Everyone has a glorious past that belongs to him and determines his status in society, but no matter how brilliant he was in the society, he will return to an ordinary person when he grows old. A biopic of a famous fictional character fundamentally expresses a description of the psychological changes of the entire character. It is no longer burdened with a heavy halo of characters, enjoying his retirement leisurely, and not dealing with bizarre interpersonal relationships. Some are just leisure. The personal taste of time, and looking back on memories that were hard to erase. As the main character of the movie, Sherlock Holmes is no longer a famous detective with great powers, but has transformed into a retired old man, erasing his personal glorious history, leaving only the image of a disabled old man. Compared with the previous Sherlock Holmes-themed movies , This biopic is still pitiful, although Holmes in the film still maintains his sharp and sharp insight, but it has obviously been overshadowed by a lonely and lonely life, and he has to be with children and keep bees for fun. Although the movie is lonely, it is not monotonous. There are no cases that can be solved. Memories have become the theme of the movie. The flashes of memory are used to describe a story, so that the movie can regain the story of the plot and make the whole movie become Lively and interesting.

As a pure British film, the plot of the story begins to become a little trivial and insipid. It not only has a subtle description of rural life, but also has a delicate and complex psychological description of the characters. The whole pastoral style film form makes the whole film spread It gives off a strong local atmosphere, which is far from the strife and prosperity of the big city, and more scattered to express the complex and chaotic heart under the peaceful and peaceful life. The movie tells three stories, and the plots are intertwined with each other. It looks complicated, but it does not feel chaotic. Moreover, the movie describes the plots of the three stories in the form of memories and the mentality of storytelling. Think slowly. Concentrate a little bit of the plot, use the plot to reflect the psychology of the protagonist, use the plot to set off the theme of the movie description, layer upon layer of foreshadowing, and slowly ferment the deep meaning contained in the story. The movie is not only describing Sherlock Holmes's later life, but also looking for Sherlock Holmes' spiritual redemption. He not only has to overcome his own demons, but also tries to forget the mistakes he has made, and it is caused by the curiosity of a little boy. It begins and ends with saving the little boy's life. The movie is not just about describing this illusory fictional character, but a flesh-and-blood reconstruction to make him a real person who lives in our world. No longer illusory and unrealistic. As a biopic, the director has grasped how to express life in the film, using life to reflect the heart of the characters, making the characters more specific and real, and most importantly, the director has grasped how to guide The occurrence of the whole story changes the character's psychology step by step, thus opening up the long-held memory, starting from the memory that can't be put down, until the whole memory is satisfactorily resolved, so that the old man's heart finds its belonging and returns again. The blandness also gives the movie a peaceful and peaceful ending, which is very meaningful.

In the movie, Ian McLean plays the old detective Sherlock Holmes, which really makes people feel bright. His thin figure and deep eyes are as sharp and sharp as an eagle, which makes people have a new understanding of this role. Know, but as an old version of Sherlock Holmes, what we see more in the movie is his weakness and powerlessness as an old man, which not only breaks our understanding of a shrewd and capable detective, but also makes us begin to doubt the true meaning Detective Sherlock Holmes. Fortunately, the film is not mainly about solving crimes, it mainly explores the hearts of the characters. McClain used his complex expressions to fully deduce the memories that hurt the characters' hearts, and at the same time bear a huge repentance. , making the old man's old age seem bleak.

Everyone has a past that they let go. It is the regret that their wrong choices brought to their life. It has become a knot in their heart. For a long time, they can't calm their hearts, even if they try to keep this memory tightly sealed. , but in the end, I will recall that only by facing it bravely can we truly face the past and open up our hearts. Director Bill Condon used a realistic approach to reveal the life of Sherlock Holmes in his later years. In the peaceful and peaceful pastoral life, there are still many little secrets that have not been revealed. Not only the suspense is repeated, but also a complex mentality has been transformed. course.

    What is this movie about? Aging is just an appearance, and the illogical rules of human nature are just common preaching. The so-called restoration of the truth is even more completely different. If understood from these aspects, although the tone of this film is sufficient, the plot actually lacks power. Judging from the ending, it is not so much that this film "restores" the truth as it is that reality accepts the fiction and reaches a certain compromise with it.

    It took a long time for the Lansing Village to start screening. Grandpa Ian's acting skills are so good. Uncle Yiguo next to him started sobbing since the film was interrupted. #I will cut out my own old age with flesh and blood to show you. My memory is declining. I am slow. I fix those legends that have been exaggerated. I have been alone. I forgot to save. So. Do you still believe me. Do you still love me?#
