What is your favorite version of Sherlock Holmes??
When I was growing up, it was easy: Basil Rathbone was Sherlock Holmes. Since then, I've enjoyed a lot of different interpretations, including the wonderful Nicholas Briggs in the Big Finish audio adventures, but Jeremy Brett is still definitive to me, since he's the closest to Holmes as he appeared in the canon.
Growing up it was Basil Rathbone. The best in my opinion even if he didn't portray the more eccentric side of the character. More recently, the BBC show Sherlock is one of the most accurate to the original books even though it's set in Modern day.
Jeremy Brett.
@Anthony Lee Collins Jeremy Brett all day. Just happened upon that version on daytime TV when I was off sick from work one day. Gobsmacked. Not only the best Sherlock for me (although BC comes a very close second), but just outright one of the best performances I've seen in anything, by anyone. Amazing.
This one, closely followed by BBC's version.
What I like about the waterfall scene is that during the mental battle between Holmes and Moriarty, Moriarty seems to have the upper hand in the fight but what he doesn’t take into account is Holmes willing to sacrifice his own life to take him down and to protect his friend, showing how Moriarty is so selfish and narcissistic that he doesn’t take into account that Sherlock would be capable of such a selfless act which ends up being what defeats him.
Now this ☝is what I call a brilliant character analysis.
I think another great point is that neither of them consider outside sources such as Watson. It was a weakness already shown by Sherlock when he was saving Simza, and that is something that I find fascinating.
I think Holmes won the chess match with a queen sacrifice as well.
In Moriarty's defense, Holmes was never noted for his altruism before.
Actually I think so too: I always wondered if killing Adler was supposed to provoke Holmes, but it may have been a warning, one that would have worked if Sherlock was a egomaniac like Moriarty. Moriarty also was content with leaving Holmes alive after the chess game, until he realized Sherlock destroyed his plans.
Holmes closed his eyes before falling, because if he didn't survive, he wanted Watson to be the last person he saw.
Oh that’s so cool!!!
That's cute, but I also think he was relaxing his body/meditating so he'd be limp when he hit the water; better chance of survival. Similar to how drunk drivers avoid injury b/c they are loose and don't tense up.
Saw the same thing with a skier who got knocked out in speed competition and did numerous bone breaking flips but since he was knocked out his body went limp and he had no broken bones. Think it’s called rag-doll
m.ua-cam.com/video/SEGIyL_WoBk/v-deo.html
He's not petty enough to think like that lol
“Come now. You really think you’re the only one who can play this game?” - That line still gives me chills.
Moriarty is the perfect villain. His calm demeanor just sends chills down your spine. And yet, when he starts tapping his pen, you can tell he's furious.
Moriarty's level of intelligence rivals Holmes and he is incredibly unpredictable. He predicts and knows what move and plan you are going to make before you do and he can outsmart you by manipulating and playing with your mind and intelligence.
The scene in his office where Holmes confronts him is perfect!
You couldn't have asked for a better actor to play Moriarty, either
@@rainbowpegacornstudios All the cast is perfect in these movies.
There's a quote that say
*In a war, Informations are more important than weapons.
And here is Moriarty have both of them, literally dangerous type of villain
In a sernse, Doyle when he wrote the origonals invented the trope of "If you don't see a body, they aint dead."
I haven't confirmed it for myself, but I've heard it said that Doyle truly did kill Sherlock, but there was such an outcry that he had to find a way to bring him back.
@@Crunchles Yeah, essentially. "Outcry" in this case meaning "several years of hate mail and random people on the street calling him a murderer to his face" lmao
@@fightscrimewhilesleeping4024 I'd heard about the hate mail but the people calling him murderer on the street is just icing on the cake. Honestly quite a big compliment for the author to have readers care about their characters so much.
@@katara2021 And also sad that can people go that low for fictional stuff
"The Final Problem", which featured Moriarty and ended with him & Sherlock going over the waterfall at Reichenbach together, WAS meant to be the death of Sherlock Holmes and the last Sherlock Holmes story. But 10 years later, Doyle finally caved to the pressure to bring him back lol.
...and his financial failures outside of Holmes & Watson writing.
