In fact, I have always been fantasizing about one thing, if Jeremy Brett has not passed away, what will happen to him now? Since his illness was worsened by the death of his wife, we assume that his wife is also alive.
By this year, Jeremy Brett should be 79 years old. This is not a particularly old age for actors. Christopher Plummer is a few years older than him. He also won an Oscar this year, so we have every reason to believe that if Jeremy is physically strong, filming is no problem. So what will he do in these ten years?
Although Sherlock Holmes had no good stories when it was filmed in 1994, but with the popularity of Jeremy accumulated over the years, I think it should be no problem to adapt a few more stories and shoot a season, although I know that Granada executives have already I'm not very interested in this TV series, but I still can't help thinking about it. His physical reasons have also reflected the influence of this drama, but if everything is well at the time, the quality of this drama may be even better. So let’s suppose that he finished the last season of filming in 1995, and finally stopped the plan because there was no story to film (you can’t take out the story of "Lion’s Mane" too!), maybe he will take a vacation ? Maybe he will continue to show Sherlock Holmes on stage, with his old partner? We know that the stage play adapted from Sherlock Holmes is also very successful, although today we are not lucky enough to see you again. (Why no one wanted to record it at the time! Sigh!)
I have never understood why there is no professional award for Holmes played by Jeremy. Can the judges not see such a popular and well-recognized performance? Or did they choose to ignore the things that the masses liked to hear and see at the time? No wonder the later Watson actor Edward Hardwicke said it was a shame. He has been very successful in stage plays. If his handsome appearance concealed his talents in the early years, then Sir Laurence Olivier's appearance and acting skills are also commendable. Jeremy's performance is not inferior to him, maybe Jeremy Can you get a title after 1995? (Doesn't the queen look at Holmes?!) I can imagine what Jeremy would be like if he were to receive such an honor, maybe I would kiss the queen at the ceremony? You know his temper. Perhaps in this way, he can finally prove to his father that there is nothing wrong with being an actor, and it can also win respect and glory.
After being knighted, I think many people will respect him even more. But I can't think of what role he will play. Is it the kind of respected and generous elder, or to challenge the hateful villain? Maybe there will be.
In the blink of an eye, in the new millennium, Jeremy has also become a grandpa-level character. We all know what movie there was in 2001, yes, it was Harry Potter. What if Jeremy Brett were to play Dumbledore? It's very exciting to think about it. Of course, if he does it, it seems normal to us. Wearing semi-circular glasses, a long white beard, and an insightful gaze at any time, the demeanor of an invincible elder, everything looks so perfect. In this role, we can see him in 8 movies in 10 years.
Maybe he can really rest after playing Dumbledore, take a walk with his dear wife after dinner, and spend a relaxing afternoon tea time. Perhaps they are the kind of old people I have seen on the street who "hold their hands and grow old with them". Although they have nothing to say to each other, they have the same mind. This is also the highest state I can imagine for love. I remember that Jeremy once said that his wife is his once-in-a-lifetime love, and I felt extremely moved.
I fully believe that Jeremy Brett can play most of the roles he has encountered, but he played a Holmes and exhausted all of him, leaving us with regrets. (He didn't underestimate his previous roles, but his previous roles were not so successful.) Although his death at 62 and Holmes' retirement at 62 are a good coincidence, how I hope he will not leave so early. I rarely admire an actor who has passed away so much, but his impression is so vivid, as if he is a living person, his pain, pressure and even his illness are like a friend around him, making people feel empathetic. . Although he has portrayed a great role, his experience in private is so heartbreaking. What I don’t see most is that talented people have been tortured by illness in life, and thus lost the only thing he is worthy of. Become bleak.
I don’t know if Jeremy’s most important role in his life is the role of Holmes and his cherished wife, but it is clear that these two things have brought him achievement and happiness, but also planted a tragedy factor for him. People always say that time is a pig-killing knife. This pig-killing knife brings more than just changes in appearance, but also an unknown destiny.
I don't know why I use this title, but I always feel this way when I watch Jeremy Brett play Holmes. I am amazed, just amazed.
