Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes (2009)
(My Favorite movie)

I’ve seen many movies but my favorite is Sherlock Holmes. Originally Sherlock Holmes is a series of books written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes is the main character in the book. He’s very famous for his intelligence, his observation skills and his forensic skills which made him the best detective of all time. In the movie the character of Sherlock Holmes is played by Robert Downey Junior which did a pretty good job in my opinion. The movie was made and directed by Guy Ritchie in the year 2009.

The story begins with a murder attempt of Dr. Blackwood the villain in the movie. He tries to kill a young woman with dark magic but Sherlock Holmes and his loyal friend Dr. John Watson crossed his plans. Watson is played by Jude Law which showed an amazing performance as well and Blackwood by Mark Strong. All of this is happening in 1891 in London. The movie showed the genius mind of Sherlock Holmes very well. I loved the scenes where Sherlock imagined in his head what the next step is going to be. For example when he disabled a man guarding the mysterious ritual Dr. Blackwood was doing in the beginning but I want to tell you as less as possible because I enjoyed the movie very much and can only suggest to see it with your own eyes.

Oh yes in the movie is a character that is behind the scenes all the time that is Professor Moriarty. It’s not for sure but I think and hope they are going to make Sherlock Holmes 2 and the story will base on the fight of two genius master minds Sherlock Holmes vs. Professor Moriarty.

    Sherlock Jr. (Buster Keaton, the U.S, 1924) depicts a cinema projectionist and janitor who’s studying and dreaming about becoming a detective like Sherlock Holmes. The main character, Sherlock Jr. falls in love with a beautiful girl but another man shows up as his competition while he’s trying to win the girl’s heart. His rival intrudes on one of Sherlock Jr.’s dates with the girl and makes the girl’s father think that Sherlock stole a watch. Feeling tired and depressed at work, Sherlock falls asleep during showing of Hearts and Pearls, and dreams of his girlfriend as the heroine, and his rival as the thief who steals the pearls. Sherlock himself becomes a detective to solve the case. Though short compared to modern feature films, this 44-minutes film utilizes a variety of filming techniques. For example, in one scene Buster uses continuity editing, a major technique Buster uses throughout his movie, to create position match, in which Sherlock walks directly into the big screen and becomes a part of that movie. Next a chain of scenes positions the actor in a series of unrelated scenarios yet which appears seamlessly connected.…

    Sherlock Holmes is a very strange man. He is a detective who can solve a mystery without even seeing what seems to be like too much evidence. His ethics are very interesting. He believes that murder cases turn out to have very complex ways of happening. He does not believe in the solar system, which the narrator thought was very weird. His decision to join the case to help was a just decision, because without him the case wouldn’t have been solved correctly. Holmes seems to always stick with his beliefs, not matter what the situation was, even after the case seemed like it was solved.…

    for the good of humanity or just the good of one's loved ones every hero has a cause. Sherlock Holmes seems like an obvious hero but he doesn't really care about saving or protecting people. It seems the only thing Sherlock cares about is working and solving the cases because it is fun for him to have a challenge. But Sherlock does seem to have an internal struggle whether to fight for good or to prove his intelligence according to the author of (sherlock character confessions by Raven Simmons). “Sherlock seems to be divided by the urge to defeat Moriarty because he is a criminal and it would simply be the right thing to do r to defeat Moriarty simply to win a challenge made against his intelligence; basically, as a battle of wits”. So it seems that there may be some kind of good conscience inside of this man. Even though he is a kind of strange man that keeps to himself he does try to help others though it may seem he has selfish reasons for helping. I believe that he is a true hero when you hear someone talk about the great Sherlock Holmes you think of a mysterious british man with quick wits that fights crime for good. He is an iconic hero in british literature that everyone…

    “I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing… I was born with the Evil One standing as my sponsor beside the bed where I was ushered into the world, and he has been with me since.” Those are the words in the 1896 confession of Herman Webster Mudgett better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes. H. H. Holmes was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. In Chicago at the time of the 1893 World’s Fair, Holmes opened a hotel which he designed and built for himself specifically with murder in mind. This was the location of many of his tortuous murders, which could range to over 200 people (movie).…

    Sherlock Holmes is a name with an enigmatic connotation. It means magnifying glasses and a British accent to most people. However, to me, it means noticing the obvious. It means finding deep, lasting friendship, alongside solutions to seemingly impossible mysteries. Sherlock Holmes is a mystery in and of himself, and that’s what makes him alive. The same goes for me, for you, and for the rest of the universe. Holmes taught me that our mysteries are solvable, no matter how complex, and that was one of the most valuable lessons I’ve ever…

    Way back in 2010, a small TV show came onto the BBC, a show that brought the character of Sherlock Holmes back onto the small screen once again. My favourite TV character resides in this show, however he didn’t appear until the finale of ‘Sherlock’ Series one. Although only appearing for ten minutes at the end of the final episode of Series One, the character of Jim Moriarty fascinated me quite and automatically became my favourite TV character. In Series Two of ‘Sherlock’, the character of Moriarty took more of a main role position. He was already established as the villain and he had made a powerful first impression in his first episode but now he has become central to what ‘Sherlock’ has become as a TV show and all the better for it. Moriarty has a brilliant mindset which is fantastic to watch, he knows what he is doing and why he is doing the things he does, everything is for a purpose. Even if the audience is not in on the loop, his intentions are ultimately revealed at the end and even then you don’t know if his game is finally over.…