“DID YOU JUST KILL MY NEW WIFE?!” has been in my mind since I saw this movie years ago lmfao
Haha! My favorite part is right before that, when Watson turns around to see her missing, Holmes' first words are "It had to be done." Given the first movie, Watson's reaction is understandable. :'D
I always found it hysterical his choice of words there, like it makes the act of throwing her off a train even more deplorable since she's a "brand new" wife smh
Guy Richie's camera work in the chase scene in the forest was phenomenal and shot so well to let the audience follow what was happening. It wasn't gimmicky slow-mo, it was purposefully shot so we can see all of the characters and where they are and what they were doing. It really embodied Sherlock's mind: in all the chaos, he still finds focus even in the minute details.
The slow-mo guys (on UA-cam) helped to shoot that scene!
It's also something Ritchie has done for much of his career...his first film has similar, if less ambitious, shots of that sort. He was an early pioneer of that shooting style.
It's amazing, weird how it doesn't happen more in film.
FYI, they had automatic weapons in the early 1900's, so it's not too obtuse to have them in this movie
The Mauser C96 was designed in 1895, so really this movie is only a few years early.
The Gatling gun was a fixture during the American civil war in the 1860s
@@jimmy2k4o and the Maxim machine gun (the first automatic rather than manual) was designed in 1884 and produced successfully starting in 1886-87 since it didn't work properly until reliable smokeless powder became available
@apollohateshisdayjob9606 correction, the Maxim was the first Production machinegun, there were numerous experimental machineguns created for decades before.
Sherlock and Moriarty were playing a game of chess the entire film.
The Opera scene gives me chills because Moriarty had Sherlock in check.
The line "Come if convient, if inconvient come anyway," I'm pretty sure was in the book because Sherlock uses that too in an episode. And I absolutely love that line.
It is.
I believe that one's from The Crooked Man.
Fun behind the scenes fact for ya: the dancing scene at the camp, despite taking only 15 seconds of runtime, took them 3 days to film
What? Really? Why?
@@theJ3ZA probably they filmed a bunch more but only 15 seconds of it stayed in the final cut
@@theJ3ZA Well, and logistically... there's ALOT going on... stunts, the dancing, lots of extras... all that sort of stuff starts adding time needed to get it all done.
I remember, years ago in the theater, people started cheering when Holmes finally started his inner monologue during the Moriarty fight, then became completely silent when Moriarty's inner monologue joined in... it was awesome.
The "battle of the minds" scene is one of my favorite in any movie.
Another somewhat meta thing this sequel does, which in my mind makes it one of the best, is that it uses the 'Sherlock scan' from the first film, and the first half of this, to lull the audience into following Sherlocks deductions, seeing what he sees, and like him, feel like you know what is going on.
Then, especially in the opera house sequence, pulls the rug out from underneath you when you realize that you were wrong. Just like Sherlock felt.
It gets the viewer in the head of the protagonist in a way I only ever see in novels, but with a visual medium.
It's fantastic.
Then at the summit during the chest game, when Holmes starts doing his 'fight analysis' , and Moriaty cuts in, like he is in Sherlocks head. Because he is. And the back and forth there has high stakes, not just because they are both describing the strengths and weaknesses that will lead to Holmes losing, but because we have already been shown that Moriarty CAN beat him once already in the film.
But it's the way it is filmed that sells it, taking the familiar automatic win sequence of Sherlock planning his smackdown and disrupting it with the villain cutting in and doing it too, which also gets in the audiences head and makes you uneasy as now the outcome is uncertain. Again, getting you in the mindset and feelings of the protagonist.
And communicating it almost entirely visually.
When he is on his A game, Guy Ritchie is one of the greatest visual artists ever.
I love it so much.
i must admit, i was a bit disappointed when these two never got a chance to actually fight. because;
1) im a succer for boss fights
2) they've mentioned moriarty's boxing skills, so it would be a cool pay off
but neverthless, this one was one of the most satisfying villain defeat i've ever seen.
From Basil Rathbone to Cumberbatch, this character never grows old. Since you like these films, I do hope you consider the series with Cumberbatch, he really gives Sherlock a wonderful twist and Andrew Scott's Moriarity is a master class of twisted genius. Also a lot of easter eggs from the books.
I will never forget seeing this in a crowded theater - and the GASP that went up with "Come now... You really think you're the only one who can play this game?"
I found it funny that for that dramatic theoretical fight between Sherlock and Moriarty, both of them failed to predict that Watson would be coming through the door. If they had actually fought it would have been Sherlock and Watson versus Moriarty and they would have won 😅
No.
