This good chapter is not enough for me to give this four stars. The focus of Fu Yuhua's story does not lie in the specific quality and style of the film. The current version of this "crazy" version still makes people feel worried because it, like "X-Men: Lesson One", magnifies the most touching part of the original work. That is: how ordinary people get along with weird people.
Conan Doyle used his perfect gentleman temperament and genius mind to cover his protagonist. But the movie version tore up this veil: a genius is often a freak. They are outspoken, moody, immersed in their own world, unable to control the behavioral inertia brought by nature-at the end of the film, Holmes, who is observant at the ball, inadvertently admitted: "This is my curse." At the first place. There was the same scene in the ministry. Sitting in the restaurant and just waiting for someone, he couldn't even let himself "not look, listen, or smell." Therefore, the chaotic state of Baker Street is not intentional, but a natural necessity.
It’s mostly difficult for such a person to have a wife or roommate. Recall the news that happened in the college dormitory: there were doctors who fought so hard because their roommates played games all night, and they were hidden in the closet because of playing cards. Roommate’s little horse, there are also gay students in the United States who committed suicide because of their roommate’s private video. Everyone who has proposed a sleep adjustment has his own reasons. Who is that reason? do you remember? It's even more subtle under co-renting. There was a colleague next to me who refused to cook because of my roommate, and all three meals a day were resolved at the unit: "I can’t just let her cook." If you don’t sleep at night like this, you can’t sleep in the morning and treat the house as a dog. Buddies who lay down and harass the people's violin, how much courage do you have to stay?
That's why Watson was born. Not only did he stay, but he became his partner. Walk into his world, accept everything about him, and even know how to "strategic" care about him. When Robert Downey Jr. exaggerated Fu's weirdness and abnormality to the extreme, he became more and more contrasted with how precious Hua's tolerance and understanding are. Everyone hopes to have a confidant who "accepts me", whether it is a lover or a friend. Everyone knows that they are not perfect, so they all hope that their shortcomings can be forgiven in this harsh world, even in front of one person. At this time, the incredible harmony of Fu and Hua has a huge appeal. That kind of willingness to take on the role of a stranger detective is not so much out of expectations of my own personality, as it is to enjoy the existence of a doctor-even if it is different, I am still not alone.
But Watson's tolerance is not a sacrifice of "selflessness" after all. Unlike the two protagonists in "X-Men" who are both "Superman" and just disagree, even a Watson who loves more adventurous life is still an "ordinary person." He has to go down the "road of ordinary people" and get married and start a family. This fact caused the world of Fu to be violently shocked, and the long-term "oneness" caused a sense of dependence that was difficult to break away. In fact, deep down in his heart, he knew very well that everything about himself was a trouble. He has no right to ask Watson or anyone to stay in his alternative world. The most deadly line is the truth: I will die alone. This is the greatest destiny of every freak, if they always refuse to change themselves.
Therefore, being buried with Moriarty under the waterfall is the most suitable ending. Sir Doyle thought so. It was only the subsequent "public opinion reaction" that made him have to make "Return" again. The film version's deliberately sensational arrangement, but inadvertently reveals the possible thoughts in Fu's subconscious: this is the only thing I can do for you, my friend.
You accepted everything from me: grumpy, undressed, sleepless nights and nights, gossiping, destruction of things, and cold talk. . . Also risked my life with me. I have not been scared off by my weird character, and I have not stayed away because I hang around on the margins of society. I trust you, although I don't know if you are really happy. But I would like to protect you with my life. You own the world, so you can give me a lot, and I only own myself, so I can only give you so much.
Now I want to finish my journey. Thank you for your friendship, friend.
