BBC 新世紀福爾摩斯(Sherlock)

真心的喜歡、欣賞這部影集,可以重複看很多次都不累(因為節奏真的太快了)。

第一季播出(2010/7/25)至今已11年了,編劇們在寫第四季劇本的時候應該有設想到「這就是最後了」,第四季第三集算是個「好的」、「暫時的」Ending,若真有第五季或特別篇,可以重新開始;若真的無法繼續下去,也是個美好回憶的結束。

編輯很厲害,把原著裡的很多梗都埋進這部現代化的偵探故事裡。一開始是「偵探辦案故事」,慢慢的變成了「講述偵探的故事」,這樣的轉變,我個人覺得非常棒,若每次都圍繞著辦案,能拍多久不厭煩呢?但很多觀眾無法接受這樣的轉變,因此第三季和第四季的評價略差了點。

第三季第一集很搞笑、賣腐,應該沒人不喜歡開場的幻想片段吧?第四季全部(三集)是我不太願意多看幾次的,一開始Marry領便當;第二集Sherlock和John失意消沈,雖然破了案,但Sherlock失意消沈的樣子實在令人難過;第三集就更別說了,精神虐待加精神變態,令我難過又不解的就是「I Love You棺材」那段,同時精神虐待Molly和Sherlock,Molly在家泡茶也不得安寧⋯⋯我後來查了很多文章,美國的影劇網站、編劇回覆網友提問、大陸網民討論等等,試圖找出這段埋的梗和目的,編劇Moffat在10週年紀念回覆網友提問(https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/sherlock-anniversary-qa-steven-moffat-sherlock-does-love-molly/)時提到:

To mark the anniversary, creators Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat and Sue Vertue took part in a QA ession answering fan questions read out by Moffat and Vertue’s son (and young Sherlock) Louis Moffat.

To a question about how the ‘I love you’ scene in the series four finale ‘The Final Problem’ would have affected Sherlock and Molly’s relationship (in which Sherlock is forced to make Molly Hooper utter those words, ostensibly to save her life as part of Eurus’ twisted game), Moffat said that he’d given an irritable answer to this question before (presumably here). Here’s what he says now:

‘The thing that changes in that scene – and I really love that scene – is that Sherlock’s hugely emotional reaction to it afterwards is really a reaction to the fact he realises that’s the culmination of him having been an absolute arsehole to Molly for years and just realising sort of in that moment, that was a terrible way to behave. I sort of think he wouldn’t ever be like that again. He does love her, but not in the way she would like to be loved, but he does love her. He would always look after her, he would always protect her if he had to. Hell would fall on anyone who attacked Molly.’


他說Sherlock does, he does love Molly, but not in the way she would like to be loved, but he does love her. 從全部四季12集裡我尚未察覺到愛情,但Sherlock的確一直很信任Molly、越來越習慣Molly的陪伴,Molly不是特別的That Woman,但Sherlock也只是個一般人,不是嗎?

歐美影集的配樂很棒,不輸電影原聲帶,熟悉的旋律帶我憶起劇情,真是非常棒的享受。
