Holmes at the movies
Nobody better than a British actor to bring it to life on the big screen. And of the great names who lent it to him, I am left with the face and elegance of the South African actor Basil rathbone. The fourteen films that he shot between 1939 and 1946 alongside Nigel Bruce as Dr. Watson gave him world fame.
The matchless Peter cushing He also gave him his particular physiognomy in the version of The dog of the Baskervilles what did the legendary producer Hammer. And then he took over three years later in the series of the BBC which had started in 1964. He played it for 16 episodes. But precisely in The dog of the Baskervilles de la Hammer coincided with another great one, Christopher Lee, which would also be Holmes in the 60s.
The last and, of course, prestigious British name that has given it life has been another sir, Ian McKellen, which in 2015 recreated it in its most twilight tone in Mr. Holmes.
The Holmes of the XNUMXst century
It was the American Robert Downey Jr. what together Jude Law like Watson they gave Doyle's characters a few more, let's say, accelerated facets. The director's hand also contributed to this Guy Ritchie, that with Law, they put the British quota.
But it has been on television where again the BBC He washed his face and transferred him to our days. The Serie Sherlock and the faces of Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are the Holmes and Watson of the new generations. And that's also an achievement to bring them closer to the immortal literary character of Doyle. Even if I use mobile and internet.
The most childish and youthful Holmes
Sherlock, Lupine and I - Irene Adler
Perrock Holmes - Isaac Palmiola
This saga carries 5 titles already and is aimed at readers From 5 years. The protagonist is the pet that Julia and Diego manage to have. His name is Perrock, Perrock Holmes, and far from being just another pooch, he has the power to read the thoughts of anyone who scratches his belly.
Jeremy Brett was absent. So much so that I had to reread the post to make sure I hadn't accidentally skipped it. Right now I'm not sure, my brain won't accept that Jeremy Brett isn't in a post about Mr. Holmes and his adaptations. (So or more fangirl)
After that access of initial intensity, I will point out that it says century XIX instead of XXI and that I liked the article. I saw Peter Cushing in the Hound of the Baskervilles but not in the BBC series. I write it down for later.
A greeting.
Thank you for your comment, Lilykerry. Corrected that Roman stick that danced for me in the century.
And sadly I had to make a selection among so many faces for Holmes. Someone had to fail me and it was poor Brett's turn.
Again, thank you very much.
