When you are young you believe in yourself, when you are old you admit your destiny

One afternoon after watching this film for a long time, I recalled the last scene in my busy work: the old detective was lying on the ground, surrounded by a pile of stones. I don't know why, but this image is so deeply pressing on the heart, it's frustrating.
This person has been famous for decades before I was born, even now the whole world is full of all kinds of detectives, iron-blooded, sick, narcissistic, all seem to have evolved from his body It came, but it didn't smell as steadily as he did. I remember that when I watched this film, I was in a very happy mood. It was as if I knew that an old friend who had been separated for many years and changed beyond recognition in the rumors between friends reappeared in front of me again, and there was not much change from the past. . Suddenly a lot of peace of mind.
Even if this story is told several times here, people who like it still like it, and people who hate it still hate it. The old Sherlock Holmes has been trying to recall his last case. It was this last case that made him retire at an age when he could still struggle. After many years, he could no longer remember the reason for his retirement, which made him advocating rationality. How can the great detective accept it? Could there be a reason that probably didn't exist that kept him out of society, away from his past pursuits.
Who can bear it.
He had to find it, before he lost his mind, before he passed away. I often think that when an old man gets old, he will quietly pass away at a certain time one day. However, the truth of this world is that the memories of a lifetime will flash at the last moment, but in the end, everything is blurry. One day I woke up, but I forgot who I was, so my life after that seemed to be separated by a layer of veil. You have to admit, old age is coming.
Did Sherlock Holmes think he was a god? No, he only believed in reason and scoffed at Watson's novels, which he thought were too untrue. He lives by reason, trusts his own judgment, trusts himself.
Why the last case shocked a detective who has lived with evil for a long time, and then retired. The case may even be said to be bland, but Watson has completely changed the ending of the case. why? I thought about it for a long time to understand something. Why on earth did that woman commit suicide? The loneliness that no one understands. But Sherlock Holmes has long been accustomed to loneliness. Maybe it's because the cause of this loneliness is so common that even if he agreed to the woman's request at that time, he couldn't get rid of this loneliness.
He was no longer young at that time, and he seemed to see the face of fate in this case. So Watson will change the ending of the story, let the mighty detective still be invincible.

    ——"I will show you my twilight years without reservation. My memory is declining and my actions are slow, but I am correcting those exaggerated legends. I have been lonely and I still forget to save. Then, even so, are you still the same? Trust me? Dear Watson"-"Yes, Holmes, I still trust." [Story of Elder Holmes Recovering EQ]

    The score must be in Gandalf's performance, and you can ignore OOC except for the distressed old man. The timeline is actually not as elusive as the comments said. It is typically the memory-dream technique of the Left Bank faction. The Japanese paragraph is indeed a bit hard, and it seems unnecessary after World War II. But the biggest flaw is that Sherlock Holmes self-exiled for 30 years because of one case... The relationship with the original text: [Lion's Mane] [Woman with a Veil]. The highlight is the scene in the theater.

Mr. Holmes quotes

  • [solving his last "case"]

    Sherlock Holmes: The bees... didn't do it. The bees were not to blame. It was the wasps! Roger was trying to find out what was killing the bees. And he did. He found the wasps' nest. He had to stop them wiping out the bees. And so he did the worst possible thing. He tried to drown them with water from his can.

    Mrs. Munro: How do you know it was them?

    Sherlock Holmes: Bees leave their stings. Wasps don't. There were no stings left in Roger's face. And when they attacked, he dropped the watering can and ran up to protect the bees. There are his footprints from the apiary to the nest and back.

    Mrs. Munro: He was trying to save the bees.

    Sherlock Holmes: Yes.

    [Together, they pour kerosene on the wasps' nest, and set it ablaze]

  • [waiting with Mrs. Munro outside Roger's hospital room]

    Sherlock Holmes: There was a woman, once. I knew her less than a day. A quarter of an hour's conversation. She needed my help. She needed so desperately to be understood by someone... Me. So, I laid out the particulars of her case as I saw them... To her satisfaction, I thought. I watched her walk away. And within hours she'd ended her life. By identifying the cause of her despair with such clarity, I'd given her carte blanche to do just as she intended. I should've done whatever it took to save her. Lie to her, make up a story. Take her by the hand and hold her as she wept, and said, "Come live with me. "Let us be alone together." But I was fearful. Selfish. She's the reason I came here to my bees, so that I couldn't harm anyone ever again.

    [pause]

    Sherlock Holmes: I'm leaving you the house. You and Roger. House, grounds, apiary, everything within and without. And as I shan't change my mind on this point, you will see, I trust, that it will be greatly less complicated for all concerned if the two of you don't go off to somewhere like... Portsmouth.
