Finished the pipe and the fedora. Guy Ritchie s' seize Sherlock Holmes to make a hero of blockbuster cockney of them. You said treason? By Gaël Golhen For Wednesday, new Sherlock Holmes has been in room. Far from the dusty versions of Rathbone or Jeremy Brett, the film of Guy Ritchie dynamites l' icon of Baker Street with l' d' helps; Downey Jr. in overheating. Sherlock Holmes 2.0 thus proposes fun, of l' action and puts the fans in anger. From the American exit, the furious reactions multiplied, criticizing the plundering whose Doyle would be victim and the absolute treason of the myth. In light? Sherlock Holmes is d' access a hero of deduction, a cerebral hero who passes his life to the 221B Baker Street, to smoke the pipe and to play of the violin. At Ritchie, it fights, drain or avoids the explosions. For A.O. Scott, critical legendary of NewYork Times, l' business is heard: " let us be serious, l' intelligence n' forever belonged to the principal interests of Guy Ritchie nor of her principal qualities of realizer. Ritchie makes cool films, in connection with cool guy which make cool tricks. Even s' it n' is not often diverting, Sherlock Holmes is thus a cool film. And that n' anything d' has; a compliment! C' is a pure treason and simple". However the things are not as simple as that. We wanted more and, put the question with 3 famous writers, fans of the detective to the pipe. Questioned by our care, Michael Chabon is d' an exactly contrary opinion. Chabon - crowned d' a price Pulitzer, scenario writer at his lost hours (Spider-man 2) and large fan of Sherlock Holmes - finds several qualities with film: " OK, this n' is not a d' chief; work, but c' is a film fun which rebat charts of the myth. Holmes is a proto-superhéros, an avenger of l' Victorienne" era; . D' where a certain legitimacy to make of it a character very close to the heroes of comics! Chabon returns especially on l' one of the principal reproaches makes with film of Ritchie: its violence. " The physical side, very criticized in this film, is present in the novels. Doyle made of Holmes a champion of boxing, a Master of the canes and a genius of Baritsu, a very violent martial art victorien. In the novels, c' is an athlete hardcore AND a esthète and from this point of view, Ritchie n' anything inventé" has; . For l' author of the final solution (whodunnit and second reading holmésienne), Ritchie réapproprie is made the myth, s' of it; move away d' a preserving vision of the character to make the light on under-exploited characteristics. What confirms Duane Swierczynski, author of the Crimes of Dr. Watson: " C' is true that Downey Jr resembles sometimes a little too much John McClane (he climbing of the turns, survives the explosions), but j' adored the way in which the film gives the meters to zero. The purists should unwedge themselves a little: there has enough of Holmes incarnated by Jeremy Brett. And j' like l' idea that Ritchie foute of l' intrigue to concentrate as in the novels on the characters (with the fact, you included/understood what the machine under the Parliament was supposed to do?). " Even story at DOA, author of the very good Snake to the miles cuts, left agreeably surprised projection: " C' is a very successful modern reading. C' is a good film of entertainment which avoids the glaucous one and treasons. Downey Jr incarnates a hero a little more returns-inside that l' original, but one should not lose sight of the fact that in the novels, Holmes is an extreme character, who likes to explore the hollows of London and déguiser" . DOA raises especially an nice idea of the scenario: " At the beginning, Ritchie flirte with the fantastic one without never sinking there completely. It turns around the fantastic one but all s' explain in fine in rational manner and that, c' is a nice homage in Doyle which was really l' man of the rationnel". The 3 authors find casting perfect (" special mention with Jude Law, very convincing in Watson" specify DOA) and the setting in energetic scene. Remain the reproach of under gay text (which made much for the promotion of film): for Swierczynski, " c' is funny and well vu" , but l' rather will be retained; DOA analyzes. L' writer points out that " the novels of Doyle tell d' access l' very strong friendship between Holmes and Watson, a d' report/ratio; exclusiveness and in absolute virility. Those which speak about under gay text n' undoubtedly ever lived or ever read d' history d' very strong friendship, with what that comprises like concept d' exclusiveness and in nondivision Holmes and Watson, c' was ça" . Elementary This qu' is thought; one wants film (nevertheless, a buddy sympathetic movie and well foutu), but the suspicions of treason seem to fall d' themselves.
