okay, those who have been very observant of me might have noticed that i am so in love with Sherlock Holmes. well, i have fancied the stories of an eccentric detective and enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes movies but what made me hardly in love with Sherlock Holmes is the BBC's version of Sherlock Holmes, or should i say, i fall hardly in love with BBC's version of Sherlock Holmes (in which i think Benedict Cumberbatch has really done a fantastic job in playing the role).
BBC's Sherlock Holmes mini series portrayed Sherlock Holmes as a modern 21st century man, in which we would have found him going back and forth checking on his phone, looking up for data in the internet and simply use our modern tech to solve his cases. In this mini series, Sherlock and Dr. Watson each have a website and a blog. You can even look it up in the internet and read it. Very funny and the touch makes it feels as if they were real.
What amused me the most is the fact of how smart and observant this Sherlock has been. Well, of course the other Sherlock movies that I've seen were ones of Robert Downey Jr. in which i think were rather to the slacker part and eccentric part of Sherlock instead of highlighting what kind of genius he could be by just being observant and making his points accurately.
I am not the type of person who would easily got carried away by the hip things but once i got my eyes on ones that really attracted me, i'd be a loyal fans. Those who knows me know that i am deadly in love with a musician named Jonas Myrin, I watched The Lord of The Rings Trilogy for I don't even know how many times already, I can even recited some of the dialogues and even read the books in less than a month and still thinks that it's the greatest epic movie, I watched My Best Friend's Wedding and Love Actually for I don't know how many times that I guess I can even tell you what's going to happen on screen just by listening to the background music, I have loved peach flavour since a friend of mine gave me peach chocolate and yes, those who knows me knows better than once I repeatedly talk about something it means I'm really into that something.
Okay, back to Sherlock. As someone who is also pretty much observant yet a bit ignorant and awkward regarding the relationship with other people, I am drawn into the character and the profile of Sherlock Holmes. I don't have proper knowledge about basic stuffs, something that my mother always giving comment about but I do have certain interest on certain things that which not much people giving an attention too. I can be very observant and remembering details than I should necessarily remember. For me, that could be the worse curse ever. However, I always adore smart people and the fact that Sherlock can always conclude something just by the things he has read, he has seen or he has heard definitely blown me away. Being observant turned out can be the greatest gift ever.
I once talked to a friend, suggesting that we could both be private investigators because both of us loved to look for information in places that sometimes people aren't so aware of even when it's right under their nose. I sometimes think that if I am followed or stalked by someone like me, that would be very scary. Well, of course I cannot stalk my own self, or maybe I should try :) - oh wait, i did try once and i was quite surprised by the results. Anyway, I fancy smart men and the Sherlock character in the mini series could really make me gasp. He's odd, eccentric, smart, observant, rather arrogant and self conceit, blatantly honest (without even thinking if his words can be such a piercing statement) yet he also has a kind and gentle heart. Seriously, this the kind of man to die for if you have the equal intelligence and able to play his game. Like Irene Adler.
Alright, see I am getting start to rambling about this Sherlock thing. I'd better stop before I start writing about the whole series, LOL! and yes, I never wrong in picking a genius because the man who played Sherlock, Benedict Cumberbatch has also been appearing in many roles in other movies and he's so darn good. Good grace!
