In My Fair Lady, Jeremy Brett played the love struck courtier of the lovely Audrey Hepburn, character. What amazed me was that Jeremy Brett had a nice singing voice. A man of many talents. He was also very good looking.
@SaranDobby You cannot know how much of a shock it was reading your comment. My mom and I have watched My Fair Lady at least once every few months since I was old enough to appreciate it. On the Street Where You Live is always our favorite part. I literally had no idea that it was Jeremy Brett. I have only recently gotten into this series and love it, and I am completely, utterly astounded. I had to go and check for myself. This is an amazing connection, thank you so much for mentioning it!
Basil Rathbone was a fine actor, but his Holmes was always too hearty and wholesome for me. You could never imagine him shooting cocaine, and he never showed the misanthropy that made the Holmes character so interesting. Brett really got the edgier aspects of Holmes.
The series of Granada , after 25 years are still greatly admired and praised. I just wonder what would be the fate of this new movie not after 25 but only after 5 years
To all you people who prefer the book over this or the movie......how bout you just go and read the book??? Makes more sense to me. I have never understood these immature post battles....and for a fictional character at that?!?! Is it that serious? Why not enjoy it....or spend that energy in making your own version of Sherlock Holmes, Optimus Prime, or whatever you no-life nerds choose to bicker on? Everyone has their own opinion.....mine is ROBERT DOWNEY JR ROCKS!!!!
@NiceBoyGAGA Sherlock was not supposed to be a funny character in the first place, as as for Robert Downey Jr. i didn't find as intriguing or serious as Shelock Holmes is supposed to be.
@MBW9780 I know it's not supposed to be funny. But let's just face it, watching Robert Downey Jr as Sherlock Holmes is way better than this !!! That's all. I mean it's my personal opinion. I'd ABSOLUTELY choose RD Jr over this one. It's makes the movie more fun, attractive to watch and it's serious too!! But I appreciate your opinion. Everyone has his own taste.
Jeremy Brent as Holmes: not as distant (Holmes sits for hours without moving lost in thought), nor as cerebral (Holmes is inventing when not investigating when not researching when not working with chemical theory), nor as rough about the edges (Brent is somewhat "prissy" compared to the well-exercised hard as nails Holmes...who can bend iron bars and render strong bullies unconscious).
Brett is the ultimate Holmes. Sometimes it seems like it’s not him to incarnate Holmes according to the descriptions of Conan Doyle but it was Conan Doyle who took him into consideration when was creating the character of Holmes.
Omg I have and have read ALL the Sherlock Holmes stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote! The Adventure of the Dying Detective is my personal favorite. Oh, and I'm an Anglophile!
I'm not sure if I'm going to see this, as I've been trying to read this story and am still not finished, and I don't know if I'd like to see the ending...
@cesspitpool keep watching! If you love the Canon you'll appreciate this episodes- they are the best adaptations IMHO and it's not only because of Brett (though obviously he's brilliant as Holmes) but also attention to details, the cast, the music - everything is very true to the spirit of the Canon.
Watching this for the first time ever. I love the books and I've heard great things about this show (and, ok, Jeremy Brett is really hot). So excited!
I adore this rendition of Watson, for a long time he was the only caricature I felt paid the book any justice. he's sweet, he's ironic and he has the normal level of intelligence which makes him the perfect stand-in for the audience. Jeremy is perfectly matched here and its marvelous.
Cielos, Jeremy Brett es el actor que más se parece físicamente a Holmes. Tiene la misma altura, el mismo color castaño en el cabello, la misma piel pálida, los mismos ojos grises. Actúa un poco exagerado, pero reencarna perfectamente a Holmes. "Un escándalo en Bohemia" es uno de los mejores cuentos de Arthur Conan Doyle. Supuestamente es policíaco sin ambargo, él le pone un toque de romanticismo.
Nothing beats the book(s) and original stories, but Jeremy Brett is about as close as you can get on screen. I didn't mind Downey's portrayal, but his Holmes seemed a little too youthful and juvenile for me. But perhaps that is exactly what Guy Ritchie wanted to show - I believe Ritchie's exact words were to show a young Sherlock in his "learning curve" phase. Can't wait for the sequel - I hear Daniel Day Lewis (or Brad Pitt) is playing Prof Moriarty, with Stephen Fry playing Mycroft (perfect).
I'm so glad I have the ability to love every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes I see. It seems very frustrating to be constantly playing "My Holmes is better than your Holmes."
Every new adaptation brings something different to appreciate. Love it all in different ways ♥
@xSlashtastic I fully agree :) Same here! Each adaptation has it's own charm and interesting parts, and 'changes' from the books are what makes each adaptation individually interesting.
Oh dear god, I love this comment so much! Cause I also hate this constant fight about "the best" vs "the worst". I´m totally in love with Jeremy Brett but this dosn´t mean that I can´t love any other Holmes.
