The helplessness presented in the film is heart-wrenching. The old Sherlock Holmes is sitting on the edge of a chair, his eyes have lost their former brilliance, and the memory of the cases he has handled is fragmented. The unremembered sadness still makes the viewers move across the screen, not to mention how the parties will feel in their hearts.
When I think of Bai Xianyong's memories of his father Bai Chongxi standing at the elementary school ceremony and talking to the elementary school students below, he is still the general of the past, but there is no such battlefield anymore. He is under house arrest by Jiang, time is fleeting, and the former hero grows old, he can't bear it. Watching my father cry, yes, this is helplessness in the face of time.
Sherlock Holmes was helpless in the face of time, and went to Japan to find Sansho hoping to restore his memory, but it was useless. Hiding in a small house by the sea, keeping bees, and keeping friends with the housekeeper's son, the old Sherlock Holmes lost his arrogance and indifference, and became more human.
The case that he could never recall was finally completed one by one in the continuation of the movie. It turned out to be such a simple case, so simple, but why such a simple case made Holmes leave London. Facing the complex human emotions and human nature, this highly intelligent detective discovered the fragility of reason, but the omnipotence of reason was his belief all along. Being rational is fearless even in loneliness, but it was such a simple case. Let him discover for the first time that reason is not omnipotent, and loneliness is so huge. Watson's death was another blow.
Sherlock Holmes left London and lived alone. I believe he must be lonely, because how can a person who has only housekeepers changed one after another be not lonely. Fortunately, the last butler has a lovely, kind and intelligent son.
I think Holmes was shocked when he found the boy running between wasps and bees trying to save the bees. The purity and kindness were so moving.
Sherlock Holmes was sitting at the desk, talking nonsense in a serious manner, and writing to Medge. He who once believed in the omnipotence of reason had finally learned this kind of white lie.
A lifetime has passed, just like that. Goodbye, Mr. Holmes.
