton, the director gave the body and clothes. The use of the camera lens in this film is very smart and has a very visual impact. The sound and picture are very well matched. The restoration of the 19th century social style is infinitely close to reality (as if he was a person from that era)... In short, as a director, This guy coordinated all the elements very well, so that the audio-visual effect of this film has been upgraded from the small screen to the big screen. For a drama, this is almost all a director should do. The writer is the soul.

This film pays homage to and responds to some past Sherlock Holmes movies. In addition to its self-response to the first three seasons, it also pays homage to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (41 episodes in the UK, which aired on ITV, the UK's second largest TV station from 1984 to 1994, in which Conan Doyle personally participated in 10 episodes). screenwriter, hailed as the most authentic Sherlock Holmes by the New York Times).

In addition, it responds to "Mr. Sherlock Holmes", which focuses on the dialogue between Sherlock Holmes and Watson in the small dark room when investigating the murder of a landlord. It can be seen that this latest Sherlock Holmes movie has a certain weight in the minds of the screenwriters of this film, and those who haven't seen it may wish to watch it. Compared with other Sherlock Holmes, it is unique, long-lasting, and even tearful.

Well, I can't say more, I'm afraid I can't help revealing the delicate plot of this film, even if it's only a cent, I won't forgive myself.
