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.

  • Mrs. Munro: Your dad hated what he did for a living. Mechanic in a garage, like his dad before him. When he got called up, he said to me, "My love, I'll not spend this war "underneath the oil pan of some toff's jeep. "I'm gonna put in for the RAF." So he did. He trained. Scored high marks, got assigned to a Bristol Blenheim, Mark IV. Blown out of the sky. First time up. All his mates who worked the motor pool came home without a scratch.
