CONSULTING DETECTIVE! - SHERLOCK HOLMES

          We all have one person in our society who is so intellectual but finds it difficult to accommodate with our society as he feels bored to meet our regular day to day requirements like going to job, having a perfect partner and living life perfectly. He generally wants some sort of controversial thrill mixed with generosity in his life. He aims for the impossible which no one gets in their life. He wants each and every day to be unforgettable. Our society names these people as PSYCHOPATHS. Actually the truth is these people could be titled as highly active functioning sociopaths(cliched!). One has to understand the fact every living human being in this world honestly expects some sort of hyperactive situations in their life. Situations which keeps them thinking each and every second and wants the adrenaline pumped up highly than ever. But we tend to avoid these things because of the demands we have in this highly competitive world as our whole life sums to these words SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. But what happens when we get to know a person who doesn't care about his duties at all someone who plays the game for the game's own sake. We would be really astonished because he is doing something which we can't do in any part of life and that's the reason why we call such a person as a psychopath.

     Generally, these kind of people doesn't have any friends around them just because their heart keeps changing day by day. So a normal person tends to avoid these kinds of annoying characters. But the unacceptable fact is these kinds of people have the most truthful friends in the world than the normal person who lives day to day life just for the sake of living. Because these kinds of people are loved by all but accepted by none. You need an extra sense to accept such a character in your life. Count on me such extra senses will be present one in a billion. An honest confession!

    Today am gonna describe about a person who is actually an hidden scientist, playful and always damn correct in his expressions, one who has mastered the science of deduction, the one who plays games with his own mind and precisely wins the game each and every time and most of all the consulting detective (invented by him). Yes he is SHERLOCK HOLMES.


        He is an imaginative character found by Sir Author Conan Doyle but what if suppose he lives in this world. Mark my words he will be considered as the most avoidable person in this world, who knows he might have won an oscar too if there existed such a category. But if he existed I would have turned in to a homo sexual and married him honestly I am saying this from my heart. Just love each and every action of him. Needless to say more than the author who created Sherlock, the latter is loved by many.

       So each and everyone wants to see him. What is the way? Its simple. Just created a movie about Sherlock Holmes. An imaginative biography. No one have seen god but surely we would have seen the actors disguising as gods and we consider them as demi-gods sometimes. Similarly we can consider Sherlock Holmes too in the same way.
   
              Today we gonna see about the movie "SHERLOCK HOLMES" released in 2009. The role of Sherlock Holmes is disguised by Robert Downey, Jr. One must accept the fact he has really done justice to the role perfectly. The role of doctor John Watson  is done by Jude Law. Irene Adler, Sherlock Holme's lady love is done by Rachel McAdams and the antagonist Lord BlackWood role is done by Mark Strong. The movie is directed by Guy Ritchie. Screenplay by Simon Kinberg and Antony Peckham, cinematography by philippe Rousselot and music by Hans Zimmer

               The movie starts off with Sherlock Holmes and his best friend John Watson hurrying to stop the ritual death of a woman performed by Lord BlackWood in a similar way how he killed five other woman. Sherlock Holmes and his partner in crime finds the hide out where this ritual is done and stops before the woman is being executed to death before the police arrives to the place. So finally police arrests Lord BlackWood with the help of Sherlock Holmes and Lord BlackWood as a result is sentenced to death by the law of the British following the execution of five women in the name of rituals. So the case is closed with the help of the consulting detective. Days passed by Sherlock Holmes spends each and every day feeling bored because he is yet to find a case after that. Because of the boredom he even experiments on John Watson's dog as he often does. On the mean time John Watson looks forward to marrying Mary Morstan( Kelly Reilly) and leaving 221B Baker's street (the official address of Sherlock Holmes). BlackWood just days before his punishment informs the cops that he wants to meet Sherlock Holmes and he meets him. He threatens that three more deaths will occur which will cause a drastic change and all the efforts to stop it will go in vain. So BlackWood is hanged to death and pronounced death by Watson. Irene Adler his former love meets him his residence one day and asks him to find Luke Reordan.  After she leaves Sherlock secretly follows her and finds that she has been intimidated by someone. Suddenly one day the BlackWood's tomb is destroyed and people started to believe the fact that he has been arisen from death and the whole public goes panic. Sherlock investigates and finds that some sort of planning is going on to link up mystery with magic. Like the word given by BlackWood three important persons in the British Government dies causing havoc and how Sherlock Holmes finds and solves the strange mystery behind these death and how BlackWood cheated his death forms the rest of the plot.

  Performance wise one must say Robert Downey, Jr. has done his proactive best. He is awesome and charismatic as Sherlock Holmes. His dialogue delivery is atmost perfect. He is playful, fun-filled,annoying  and honestly adorable. some part of scenes especially the stunt sequence at the bar, acting will be at its peak and you will be spell bound leaving the expression 'whoa!'.



Jude Law was so entertaining with the way he holds his bond with Holmes. The explosion scene at BlackWood's hideout will make you know how much he cares for his brother by bond and not by blood. certainly they are!.







         
Mark Strong as Lord Henry BlackWood will be at his classical best and will be scary at many places especially the court scene in the climax. Rachel McAdams has adapted to her role perfectly as Irene Adler.

       









         Cinematography and Editing was at its very best. This takes this action mystery film to great extends. One thing who needs a special mention is Hans Zimmer. This guy needs a real appreciation. This was his certain best after the batman triology. His background score till the very end is really fantastic.

         Robert Downey, Jr. won the Golden Globe awards for best actor on comedy. This movie has been also nominated for academy awards in two categories BEST ORIGINAL SCORE and ART DIRECTION which later lost to Up and Avatar. This sums up the fact what kind of a special movie is this. Not a movie to be certainly missed at any cost..The films sequel Sherlock Holmes : A Game Of Shadows ( TO SEE ITS REVIEW CLICK ON IT ) was released on 2011..

MY RATING - 4.5/5.

P.S- Please watch the movie with subtitles because there will be lot of technical terms used and also to follow the flow of the movie without any disturbance. Also watch the movie for Robert Downey, Jr's astonishing performance. On the whole a perfect entertaining movie I suggest you to watch on a perfect evening weekend.