@xSlashtastic Indeed. Have you seen the Russian version? I must confess to thinking it'd be "inferior" but it's actually extraordinarily good. Look it up if you have the chance.
@xSlashtastic Yes, I used to be like that too (before I discovered this xD, now Brett's my favourite), except I disliked the one with Robert Downey Jr.
@xSlashtastic Oh I completely agree, all the ones I've seen have something different to love (well maybe not the Wishbone one, but hey, it was a kid's show so I'll let Holmes as a jack russell and Irene Adler's Renee Zelweger drag pass)
@xSlashtastic I know what you mean, but you have to admit that Jeremy Brett was pretty damn special in this role. For me, this TV version surpassed most if not all of the big screen Holmes productions, and I'm no fan of TV as a rule. I could watch Brett for hours and never grow tired of his expression, his total engagement with and astounding evocation of Conan Doyle's wonderful character.
in truth, Jeremy Brett is, in my opinion, sherlock holmes in the flesh, brought to life from the books and into the tv series. the sherlock holmes i imagined when i read the stories.
@cha5 If You Want Completely Departed Just Look At The New Sherlock Holmes That Was A Failure Of A Film, 50% Of It He Was Just Running Around Fighting In Slow Motion.
@Tadddius That movie did alright at the box office, but it just wasn't something I was partial to, trying to turn Holmes into a Victorian Indiana Jones.
Brett for me always brought more humanity to Holmes as a character than Downey and all those headache inducing CGI effects.
@Tadddius Livanov was memorable but he never brought the humanity to Holmes that Brett did, plus having the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra blasting away whenever he appeared on scene like he was royalty got a bit old and tedious.
@Tadddius My all time favorite Holmes actors would be
1.Jeremy Brett
2. Peter Cushing
3. Arthur Wontner
4. Livanov 5. Basil Rathbone (not really any closer to Doyle's character than Downey was, but there was always something iconic about Rathbone as Holmes, especially in the first two Sherlock Holmes films) 6. Rupert Everett (someone who is actually close to Holmes's age as described in the Canon in his thirties :O and is memorable)
this is suppose to be the only woman Holmes admire and kept her photo with him. his only weakness, yet the only love toward a woman he was to feel ..in his distant way.
its a shame that at least 90% of these comments are people who know bugger all about the series and the character being put right by more knowledgeable fans, instead of 90% being praises and quotes
@samster978 you lack experience with the books i take it. although the movie was good and displayed many of holmes' qualities it was very different to the books, mainly because it was made for a modern audience. this series was made for those who wanted to see the books as close as possible on screen with the original style preserved
@digikate813 yeah but thats the way they generally introduce the pair. its the same with the new bbc adaptation. the first is called a study in pink but features the reference to watson's brother's watch (in this case a phone).
@dwax8: What I like about the new movie is that it goes more into depth about Holmes' relationship with Watson, and the fight/explosion/getting high scenes. It wasn't exactly like Holmes of the books, but it definitely showed some important things that were from the books and very much missed in the Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone films.
@TheBex1910 The new film used story elements from stories that either occurred directly or indirectly. Example, Holmes shot VRs in the wall of his room in the story 'His Last Bow' like in the movie
His fighting skills were documented in the 'Final Problem' as well as 'The Sign of the Four' (where he is heralded as a skilled amateur boxer by another boxer) and his condescending arrogance yet caring attitude towards Watson, in pretty much every story. The new movie is surprisingly well done.
@TheBex1910 There were plenty of Getting high scenes in this series and most of the Fighting scenes in the Canon are shown here. And the Rathbone films had plenty of fighting during it's climaxes.
I liked how they showed Holmes's drug addiction right from the start -- no hiding it. They were perfectly honest about it. That would probably be a risky move even then. And I always loved that line: "I am lost without my Boswell." The way Jeremy portrays it you can tell he truly means it.
I LOVE Irene Adler! She is so cool. And so unlike most women of her time! They were just supposed to sit there, not think for themselves, look pretty, marry a wealthy husband, and bear strong sons. But Irene is like "Hell no!". She thinks for herself, and does whatever she damn well pleases. Go Irene!
thats the problem with the new twist tho: its not holmes, not the original book one at least. the 'smart bad boy' is more of a wise but immature, needy guy. in my opinion, they just made a script, gave the characters the name of watson and holmes, gave each a cane, and rolled the cameras. bc of the twist they didnt capture the very essence of holmes: a quiet, detached, educated brain solving most cases smoking a pipe on a chair. i had always admired him for that, and it was missing.
