Adler's ambiguous relationship with a German female rival. The first 20 minutes of the play should be the most imaginative and darkest humorous part of all Sherlock Holmes movies: Sherlock Holmes was invited by an anonymous person to watch "Swan Lake" performed by the Royal Russian Ballet with Watson. After the closing She was also invited to meet with the lead actress alone, but she was surprised by her request: she hoped to have children with him and inherit his wisdom. She also told Lao Fu frankly that he was not the first candidate, only because Tolstoy was too old, Nietzsche was German, and Tchaikovsky was not interested in women, he was selected. Hearing this, Lao Fu suddenly blessed his soul, claiming that he and Tchaikovsky were both sick and pitying each other, and also hinted at his "intimate relationship" with Watson. Hearing these remarks, the Russians could only let him go, and Watson was almost mad. In the play, Lao Fu’s disregard for his own and others’ reputations (in the Victorian era, what he did was tantamount to releasing a bomb of public opinion), and his willful and reckless energy is the essence of the original work, which I admire very much. . Back on Baker Street, facing the furious Watson, Holmes didn't mean to admit his mistake or blame himself at all. Instead, he seemed to be amused by Watson's fierce reaction, and looked enthusiastic. Although I basically don't have the "Brokeback Mountain" complex, I think it would be unique if this movie can be transferred to depict the relationship between Holmes and Watson. With the weird character of Holmes, even if he really has affection for anyone, I am afraid he can't say any kind of warmth. The half-truth, acrimonious language style is the way for him. This absurd experience is just for him. Make use of the title to play. If he could explain to Watson that he was in a hurry, as if he wanted to relax his heart, but then simply revealed his true feelings to him "if nothing happened", making him even more at a loss and wondering how interesting it should be. ——And it's better to let him hit a big nail with Watson: I have always felt deeply upset for Watson in the original book, and feel that he shouldn't give in to his old luck in everything. She wanted Holmes to break from his usual condescending attitude, fearing that Watson would not have any intention of him. It's a pity that this movie was filmed in a conservative 1970, and it was not possible to express the feelings of the same sex so casually, let alone to "blaspheme" the prestige of the detective. After the flash of inspiration, the depiction of Holmes’ emotional life became a cliché—he couldn’t and should not fall in love with Watson, so he could only fall in love with a “politically correct” one who was lurking next to him, trying to fight him. The Prussian female spy, although her attraction to him seems to be accomplished only by trying to show the weakness of women and inspire the vanity of men. The logic of this "political correctness" is: a Victorian "decent" gentleman It is not completely ignorant of feelings, or else you "should" fall in love with a woman. A man must not be considered, even if this man has chosen to be loyal to him for life, even giving his life to him. Since Irene Adler, how many women have become Sherlock Holmes's confidantes in different film and television works and sequels, making him fascinated. But such romantic stories have never convinced me, because none of these women can replace Watson's place in Holmes' life. Who can do self-sacrifice for a long time and happily like Watson, and provide Sherlock Holmes with support and service that lasts a lifetime? Not only can he give up the stability of the world, let him go deep into the tiger's den, born to death; but also remain humble and gentle, and always willing to be under his aura. The most rare advantage of Watson is that he has almost no awareness of his own great value, and never raises his worth for it, showing a kind of natural nobility that is almost naive and naive. In terms of intelligence, Holmes is certainly a master, but Watson is no less inferior, because in terms of character, he is a saint. I can accept that Watson has married many times in the original work, but I never accept that Holmes has any love history with women in the adaptation: not because I feel that Lao Fu cannot fall in love with women, but because he already owes too much to Watson. , It should have been a lifetime's love to repay it.
