Afterthought

Some feelings

1) Only the opening part of the movie is interesting. At the beginning, I shouldn't expect it as a reasoning film, but as a comedy, but the reasoning behind it is not good or funny. Perhaps no matter how good a screenwriter is, he is still too confident if he does not rely on adapting those great mystery novels, but hopes to make a great mystery movie by himself. I have seen few mystery films, and the most exciting mystery films in my impressions are all adapted from great mystery novels.

2) Some dialogues are still very clever, but it feels too little.

3) When it comes to inference movies, it is doomed to be disappointed.

4) I don’t watch the master’s movies. I wanted to watch all of his movies, but I downloaded two high-definition movies without subtitles, and the enthusiasm for watching movies has cooled down.

5) It's fun to be able to joke about the Queen of England. I really hope that in the future, there will be movies about Cixi or Wu Zetian. It feels like Galeries Lafayette should be funny.

6) Looking at Sherlock Holmes, he usually only cares about reasoning and ingenuity or mean dialogue. Lace is really boring, so boring.

The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes quotes

  • Nikolai Rogozhin: Mr. Holmes, what you have seen tonight is last, and positively final performance of Madame Petrova. She is retiring.

    Holmes: What a shame.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: She's been dancing since she was three years old, and after all, she is now thirty-eight.

    Holmes: I must say, she doesn't *look* thirty-eight.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: That is because she is forty-nine.

  • Holmes: [after he learns Madame Petrova wants him to impregnate her] This is all very flattering, but surely there are other men, better men.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: To tell truth, you were not the first choice. We considered Russian writer, Tolstoy.

    Holmes: Oh, that's more like it. The man's a genius.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: Too old. Then we considered philosopher, Nietzsche.

    Holmes: Well, absolutely first-rate mind.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: Uh-uh. Too German. Then we considered Tchaikovsky.

    Holmes: Oh, you couldn't go wrong with Tchaikovsky.

    Nikolai Rogozhin: We could, and we did. It was catastrophe.

    Holmes: Why?

    Nikolai Rogozhin: You don't know? Because Tchaikovsky, how shall I put it? Women not his glass of tea.
