The story tells that Sherlock Holmes (played by Little Robert Downey) and his good partner John Watson (played by Jude Law) detect a serial murder case, and the criminal is Blackwood (played by Mark Strong) as a member of Parliament. After Blackwood was arrested, Holmes had nothing to do until the day after Blackwood was sentenced, Blackwood, who had been hanged, was witnessed and brought back to life. For the sake of reputation and to find the conspiracy in it, Holmes and his good partner Watson once again investigated the case.
There is no need to introduce Holmes's name. There are many admirable mystery novels in the advanced era, whether it is Bengue, social, hard-line, or whatever faction, as long as you mention reasoning, most of them don't leave "Holmes." If you are not a fan of mystery, you don't need to know Matthew Skader and Kaga Kyouichiro, but you don't know Sherlock Holmes. Because his status is like Michael Jordan's basketball, Holmes and reasoning have already equated. Just as the author of Yasen Robin, who is as famous as Holmes, once said: "Ropin is not my shadow, I am Robin’s shadow." Holmes’ author Conan Doyle is not as famous as his character, if not in recent years. The blessings that dragged Qingshan Changgang may have long been forgotten.
And because Conan Doyle’s Holmes is so famous, his image has long been in the minds of readers. How to interpret such works can satisfy the general public. The film company's approach is to "subvert." In order to avoid previous remakes of novels that failed to meet the requirements and expectations of book fans, resulting in poor evaluation of this film, Warner's "Harry Potter" series is the biggest example, and Leonard Wigra, who conceived the concept of this film M is the executive producer of Harry Potter, so he can deeply appreciate the deep feeling of book fans for the remake of the film. In the casting part, but the casting is actually reasonable, I found Little Robert Downey. He was once regarded as a fallen superstar in Hollywood because of his private life. Dong Yu learned of Sang Yu because of his drug use and made him act as an alcoholic reporter in David Finch's "Zodiac". But what does this have to do with Sherlock Holmes? Anyone who reads novels should know that Sherlock Holmes is actually an addict. There is a part in the movie that Watson told Holmes not to use the medicine he used to numb his eyes. In fact, the medicine is cocaine, which is cocaine. In order to interpret this role, it can be said that it is very appropriate to find Little Robert Downey to play this role, just like Britney Murphy often plays some drug and alcoholic roles, but also from his own bad experience (recently also Unfortunately, he passed away because of excessive medication (RIP). On the contrary, the role of Watson was played by Jude Law, which really subverted everyone's impressions in the past. In the past, in order to avoid the supporting role being too aggressive, Watson's role has always been a little brother, otherwise he is a very passerby actor. Choosing Jude Law as the performance this time gave the supporting role or deputy role a new pattern, transforming the role that was originally like a small attendant into a right-hand man, just like Kato in the Green Frontier and Dragon Five next to the God of Gamblers, which greatly subverted In the past, doctors had a gentle and weak image.
Compared with the role selection, the plot changed from the direct remake of the novel in the past. The movie focuses on the personality of Sherlock Holmes, and is based on a true story in the film plot. In the Victorian era, there was Aleister Crowley (Aleister Crowley), who was famous for his supernatural powers. He was used as the prototype of the movie villain Blackwood (for those interested in this person, please refer to this link (click here), I won’t introduce more here). So through the adaptation of real people and real events, the attempt was to create a real character of Sherlock Holmes's background in this era, so Warner worked hard in the part of the plot. It also reminds me of a movie "Top Rivals" that year, which used the struggle between Edison and Tesla to make up for the dramatic tension of a fictional story with reality. Although it was not very long, it greatly affected the latter. Guan Jian of the complex. So from the big battle of screenwriters, it can be seen that Warner is trying to create a new work that does not lose the original style.
(PS: As for Little Robert Downey to practice "Wing Chun" for Holmes, just like "Confucius", Holmes also changed to a master of martial arts, this is actually a precedent, interested can participate in this: Sherlock Holmes , I won’t say much here)
Except for whether the plot is remake or not, the part of the filming feels relatively simple. The director invited Gary. The advantage of this person is that the often sharp dialogue in the film creates a compact and interesting feeling, while the seemingly unrelated intertwined complexes in the film are intertwined in the end. Involved in each other, in some places I myself think he is much smarter and more interesting than the Aliando Gonzalez Reinarito in "The Line of Fire". Watching his "Two Gun Barrels" and "Stealing and Snatching" are classic works of this kind of movies, and you can also see Gary's talent and ability. But a director can make one or two films to make you remember him, or make one or two films to make you forget him. The seemingly promising Garage, after marrying Madonna, is a rotten to violent "The Catastrophe My Enemy", which makes people forget his talents. Now he has finally separated from Na Sister and used his previous style again. Announcing to the fans that he is back.
So all the elements are in place. It is not difficult to imagine that "Sherlock Holmes" is trying to present a very macro plot, with big directors, big stars, big scenes, and a bunch of screenwriters. You can also see that the film company's expectations for this movie are different from that. confidence. Perhaps because of this, the movie is very cautious and careful. Unsurprisingly, the whole film is full of all the elements required by commercial films. The whole film is like a carnival, and it is like a Hollywood formula that is constantly respected as a lesson to be seen. Calculatedly accurate movies. Although the director's rhythm is well mastered, the confrontation between the two leading male stars is wonderful and humorous. However, because of the lack of surprises in too conservative films, the most important elements of detective films still have to be anticipated. Anticipation, but different from the speculation of the audience, will make people feel unexpectedly daring. But the plot of this film is like a mystery novel that has been read many times, and the creativity is not enough to surprise you. In addition to the excessive lay-out, in addition to clearly revealing their ambitions for the sequel, it can also be seen that they are very satisfied with the results of this episode. It's not like the result of "Golden Compass" becoming arrogant and finally capsized. But fortunately, this movie is Sherlock Holmes, the author Conan Doyle is not Philippman, and the two male stars are more attractive than the little girls. On the whole, the movie cannot be said to be bad, but it is only at the level.
In the end
, the combination of Robert Downey and Jude Law is really great. I never thought that the combination of these two people would have such a beautiful effect, which is unexpected. Sherlock Holmes’s old enemy James Moriad has a small introduction in this movie. I was looking forward to their duel, but after seeing that it was a little bit of innocence, deliberately stimulating the appetite made people not appetite. It's not a bad movie, but it's a bit of my own subjective meaning to make it like this, but getting out of the movie theater still makes me a little disappointed.
(Mark Strong disappointed me. The role of "Lie Duel" is still more suitable for him. This should be played by Shi Neibo. And Kylie Raleigh is very right. I hope he will have more
chances to perform in the second episode. )
