I've been wanting to watch this film for a long time, and Sir Ian McLean's performance did not disappoint. However, the depression after watching it kept flooding into my heart, and this depression runs through the whole film. Not even finding a place to vent.
I love Sherlock Holmes, except for the basic deduction method, whether it is the original book, the book, or RDJ's Sherlock, they all fit the image of Sherlock Holmes in my heart (at least part of it does), but this Sherlock Holmes, I really Can't like it.
He is old, his hobby of playing the violin has been given up because of arthritis, his memory like a camera has become unable to remember the client's name, the sword-wielding hand has picked up a cane, and even the pride of going to the meeting by himself has changed. Become now kneeling on the ground to confess to a mediocre woman. I really can't bear to see my former hero become like this, but the fact is, this hero has been a legend all his life, and there will be a day when he will grow old.
After watching the movie, many clips floated through my mind, including Benny's and RDJ's. I suddenly remembered what he looked like when he was young, which is probably the way the two of them acted, even more arrogant and conceited than them. , and more condescending.
But in the end, he did pay the price for his arrogance. Ann's death was inseparable from his overconfidence. Mr. Mei Qi also vowed never to contact him again. The housekeeper hated him so much that she wanted to. Moved to Portsmouth, and even Watson, his lifelong friend, ended up not knowing him in his mouth.
In the end, he was redeemed and turned into a mediocre old man. I still can't bear to see my hero die peacefully in bed at the end, because he is so special. But I can really accept that he had a mediocre ending in the end, because his life was so sad, unfortunate, and lonely...
