This one is my favourite. I have been reading the Sherlock Holmes since donkey number of years. Earlier in school when reading anything else than a text book from the then current academic year was banned, I used to sneak in a thin copy of individual Holmes adventures in between my fat course books to read when my mother's jemmying eyes were not on me. Those were generally borrowed from a library or from a friend. Within the lending period I would end up reading the book twice or thrice times, since I was so much in love with the character, the story and the overall journey of adventure by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Things changed when I grew up. During my first 6 months of my first job, I ended up buying the entire Sherlock Holmes series. I read each and every page of the book with all my senses, of course excluding the sense of taste, literally.
I also gifted the entire set to my husband's niece, she is also a big big Holmes fan.
But my tryst with Holmes got to a new terrain when I recently witnessed Mr. Holmes through Robert Downey Jr. That was my first encounter with Mr. Holmes in the form of someone else imagination, Guy Ritchie to be specific. Well he is the same guy who has been a husband to my another favourite Madonna for a long number of years. Well, an entertainer's husband is expected to come out with an entertainer.
Coming back to the movie, Oh boy, I was so thrilled. Each and every scene was spectacular, though the movie had its own imagiantiona nd story to it, but the style was more or less the Doyle's. So, overall I loved it. The leading good guys are ofcourse worth being loved, but I think I ended up more in love with the bad man's character, Professor Moriarty played beautifully by Jared Harris. Apart from being a wonderful actor, the man looks so sexy. OMG I am all crushed, I watched the movie twice just to see his expressions again during a particular scene. To be specific the scene when he is signing autographs for his fans and is also enquiring about his travel plans with one of his serviceman. His expressions in that particular scene took my breath away, and since then I am all crushed. I do have a crush on Mr. Downey, he played such a convincing English detective with his pipes tucked to the sides of his mouth, but still Professor Moriarty had more charm to him.
And now only I got to know that there was one more Sherlock Holmes before this one in the year 2009. I am sure those days I was so stuck with my job and corporate career, I would have barely noticed that one. This one also I saw after 2 months of its official release, what to do I live in tier-II city of my country. Movie reels take long to get transferred here.
And I feel ashamed in writing this, cause I worked for the company that was a pioneer in movie distribution, leading to same day, time release of a movie all over, thus facilitating the viewers from each geography to experience the best and equal movie experience as compared to the viewers from metro cities.
Guys we got a long way to catch up!!!
