First time to find out that Sir Ian is so old.

Really, this movie is a very cruel movie for both Sir Ian fans and Sherlock Holmes fans. Ian seems to be playing his older self, shaping this old man who doesn't believe in science. The remedies give up the friendship of life and death partner Sherlock Holmes, who blames himself for the death of his client. In the film, you can't see the magic of the archmage, and you can't see the domineering power of Magneto, just an ordinary person who is tortured by the normal aging of human beings. This is actually my biggest dissatisfaction with this film. It is the most fanfiction. It is estimated that this film is a bit OOC. Sherlock Holmes is always a character different from ordinary people in Doyle's writings, and folks always seem to like to bring some unusual people down to their level in order to numb the gap between themselves and the greats. This is also human nature. Everyone wants their idols to feel a little closer to them. The author is also ruthless, he took care of everyone around him in one breath, and then forced the robot-like person to bleed.

The film itself is very well made, as expected from the BBC, the idyllic scenery is pleasing to the eye, and the historical background is a little thin. You must know that Sherlock Holmes lived until the end of World War II in one breath, and the impact of World War II on Sherlock Holmes is basically invisible in the film. He traveled to Japan. The plot is quite innovative, and the host is Sanada, and his English can be mixed with Hollywood. Japan can also be said to be the most popular country for mystery novels, no one. Moreover, the original author of this film also has Japanese friends, so naturally he used some brush and ink on the destruction of Japan by nuclear weapons, and expressed his shock and sympathy through Sherlock Holmes, but Holmes was still as if he had traveled through World War I, and he could not feel him at all. Changes after so many historical events. The film pays homage to the original book a lot, and I burst out laughing when I saw Sherlock Holmes complaining about his film~

The interaction between Sherlock Holmes and the housekeeper is very interesting. This one has the taste of the original book, and the old and young couples are basically a panacea. The housekeeper has a general feeling of "I am a suspect" from beginning to end. I even suspected that she was related to the case, but I thought too much. . . When it comes to the case, it is actually a case that is very poud and has the flavor of the original book. When I read it, I felt that there were so many messes between the husband and wife. Only this time Holmes began to blame himself for his inaction, much like M. Poirot. As for the loneliness that no one understands, I hope that people who believe in this theory will be single for life. Sherlock Holmes, who believes in remedies, is the most OOC, which is also related to the author’s narrow knowledge. You must know that Alzheimer’s disease was discovered in 1902. Sherlock Holmes in 1947 should have followed medical research. However, Holmes, who even Watson abandoned What else can't be done? In fact, based on the film, Sherlock Holmes is not memory loss, but unwilling to remember his negligence, and recent research has shown that people who use their brains often have a resistance to memory loss, so everyone is happy to think more and less about the second: )

    interesting. Through the shell of Sherlock Holmes, it tells a story that is not Sherlock Holmes, but Sir Ian's excellent acting skills and beautiful editing make people feel that this is Sherlock Holmes.

    At first, the three lines are parallel, which seems very messy, and then it becomes a natural one. It is an excellent film about loneliness, old age, and death.

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.
