Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly one of those literary characters have jumped from the literature and have a life of its own. It matters little whether or not someone has read any of the books of Arthur Conan Doyle (or know that exists) probably has heard Holmes himself, or more than that, have an idea of \u200b\u200bhow it should be: tall, thin, together his pipe, and, of course, solving all kinds of mysteries. The figure of Holmes has inspired hundreds of characters and adaptations such as the hit television series Doctor House in this doctor shares many of the features of our English researcher, starting with the most obvious and necessary, your powers of deduction that allows you to clarify the most difficult cases.
If I make this introduction is to try to explain to watch anything that includes Holmes implies, beforehand, like it or not, a number of preconceived ideas.
is why I think there are different types of viewers who go to see the latest Guy Ritchie movie and depends on the look with which they feel they may or may not enjoy this movie. He who knows little or nothing of the researcher, who has heard mention (but not much) and actually going to see it because they hear well, because the deal promises or know of other films because I think director will not be disappointed. Ritchie's film is a well made action movie where the heroes still running adventures, there will be explosions, chases, mysteries accompanied by an agile and modern narrative. Ritchie know get the juice to the fact that Holmes is a great fighter (as outlined in the novels) and show this facet of his personality at various times.
On the other side is that, without being fanatic, has a more sophisticated idea of \u200b\u200bthe character (not her true) and it runs the risk of being disappointed (as I read in several reviews) by the fact that the film favors action over character development and insists on showing the negative aspects of its protagonists. "It could have been a movie about anyone, why use a Holmes?" Criticism.
My case is unique, I have not read Conan Doyle's novels but I have not escaped the myth and I've seen several adaptations, but whom I know well is the father of the detective, the first detective occdidente literary tradition: Auguste Dupin created by Edgar Allan Poe's incredible that three stories were enough to open the detective genre.
Dupin is the perfect analyst, like Holmes, they do not escape them details and that is certainly the most attractive of these men who understand the world through the intellect that makes them, of course, be beings who have difficulty relating to others and live lives of "normal." Dupin is, that is why this Holmes eccentric, lonely, cynical as I dropped it and it seems completely believable (as Dr. House). They seduce men with their intelligence but are a disaster in the everyday (as the same Poe) and therefore need these companions unconditional, as the narrator of the Dupin stories, which always accompanies it, or the loyal Watson, Obviously something must have to want to be beside such complex beings, they admire deeply.
I think Ritchie film recovers the dark tone that is so evident in the creation of Poe and Conan Doyle shares would think (we can not forget that Holmes used cocaine in the books, likes to play violin at times not very appropriate and spend long periods alone). Perhaps this explains why the one chosen to star as Holmes was Robet Downey Jr and not an actor long and phlegmatic, who better than Downey Jr., who both have had the theme, to play someone with dark areas, with services that can not stop? Jude Law, meanwhile, plays a Watson stylish without losing the unconditional set limits for Holmes know, laugh at the situation and is also struggling with his weaknesses, as is his habit in gambling.
Could it be any action movie? Maybe. I take the pipe to pass and return to the Holmes detective shirtless, beaten, bruised, a little dirty research, not for money, not by a desire for justice but for the immense pleasure that involves deciphering puzzles. I like to think that some of Dupin is there in the heavy curtains drawn in the air that delirious Downey played Holmes and Watson fearful of losing. The door remained open for more movies, no doubt, and I can not help thinking that Holmes will become a new kind of superhero dark Batman, of those who work in the dark with no recognition and no desire to appear.
So it is not a work of art, or an action movie, its function, I think is opening the world of detective and prepare new releases, we hope that we refine details and nonstop entertainment.
