I believe in love again

I first fell in love with mystery novels. It can be said that I, like most Chinese children, started from Sherlock Holmes (Nani? You said that Conan enlightened you!). I forgot which year it was on June 1st. My sister gave a set of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" from Mass Publishing House. I still can't forget the moment when she appeared in "A Study in Scarlet". Sherlock Holmes judged just by shaking hands. Watson's Afghan conscription experience.

I was fascinated by this keen observation that originated from a detective. Although this ability was unfortunately misunderstood into boundless lustful skills under my continuous efforts to imitate and learn, I still retained my love for Sherlock Holmes. down.

Countless movies and TV shows, from Jeremy Brett, to the classic era of Peter Ustinov (hey, he played Polo!), to Robert Downey Jr. and Comber The new age of Butch, Sherlock Holmes gets the reinvention of the times from the tradition. Then the American version of "Sherlock Holmes: The Deduction" has basically completed the subversion.

Of the Sherlock Holmes you can see in Deduction, there are only a few sets of symbolic marks left: Sherlock, Watson, Moriarty, and English accent. More often, what you see in the American remake of this TV series is a eccentric who perfectly combines a dead house and a mental illness. The British gentleman who was originally very rational thinking has become extremely self-centered in New York a few centuries later. The big boy, Baker Street's most famous violin has been reduced to a digital controller fiddling with iPhones all day.

Under the popular trend of selling rot, Americans obviously feel that if two men are allowed to stay in the same room for a long time, you will not even believe them if you say they are not good friends. As a result, Liu Yuling with an oriental face played Watson as a woman and became the second pawn on the road to subversion of the play. Originally, the mutual sympathy between men has become an unrequited love between a man and a widow. From a recovery companion to a cohabitation close friend, the rhythm of husband and son watching Watson is about to hit the home plate has been dismissed by the indifferent American screenwriter. Ryatti made a perfect counterattack.

In fact, it is not difficult to deduce that the ex-girlfriend is Moriarty. A major rule of American TV dramas is that "if you keep thinking about it, there will be echoes", and there is definitely a conspiracy for an ex to foreshadow so deeply. However, the truth me, after seeing Moriarty and Sherlock Holmes rolling in the sheets, tears still fell out of desperation.

After watching a lot of men's heavy tastes, the 24-episode season of Xiaoqing completely subverts the male and female stories of "Sherlock Holmes", and once again makes a 100% straight man like me start to believe in love again. I want to say to those screenwriters who are far across the ocean:

It's a man, let Sherlock Holmes enlarge Watson's belly~
