In London in 1895, the two of Moffat and Mark must have thought about it countless times. After all, they are the big fans, but they obviously will not be satisfied with the orthodox filming of "Sherlock Holmes". . The kind of things that countless people have done countless times, including things that Conan Doyle himself didn't do well. How could it interest the big fans. So an Inception space interspersed with Doctor Who's journey through time and space was staged in Sherlock's head.
This special series pays tribute to Inception is very obvious. Unreal factors appear in the dream and the house furnishings shake and fall, diving against a waterfall, and a plane landing to awaken the characters. It's just that the foundation of the illusion is not the science fiction dream machine, but the 7% solution. He even created a dream in a decent way. In the illusion created by these drugs, there are a total of 5 levels of dreams, the first level of 221B in the Victorian era, the second level of 221B where Moriarty appeared, the third level of the church revealing the truth, the fourth level of modern search for the bride’s graveyard, Lessing Heroes of Bach Falls save the fifth floor of the United States. The 221B in the final finale returned to the modern era. This was just a small trick Moffat wanted to confuse everyone.
All those beautiful Victorian scenes, those beautiful stop-motion shots, those tribute points that are ubiquitous in the original work, I won’t say much if everyone knows it, and Moffat also introduced it like an old mother in the opening. Up.
