Speaking of Sherlock Holmes, I immediately think of a hook-nosed British uncle wearing a top hat, a white stiff-neck shirt and black overalls. Although the uncle occasionally takes two shots of cocaine and has a bad temper and irregular diet, no matter how decadent he is, he still has a sub-British aristocratic spirit. In the past films and televisions about Sherlock Holmes, the actors and the rhythm of the film basically restored the temperament of the original book, so when I saw the Sherlock Holmes version of Guy Ritchie and Robert Downey Jr., it was amazing.

Sherlock Holmes's original novel is like a symphony, with exquisite structure, clear characters, and ups and downs in the story. Unfortunately, not many people really understand it. The new version of "Sherlock Holmes" is like the rock band Queen playing this symphony, with a fast rhythm. Now, the characters are ruffian, the action is bigger, the story is more fashionable, and of course more people understand it. Even if you don't understand it, twisting your waist twice with the rhythm can be regarded as a feeling of being able to integrate into it. In other words, even viewers who aren't too fond of Sherlock Holmes' classic reasoning process will be able to enjoy watching Downey's cool hand-to-hand fights a few times.

Downey has the handsomeness of a bohemian decadent aristocrat, which can be reconciled with Jude Law's pure English gentleman's temperament. Their temperament made Holmes and Watson have a completely different interpretation from then on. The temperament of Earl Kuroki is interpreted by Mark Strong, who has played the godfather. Naturally, he has the aura to compete with the great detective. The performance of the actress is mediocre because of the script, but then again, women are never the protagonists in Guy Ritchie's films. But in fact, the most dazzling parts of the film are the supporting actors who are so ugly. For example, the big man who abolished a shipyard has not seen such a strong supporting role in a movie for a long time since the death of Da Jinya in 007.

Guy Ritchie's films will never be cold, but there will also be fragmented films. There are obvious traces of mtv-style shots, but the story is not strong. The story performance of "The Great Detective Holmes" this time is quite dazzling. It should be It also has a lot to do with the background of the comic book adaptation of the same name by Lionel Wigram. Guy Ritchie's previous works are best at developing multiple clues and multiple characters at the same time. This time, due to the limitations of the original work, it is impossible to introduce too many characters. All the stories revolve around Sherlock Holmes and Watson, which naturally makes the protagonist's The image is more vivid. Such a breakthrough also makes us look forward to Guy Ritchie's future works even more.

The film left a tail at the end. Professor Moriarty, the old enemy of Sherlock Holmes in the original book, will definitely appear in the sequel. Earl Blackwood is just a pathfinder. Moriarty, who is as smart and more charismatic as Sherlock Holmes, is a ruthless character. , Who will play such an important role? British, with a strong aura, suitable for acting as a bad guy, it is estimated that most of them are Fiennes who played Voldemort and was selected to play the role of the professor. Well, it's worth looking forward to.

A little gossip, the bad temper of Sheldon Cooper in "The Big Bang Theory" is actually quite similar to the big detective in the original book. Since Guy Ritchie can make a ruffian version of Sherlock Holmes, it seems that Larry can also make up An episode of "The Big Bang Theory: The Big Detective" came out for the nerds to enjoy.

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.