i always saw holmes as a bit of a very witty dick though, he most certainly isn't a goody goody boy, he hangs out with the city's rif raf in opium dens, is supposed to be a hell of a boxer in the ring (which back then meant underground fighting) and was trying to get high when he got bored...
he's got more of a goody good boy than a smart bad boy in him. he hangs out in opium dens only when necessary (like when looking for some woman's husband, tho i dont doubt he enjoyed the atmosphere) and he was a boxer BEFORE he became a detective, even tho he still uses those skills when he's up against some rough guys (as i see it, he sort of abandoned the boxer days). and yeah, he tried getting high on coke when bored. i recognize that bad boy in him, but it was too much in RDJ; it didnt work.
@BlueStrikeP but if you read the stories , he takes care of his appearance and his grooming habit is "cat like' and very looks professional even when high.
@BlueStrikeP He didn't hang out in the opium dens. Just one story while undercover and in that same story it is said that he doesn't do Opium. And he didn't try to get high, he GOT high. with a ringer of Cocaine, 7%.
@BlueStrikeP: Yes, but apart from that he had very good manners, had no interest in sexual affairs and although he sometimes tended to be a bit arrogant, he was so not in a way typical 'manly' men are. Thus, the recent movie wasn't about our famous Holmes, it was about someone else who happened to possess the same name and be a 'detective'.
@BlueStrikeP xDDDD roflmao well, when you put it like that....xD love the 'and was trying to get high wheen he got bored' lmao So, now, I guess he wasn't a goody goody at all...huh...weird, a whole new prespective of Holmes mjust slammed right into my face
@allyndeimos YOU admired him for that? Millions of people all over the world admired Holmes for that. I strongly suspect they are equally disappointed at stressing Holmes fighting skills and bad habits and not his brains or good qualities (Holmes has a reputation for caring about women and poor people )
@000266617 ah. pardon me, it's just that until now i've only heard ppl say that they liked RDJ's sherlock holmes. i even have a close friend that says she hates the conan doyle holmes. i had begun to think to think i was the only sane person here :)
@000266617 well, she said she thought he was too cocky, too arrogant, and that she was sick of reading watson saying that holmes was amazing and that holmes was the best, and on and on and on. i guess his comments about women could also be part of her dislike for him. maybe i should ask her next time i see her :D
@allyndeimos after reading the stories and watching the new movie recently, i agree. actually i think the new film holmes is more like gregory house minus the limp and the whole doctor thing lol
@allyndeimos I think you forget that in the begining he did solve a bunch of the letters that were sent to him in mere seconds. And Holmes isn't /only/ a brain in a chair, he does a lot of footwork throughtout the series too. I think that a lot of fans would agree with you, hell I do to a bit, but they were just trying to get at Sherlock Holmes from a new angle, with a breath of fresh air thrown in, and some humor too xP I agree that the movie was different, but isn't that the point of a remake?
@demicassy Certainly but Downey's Sherlock Holmes in quite a few respects was no closer to Basil Rathbone as far as being faithful to the Canon goes, although that's really nothing new, for instance the earliest adaptation of Holmes on stage by William Gillette back in 1899 had Holmes getting married (with Arthur Conan Doyle's blessing! remember he had killed him off in TFP)
"May I marry Holmes?"
"You may marry him, murder him, do whatever you like with him"
@fauxsham my favorite holmes up to now is jeremy brett, tho he wasnt in a holmes movie but a TV series :D i have yet to see basil act, but i've heard he is an accurate holmes as well....
@allyndeimos I feel like the explored who Holmes really would have been with all his imbalances in reality. His over-stimulation, his clinging sensuality...You could argue that the movie captured the less graceful portion of his character, bc who else could nail that elegance like Brett. ( the movie's interpretation of Watson was perfect tho)
@tiemedown I feel like this "attempt to explore who Holmes really would have been with all his imbalances in reality" was silly, halfassed, an insult to the canon, and right up there with some of the more revisionist Holmes pastiches created that imagine they're doing something clever by coming up with scenarios like Holmes being Jack The Ripper because of his misogyny.
@cha5 Holmes often spoke in canon of what an asset he would make to the criminal elite. His overly powerful sensory perception and childlike passive aggression with watson is what I was referencing in the new film. These two traits are deeply ingrained in his character and bringing them to the forefront does not degrade him as a great mind. What isnt canon is inferring that Holmes has misogyny, for while he distrusts women he never references an overwhelming distaste.
@tiemedown As for what isn't canon, let's see stealing Watson's clothes, never bathing or shaving, a cliched villain like lord what's his name, hinting that Irene Adler was working for Professor Moriarty. Not that I'm 100% opposed to anything deviating from the accepted canon, for instance I've been enjoying the new BBC series Sherlock which I'll take over the Downey film anytime.
