Netflix's latest Sherlock Holmes, based on the novel of the same name, shifts the spotlight from Sherlock Holmes' extraordinary life to his younger sister Enola, who has the true biography of her mother. Enola also possesses extremely intelligent reasoning abilities. The movie starts with her mother's "running away from home". Enola, who has been dependent on her mother since childhood, intends to hand over the burden of finding her mother to her brothers, but she is frightened by her brother's plan to send her to a foster school and decides to follow her mother's footsteps and leave the family. , while looking for the whereabouts of his mother, he also tries to get rid of the shackles of his brothers, trying to regain control and autonomy of life.
From this, the intention of the film is no longer obvious. The suspense is just a wrapping paper wrapped in the outer layer of the film. The main force is Enola's pursuit of an independent growth story, breaking the concept of male superiority and inferiority in the 19th century. Women decide the direction of the second half of their lives. The problem with most Netflix original films ─ ─ in just over two hours of space, piled up too rich dramatic elements, feminism, politics, suspense, personal growth, loose plots, dragging down the rhythm of the drama, and too much through the heroine The narration advances the story, reflecting its own problems with procrastination.
"Enola Independence VS Love"
Enola, a 14-year-old girl, has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She stayed at home and lacked experience in traveling in big cities. After her mother left resolutely, Enola lacked the light of life to guide her forward. The boarding school that does not seek to train thinking but only trains behavior will be brainwashed by British etiquette, lose independent thinking, and become a product of the same industrial chain, determined to use its own strength to fight against the powerful brother. Enola's hippie and lively tone is natural and pleasing. Through the heroine's resistance to her own destiny, she brings out the big context of the social environment at the moment. The story line is similar to "Little Women", but the character settings are changed along with the development of the story. After Duan Enola had love, she turned into a weak and slender woman who relied on men, breaking the strange setting of Enola's elf at the beginning of the film, reflecting that the film was injected with a lot of elements, and the setting therefore took care of one thing and another.
"Gentle and Strong Sherlock Holmes"
Sherlock Holmes has always given people the image of being weak, thin and unruly, but Henry Caffir, the "Superman" in "Sherlock Holmes", is the most hormonal Sherlock Holmes in history, perfectly fitting the muscles of his shirt, but tenderly doting With his younger sister Enola, the original setting of Sherlock Holmes was washed away, and the setting brought rare new ideas in many Sherlock Holmes works, but including Brother Enola played by Sam Claflin, the hero of "The Hunger Games", the story is left to The two brothers didn't have much room to play, and Henry Caffir's role was only about fifteen minutes, wasting a character setting that broke the stereotype. The feudal elder brother who advocates patriarchalism and the headmistress of the foster school don't care about Enola's ideas, and the setting of the mask makes the drama clumsy.
"The Elements of the Films That Look Out for One and Lose Another"
Even if the wording of Netflix at the beginning of the film is deleted, the audience will find that the movie is from Netflix. The dazzling elements are like a flower fist and legs, which cannot be properly portrayed and unfolded in just two hours. Feminism, politics, suspense, personal growth, in order to cope with the 14-year-old Enola's reasoning ability, even though the title of "genius girl" is hung, the reasoning component of this film is bland, lacking the thrilling or brain-opening reasoning process when solving the case, the reasoning is weak, and the word puzzles are boring.
The film takes on the title of reasoning, and essentially tells the story of the awakening of women's consciousness. After the relationship between feminism and politics was initially linked, the writing turned to the love story of Young Adult, but the ending ended with the addition of third-party forces to solve the original contradiction of the story. , which perfectly contradicts the rise of feminism and that women should be independent and independent, which the play wants to bring out, and the story line will collapse more and more in the future.
"Contrived Breaking the Fourth Wall"
The aura of Enola gives people a hippie and eccentric image, constantly breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience, echoing the "Alone" that reverses Enola's name. The sense of loneliness is especially obvious after the mother quietly leaves. At the beginning of the film, I still thought that the setting had It's a bit of fun, but as the plot unfolds, the fourth wall repeatedly breaks the rhythm of the drama, and the approach is extremely deliberate and contrived, resulting in a certain degree of disgust.
"The right to choose is in your hands, no matter how the public expresses it, it will not affect you"
This film with mixed elements strives to promote feminism and growth stories, weakens the elements of reasoning, and shows that we should stick to the original choice, and should not be changed by the herd mentality caused by external opinions, and always stick to our beliefs.
Rating: 5/10
