福尔摩斯也疯狂（最新福尔摩斯）

bulunuo

早在年初的时候，就知道小罗伯特唐尼版本的《福尔摩斯》要在圣诞档上演，没有想到现在终于上演了，却不一定能看到，好在有网络，至少有纽约时报，可以过一把瘾。
在网上及电视上看到的新版福尔摩斯造型及故事，一改传统的福尔摩斯日神形象，而将他隐藏的酒神元素端上台面。这也许是受了福尔摩斯的影响的成功的系列剧《house M.D.》的影响。看来影响总是相互的。华生由英国人裘德·洛主演，倒是很符合大家的想法。这里先将nytimes的影评推荐给大家吧：
The Brawling Supersleuth of 221B Baker Street Socks It to ’Em
      Published: December 25, 2009
贝克街221B的贫嘴的超级侦探强硬行事
Early in “Sherlock Holmes” — and also again, later on — the famous sleuth demonstrates his ratiocinative powers in a way undreamed of by his creator, Arthur Conan Doyle. Observing a thug standing guard over a horrible crime in a dimly lighted church, Holmes calculates just how to surprise the man, disarm him and beat him senseless. The audience follows his thought process through slow-motion pre-enactment, observing how the laws of anatomy and physics will be used to snap bones, gouge organs and turn flesh into pulp. Then, having seen it diagramed once on screen, we see it all again, with more noise, in real time. Elementary!
在早期甚至后来的福尔摩斯里，这个著名的侦探总是以一种让人意象不到的方式展现他的推理能力。观察一个匪徒在微暗的灯光下进行一次恐怖的犯罪，福尔摩斯计算如何让这个家伙惊愕，解除他武装然后毫不留情地痛击他。观众通过慢镜头演示顺着他的思路，观察解剖学和物理学的理论悲用在捏碎骨头，击破XX并把肉打成紫色。然后，在屏幕上看到这一过程的演示版，我们又看了一次，更多的噪音，很及时。这是基本？

Jude Law as Dr. John Watson

Film: Is That You, Sherlock? (January 25, 2009)

Doyle’s Holmes, who arrived in Victorian pop culture in 1887 (with the publication of “A Study in Scarlet”), has adapted since then to changes in taste and entertainment technology. He was a proto-superhero, amenable to all kinds of elaboration and variation, and even a measure of mockery, as long as the basics of the brand were respected. For most of his existence he has lived at 221B Baker Street, smoking a pipe, playing the violin and sticking faithfully to bachelorhood and his belief in the functional elegance of the deerstalker hat.
道尔的福尔摩斯，首次出现在1887xxx风格的大众文化中（以血字的研究出版为标记），不断随着欣赏品味和娱乐技术而改编。他是个原型超级英雄，经得起各种不同的诠释和改变，甚至是嘲笑的标尺，只要这个牌子要素受尊重。对于大多数的电影来说，他住在贝克街221b号，吸烟斗，拉小提琴，坚持独身和信仰，穿着高雅，戴一顶猎鹿帽。

But Holmes has never been much for physical violence, and the chief innovation of this new, franchise-ready incarnation, directed by Guy Ritchie and played by Robert Downey Jr., is that he is, in addition to everything else, a brawling, head-butting, fist-in-the-gut, knee-in-the-groin action hero.

但福尔摩斯从不迷恋暴力，不过这次新片的首要创新，独门秘笈，导演Guy Ritchie 主演Robert Downey Jr，却颠覆形象，把福尔摩斯设计成一个动作英雄，饶舌，用头顶人，拳击腹部，用膝盖顶下阴。

A smart one, for sure, and as played by Mr. Downey, with his characteristic twitchy wit and haggard insouciance, he has more intelligence than the movie knows what to do with. (His Holmes has also lost the deerstalker, favoring battered porkpie- or bowlerlike headwear, perhaps in homage to Charlie Chaplin, another character Mr. Downey has played.)



Of course intelligence has never ranked high among either Mr. Ritchie’s interests or his attributes as a filmmaker. His primary desire, most successfully realized early in his directing career, in “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch,” has always been to be cool: to make cool movies about cool guys with cool stuff. Yes, “Sherlock Holmes” is kind of cool. But that’s not really a compliment.



Still, it’s Christmas, and the teenage boys in the house have fructose in their bloodstreams and time on their hands, so let’s call it half a compliment. There are worse things than loutish, laddish cool, and as a series of poses and stunts, “Sherlock Holmes” is intermittently diverting.



The visual style — a smoky, greasy, steam-punk rendering of Victorian London, full of soot and guts and bad teeth and period clothes — shows some undeniable flair. And so do the kinetic chases and scrapes that lead us through the city, as Holmes and his pal Watson (Jude Law) scramble to unravel a conspiracy so diabolical that it fails to be interesting. Best of all is the banter between Mr. Downey and Mr. Law, who is looser and more mischievous than he’s allowed himself to be in quite some time. The mustache suits him.



Speaking of which: the beard is Rachel McAdams. She is inserted into the picture in a pretty, flouncy red dress to add a splash of color and dispel a few hints of homoerotic subtext. Holmes and Watson are longtime roommates, with an Oscar-and-Felix routine of quarrelsome affection. Watson’s engagement to a page of half-written dialogue named Mary (Kelly Reilly) sends Holmes into a snit of jealousy, which loses some of its interesting implications when Ms. McAdams shows up as a luscious thief named Irene Adler. I wonder: is she an ancestor of Jake and Jane Adler, the main characters of “It’s Complicated,” which also opens on Friday? Or does a movie opening on Christmas need to have a character named Adler in it for some reason?



Ms. McAdams, in any case, is a perfectly charming actress and performs gamely as the third wheel of this action-bromance tricycle. But Irene, though she figures in a few of Conan Doyle’s stories, feels in this movie more like a somewhat cynical commercial contrivance. She offers a little something for the ladies — who, according to airtight Hollywood corporate logic, are more likely to see a movie like this one if there’s a feisty woman in it — and also something for the lads, who, much as they may dig fights and explosions and guns and chases, also like girls.



Just like Holmes and Watson! They really do, in spite of the barely sublimated physical passion they manifest for each other in nearly every scene. I’m sure Warner Brothers would like me to change the subject and tell you about the amazing diabolical conspiracy that tests Holmes’s ingenuity, along with his faith in the supremacy of reason.



It seems that an evil aristocrat (Mark Strong), executed for a series of murders, returns from the dead to mobilize an ancient secret society that he may have time-traveled into a Dan Brown novel to learn about. Doesn’t that sound fascinating? I thought not. But there will be a sequel, for which this frantic, harmless movie serves as an extended teaser, and it looks as if it might feature Holmes’s literary archnemesis, Professor Moriarty. No doubt Holmes will break a chair over Moriarty’s head, kidney-punch him and kick him in the face. Wittily, though, like the great detective he is.






“Sherlock Holmes” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). A lot of fighting and not too much girl stuff.
