The Self-Redemption of Old Sherlock Holmes

After watching this movie with the feeling of watching a "suspense movie", I realized that it is a warm movie.
This is a film about the self-redemption of an old Sherlock Holmes, interspersed with several stories, who chooses self-imposed exile after failing to save the life of a lonely wife, and arrives at an old age because he cannot remember the reasons why he gave up his detective career. Japan pursues the "Iwasan pepper" that can delay aging, just to be able to write down the true ending of the case that was finally solved in his life. The story unfolds slowly. I originally thought I would see the solution of an unsolved case, but I inadvertently watched the inner transformation of the old Sherlock Holmes and the redemption of himself. After reading it, I felt a little helpless and a little sighed, but I also felt very warm.
Human nature cannot be explained by logic, and it is great to see that Sherlock Holmes can finally step down from the altar and have a little "humanity" when he is old.

    The prose style of the film, the rhythm and narrative is simply terrible, the story is not so good, high IQ can not beat the age. This is basically a nonsense, and I did not see any touch. It is an attempt to explore the inner world of Sherlock Holmes. In fact, in the end A mediocre literary film that doesn't solve anything.

    The ancients said: The old is like a famous mountain to the beginning. I don't know. What's more, it's the old realm of super-intelligence. If mortals (such as Watson) can't even understand their middle-aged victories, how can they understand that sad and happy evening scene. If Sherlock Holmes went to the cinema to watch this film, he would probably shake his head secretly. Even though the movie is pretty good, there is only one Everest in the world.

Mr. Holmes quotes

  • Sherlock Holmes: A man abandoned his family and wrote his son a story. He wouldn't be the first to cloak his cowardice in a flag of sacrifice.

  • [first lines]

    Sherlock Holmes: You shouldn't do that. Tap the glass.

    Boy: How did you know I was going to?

    Boy's Mother: You must forgive my son, he loves bees.

    Sherlock Holmes: It isn't a bee, it's a wasp. Different thing entirely.