@cha5 No portrayal of Holmes will be more dear to me than Brett but I enjoyed that where other mainstream portrayals discredit watson and underplay Holmes' nuerosis, this movie took pages from the book and didnt overwhelm with hollywood. If you dont like it that is your opinion as a fan, but I enjoyed seeing a film where Holmes and Watson were on equal footing ( mainly bc I adore Watson and think he has been neglected in media...minus the series pictures above of course)
@tiemedown Plus I always find it funny the idea that a man like Holmes who would try to avoid drawing attention to himself would go around London's West End in a getup that would stick out like a sore thumb almost as much as wearing an Inverness and a Deerstalker would.
That was a "realistic" scenario in which because of Holme's dislike of women, his constant use of cocaine, his habit of beating on dead bodies with a stick, his contempt for Scotland Yard, and Watson marrying Mary Morstan and leaving him that Sherlock Holmes decided to become the worlds most infamous serial killer in history, and it still strikes me as only slightly more imaginative than turning him into a lowlife Indiana Jones
@cha5 The new film catalouged a man driven partly mad by a combination of his own hubris and genius. I dont think this dishonors the books as there are often times in which the original Holmes bends pokers, employs japanese fighting styles and has emotional outbursts: all very 'indiana jones' behavior. Not all caricatures of Holmes must be as catlike as Jeremy Brett, and I personally think that any deficits in Holmes' character were made up by the portrayal of watson, finally an honest depiction
@tiemedown The film portrayed a man who is a slob for the sake of being a slob as opposed to Conan Doyle's "art for arts sake" bohemian and plays fast and loose with the canon, for instance the bullpup bit with Holmes experimenting on Watson's dog, his relationship with Irene Adler along with her handcuffing him naked to a bed, I've read quite a few Holmes pastiches in my lifetime and this film was right up there with the worst of them.
@cha5 Well I disagree. I saw someone who was so internalized that he lived dangerously in all manner of existance. His hyper-sensitivity was given great dissection as was his 'black moods'. Giving Watson's a bull pup a role is playing off of canon, which is itself often lacking in continuity (some issues printing John's first name as James). In canon Holmes was possessive of Watson, meticulous in dress but not that state of his rooms, all of these elements were ignored by ex. rathbone
@tiemedown I saw someone who was a caricature, who was no closer to Doyle's creation than Basil Rathbone was, as for the 'bull pup' the general consensus among Sherlockians is that this refers to an Ebley pistol called a 'bull dog' or pup not a dog, give me one reference to Watson keeping a dog in 221b that Holmes experimented on. Even the Jeremy Brett series touched on the fact that Holmes wasn't the tidest of housekeepers, the Downey film gave us a man wallowing in filth with pride.
@cha5 I have heard the theory that the bull pup was a weapon as well however since Doyle never put an end to the debate I wasnt bothered by seeing the two co-owning a pet. I mean lets be honest, every interpretation ( minus this one) is going to fall short in the eyes of an absolute purist. But I adored Law's interpretation of Watson, he was handsome, intelligent and human enough to have stopped gawking at Holmes' methods long ago. I like that he finally gets some attitude.
@tiemedown Martin Freeman is my choice for the most enjoyable take on Watson I've seen since the glory days of the Granada series, he and Benedict Cumberbatch have a different chemistry than Hardwicke and Brett did, but I really loved the recreation of their first meeting together at St Bart's from A Study In Scarlet even if they changed the name to 'A Study In Pink' and time transplanted it to the twenty first century. (It's high time someone tried to bring ASIS to the screen finally.)
@cha5 Freeman was excellent but I was still so heartbroken over Brett that I didnt give the work its due notice. I think I enjoyed the film so much for its reawakening of that old holmes/watson devotion that too often gets lost in translation. I completely respect your position however and I agree that the Granada version, for the short time it existed, was the most perfect representation. It's great to debate another fan, sometimes I forget theres still a strong following out there!
@tiemedown Anytime, I'm not knocking Brett in anyway but one thing I always get a kick out of is that Cumberbatch and Freeman are closer to the accepted canon age of Holmes and Watson at the time of ASIS than just about any other portrayal of the classic duo, I mean how many times have you ever seen an actor portraying Holmes who is in his 20s or 30s? his accepted age after all is that he was 26 at the time of ASIS and 48 when he retired in 1903. Yet most screen SH are way older, Brett included.
@cha5 Brett is strange in that he seems utterly ageless especially at the beginning of the series. He's got this crazy smooth skin that confuses everyone. And I havent seen the Cumberbatch version is it good? The youngest version I have seen is that movie with Richard Roxborough...not the best interpretation. And I agree, I miss Brett.
It is my pleasure. You are most welcome.

