Although this film has many issues worth discussing, such as:
Why does Sherlock Holmes have a sister?
(There is no doubt about the legacy of "Shen Xia".)
Why are there so many lengthy and unnecessary fighting scenes?
(The legacy of "Detective Sherlock Holmes", it should be.)
Why is Sherlock Holmes so strong that he is always worried about the willows next to him?
(Probably the American aesthetic: any hero must have at least the figure of Superman or Captain America, and the figure without Thor is already restrained.)
Why does Miss Holmes always look into the camera like Fleabag and speak to the audience?
(It might be Phoebe Waller-Bridge red, it's popular now.)
Since it is an adventure/detective/feminist themed movie that has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes, why should it be set as a family drama for Sherlock Holmes?
(It's hot, what else can it be?)
But these are not the focus of this article. Given that the feminist theme of this film is very prominent, perhaps we should focus on a question that many men (and women) care about: As a man, how do we support (or not support) feminism?
The men in this film happen to be typical:
Negative Feminist Men: Brown Hat Men:
1. Spare no effort to persecute women by all means;
2. At the same time persecute men who sympathize with and help women (Lord Tewksbury), convinced that they are the scum of their own team, hate them even more than hate women;
3. Have a soft spot for violence;
4. I feel that what I do is not self-interested, and everything is for loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and upholding justice. (Death testimony: I am all for England.)
Zero Feminist Male: Mycroft Holmes:
1. In most cases, it can be controlled without violence, focusing on morality, brainwashing, rationality, objectivity, and mansplain;
2. Think that a woman must look like a woman;
3. Believe that you have the right to guide women how to live, think that what you do is for the good of women, "You can live a happy life/marry a good husband/have children and daughters/life is perfect", "you will Thanks to me";
4. Silently worried about "you (women) are going to rebel", but at least you can avoid swearing;
5. Critical issues come to the door, such as economic power still has to be held in the hands of men ("Give me money, give me real estate, don't grab my things").
60% Feminist Male: Sherlock Holmes (Although it is not easy to progress from the late stage of misogyny in the original book to this, but the times are different, let’s count as a passing score):
1. At least not actively participating when the above two types of men persecute women;
2. Be able to sympathize with women when they see women being severely persecuted;
3. Although there is no substantial help for women, at least they know how to shut up most of the time;
4. Sometimes it can give women some emotional support (for example, a childhood toy or something) without any expense;
5. How much willing to think and reflect, willing to change their own thoughts (Sherlock Holmes still grows and changes from the beginning to the end.)
Eighty to ninety sexist men: Lord Tewksbury :
1. Possess some characteristics that usually belong to the collection of female stereotypes, such as: gentle, good at listening, not showing toxic aggressiveness, softness, concession...In short, it is better to be "mother" (completely praised) than "father";
2. Willing to let women grasp the direction when they advance their affairs (little brother always sits in the passenger seat), respect women's decisions and autonomy;
3. Realize that you have privileges that women do not have in your hands;
4. The critical moment of voting is on the side of women.
The world will eventually become more equal, which is the general trend. Instead of attacking with gunpowder, it is better to actively refer to the above table to increase your score and move forward peacefully. (Don’t say this is too naive, this is just an entertaining comment.)
After all, this is just an entertainment-oriented feminist movie that has nothing to do with Holmes.
