I never thought about Holmes's old appearance, in my heart he is always wise, sober, and energetic, and no crime can be avoided in front of him. This movie cruelly shows us the tragic and vigorousness of the hero in his late twilight period. He is getting old, his memory is rapidly declining, and he can't even remember the names of people around him! He was exhausted and was in a drowsy state all day long. But even so, he did not give up the exploration of the truth, in order to fight against the memory that is not online from time to time, he writes a diary as a memo anytime and anywhere, forcing himself to keep recollecting and searching for missing clues. The hero is late, and the tragic beauty is so touching!

    The detective's whole life is swallowed by logic, and he finally realizes his emotions at the end of his life. He finally has these, but it is like a young woman getting a belated childhood doll. After suffering for it all my life, I finally owned it, but it was useless. The movie is sad, lengthy, heavy, and mourning. Impressive, but boring. The first half was a bit of a chore, and in the second half there was a vague sense of impact.

    Qualified adaptation works, the rhythm of the three lines of mutual reconciliation arrangement is very good, the image of Holmes is not limited to the famous detective and social barriers, but more humane. But this kind of warm story novel will definitely work better. Holmes is really a treasure of British actors and films.
