Divergence and rebellion against traditions and beliefs is not always a bad thing, it is a motive for change and progress, but is every person who does this really for the sake of change or just for difference? This is the idea of the movie Enola Holmes in general, and it is also a description of it. It is a different film than many other films on a number of levels.
The Enola Holmes movie story
Based on a short novel of the same name that revolves around the younger sister of the famous investigator, "Sherlock Holmes", who discovers that her mother has disappeared suddenly for no reason. About a dangerous plot about a mysterious young prince.
The first point of difference in this film is the great change in the drawing of the character of Sherlock, as he is here unusually calm and balanced and carries a lot of interest in others, but these changes are very compatible with the general story of the film, so for the first time we see a smarter and more skilled character than Sherlock in resolving issues.
The film was based on the issue of the right of women to vote in the early twentieth century, and on the revolution of change and electoral reform in 1918 through the "Sofaret", an organization that aims to advocate for women's rights.
The film added a dramatic parallel to the main line of events, which is the disappearance of the mother of the heroine, "Enola Holmes", and connected the two lines in a superficial and unjustified way that made the film far from the crime films and solving mysteries.
The film distinguished itself in drawing a wonderful relationship between Enola and her mother and the extent to which her character was affected by her, but in the overall relations it was superficial, as the motives of each character were largely unclear, such as the character of the big brother "Mycroft Holmes" who loved to control, and the character of the grandmother "Toxbury", which was not justified Her actions in the movie.
The film took a comedic character throughout its events and excelled in many times, which is a strong point that distinguished its events.
The film's pillar of acting!
The texture of the film completely depended on the appropriate selection of the heroine and the honorary appearance of the actress "Helena Carter", who had a great impact on the viewers in her small appearance.
Millie Brown
One of the best emerging talents in Hollywood has presented us with the role of Enola Holmes, the smart and rebellious character against all general rules, in a very distinctive way and with a cheerful, lively and cheerful performance.
Henry Kevel
A very bad choice for playing the role of Sherlock Holmes, as he gave a completely inappropriate performance for him, making the character dull, expressive and emotionless.
Output
The second point of difference in the film is the directorial style, as it introduced us to the idea of "breaking the fourth wall," which was represented by the heroine speaking directly with the audience to compensate for the fragility of the film's story and attracting the audience's attention in order to interact with events far from being interesting events suitable for a police work that carries In his name "Holmes."
The director of photography presented the film to us in a cartoonish way, and he depicted the historical era of the story in a wonderful and joyful way, as he made a great contrast in colors between the countryside with bright colors, and London, the capital, pale in detail, which is predominantly gray.
Conclusion
A light family movie. Do not expect a thrilling detective story, but you will take a dose of beautiful comedy and simple drama, and thus do not raise your expectations because of the staff, as it is just a comic movie whose purpose is entertainment only.
