Chapter 584: Basic Deduction Method
After losing the threat of the "electric batons", the Russian man regained his power and nearly killed Holmes and Watson.
Fortunately, the arrival of the Scotland Yard police finally scared the other party away.
But before that, they completely destroyed the shipyard, and even let a steamer under construction directly leave the dock and sink into the Thames.
"It's a really exciting fight!"
Emily sighed.
As a girl who is very good at convincing people with "reason", she is very satisfied with this fight scene.
In particular, the last fragment of the Russian Han sabotaging the shipyard and causing the ship to fall into the Thames along the slide rail made Emily's adrenaline soar.
That's what it's like to be a spectator, though.
In the story, Holmes and Watson were scared half to death.
The two were even locked up by the police because of the destruction of the shipyard.
Fortunately, as famous people, the two were soon released again-
Watson was released on bail by his fiancée, Mary Mostan.
Holmes, on the other hand, is led by a group of people to meet a mysterious figure.
- Wearing a hood, though.
Of course, such a thing as blindfolding doesn't mean much to a great detective like Sherlock Holmes.
He easily determined the location of his meeting with the mysterious man based on various clues, and determined the identity of the other party.
- That's the biological father of Earl Blake Wood.
It turned out that Blake Wood's parents were a group of people who believed in the occult among the British aristocracy, and they were not husband and wife, but they conceived Blake Wood in a so-called "magic ceremony".
"What a magical ritual, it's a chaotic party under the banner of occultism!"
Like Sherlock Holmes in the movie, Gianna scoffs at the claim.
However, this is not because she is superstitious about science, but because she just attended a similar dark style party some time ago.
After all, when it comes to playing crazy and dying, if American college students think they are second, it will be difficult to elect the first place......
In contrast, Emily, who has seen more movies and knows more about the occult, directly thinks of the Black Mass, the famous black magic ritual.
However, Emily's heart is conflicted -
On the one hand, she feels that a movie about Sherlock Holmes is still appropriate based on logical reasoning.
On the other hand, I can't help but imagine how Holmes would react if he really encountered black magic that cannot be explained by science.
This left Emily in a bit of a dilemma.
In fact, not only Emily, but many audiences in the screening hall have a similar mentality-
While they instinctively wanted to watch Sherlock Holmes vs. the Dark Mage Blake Wood, they wondered if it would be a bad story to happen.
And behind this, what is hidden is that they have gradually penetrated into the plot of the movie, and they have begun to worry about what to do if Earl Blake Wood really has mana, just like the characters in the movie.
Only a handful of veteran film critics, such as Richard Manson, can realize that they are being subtly influenced by the film.
This surprised them with director Charlotte's powerful and delicate narrative ability.
Richard Manson even thinks deeper-
He felt that Blake Wood's plot was, to some extent, a reflection of the coexistence of scientific progress and mystical obscurantism in the 19th century......
This is just his personal opinion.
As for Kenneth Turan, another veteran film critic, he is not interested in thinking about this.
- As a detective fan, he has completely immersed himself in the world of cinema and has forgotten his own work as a film critic.
Especially when Holmes first met the father of Earl Blake Wood, the reasoning process expressed in a special lens made Kenneth feel that it was a stroke of genius.
- Here, when Charlotte was in post-editing, she used the same method as in "Sherlock".
He used the camera to focus on several clue positions on the body of Earl Blake Wood's father, and then used post-effects, coupled with rapidly emerging text and clue descriptions, to form a very interesting reasoning and deduction process.
Coupled with Robert Downey Jr.'s humorous and fast-talking voiceover, many viewers who like Sherlock Holmes suddenly feel that they seem to have seen the process of Sherlock Holmes's rapid reasoning in an instant.
"That's how Sherlock Holmes deduces!"
Kenneth Turan couldn't help but let out a sigh.
As the actor of Sherlock Holmes, Robert Downey Jr., who was also in the screening room, couldn't help frowning when he saw this very innovative editing shot.
- Donnie greatly admires Mr. Director's camera control ability and imagination.
He also admits that the interpretation of this reasoning shot can definitely be said to be innovative, so that all the audience who substitute the perspective of Sherlock Holmes get a refreshing feeling similar to Sherlock Holmes's possession.
But for Donnie, this scene can't help but remind him of the tragic experience during the later dubbing -
"You're not fast enough, hurry up!!"
"Speak quickly and make sure that you speak clearly, emotionally, and especially with a sense of humor!!"
——These two sentences can be said to be the two sentences of guidance that Donnie heard the most when he was doing the post-dubbing for "Sherlock Holmes".
Although he had heard Charlotte say during filming that he should speak quickly in the post-dubbing, he didn't expect it to be so fast.
- If nothing else, just because you speak too quickly, your tongue is knotted, or you simply bite your lip and tongue, no less than twenty times.
This is naturally very painful.
Downey has acted in a lot of movies so far, but he has never experienced such a difficult post-dubbing process.
And now that he heard his painstakingly completed quick reasoning dubbing in the cinema again, he naturally recalled the fear of being dominated by the knots of his tongue......
However, on the other hand, there was a rare sense of accomplishment in his heart at the same time as fear.
After all, seeing the fruits of your hard work, a sense of accomplishment is inevitable.
In particular, after Charlotte's unique editing and post-production, Downey felt that his fast speech did produce a sense of the great detective Sherlock Holmes's fast reasoning.
"That's the deduction method!"
Downey, who also read the original Sherlock Holmes books, also remembered the term.
At the same time, in the small storage room behind the screening room, Charlotte also felt something, and opened her eyes that had been closed for a long time-
"This is indeed the method of deduction! basic method of deduction!!"
As he spoke, he looked to his empty right,
"—right, Mr. Holmes?"
"Mr. Holmes!?"
Charlize, who was also in the storage room, was stunned.
She looked in the direction Charlotte was looking, only to see a man in a deer-hunting suit with a pipe in his mouth gradually emerge from the otherwise empty place.
The man's appearance is a little blurry, a bit like Robert Downey Jr., but not quite like -
"Sherlock Holmes !?"
