Blog post 2: Sherlock's Analysis

Sherlock Holmes - the most famous characters in literary history – was made by a Scottish author and physician Arthur Conan Doyle. Sherlock Holmes was born in 1854. He began to live at 221B Baker Street, London with Dr Watson, a close friend and biographer for Holmes during and after the case. In the first episode called “A study in Pink”, the woman in pink was the fourth in a series of seemingly unrelated suicides, but Sherlock Holmes deduces that the deaths were actually murders most foul.

From the beginning of the movie, the dream that Dr. Watson had basically tell us a little bit about himself. The signs of the battles, the noise of the gunshots, the people wearing soldier’s clothes were actually the war that Dr. Watson was an army doctor there just return from the war. He thought that he hated the war, but later on, when Holmes found out that Dr. Watson really enjoyed the time that he was in the war. Watson missed it, not hated it. Sherlock did that by reading signs that others had ignored or had believed to be trivial or inconsequential. Just by seeing the style of Dr. Watson’s hair, hearing the conversations when they walked into the room, looking the color of his face and touching the engraving on the back of phone, Sherlock knew all about Dr. Watson’s personality. Then the police asked for Sherlock’s help from the fourth suicides case. A woman in pink dress found death. He examined the woman, noticed certain things about it, and proceeded from there. He saw the text that the woman left behind but unfinished, could let him go to a wrong direction. He touch the coat to find wherever the woman go before being killed. He looked at the old ring, clean on the outside but dirty on the inside, and knew she was in unhappily married for over 10 years. He knew she had a suitcase because the mark on the right leg, and she never checked in the hotel because of her hair looking bad. That unusually for women. The signs and symbols always had their own meanings. In the middle of the movie, Sherlock found the phone being kept by the murderer and chasing the cab all over the London’s street. He knew the street so well even knew when it ended. Sherlock found out the message wasn’t the name “Rachael”, it was the password into the woman’s email address. He wanted to get on the game with the killer so he accepted to go with the killer. The sound of the movie when Sherlock spoke with the killer in the cab was darkness and horror.

I haven’t seen the Sherlock before and this was the first time I had interested in Mystery Movie. The more mystery Sherlock is, the more talents he has.