@@scottchaison1001, Watson was being targeted bc of Holmes. Holmes is the only one who can defeat Moriarty.
In regards to the machine gun the 1st (Vickers-Maxim) was invented in 1884 so yes the one Watson used is pretty accurate for the time period. :)
Actually, gatling gun was 1864, so they can only be more advanced from there
@@cobaltsable1800 Wasn't talking about the gatling gun (1861) as its not considered as a machine gun because it's not automatic.
@yedead1 I know it's not automatic, however, historically it is considered a hand driven machine gun.
I do agree that it does not match the modern use of the term
The first season of the Sherlock TV show is phenomenal. But it slowly starts getting just weird until it is not Sherlock at all. For me the 4th season was a big "WTF is going on here?"
Would love to see you both react to the first 3 seasons though.
Oh jeez. That’s too bad
see i enjoyed them all, it definitely felt different but was entertaining and well done all the same. final seasons of shows are always a hot topic, usually people don’t like them. i guess it’s just too difficult to write final seasons to everyone’s taste
although i will never forgive the writers of the merlin tv show for that ending
The idea was to change things up and keep the audience off balance and unable to really predict where things were going. Whether that was a good idea or a bad one is largely up to the individual. I for one enjoyed the change up and differences. It still worked.
My favorite part is the bomb scene and the opera playing in the background. It's especially poignant if you know what the opera is about. The song is from the opera Don Giovanni, of course, but the point of the song is about a man who has committed several atrocities in his life basically giving the middle finger to someone trying to redeem his soul. In the end, he's dragged down to hell kind of like the fisherman who is dragged down by the trout.
It's Wing Chun. He has a dummy for the strikes in a couple movies, including one of the Iron Mans.
Oh cool!!
Now that you're on a Sherlock Holmes binge, you may as well watch The Great Mouse Detective if you haven't already. The author of the book which that is based off of was a member of the sherlockian society and based many elements of the characters she created off of the Sherlock Holmes books. She actually knew Adrian Conan Doyle, sir Arthur's son, personally.
I love these movies, I wish that there was a third movie. But I prefer the first movie more.
RDJ and Jude Law dynamic was soo good, they sold the bromance.
So the opening scene, the explosion in front of the Cathedral, that was filmed in Strasbourg, and it was all practical, explosion included. My dad was an extra there too
Wow!!! That’s so great!
These movies had such a big influence on my development as a kid.
As a kid!? Damn...
@@Nekotaku_TV Yeah, time flies.
@@FluffyJackie T_T
There's a fun... let's call it an... open-ended implication - about Mycroft Holmes. You'll notice that he's effectively head of a very early form of the British Secret Service.
A later spy agency that could very well have been a descendant of this one is the famous MI6 - the agency that 007 James Bond worked for.
And Bond's boss in most of the movies was code-named "M".
M possibly an homage in that universe to... Mycroft, perhaps?
If you like to tie in various movies and shows via oblique details like that in fan-fiction, they've certainly provided a hook for that, here!
The real code letter for the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service is C, taken from the surname of the first to occupy the office - Sir Mansfield Smith-Cumming.
All of this was classified until quite recently, but was known to Ian Flemming as he had worked for SIS himself. So using the letter M in the Bond books was an inside joke.
@@benkelly2024 Did “M” stand for something specific in Ian Fleming’s mind or notes?
@@logandarklighter Yes - Mansfield. The joke was that M is the first letter of Smith-Cumming's first name instead of C from the surname.
If you notice Mycroft is the one who disarms the assassin and orders his attendant to protect the ambassador.
He runs toward the trouble. Which was at odds with his demeanor prior. Which suggests like Sherlock he is capable of a lot more than he appears at first.
Also Stephen Fry is great, he has that combo of being disarmingly funny and non-threatening, but is also a very large man with an intimidating presence if required. The latter he doesn't get the chance to use often enough.
Ive always loved this more than the first. Moriarty is in my top 10 (maybe 5) movie villains. Done so well!
LOVED this one!!! So much more than the first one 😂 rdj and Jude law had more time I feel to get into the characters and the way they made the movie was SO amazing.
Watched this again yesterday. Moriarty is the perfect mix of intimidating and mysterious. “Come now, you think you’re the only one…” is outstanding thrill. Also the scene running through the forest after they escape the Armory is cinematic history.. that imagery is nuts
"Fine, dinner and a shoooowww." sniff sniff, I miss her.
