"Detective Sherlock": The third child was silenced when he failed

The drama has not yet been released, and the circle of friends has exploded. Everyone is spoiling the real murderer, just like when the Conan movie was released. The author walked into the theater with a bloody face full of spoilers, only to find out that those spoilers were all horseshit! There is no real murderer in this special episode! It doesn't even count as a case.
As a Christmas special, the main responsibility of this episode is to link the previous and the next. After watching this episode, the author feels that although it was not successful, it did a very good job in succession. Audiences who have watched the third season of Sherlock are naturally familiar with the plot clues. Moriarty is back. Note that he is back, not resurrected from the dead. So Cumford fidgets, desperate to confirm if he's still alive. Therefore, I entered my dream on the plane, which was proved by another case. Some of the lines at the beginning of the episode suggest that this case is similar to the other, and that one needs to be solved before the other. You may feel confused at first, but at the end you will realize that it is a case in reality rather than a dream.
This episode can be divided into three parts: The Revenge of the Damned Bride, the Great Detective Uncovering the Conspiracy Organization, and the Unraveling of the Strong Enemy's Death Knot. The three parts are represented in three styles. The first part, as mentioned in the filmmaking special, has a Gothic horror, as if Tim Burton is possessed. The dark scenes, the five-fingered streets, the quiet manor, and the late-night maze, look quite weird in low-brightness and dark tones. However, the episode has a gothic horror shell without actually producing a sense of horror. In the process of watching the play, the author found several points that can create a frightening effect: the appearance of a street bride, a maze figure, a hole outside the glass, and a long white dress behind him. The timid audience screamed again and again. The style of the second part has changed, giving people the illusion of watching a cult conspiracy theory movie. The feminist organization, which is quite like a cult, held a meeting. That scene also made the author feel that there should be a scary point here. This part of Sherlock begins to expose the truth of the hateful bride's case, until Moriarty appears in a wedding dress, and the second phase ends. Looking through the first two stages, what the author saw was not a reasoning drama with strict logic and mysterious methods, but a very cult horror movie. The focus of the plot description is no longer the case and reasoning, but the rendering of horror, bizarre and fantasy. From this point of view, the atmosphere creation in the first two stages was not satisfactory, and it was only one step short of creating an actual frightening effect, otherwise it would be better.
In the third stage, many viewers who have not watched the episode may complain that they cannot understand it, and they are not sure why. In the third part of the plot, Cuan Fu constantly travels through dreams, going back and forth between past and present dreams, and finally arrives at the famous Reichenbach Falls. Moriarty frequently appeared in various stages of the play, disturbing the thinking of Curl Fu, and this stage finally got out of hand. And that's where previous cases came into play. At first I wondered what was the purpose of such a mediocre case, with Moriarty popping up from time to time. In fact, this case is probably also virtualized in the mind by Curly Fu, just to convince himself that Moriarty is indeed dead. When a bride dies, thousands of brides step up to replace her. In the same way, if a Moriarty dies, there will be thousands of Moriartys who will stand up. That's why Cumford says at the end of the episode that Moriarty is not alive, but back.
If it wasn't to be shown in the cinema, many non-drama fans might not choose to watch it. After all, this is just a special episode of the drama, specially prepared for drama fans. Therefore, Moriarty and the entanglement between Curly Fu and Watson may be more attractive than the plot and the case. This episode also handles those things very well. In the first two stages, Cumford revealed his true feelings to Watson. In the third stage, when Cumford was fighting with Moriarty at the Reichenbach Falls, Watson appeared at the right time and kicked him off the cliff. Isn't this not Cumford's subconscious mind? hope to appear. In his own dream, he himself admitted that he was willing to elope with Watson. Poor Moriarty, the third party could not intervene, but was killed by her lover and her first wife.

    I don’t know how to spoil the movie party, the magic of the brain, gorgeous Pre-Season ads.

    S4's super long preview, a dream for a hundred years, and a good idea to defeat the demons. But there are also disappointments, such as using "five orange cores" bluntly (especially in the same attire as the 3K Party, babbled). The stereotype of the Chinese is still outdated. As a staunch opponent, Doyle does not know how he feels about "a war that is doomed to fail". In any case, 1895 is always fascinating, plus half a star.
