And Sherlock again!
Before the cinemas began to sell tickets for “Sherlock Holmes” I heard a lot of negativity and the address of the filmmakers, that they insult the beloved hero, distort the events of the book, and all that. As for me, at one time I read all the books about the great detective, I know by heart all the series of the Soviet version of the film adaptation of stories, which allows me to judge the new film fairly objectively, comparing it with the originals. And I can tell you that it wasn't bad. That's great!
The director introduced us to Sherlock Holmes from the other side, but who said he couldn't be like that? Of course, he could solve any crime without leaving home, but at the same time let’s look at him: a lover of reincarnation in other people, a lover of experiments, etc. Maybe he wasn’t as calm and calm as we thought he was? It seems to me that a person with such interests and talents should be inclined to adventure.
This is about the character of the main character, let’s move on. The film itself is shot magnificently, excellent scenery, selection of actors, each coped with their task one hundred percent, the atmosphere immerses in England of that time with its romance, dangers and life full of adventures.
Do not treat this film as a detailed adaptation of the books about Sherlock, but the director does not claim to be fully consistent with the original.
Just enjoy a beautiful adventure film with great acting, good music and you will be passionate about the story of the lives of two loyal friends until the last minute of the film.
And by the way, for the opponents of the film, perhaps the youth did not read the books, but after watching the exciting movie, I am sure many will read them with pleasure and discover their Sherlock, which may be different from all the options that were presented on the screen for all time.