Nothing beats the book(s) and original stories, but Jeremy Brett is about as close as you can get on screen. I didn't mind Downey's portrayal, but his Holmes seemed a little too youthful and juvenile for me. But perhaps that is exactly what Guy Ritchie wanted to show - I believe Ritchie's exact words were to show a young Sherlock in his "learning curve" phase. Can't wait for the sequel - I hear Daniel Day Lewis (or Brad Pitt) is playing Prof Moriarty, with Stephen Fry playing Mycroft (perfect).

I'm so glad I have the ability to love every adaptation of Sherlock Holmes I see. It seems very frustrating to be constantly playing "My Holmes is better than your Holmes."
Every new adaptation brings something different to appreciate. Love it all in different ways ♥

@xSlashtastic I fully agree :) Same here! Each adaptation has it's own charm and interesting parts, and 'changes' from the books are what makes each adaptation individually interesting.

Oh dear god, I love this comment so much! Cause I also hate this constant fight about "the best" vs "the worst". I´m totally in love with Jeremy Brett but this dosn´t mean that I can´t love any other Holmes.

@xSlashtastic I know what you mean, but you have to admit that Jeremy Brett was pretty damn special in this role. For me, this TV version surpassed most if not all of the big screen Holmes productions, and I'm no fan of TV as a rule. I could watch Brett for hours and never grow tired of his expression, his total engagement with and astounding evocation of Conan Doyle's wonderful character.

@Tadddius That movie did alright at the box office, but it just wasn't something I was partial to, trying to turn Holmes into a Victorian Indiana Jones.

@Tadddius My all time favorite Holmes actors would be
1.Jeremy Brett

4. Livanov 5. Basil Rathbone (not really any closer to Doyle's character than Downey was, but there was always something iconic about Rathbone as Holmes, especially in the first two Sherlock Holmes films) 6. Rupert Everett (someone who is actually close to Holmes's age as described in the Canon in his thirties :O and is memorable)
7. Michael Caine (silly but fun)

@samster978 you lack experience with the books i take it. although the movie was good and displayed many of holmes' qualities it was very different to the books, mainly because it was made for a modern audience. this series was made for those who wanted to see the books as close as possible on screen with the original style preserved

@dwax8: What I like about the new movie is that it goes more into depth about Holmes' relationship with Watson, and the fight/explosion/getting high scenes. It wasn't exactly like Holmes of the books, but it definitely showed some important things that were from the books and very much missed in the Jeremy Brett and Basil Rathbone films.
TheBex1910 1 year ago
@TheBex1910 The new film used story elements from stories that either occurred directly or indirectly. Example, Holmes shot VRs in the wall of his room in the story 'His Last Bow' like in the movie
His fighting skills were documented in the 'Final Problem' as well as 'The Sign of the Four' (where he is heralded as a skilled amateur boxer by another boxer) and his condescending arrogance yet caring attitude towards Watson, in pretty much every story. The new movie is surprisingly well done.

