One wonders why all this craze in Hollywood have to report again on the screen, maybe with a new look, characters from literature or film. The crisis of eternal ideas of film stars and stripes forces producers to fish in the dusty drawers in search of stories and characters for dusting, polishing, often disrupting and ultimately reject on the market. Sometimes this technique is useful and good idea, as is the case with Batman that Nolan has taken the talent to fly over the rooftops of Gotham as not vedavamo the time of Tim Burton.
Often, however, this procedure allows time for rejuvenation is that, as in the case of Sherlock Holmes and Guy Ritchie returns to the screen turning completely.
leave aside the differences between the original and Ritchie's Sherlock Conan Doyle because we know how Hollywood thinks, but one question springs to mind. Why bring to the screen a cult figure as the world's most famous private investigator, if he's alter ego on the screen is completely different from that of literature? Was not the first to create a character from scratch, like they did the creators of Dr. House that clearly were inspired by the creature to Arthur Conan Doyle? Obviously the answer is purely commercial. The name Sherlock Holmes attracts the audience more of an unknown, and so half the promotion work is done.
In the work of modernization, however, something is lost, or rather has come to turn a bright (and insane) detective in a sort of superhero, with not only high intellectual capacity (as the original), but even a view superfine, a sense of smell is able to catch every nuance of a fine fragrance and a hearing. In fact, the film qualities of the investigator at most are exaggerated. E 'ability to see things that human eyes would not be able to grasp. In the journey blindfolded coach can even smell the freshly baked bread and perceive the odor of a particular bakery. Or he can see the shades of color in the eyes of those who run. Holmes becomes more short than brilliant supernatural. It almost seems like the protagonist of the show "The Sentinel" (just what the powers that own them really).
While the idea is very good reasons to show how his mind before performing an action, the other the way they collect information turns out to be exaggerated and the audience is completely cut off because he can not keep up and to see even one of the clues that instead he includes in an instant.
It 's true that even in the Doyle stories, the reader knows nothing about the track followed by Sherlock and only at the end, when the detective unmasks the culprit, he realizes that what happened, but in that case there is one: to tell the story is Dr. Watson, who like characteristics is more similar to us. Even he could not follow the reasoning of his friend and we ended up having to ally with which to try to follow the plot. But here the viewer is alone. We follow Holmes in his investigation, and we see out details of a superhero with the ability to pick up clues as dandelion or piping without understanding how they can be useful to the investigation. About
investigation. But that is the case be resolved? In Sherlock Holmes back to life, the filmmakers have forgotten to give him a case to solve. Generally in English author's stories, Holmes is called upon to solve a murder connotations unexplained. For example, a man killed in a room locked from inside. Well, apparently impossible to solve a mystery, except that the private detective Sherlock Holmes. In this case, however, you do not understand wherein lies the mystery. Everything in life comes from the return of Lord Blackwood, who was hanged and pronounced dead by the same Dr. Watson. This is really a mystery, however, that sin is discovered immediately that things are less "inexplicable" because it looks into the coffin, instead of the Blackwood, another corpse is found and then it is easy to deduce that in reality does not Blackwood is not dead. We must then find and discover his plan. Ok, but the rest is completely incomprehensible to the viewer.
The history of the 4 elements, for example, it is impossible to understand, as well as why the tombstone has been destroyed (among other things, motivation is unlikely), the relationship between Coward and Lord Blackwood (also discovered here, thanks the super view of Holmes), the identity of the mysterious and so on. The viewer does nothing more than passively follow the story without being able to solve the case (because you do not understand where is the mystery) and simply observes Holmes clues clues with his superhuman sense of smell until you get to kill Blackwood.
It is no accident in fact, that history is not taken from a story by Arthur Conan Doyle, but was created by sound almost unknown plant from the trio of writers who clearly do not know what the story is "yellow."
"Sherlock Holmes" is revealed for what they wanted to be. A light-hearted and entertaining film, thanks to the extraordinary talent of Robert Downey Jr. An American who has nothing to do with the true adventures of the real Sherlock Holmes and that is very different from other products made in USA.
