Afterthought

Some feelings

1) Only the opening part of the movie is interesting. At the beginning, I shouldn't expect it as a reasoning film, but as a comedy, but the reasoning behind it is not good or funny. Perhaps no matter how good a screenwriter is, he is still too confident if he does not rely on adapting those great mystery novels, but hopes to make a great mystery movie by himself. I have seen few mystery films, and the most exciting mystery films in my impressions are all adapted from great mystery novels.

2) Some dialogues are still very clever, but it feels too little.

3) When it comes to inference movies, it is doomed to be disappointed.

4) I don’t watch the master’s movies. I wanted to watch all of his movies, but I downloaded two high-definition movies without subtitles, and the enthusiasm for watching movies has cooled down.

5) It's fun to be able to joke about the Queen of England. I really hope that in the future, there will be movies about Cixi or Wu Zetian. It feels like Galeries Lafayette should be funny.

6) Looking at Sherlock Holmes, he usually only cares about reasoning and ingenuity or mean dialogue. Lace is really boring, so boring.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes quotes

  • Holmes: Madame must not be too hasty. She must remember that I am an Englishman.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: So?

    Holmes: You know what they say about us: if there's one thing more deplorable than our cooking, it's our lovemaking. We are not the most romantic of people.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: Perfect! We don't want sentimental idiots, falling in love, committing suicide. One week in Venice with Madame, she goes back to St. Petersburg with baby, you go back to London with fiddle.

  • Holmes: From the sound of your footsteps, I gathered that you were not in a particularly amiable mood.
