"Miss Sherlock Holmes" is adapted from the "Sherlock Holmes" series of novels. Since I haven't read the original book, I'm not 100% sure that the film's narrative is slow and constantly flashing back to disrupt the rhythm of the film. It must be superfluous by the director and not written in the original book. But the film disappoints me. The problem is not that the script is not starring, or that the director has a novel idea and the final effect is counterproductive.
The rhythm of "Miss Sherlock" is not only slow in contrast to the fast rhythm of the contemporary mainstream, but also because the director deliberately broke the slow rhythm for Enola's memory. As long as the fast-paced fights, escapes and other scenes are played, the audience's nerves are finally mobilized to the point of excitement, and the director will immediately cut in a dull and uninteresting recollection scene, as if the racing car just accelerated and stopped suddenly. Down, the audience's high emotions instantly extinguished. Tormenting the audience back and forth once or twice, the passion for watching the movie was completely wiped out by the director's torture. I even wonder if the director has nothing to film and can only fill up the length of the movie with verbose memories.
The slow rhythm of the film is so classical, it is obviously the effect that the director deliberately pursues. It may be the director's understanding of traditional British culture, or it may be the slow pace of the original work. But in today's mobile information age, reasoning and suspense dramas are also pursuing a sense of tension and suspense in a high-speed rhythm. For example, the first climax scene of the film, the train chase and the fight with the killer in the slums behind, can obviously be shot in a fast pace to double the adrenaline of the audience. As a result, the director not only arranged boring flashes to disrupt the rhythm, but also made the filming smoothly. uninteresting. In contrast, the high-speed rail-like rhythm of the authentic British Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes" made the audience hooked and achieved a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office. If the director of the film does not have a wrong understanding of British culture, and can learn from Guy Ritchie and follow the rhythm of modern films, this film will become a classic in the same type of film. It's a pity that there was no reshoot, and the director ruined a good script and a good actor.
The film is highly top-notch. At the beginning, the mother left without saying goodbye, placing the characters in the torrent of the era of suffrage and women's rights in British society. The whole film is sublimated to the height of historical and social change, and it inherits the essence and core era of the famous British detective novels of Sherlock Holmes and Polo. But the film's reasoning plot is very mediocre. The young and handsome Marquis disappeared, and the senior reasoning fans were able to see through the political struggle behind it by relying on the parliamentary struggle reported by the newspaper. The amiable and amiable grandma and Enola's walk on the tree-lined path seem redundant, but the reasoning fans are afraid that it is the murderer's confession and the motive for the crime. The most exciting part of the film is that it uses special effects to present the beautiful and quiet rural scenery of the United Kingdom on the big screen. The real London with chimneys is full of chimneys. The film is outstanding in the pursuit of restoring historical features.
Starring Millie Bobby Brown is a legend of the broadcast platform Netflix and a princess of the producer Legendary Pictures. "Miss Sherlock Holmes" is tailor-made for her, and her acting skills don't require me to spend any more money. Brown's future is bright, and becoming a female movie star is only a good literary film. As for Superman Henry Cavill, limited by the script, he has become a veritable vase. There is not much reasoning, and it does not contribute at all to solving the case. It is that in the film, he constantly changes his suits and shows a good figure, which makes the female audience scream. The sponsorship of the film suit can be said to have earned it. The young British actor Louis Partridge, who plays the Marquis, is handsome from the beginning to the end, and his acting skills are also online throughout the whole process. Many supporting roles will not be commented on one by one, and all their acting skills make the audience applaud.
The new era film and television giant Netflix has always wanted to make breakthroughs in movies, but it has also been taking advantage of it. Legendary Pictures has gone downhill in recent years, and news of Wanda's sale has often been reported. Netflix is rich and self-willed, and Legendary Pictures also wants to find a rich husband. These two are a match made in heaven. The marriage that was a perfect fit was on the rocks because of the director's stupid start. However, making suspense dramas is Netflix's genes. I believe that there will be a next "Miss Sherlock", but it is still filmed according to the director's slow and chaotic flashes. The next one is still going to disappoint the audience.
