In the final analysis, in a movie about Sherlock Holmes, the element of reasoning is an important part after all.

Even though Charlotte added many blockbuster commercial elements such as big scenes and action special effects in "Sherlock Holmes", the reasoning is still unobtainable.

However, in the end, it is to enhance the difficulty of reasoning the plot and make the audience feel that the reasoning is "really powerful";

Or to enhance the intelligibility of the plot of reasoning, so that as many viewers as possible can follow the plot of the film - this is where the director needs to make a choice.

From a commercial point of view, but also to make the film more widely available, Charlotte chose to make the audience understand.

- Only in this way will "Sherlock Holmes" not be high and low.

- and only in this way can the film fulfill the series of roles that Charlotte expects it to accomplish.

However, Charlotte did not completely give up the difficulty or depth of reasoning about the plot because of this-

On the one hand, he introduced some occult elements, so that the audience who have become accustomed to science in modern society and are superstitious in science unconsciously feel "amazing".

On the other hand, he put a lot of effort into the presentation and interpretation of the reasoning process.

To put it simply, it is to use as novel a technique as possible to complete the deduction and interpretation in the shortest possible time, and at the same time, it also needs to leave the audience as deep an impression as possible.

Fortunately, Charlotte is a time-traveler from later generations, and there are plenty of film and television techniques to refer to.

This time, he used a lens method from "Sherlock" -

Memory Palace!

This special memory method of virtualizing one's own memory into a palace has a very long history of origin and is a practical and feasible special memory method.

However, it is not easy to master this method of memorization.

In a way, it takes talent.

However, according to Conan Doyle's original book, Holmes should have mastered this method -

Because, when he talked to Dr. Watson about his knowledge structure, he once compared it to a room, in which he would only keep the knowledge he needed.

——This statement is a kind of way of palaceizing the memory of the knowledge system.

And this time, Charlotte directly showed this kind of memory palace in the movie.

- And that's thanks to the plot of Sherlock Holmes.

His friend Watson was wounded, he was wanted by Scotland Yard, and Holmes, under the Earl of Blackwood, suffered one of the best setbacks in his detective career.

This also aroused Mr. Detective's competitive spirit.

He tried to think from the perspective of Earl Blake Wood, and considered some occult reasons.

– even if he doesn't believe it.

In this case, while ostensibly experimenting with the so-called magic of Earl Blake Wood, he entered the palace of memory while thinking.

In it, he combs through his memories, and the scene changes in real time according to his thoughts.

It looks a bit fantastical, like a dream, but it clearly allows the audience in front of the big screen to grasp the vein of Sherlock Holmes's thinking.

Like Billy Huntington, that's the case.

He found the deduction in the movie very interesting, and he couldn't help but go deep into it.

Gradually, he felt that he understood the purpose of Earl Blake Wood.

At the same time, he also found that he had unconsciously turned his thinking to Sherlock Holmes's position.

"What the hell is this......

There seemed to be a voice in his head, alerting Billy that something was wrong.

- This sound had been made several times before, preventing him from being grabbed by the tail by the police.

But this time, before Billy could react to what was going on, he saw that Holmes's deduction in the "Memory Palace" on the big screen had come to an end.

At this point, Mr. Detective glanced in the direction outside the big screen.

"Boom!"

Billy, who looked directly at this deep look, only felt that this brief look was very long.

For a moment, he seemed to see a man writing his name in a black notebook—

"Billy Huntington!"

He read it out unconsciously.

The next moment, he didn't know anything......

"Found it!!"

Behind the big screen, in the hidden storage room, Sherlock Holmes, who embodied reality, wanted Charlotte to report his results,

"I really didn't expect you to set up a "memory palace" in the movie and a lens to stare at the audience-"

"The former can guide all those who watch this movie to further project their consciousness into the movie for me to see;"

And the latter gave me a chance to directly scan all the audience. ”

Speaking of which, Holmes glanced at Charlotte,

"You are very well prepared indeed. ”

"That's nature. If you are looking for someone to help, you must naturally provide the most suitable environment for people to help!"

Charlotte asked with a smile,

"So, what about the specific goals?"

"I'll pass it on to you through my consciousness!"

As he spoke, Holmes and Charlotte looked at each other.

Suddenly, Charlotte saw her goal.

Later, with the help of the Death Note in her hand, Charlotte not only succeeded in forcibly descending on her, but also learned the other party's name by the way-

Billy Huntington!

A serial killer who is very well disguised on the surface!!

Ogre !!

Charlotte took control of the other party's body and consciousness in an instant, and retrieved the other party's superficial memories by the way.

"This guy is going to come to see Sherlock Holmes, and there's a clear influence on Jack the Ripper, the god of serial killers. 」

Charlotte was sure she had found the right target. However, as in the previous encounters, Jack the Ripper immediately broke away from Billy Huntington's consciousness and disconnected completely.

This left Charlotte's attempt to catch Jack the Ripper frustrated.

"What a cunning creature than a fox!"

Charlotte sighed to herself, but she wasn't disappointed.

- After fighting Jack the Ripper so many times, he has long since given up the idea of finishing his work in one battle, and has made a long-term plan,

"Jack, if you're still not willing to come out, then let's play slowly!"

With this in mind, Charlotte then began to think about what to do with the spies, or cannon fodder, that was dropped by Jack the Ripper.

―Billy Huntington, the Ogre.

Because of the need to summon Sherlock Holmes, it was necessary to let him die.

- This is not a problem for Charlotte, who has the Death Note.

Charlotte considered how to make her crimes public before she died.

After all, an ordinary person dying of heart palsy and a murderer dying of heart palsy are completely different things.

Charlotte originally planned to control the other party and go to the police department in Los Angeles to turn herself in.

- As for the reason for turning himself in, just just talk nonsense, anyway, he will soon die of heart paralysis.

However, after seeing an acquaintance sitting not far from the screening room, Charlotte suddenly changed her mind......