I liked how they showed Holmes's drug addiction right from the start -- no hiding it. They were perfectly honest about it. That would probably be a risky move even then. And I always loved that line: "I am lost without my Boswell." The way Jeremy portrays it you can tell he truly means it.

But Irene is like "Hell no!". She thinks for herself, and does whatever she damn well pleases. Go Irene!

BlueStrikeP 2 years ago 3
thats the problem with the new twist tho: its not holmes, not the original book one at least. the 'smart bad boy' is more of a wise but immature, needy guy. in my opinion, they just made a script, gave the characters the name of watson and holmes, gave each a cane, and rolled the cameras. bc of the twist they didnt capture the very essence of holmes: a quiet, detached, educated brain solving most cases smoking a pipe on a chair. i had always admired him for that, and it was missing.
allyndeimos 2 years ago 21
i always saw holmes as a bit of a very witty dick though, he most certainly isn't a goody goody boy, he hangs out with the city's rif raf in opium dens, is supposed to be a hell of a boxer in the ring (which back then meant underground fighting) and was trying to get high when he got bored...
BlueStrikeP 2 years ago 36
he's got more of a goody good boy than a smart bad boy in him. he hangs out in opium dens only when necessary (like when looking for some woman's husband, tho i dont doubt he enjoyed the atmosphere) and he was a boxer BEFORE he became a detective, even tho he still uses those skills when he's up against some rough guys (as i see it, he sort of abandoned the boxer days). and yeah, he tried getting high on coke when bored. i recognize that bad boy in him, but it was too much in RDJ; it didnt work.

@BlueStrikeP: Yes, but apart from that he had very good manners, had no interest in sexual affairs and although he sometimes tended to be a bit arrogant, he was so not in a way typical 'manly' men are.

@allyndeimos I think you forget that in the begining he did solve a bunch of the letters that were sent to him in mere seconds.

I think that a lot of fans would agree with you, hell I do to a bit, but they were just trying to get at Sherlock Holmes from a new angle, with a breath of fresh air thrown in, and some humor too xP I agree that the movie was different, but isn't that the point of a remake?
demicassy 1 year ago
@demicassy Certainly but Downey's Sherlock Holmes in quite a few respects was no closer to Basil Rathbone as far as being faithful to the Canon goes, although that's really nothing new, for instance the earliest adaptation of Holmes on stage by William Gillette back in 1899 had Holmes getting married (with Arthur Conan Doyle's blessing! remember he had killed him off in TFP)
"May I marry Holmes?"
"You may marry him, murder him, do whatever you like with him"
Thankfully it didn't stick.

@allyndeimos I feel like the explored who Holmes really would have been with all his imbalances in reality.

( the movie's interpretation of Watson was perfect tho)
tiemedown 1 year ago
@tiemedown I feel like this "attempt to explore who Holmes really would have been with all his imbalances in reality" was silly, halfassed, an insult to the canon, and right up there with some of the more revisionist Holmes pastiches created that imagine they're doing something clever by coming up with scenarios like Holmes being Jack The Ripper because of his misogyny.
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 Holmes often spoke in canon of what an asset he would make to the criminal elite. His overly powerful sensory perception and childlike passive aggression with watson is what I was referencing in the new film. These two traits are deeply ingrained in his character and bringing them to the forefront does not degrade him as a great mind. What isnt canon is inferring that Holmes has misogyny, for while he distrusts women he never references an overwhelming distaste.
tiemedown 1 year ago
@tiemedown As for what isn't canon, let's see stealing Watson's clothes, never bathing or shaving, a cliched villain like lord what's his name, hinting that Irene Adler was working for Professor Moriarty. Not that I'm 100% opposed to anything deviating from the accepted canon, for instance I've been enjoying the new BBC series Sherlock which I'll take over the Downey film anytime.
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 No portrayal of Holmes will be more dear to me than Brett but I enjoyed that where other mainstream portrayals discredit watson and underplay Holmes' nuerosis, this movie took pages from the book and didnt overwhelm with hollywood. If you dont like it that is your opinion as a fan, but I enjoyed seeing a film where Holmes and Watson were on equal footing ( mainly bc I adore Watson and think he has been neglected in media...minus the series pictures above of course)