I saw an interview with Guy 'a while back' where he said they finalized the script for the 3rd outing and that Downey had signed off on it, so they were ready to shoot because they had have a window between Infinity Wars and Endgame that Downey was available for. I guess the shoot went over that window and they never got to make it. Considering how 'close' they are to having the finalized ingredients, it's just a matter of time for them to get around to it; just wish it wasn't taking this long :/
And as everyone has already said, yes, please do BBC's Sherlock. The first coupla seasons are brilliant. Then maybe get back to more Ritchie, maybe start at the beginning, Lock Stock, and go forward :)
The run through the woods escaping the weapons factory is one of the most beautifully shot sequences. The zoom in/out, the time changes, following artillery and bullets through the chaos... almost like the chaos is the main character in the sequence. I really wish they would make more of these... these two movies were just so much damn fun. And perfectly cast. Think of Moriarty and Holmes like Batman and The Joker. And Mycroft, in the books, basically RAN the British government. Whatever role he had, more or less everything had to go through him. He was involved in espionage and covert operations as well as the Navy and Army, etc. He was also enormously fat and NEVER worked. He sat in the gentleman's club he belonged to and ate all the time. If someone had to go search something up, he called on his brother Sherlock. And sometimes when Sherlock was utterly stumped he'd go to Mycroft who was the smarter of the two of them.
The hound of the Baskerville's with Jeremy Brett is a must watch - one of the classic ones imo! I can't wait to see what they have in store for the next Sherlock with RDJ though. He's so good. No-One could give Sherlock as much of a challenge, as Moriarty imo
First-time commentator on White Noise Reacts. Great reaction, you guys!
While you have voiced an interest in watching the relatively recent and popular BBC series _Sherlock_ (2012-17), may I suggest that you instead watch the Granada _Sherlock Holmes_ series (1984-1994), which starred the late, great Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes? Though it may seem like an oddity against the heavily-promoted series starring Benedict Cumberbatch, I promise you guys that it is as close to an immaculately faithful adaptation of the original works by Arthur Conan Doyle that you will ever find in terms of plot, setting and, not least, the main actor’s unforgettable portrayal of Holmes (I personally consider Jeremy Brett’s performance to be the definitive standard against which all other media portrayals of Holmes are measured).
In addition to being the spitting image of artist Sidney Paget’s illustrations of Sherlock Holmes from _The Strand Magazine_ , Brett became so fanatically devoted to researching and embodying the character of Holmes that it actually took a mental toll on him (in addition to him already being manic-depressive); in return, he managed to physically, tonally, verbally, facially and quotationally emulate the athleticism, demeanour, body language, neuroticism and underlying humanity of the literary character down to a T. All of the above seem even more remarkable when one considers the fact that Brett began the role at age 50 until his unfortunate death at age 61. To this day, the Granada _Sherlock Holmes_ series remains his legacy.
Regardless of your choice, should you wish to broach the Granada series starring Jeremy Brett, note that its four "seasons" were released under different titles. They are as follows:
1) _The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes_ (1984-85)
2) _The Return of Sherlock Holmes_ (1986-88)
3) _The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes_ (1991-93)
4) _The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes_ (1994)
Best regards
Jeremy Brett would always be my absolute favorite on-screen portrayal of Sherlock Holmes. Absolutely flawless!
I could not possibly agree with this comment any more than I already do.
Jeremy Brett is super cool. He's the definitive Maxim DeWinter in "Rebecca", the 70's mini-series, as well.
Better watch this before it vanishes, people
Robert Downey Jr has been practicing wing chun for almost 20 years
having not sen the movie, i just watched the 1st scene in strasbourg as i know plenty of people that were extras in it! (yes, the cathedral is astonishing)
That scene in the forest with the slow mo running took weeks to film; they had camera rigs 40 feet long that would whip around at lightning speed to capture that slow mo running. Also that bullet passing Watson's jacket was a real cloth simulation of a bullet being shot past a dummy with the same clothing and they edited it into the shot.
Also the show motion filming was done by Gavin Free, also known from the Slo-Mo Guys and Achievement Hunter/Rooster Teeth.
Which is astounding because if you only knew him from Rooster Teeth you wouldn't think the guy could tie his shoes without hurting three people and himself.
