Judging from the layout of the scene, it looks like a deadly magic trick, and there is even a section about the detention center, which is set in London in the second half of the 19th century, and the duel between Sherlock Holmes and Blackwood is very similar to the duel between the two magicians. . At the historical intersection of the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution, the film uses a lot of ingenious mechanical devices, but Blackwood wants to use black magic as a guise to rule Congress, but uses chemical, electrical and radio technology , the high-tech device was stolen, and the last sentence of Sherlock Holmes was "that (technology) is the future", which makes people feel fear and anticipation at the coming turn of the century. These two intertwined emotions are exactly what the film always rendered in .
Blackwood uses cults and dark magic as a means of righting himself. The suspense and the code that Sherlock Holmes needs to crack to find the ceremony site are very much like angels and devils. They are all at a relatively turbulent time, and traditional religion and technology are in conflict. collision. The opening of the coffin and the autopsy, the drawing of a cross on the map, and the confrontation in the study are all similar.
Sherlock Holmes, played by Robert Jr., is a great detective who is greasy and crooked, and looks very much like Letterman in LIE TO ME, and he also has an "ex-wife" by his side. I believe that Letterman's shape is more or less derived from Sherlock Holmes (both are not serious, but observant detectives), but this Sherlock Holmes is too unlike the Sherlock Holmes in our traditional impression, with a strong sense of modernity, So I still see the shadow of Letterman in it. So I couldn't help but imagine, what would it be like if TIM ROTH played the role? The friendship between Watson and Sherlock Holmes has already been rendered as basic by the director in this film. I am not dissatisfied with the two actors, but when I saw the basic film, my first reaction was to recommend EWAN MCGREGOR to play! It's even more ecstasy~~❤
The original sound is also the work of HANS ZIMMER. If you don't read the author first, you can hear his taste just by listening, because the brisk main melody in the original sound is very similar to the music and style of Pirates of the Caribbean. , ZIMMER's works are all high-quality, and the films that can be composed by ZIMMER must be well-made, and ZIMMER has made a box office guarantee for this film.
So in the end, I recommend watching "Deadly Magic" if you like "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes". After all, "Deadly Magic" precedes Sherlock Holmes.
