Of course, for this kind of film with molds, the appearance and core are not important to the audience. Most of what they ask for is "taste." Whether they are satisfied or not is a matter of personal taste. Saying that it is right for the rotten girl's appetite, or full of uncontrollable basic feelings, is all for the individual. In short, the good or bad of this drama is also for the individual, and you really have to look at it before judging it.
Throughout this drama, the whole film still uses the narrative method of reasoning, bringing out Holmes, Watson and Professor Moriarty in the mystery of the murder of an Australian crown prince. This time, the contradiction has a great background. It combines high IQ, genius mathematician, famous writer, boxing champion, president's friend, etc., which is enough to attract the attention of Holmes and the audience, and the difficulty of the challenge increases. Obviously, this is the only serious and traditional narrative clue in the whole play. But after pointing out the direction of the revolution, the comrades became messy later on.
In this way, in the battle between good and evil, in the desperate contest between the two sides, Sherlock Holmes reproduced the good show: playing cards not according to the card, and investigating and handling the case in an unusual way. In the process of serious investigations, with British Victorian costumes and scenes, Watson’s fiancee who was thrown out of the train window on her honeymoon, and the gypsy astrologer girl who was saddened by her honeymoon, she rolled between Sherlock Holmes and Watson. The thrills, humor, and friendship run through throughout, transforming a traditional suspense drama into a passionate action suspense film with rich elements. There is also an episode of "Life and Death" at the end, which probably caters to the historical anecdote of Conan Doyle trying to murder the characters in his novels. From this point of view, no matter how the play is adapted, there is a pious heart to flatter the original.
Think about it, the spectator is in it, as if being stuffed into a prop box in the hands of a giant magician, which is like a kaleidoscope. The repertoire is staged, and the compact and fast-paced gives people the feeling of a time machine, which will take you to the end of the nineteenth century. Then he witnessed murders, investigations, murders, escapes, and other strange things, recalling the weird, lively, crazy, and ambiguous fantasy journey, and then traveled from Holmes' hometown back to our own temporary residence. My personal feeling is that this is a pastime for people to watch the festivities. I didn't feel worried when I saw it, and I didn't regret it.
The producer and playwright Leonard Wigram, who had prepared the new version of Sherlock Holmes for ten years, thought he was going to create the "James Bond of 1891"-Holmes. He is a man of good literary skills and good military skills. Sherlock Holmes, a modern non-mainstream detective who resembles an artist or a poet. As he said, he specializes in original novels, and when adapting novels, he opens up a different perspective. Although it is different, it is not contrary to the original novel. In fact, on the basis of the prototype of Sherlock Holmes, the great director Guy Ritchie was called out, and the genius play idiots Robert Jr. and Jude Law, this play is naturally inseparable from the expectation. But such a cast, in addition to showing the value of high-end consumables, somehow did not leave a spectator like me with the passion that he wanted to treasure.