In the books Sherlock did die in tge fight with moriarty BUT readers wanted him back so much Sir Cannon Doyle retconned his death and wrote several more stories
You should do the TV show Sherlock. I think you would find it interesting. Mary gets a lot more screen time if you like her character.
33:05 It's interesting to note that most of the weapons and Moran's suppressor in the movie have a prototype or basis in reality. Of course, guns like the C96 and Maxim light (sub) machine gun were anachronistic by a couple of years, but it works well with the historical fiction setting leading up to the First World War.
This movie is great.
The Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland is a real place. Of course it doesn't look like in this movie, but it's still a very nice place to visit. Just go to the town of Meiringen in Kanton Bern. The Falls are right next to it. There are some nice Sherlock-dedicated things to see there, etc... ;-)
Greatest achievement of the movie: a villain well worth the hype created for him......that is a rare feat. Bravo
The BBC show highlights Sherlock's and Moriarty's relationship a lot more and the actors overall are great! Cumberbatch, Freeman and Scott really bring their A- game acting. So I would deffo watch the show if I were you guys!
You should definitely watch the Sherlock tv show, it's incredible.
Yes indeed, the final lines Watson typed were the final lines of the story depicting Holmes vs. Moriarty. There's quite a lot of dialogue from that story, along with several other Homes stories, in this film as well as the previous.
People also ask
Is there a Sherlock Holmes 3 coming out?
As of December 2022, Sherlock Holmes 3 has no confirmed release date, but we know that the film is in development. The third Sherlock Holmes movie was announced soon after the release of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, more than a decade ago, all the way back in 2011
19:45 you can see by the look on his face that he knows he and his mate are about to die, and he just closes his eyes in acceptance.
You gotta watch Guy Richie's King Arthur next Tuesday!
The actor playing Moriartie (not sure correct spelling) was AMAZING in the Chernobyl series
I have been waiting for this.😀😀😀
Thank You, they did promise us a third one but now not do sure.
The reason Doyle Brought back Sherlock was because His death caused such an uproar that he was pressured to bring him back
My ex bought me a book for my birthday about 15 years ago of every sherlock homes short story and novels compiled into one book with all the original illustrations as they first appeared in the strand magazine and publications thereafter. I'm happily married to my now wife with kids, but i must admit that is still one of the best gifts I ever recieved.
I would LOVE for y'all to react to the show, it's one of my altime faves. I really like the movies but the show is even better imo.
You should definitely check out Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch. A beautiful modernization of Holmes that still encapsulates all that make him a great character.
Holmes vs. Moriaty is so well done. I enjoyed your reaction. Thanks for sharing.
Movie recommendation: Dances With Wolves
The music played when Sherlock rides the pony is a nod to the western comedy movie Two Mules For Sister Sarah staring Clint Eastwood and Shirley Mclaine
Hell yeaaaaa. Been waiting for this one. The ending of this during the chess scene is iconic to me. What a great scene.
Gavin free from slow mo guys/achievement Hunter/rooster teeth was on corridor digital to explain how they filmed the slow mo running scene with the trees exploding in real time :)
Please do more Guy Ritchie movies!! He’s one of my favorite filmmakers.
Ritchie films you MUST watch:
Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels
Snatch.
RockNRolla
The Gentlemen
After I saw this in cinema I was so shook I couldn't think about anything else for like two months.
You should totally watch BBC Sherlock!
"Bro, we're not watching a superhero movie."
Aren't you, though?
My favorite quote was: "You see, hidden within the unconscious, there is an insatiable desire for conflict. So, you're not fighting me, so much as you are the human condition. All I want to do is own the bullets and the bandages." This is so deep. Moriarty was not the cause, but he only "served" as a catalyst.
I love this movie it is one of my favorites movies 😊 so much fun, great action, great actors, great plot, great directory 😁
Can you believe the actor of Moriarty is also the one playing king George in The Crown?
I could teach a whole writing class just on the subtext in Holmes and Moriarty's conversation in Moriarty's classroom. They never directly say what they mean, they just dance around it. "more recent endeavors" "I will send my regards to the happy couple." It's just excellent dialogue writing.
Definitely go for bbc Sherlock. I just love those, wonderful take on the characters, brilliant actors, superb writing.
Fun fact! Gavin Free of The Slow Mo Guys actually helped with a lot of the slow-mo shots on this film!
