Describe the movie version of Sherlock in one sentence: This movie has everything you want to see about Sherlock Holmes, except that there is no detective!
Yes, you read that right. It's a big joke that a Sherlock Holmes movie is missing a detective.
Let us first ask a question. When we are reading detective novels or movies, what are we watching? Or what qualities should a good detective novel or movie have?
So now let's take the famous head harvester Conan as an easy-to-understand example
. The duration of an episode of Conan is about 22 minutes. Aside from the OP and ED, we count the content of the main film as 20 minutes. Most of the crimes take place in about 5 minutes, which is a quarter of the entire animation (the duration of the upper and lower episodes is different, but the proportion is roughly the same and will not be listed). After the crime, the Metropolitan Police and Maori detectives will conduct a careful survey of the scene, of course, this is of no use.
When the story continues for a quarter, that is, half of the film, Conan's glasses lenses will change from transparent to reflective, and at the same time hold his chin with one hand and often reveal an imperceptible smile. Well, that's what the picture below looks like. When this scene appears, it generally means that Conan has roughly locked the murderer and has a certain degree of certainty. Is the story over at this time? Of course not, that's only half of it!
After Conan locks the murderer, it is necessary to look for evidence to uncover the mystery. At this time, there will be a lot of close-up shots to describe the situation of Conan rummaging in the corners. Then the story continues, and about three-quarters of the way, there will be a shot of Conan's head being pierced by a silver thread, accompanied by a surprised expression like winning a lottery ticket, like the picture below.
Usually, before Conan gets headshot by the silver thread, there will be a reminder of Atom, or Xiaolan and other supporting characters intentionally or unintentionally, and thus send an assist, allowing Conan to complete all the reasoning. Next is Conan fiddling with his watch, and then the legendary sleeping Kogoro reasoning show reappears, yes, pay attention to the show.
The entire story of Conan can actually be simply divided into four parts: the appearance of the case, the targeting of the target, the search for evidence, and the deduction and deduction. These four parts are indispensable. The last two parts are the most important part of the whole story. Without the latter two parts, Conan and Mouri Kogoro would be completely incomparable, because anyone can identify the murderer, but not everyone can judge whether the identified murderer is correct and find out the corresponding evidence.
Let's take a look at the famous story "Murder on the Orient Express" by the beloved grandma Agatha.
After the first night after the great detective Poirot stepped on the train, the case happened. The train encountered a blizzard and stopped. After investigating the scene, Detective Luo began to question each passenger in the carriage one by one, which took up about half of the book, and the final climax was the reasoning part brought by Mr. Poirot, pointing out the real murderer. This is the charm of detective novels, that is, the reasoning part. It is a clear line that separates famous detectives from ordinary people. Of course, if you are an IQ person, you might as well try to find the murderer yourself before the truth is revealed. , of course, generally speaking, it is of no use, after all, you are not there.
Finally, let's talk about the real master, now let's take a look at this "Sherlock"
The background is moved back to the time of Sherlock Holmes in the book from modern times, the empire on which the sun never sets in the era of the industrial revolution, and London in the late 19th century, which is full of mists and legends. The stalks buried in the whole film can make the fans of Sherlock Holmes jump from the theater excitedly, and they can see the familiar shadows almost every minute, from the classic dialogues to the counterpoints, including almost all the small details in the books of Sherlock Holmes. , gosh, I almost cried when the Reichenbach Falls appeared! !
And as the story on the big screen started to tell, I found that the whole show was less like a case description and more like a brain-dead fan movie like a Sherlock Holmes tribute, because other than these tributes, we can't watch to the other.
Although the core case of the play also begins in about a quarter, but that's it, the main line of the story gradually deviated and became the materialist vanguard Mr. Holmes to Watson to popularize atheism.
The reasoning show of the climax part that we were all waiting for never happened, never happened at all! ! Can you comprehend the feeling of climbing up a hundred floors of stairs only to find that you don't have a door key? !
There's no reasoning show. Are you a genius detective? I would also say that the murderer is you!
Let's take another look at how Sherlock Holmes displayed his proud deduction in his first appearance.
There is no such thing. I knew right away that you were from Afghanistan. As a result of my long-standing habit, a series of thoughts also flew through my mind, so that when I came to a conclusion, I was not aware of the steps by which it was reached. However, there are certain steps in the middle. In your case, my reasoning goes like this: 'This gentleman has the demeanor of a medical worker, but with the spirit of a military man. Well, obviously he is a military doctor. He had just come back from the tropics because he was dark, but, judging by the black and white skin on his wrists, it wasn't his original complexion. His face was haggard, which clearly showed that he was recovering from a long illness and had gone through hardships. His left arm was injured, and now he is still a little stiff and inconvenient. How could a British military doctor endure hardships in the tropics and have an arm injury, where can this be? Naturally only in Afghanistan. ' This train of thought lasted less than a second, so I blurted out that you were from Afghanistan, and you were amazed at the time.
——Conan Doyle's "Study in Scarlet" This
is the authentic reasoning style!
The last thing I want to say is: if you are a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, there are very few opportunities to watch it on the big screen, so why not go;
if you just want to see the foggy city at the end of the 19th century, buy Let's play "Assassin's Creed: Heroes";
if you are a fan of
Kuanfu...
Then what articles are you reading? No matter how bad the filming is, you have to read it, right!
Well, I'm not really bashing this movie, I can only say that this is the most Sherlock Holmes-like movie.
