Children's love is short, comradeship is deep

According to my understanding, Sherlock Holmes should be a tall, thin, hawk-nosed, hat-wearing English gentleman, while Dr. Watson is a short-statured, dull, dull, middle-aged, fat-looking man. But director Guy Ritchie chose Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law to play these two people. This is really unexpected. You must know that Robert Downey Jr. gives the impression of a prodigal son of medium stature and informality, while Jude Law is a beautiful man in the hearts of many girls. "Bad Boy" Holmes with the tall and handsome Doctor Watson? The joke is getting bigger.

The problem doesn't stop there. In all likelihood, viewers who have seen this film will doubt the sexual orientation of Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Aren't these two "comrades"?

The comradeship of the two is reflected in the film in many ways: from Sherlock Holmes deliberately sabotaging Watson's first blind date; from Watson's willingness to give up the second blind date for Sherlock Holmes; from Watson's life-threatening pounce; from Sherlock Holmes in Watson The money for the hospital bed has been lingering for a long time and he is unwilling to leave; from Sherlock Holmes who said "we" at every turn; from the fact that the two shared various daily necessities, even the dog they shared

; The characters are very different from what I imagined. I didn't realize until I watched it. It's really been a long time since I watched such a hearty movie: I played heartily, I laughed heartily, and there were foreshadowings buried everywhere, and I refused until the end. The mystery solved... oh my gosh, "Sherlock Holmes" seems to be made to my taste!

For me, a good movie first needs a good script. And a good script can be a good story that moves people's hearts, making people immersed in it and unable to extricate themselves. Or, just like Dan Brown, set up suspense, layer upon layer of suspense, attract the curiosity of the audience, do not reveal the mystery until the last minute, and after the mystery is revealed, it can justify itself and surprise the audience.

"Sherlock Holmes" belongs to the latter. The film sets all kinds of suspense from beginning to end, laying all kinds of foreshadowing - and laying the groundwork for the sequel.

In fact, Guy Ritchie turned the film into an action-comedy-drama.

Maybe, and gay films.

Sherlock Holmes quotes

  • Sherlock Holmes: [to Lord Blackwood] I wonder if they'd let Watson and me dissect your brain. After you hang, of course. I'd wager there would be some deformity that would be scientifically significant. In that way, at least, you could serve some kind of useful purpose.

  • Lord Coward: How terrible is wisdom, when it brings no profit to the wise.