I don't know why I have only watched this movie once whereas I watch the first one, at least once a year
Omg I love this movie so much and I'm such a nerd about Sherlock Holmes I could talk about it for hours xD
This movie is a very loose adaptation of the only story with Moriarty in it : The Final Problem. Holmes and Moriarty’s dialogue in their first scene in the movie is very close to their first meeting in the original story and Watson’s speech after Holmes dies is exactly the same. In the story, Holmes is being pursued by Moriarty’s men and takes Watson with him to Switzerland to hide but Moriarty’s men trick Watson into separating from Holmes and take Holmes to the falls where he has a confrontation with Moriarty and seemingly falls in the waterfall with him. It’s much smaller and much more contained so that’s why I said “loose adaptation” xD
And what you said about Conan Doyle is true, apparently he was tired of the character and killed him to write some other stuff but apparently a lot of fans annoyed him into writing new SH stories and so he revived him lmao
Anyway, to come back to the movie I prefer this one to the first one even though the first one is so good. This one is just even more epic and clever I love it ! And Moriarty is such a great villain, Jared Harris plays him perfectly ! I personally love the action and even though I can understand why some people can be bothered by it because it doesn’t fit the SH image of being clever and fighting with the mind, I actually love it ! They are so many scenes and moments I love in this that this comment would turn into an essay so I’m gonna stop there 😅
There was supposed to be a 3rd movie but it got delayed several times and then even more because of covid so now I don’t know if it’ll ever come out but I really hope so ! 🤞
Also I would love for you to react to Sherlock ! If you’ve never watched the show you’re in for a treat because it’s very cool and clever ! Each episode is 1h30 so it feels like a small movie and the cast is perfect !
When I learned Jared Harris was Richards son a lot of little tics I recognized came in to focus.
All the Sherlock books are written from the perspective of Dr. Watson. When you read them is like you are reading Watson's diary of events. Usually when you read a book it's the book itself giving you the story. But the Sherlock books are like Dr Watson is giving you the story. It's like he's telling you what happened so you see the story through his eyes. They are brilliantly written and they still hold up in the modern times. Stephen Fry, who's in this movie as Sherlock's brother, has read everyone of the Sherlock stories as Audio Books. So if you don't have the time to read or are looking for something to listen to while doing other tasks then look for them. They are not expensive.
Madcap prop-centric action that invokes a 19th century-era Pirates of the Carribean, RDJ's Holmes being just as unpredictable and eccentric as Captain Sparrow. I also like the choice of Stephen Frye as Mycroft. Damned shame they never got around to making a 3rd.
"It's like a game of...minds"
really? there wasn't another word that came to mind? lol
😂😂
I just watched your reaction to the first one, this is such great timing
“maybe the money is the byproduct, maybe he just wants to play the game” Nobu coming in hot with some incisive analysis!
In the book, their adventures continue. Sherlock reappears and they catch the sniper.
Also, if you’re going to do a whole Sherlock Holmes binge, maybe you could do The Great Mouse Detective, lol. As a kid, this was my first introduction to the idea of Sherlock Holmes.
I second everyone recommending the BBC Sherlock series!! Its set in modern London but its FANTASTIC! Seriously. I think going by your reactions to the films, you'll probably really like the show.
I think most fans didnt really connect with/like the final season (Season 4) but seasons 1-3 are really solid in my opinion.
I agree about the forest scene. On the one hand an artillery barrage is a little over the top for this kind of movie but on the other-- damned if it wasn't cool. Also the submachine gun thing is kind of based on reality. I mean as soon as the brass cased cartridge was made affordably available to the public people were working on getting as much use out of it as possible. There were extant plans and patents for autoloader pistols, rifles, and carbines going back to the beginning of the 19th century, they just needed a reliable round to push them. The last real stumbling block was a cheap and reliable clean burning propellant-- as black powder will gum up even the most robust action within a few rounds-- which by the mid-1880s was already being adopted for military use.
Thats Arthur Shelby! I rarely ever see Peaky Blinders actors in other stuff. Ive watched these movies so many times too.
I heard a rumor there's going to be a third movie. I really hope that rumor is true.
Anyway, great reaction guys.
