FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!
look people, be it friends or lovers, we cannot the fact deny that Sherlock deeply cares for John and also John himself deeply cares for Sherlock. it's basically in the books and even in the movies or shows.
Guys he knows
That's a really cool caption -
Sherlock Holmes; The Man Who Never Lived And Who Will Never Die.
Love sherlock holmes and love sir ian mckellen, great combination!
sir Ian McKellen as sherlock holmes is a very good fit also i would have accepted sir Patrick Stewart but McKellen just as good is a good fit and seeing as Sir McKellen is getting older and sickly i would like more of him before he retires
Good grief. Spare us do.
1:29 LOVE
Finally somebody says that. I don't know if Sherlock was gay or whatever, but one thing is sure. Our beloved detective had one and just one friend in his entire life. Just one person, who shared his strange and dangerous world. For a lifetime. And I do think we can talk about love, in this case. Because maybe Sherlock Holmes has been a machine towards everyone, but he did care about John Watson, he was worried about him in a desperate, obstinate and miserable way. It's in the books, he was constantly concerned about him. CONSTANTLY

YESSS THIS ^^^^
Martin Marmaleade, perhaps you should read the book, and, in particular, 'The 'Gloria Scott.' Holmes had other friends, my friend. Perhaps this quote from "A Scandal in Bohemia" "All emotions, and that one particularly [love], were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind."
Does anyone knows the title of the background music? Thank you~!
Weer

2# xD i hate this type of coments
While it is true that Holmes and Watson were extremely dear and important to each other, they never crossed into the romantic. Conan Doyle made that VERY clear through Watson's own words that Holmes himself had no interest in romance or sexual desires. Also, McKellen is absolutely ignorant of the novels when insisting Holmes never called the Doctor by Watson. He ONLY called him Watson in the novels. Yes, there was pure love and endearment in when he said my dear Watson, but still, he always called him Watson, never by John.
I respect Ian Mckellen a great deal but the stories themselves never mention Holmes and Watson sharing a room. One story that comes to my mind right away that proves this is The Dying Detective and I believe its mentioned in the first story A Study in Scarlet as well. Plus Watson was married during the stories at least two different times to women. One of them he meets during a case he and Holmes solved together called the Sign of Four. Even the great Stephen Fry, who's been a member of the Sherlock Holmes Society and is gay, says that even though he would have liked Holmes to have been gay he was not.
"But no doubt, there will be a film about Sherlock's private sexual life where one day it will all be revealed or imagined" well said let's them come out of the closet for god's sake
Except Doyle outright said that Holmes is as likely to fall in love as a machine would. Surprised the Asexual community of the LGBT group haven't claimed Holmes as one of their own. Just because two men are best friends and share a flat doesn't make them gay. Kinda tired of people taking characters that aren't theirs to start with and then branding them a certain way that goes against what the original author intended and act like "the clues were always there". You all do realize you can just make a gay detective yes? Instead of turning an asexual individual, who is more of a minority than a gay man, gay.
Holmes was not gay. The author did not talked about it because of the moral values of that time. It was not relevant for the story.
You Shall Not Sherlock.
I wish Sir Ian McKellen had not resorted to lies. There is absolutely no mention in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Sherlock Holmes stories that Holmes and Watson shared a bedroom, and Sherlock Holmes NEVER used Watson's first name.
liberty research These are his personal thoughts on and interpretations of the characters. He doesn’t lie about anything.
Well, he would be extremely incorrect then!
liberty research Personal interpretations are personal. You don’t have to like them and are welcome to have your own interpretations.
Not if you want to get a character correct or even close to correct.
liberty research Sir Ian is FAR from the first person to have a queer reading/interpretation of Sherlock Holmes. There are dozens of scholarly articles and books written about queer Sherlock Holmes.
Excellent video; however, there is more than AMPLE evidence throughout the Holmesian novels that evidence that he was definitely heterosexual. Nice try, Sir Ian; however, your gay bias stretch is showing! Check that shit at the door, please. I have no issue with gays; however, it is things like this- the flaunting of their sexuality- which I think does great damage to their movement.
Your homophobia is showing. There is not one bit of evidence that Sherlock Holmes was heterosexual. Read up on LGBT history why don't you.
everyone can speculate what Holme's gender can be. you chose to speculate he's hetero (even though Sherlock already said that women are not his area), others choose to speculate he is an asexual and us choose to speculate he is gay and in love with John Watson.
For some odd reason, your so bothered by the accusation of Sherlock being gay tells me that your not accepting gay people, your just tolerating them.