That was a "realistic" scenario in which because of Holme's dislike of women, his constant use of cocaine, his habit of beating on dead bodies with a stick, his contempt for Scotland Yard, and Watson marrying Mary Morstan and leaving him that Sherlock Holmes decided to become the worlds most infamous serial killer in history, and it still strikes me as only slightly more imaginative than turning him into a lowlife Indiana Jones
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 The new film catalouged a man driven partly mad by a combination of his own hubris and genius. I dont think this dishonors the books as there are often times in which the original Holmes bends pokers, employs japanese fighting styles and has emotional outbursts: all very 'indiana jones' behavior. Not all caricatures of Holmes must be as catlike as Jeremy Brett, and I personally think that any deficits in Holmes' character were made up by the portrayal of watson, finally an honest depiction
tiemedown 1 year ago
@tiemedown The film portrayed a man who is a slob for the sake of being a slob as opposed to Conan Doyle's "art for arts sake" bohemian and plays fast and loose with the canon, for instance the bullpup bit with Holmes experimenting on Watson's dog, his relationship with Irene Adler along with her handcuffing him naked to a bed, I've read quite a few Holmes pastiches in my lifetime and this film was right up there with the worst of them.
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 Well I disagree. I saw someone who was so internalized that he lived dangerously in all manner of existance. His hyper-sensitivity was given great dissection as was his 'black moods'. Giving Watson's a bull pup a role is playing off of canon, which is itself often lacking in continuity (some issues printing John's first name as James). In canon Holmes was possessive of Watson, meticulous in dress but not that state of his rooms, all of these elements were ignored by ex. rathbone
tiemedown 1 year ago
@tiemedown I saw someone who was a caricature, who was no closer to Doyle's creation than Basil Rathbone was, as for the 'bull pup' the general consensus among Sherlockians is that this refers to an Ebley pistol called a 'bull dog' or pup not a dog, give me one reference to Watson keeping a dog in 221b that Holmes experimented on. Even the Jeremy Brett series touched on the fact that Holmes wasn't the tidest of housekeepers, the Downey film gave us a man wallowing in filth with pride.
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 I have heard the theory that the bull pup was a weapon as well however since Doyle never put an end to the debate I wasnt bothered by seeing the two co-owning a pet. I mean lets be honest, every interpretation ( minus this one) is going to fall short in the eyes of an absolute purist. But I adored Law's interpretation of Watson, he was handsome, intelligent and human enough to have stopped gawking at Holmes' methods long ago. I like that he finally gets some attitude.

@tiemedown Martin Freeman is my choice for the most enjoyable take on Watson I've seen since the glory days of the Granada series, he and Benedict Cumberbatch have a different chemistry than Hardwicke and Brett did, but I really loved the recreation of their first meeting together at St Bart's from A Study In Scarlet even if they changed the name to 'A Study In Pink' and time transplanted it to the twenty first century. (It's high time someone tried to bring ASIS to the screen finally.)
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 Freeman was excellent but I was still so heartbroken over Brett that I didnt give the work its due notice. I think I enjoyed the film so much for its reawakening of that old holmes/watson devotion that too often gets lost in translation. I completely respect your position however and I agree that the Granada version, for the short time it existed, was the most perfect representation. It's great to debate another fan, sometimes I forget theres still a strong following out there!
tiemedown 1 year ago
@tiemedown Anytime, I'm not knocking Brett in anyway but one thing I always get a kick out of is that Cumberbatch and Freeman are closer to the accepted canon age of Holmes and Watson at the time of ASIS than just about any other portrayal of the classic duo, I mean how many times have you ever seen an actor portraying Holmes who is in his 20s or 30s? his accepted age after all is that he was 26 at the time of ASIS and 48 when he retired in 1903. Yet most screen SH are way older, Brett included.
cha5 1 year ago
@cha5 Brett is strange in that he seems utterly ageless especially at the beginning of the series. He's got this crazy smooth skin that confuses everyone. And I havent seen the Cumberbatch version is it good? The youngest version I have seen is that movie with Richard Roxborough...not the best interpretation. And I agree, I miss Brett.
