Conanized "Holmes"

I am an avid fan of fortune, so I don’t agree with Downey’s acting style, but I am not disgusted with this film, mainly because I didn’t treat this movie as "Holmes" from the beginning. When it comes to the film, I don't expect this film to be faithful to the original. With this mental preparation, if you want to watch this movie next, you can’t have too many complaints, because this is my choice, and in fact, I really can’t resist the temptation of the four characters "Holmes", so download Take a look at this piece.

Downey’s style really can’t give me the feeling of “This is Sherlock Holmes”. I am not 100% satisfied with famous Sherlock Holmes actors such as BR and JB, but they still have the kind of “gentleman” demeanor, Tang The only plot in the Nepalese version that I think is pretty good is the psychological description of Holmes in boxing, which is very humorous.

Compared with Sherlock Holmes, the image of Pian Zhonghua Sheng is somewhat close to the original. Although he quarrels with Lao Fu from time to time, there is no one who knows and understands Lao Fu better than him. Just as JB said, "Sherlock Holmes" What the Detective Collection itself tells is a great friendship.

The ending of the film is almost a reappearance of the theater version of "Detective Conan". After the prisoner is almost settled, he will talk about his reasoning for a long time in front of the prisoner, but fans know that Sherlock Holmes has never done this. , Its handling of cases is known for its simplicity and directness.

As for putting Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler together, it was extremely vulgar. In the original book, Irene’s cleverness and wit is awe-inspiring. She is the most admired woman in Holmes’s life. Perhaps because of this, many people always read the mandarin ducks and ignore the fact that Irene already has a husband named Norton, and the husband and wife The two are still very affectionate... If

there is something about this film that makes me feel good, it is the setting, which is really good-looking, but unfortunately the author didn't put much effort into the atmosphere, so that there is a gorgeous shell in the air.

If this film is scored based on the plot, I will give it 7 points, but if it is to be measured by the "Holmes" standard, I'm sorry, the film failed.

But after watching the end, it seems that there will be a sequel in the future, and if there is one, I will continue to watch it.


Sherlock Holmes has now become synonymous with "the detective", but if you read the original, you will find an amazing fact: Sherlock Holmes has the "lowest" rate of solving crimes among many famous detectives!

There are a total of 60 cases in the original "Holmes", but the unsuccessful cases are as follows:

Directly defeated by the opponent: "The Bohemia Scandal"

ended in failure due to a misjudgment: "Five Orange Cores"

mastered a little Clues, but unable to continue the investigation: "Three Masted Sailing Ship" and "Engineer's Thumbs Case"

ascertained the basic facts, but failed to apprehend the prisoner: "Identity Case", "Hospitalized Patient", "Securities Broker's Case" "The Clerk" and "The Greek Translator"

solved the case, but lost to their opponents: "Uncanny Valley"

criminals were not brought to justice by Holmes: "Mir Wharton" is

purely an ordinary event of Sherlock Holmes's over-sensitivity: "Yellow Noodles" There are a


total of 12 cases in the above , "The Missing Zhongwei" and above, accounting for 20% of the original work. Including some cases in which Holmes’ misjudgment resulted in the death of the client or other important persons, the unsuccessful rate is just It’s even bigger. In other words, Holmes’s detection rate is below 80%, which is far lower than Conan, Kanadaichi, Poirot, 007 and other detectives...

In these unsuccessful cases, the "Bohemian" It was Irene Adler who defeated Holmes in the "Scandal" incident.

In addition to the "lower" crime detection rate than other famous detectives, Holmes has many shortcomings: withdrawn personality, likes to smoke, sometimes arrogant, not good at communicating widely, and has many vices such as playing the violin in the middle of the night and practicing shooting at the wall. , In addition, there is a tendency to "otaku"...

After all, Holmes is indistinguishable from any ordinary person except for a detective ability. He is not a "magic power", but a enthusiast who is keen on studying crimes. He has been studying crimes for a long time. In this respect, he has more insights than others, and in other respects, he is almost an idiot, just like many people who have a skill and are not good at doing other things.

But isn't it because of this that Holmes is obviously more flesh-and-blood, more authentic and credible? Not because of this, so although later novels and movies appeared more powerful and invincible detectives, but only the name of Sherlock Holmes is always used to praise a person's efficiency in solving crimes?

He looks cold and ruthless, but he has an upright and kind heart; he looks arrogant, but he knows how to respect others best; he is taciturn, but understands love better than anyone. He is just not good at expressing himself, but this does not mean that he has no emotions.


Maybe it’s because Japanese detective novels have read too much. Many people imagine the word "inference" too sacred, as if only a great detective can "reason", as if only to list a lot of complicated "clues" and finally let you "guess" "Guess who I am" can be called "inference". In fact, reasoning is very close to our lives. For example, let you observe a table with many scratches, and infer what equipment the traces on the table are made of. After reading it carefully, you think the scratches are very fine. It can't be caused by a very thick iron tool, it's probably scratched by a knife. To draw more reasonable conclusions based on observations is simple reasoning.

The biggest advantage of "Sherlock Holmes" is that it is very reasoning, and many detectives are very professional. Of course, some of the cases in the book are more conjectured, and the later "Crawler" is simply science fiction, but the overall level of case handling in the book is still very high, and it is often referred to by police officers in reality. For example, Holmes in "Spotted Belt" deals with prisoners very professionally. He first understands the prisoners' living conditions, then sneaks into the house to investigate while the prisoners are out, and then transfers those who may be killed by the prisoners to other places. Later, I found a place to ambush outside the house, waited until midnight to sneak in again, and finally stopped the prisoner in time when committing the crime, and all evidence was obtained.

In an era when there were no criminal teaching books, many cases in "Holmes" were used as teaching materials by the police, even to this day, in some American police schools.


If anyone in the world hates Sherlock Holmes, it is Arthur Conan Doyle. Any anti-Fuist must take a back seat in front of Doyle. Conan Doyle never thinks "Holmes" is his best work, he prefers his other works and the protagonist. It is precisely because Conan Doyle does not like Holmes, so he is not stingy to make Holmes make a fool of himself in the story, and he also describes the various character defects of Old Fu, but the irony is that the more Conan Doyle writes like this, the more readers become I like Sherlock Holmes, so that when Conan Doyle killed Lao Fu in "The Last Case", he actually caused strong protests from countless readers, and even went to his house to scold him as the author. Only then did Conan Doyle understand that "Holmes" "It's no longer owned by him alone, he wants to write badly, and readers still complain.

    Completely stunned by the performances and lines of the two male protagonists, the witty words are in a row! This is a suspenseful detective movie that promotes science to dispel superstition. I don't know what the second part is about!