Another comparison is that of Sherlock Holmes as the 19th century age of enlightenment man and Moriarty as the 20th century industrialized man. Holmes could not A) comprehend the thought of an industrialized war and B) comprehend that once stopped, it would happen at some point anyway...Moriarty both comprehended it, but was actively working to make it happen. In his POV, as it was going to happen, he would position himself to make the most $$ from it. The scene at the arms factory and then the use of the more modern weapons, beyond the slick and style of the scene, was there to illustrate in a most graphic way the transition of the worldview from Holmes' to Moriarty's. Holmes and Watson and the gypsies belong to the 19th century and the 20th century would destroy them violently...the scene was Moriarty's world view trying to demonstrate to Holmes' world view that they no longer belonged and would be destroyed by the new world order.
There was a book, titled The 7% Solution, written by Nicholas Meyer (who directed Star Trek's 2 and 6 movies, as well as a movie Time after Time in which Jack the Ripper steals H.G. Wells' time machine and goes to the 20th century (thus playing with the 19th vs. 20th century man motif). The connection here is that the 7% Solution is Holmes succumbing to his cocaine addiction and fixating on an innocent Dr. Moriarty (who was actually an innocent man). Watson and Moriarty trick Holmes into following Moriarty to Austria, where they have him put in a hospital run by Dr. Sigmund Freud, who psychologically counsels Holmes and gets him off his drug addiction. While in hospital, Holmes discovers a conspiracy to cause a European multi-national war (i.e. instigate WW1) and he and Watson then have to act to stop the conspiracy and stop the war from starting.
I've not read or seen interviews from the screenwriters or Guy Ritchie w/r to Game of Shadows, but I have to think some elements of the 7% Solution novel were brought into this story. Also, in the classic Conan Doyle stories, he and Moriarty have their confrontation at Reichenbach Falls and both go over with Holmes presumably dead. Conan Doyle meant that to be the end of his writing Holmes stories, but demand dictated that he bring Holmes back to life for a few more stories.
Moriarty could be based to some degree on the real life arms dealer Sir Basil Zaharoff and/or Cecil Rhodes and his Society of the elect (who were basically responsible for the Boer wars - of which Conan Doyle even wrote a book - and later worked towards WWI. - a bit like in this movie).
Holy crap is the sniper guy also Arthur Shelby?
And holy crap Moriarty is Anderson Dawes from The Expanse
Oh yeah
Thanks for the reaction. Great, as always!
The horse thing always cracks me up, because compared to the regular, big horses, ponies are pure evil.
4:40
oooooooooh.... so, Winston was pulling a Moriarty there in John Wick.
I totally forgot about this part.
I loved Watson as action hero in this.
Haven't even started the video and I know I'm gonna love it
You are the only reactors that i saw reacting to this movie!. For me it was awesome!. I really hope they do a third movie sometime.
41:51 This line, just how he says it so matter of factly. He knew exactly what depths the European countries would sink. And he wasn't wrong they got 2 industrial wars back to back within the 1st 45 years of the 1900s.
I can’t recommend the BBC Sherlock enough. I remember being completely horrified of the concept of a modern Sherlock when I first heard about it because I’d seen some of the older movies and read some of the books when I was a kid and I genuinely wasn’t sure how the aesthetic of Sherlock Holmes would translate to a modern day.
I have never been so happy to be wrong about a tv show in my life. It’s hands down my favourite adaption and the cast is absolutely fantastic. Even if you don’t decide to put it on the channel I’d honestly just recommend it as something to watch in your own time.
I watched this in cinema, the final scene.. explosion of laughter! Amazing movie.
thank you for your reaction; this is one of my favourite films. I agree with you about wanting more Sherlock/Moriarty interactions though. the action was very heavy in this movie; it's still good tho.
The first automatic pistol was created by Joseph Laumann in 1892. But the Borchardt pistol of 1893 was the first automatic with a separate magazine in the grip, and this remains the defining feature of the breed. More automatics came in rapid succession, including Browning, Luger, Mauser, and Colt models.
You should also watch the episode “The Final Problem” and The Adventure of the Empty House” from the Granada tv series starring Jeremy Brett. It’s the closest live action adaptation to the original canon.
Y’all have to watch Sherlock. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are phenomenal. The writing, the acting, the visuals… Everything is chef’s kiss.
I will always love this movie :)
love this one a lot and grew up watching it with my dad also me and my dad both like this version
I really wish they'd do the third part. I know it has been announced but that was ages ago.
