Pipefinder General

@Dorelaxen Ай бұрын

Holmes' pipe here in the second scene is closer to what he smoked in the books. A simple clay pipe. For all of his intelligence and fashionable dress, Holmes was at heart a simple man with simple pleasures (his cocaine habit non withstanding). The huge calabash pipes you see him with in drawings and certain adaptations (such as here) was possibly brought about by stage actor William Gillette, who used one during his stage plays so the smoke wouldn't obscure his face or vision. That might be apocryphal, true, but still, the classic deerstalker hat and calabash pipe are so integral to the character, that seeing him here with a literature accurate clay pipe (note the small nipple at the bottom of the bowl, which was common on clays) is quite odd.

Tremendous acting at 2:55. Look at the expression on Holmes' face as he says "..are past" and immediately after. He looks so crestfallen.

Jeremy Brett modeled his Sherlock Holmes on the Sidney Paget illustrations from the books.Therefore he is seen smoking mostly Church Wardens and Dublins.Then in the Holmes movies of the early - mid 20th century he was seen smoking the Calabash style pipes he is associated with .The curve of the stem allowed the actor ( Basil Rathbone and others) to speak while smoking and still have his face open to view.

I have lit my own pipe that way. However, I took a small glowing coal and sat it right on top of the tobacco and left it there. It added to the taste of the tobacco.

I say, Benedict's sherlock is the best still. It captures the arrogance, but also the compassion and brilliance of Sherlock Holmes. But one thing Benedict's Sherlock could have improved was Watson's companionship with Sherlock Holmes. Watching the BBC series of Benedict's, I didn't feel like the two were friends. Maybe this was their downfall in season 4. I obviously see in other sherlock films and series of the two characters being real companions, but not on the recent one.

@AndresGarcia-ul1wk 3 күн бұрын

No. Benedict is not the best Sherlock. He misses all the main characteristics that Holmes has in the books. He is a gentleman in the novels and short stories, really kind with people, except when there is a need to be angry. He loves when people around him have a profound interest in his methods and does not have any problem in explaining them. BBC Sherlock believes he is the best of all and is always trying to prove it by devaluating the people around him, treating them like idiots, something the original Holmes would never do. Is he brilliant? Could be. Many deductions in the BBC series don't make any sense though. You said it, he does not even appear to have a good relationship with John, so how can you say that he is a good Holmes? It could be an interesting adaptation of Holmes, but as a portrayal of the book it's a disaster. Jeremy Brett wins.

@@AndresGarcia-ul1wk yeah, I agree with you that sherlock in the books is a real gentleman very polite. But you cant deny, even in the books, he is very sharp, almost surgical with his words within his politeness. In victorian times, I think that could be looked upon as very arrogant

It's relative. If Sherlock had his way his cases would be told like a class or lecture, but Watson is writing from a stance of whimsy and amazement. The same story, just told in different ways. Sorry if you weren't actually looking for a serious answer. I'm just a fan of this sort of thing.

I like the fact he's using all kinds of pipes instead of just one, I understand the reason for the one used in the stage plays which became the iconic one, but the books show he has quite an array of pipes..the long one where he says "to smoke" seems like a churchwarden pipe..which one of the books mentions him replacing an old pipe of his with a "long cherry wood pipe"..that seems like the one mentioned.

@dylancatlett6580 8 ай бұрын

@@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo I would hesitate to say that is true. Many pipe smokers from decades ago just used one pipe, replacing it when it broke. They'd go to the pharmacy and pick up another Dr. Grabow. These days, people usually smoke with more than one, though, as they can afford it and generally approach pipe smoking more as a hobby than something just to do.

Everyone heaps praise on Jeremy Brett as Holmes, and quite right too but David Burke is peerless as Watson. You can really believe that he and Holmes are best friends that live together.

I very much agree. David Burke was a wonderful Watson, and he and Brett really made for a great pair. It’s too bad he decided against continuing on with the series. Edward Hardwick was a worthy replacement though, even if his Watson is very different. Burke brought a lovely enthusiasm to the role, that I miss in the later episodes.
