    More than a century after first emerging into the fogbound, gaslit streets of Victorian London, Sherlock Holmes is universally recognizable. And yet many of his most recognizable features don't appear in Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories. So who exactly is Sherlock Holmes? Who's the real "great detective," and where do we find him? Neil McCaw traces the evolution of Sherlock.
    Lesson by Neil McCaw, animation by Lasse Rützou Bruntse.

      +Khadijah Johnson True, Although I always imagine Holmes as illustrated by Sidney Paget, For me he'll always be the signature Sherlock Holmes artist. It's always funny to look at some of the pre Paget Sherlock Holmes illustrations, they're pretty bad IMHO including one from the 1890 edition of The Sign of Four which has a fatish Sherlock Holmes with a mustache under a W.C. Fields type of bulbous nose and a Nigel Bruceish Watson screaming his head off standing right next to Holmes at the scene of the Sholto murders.

    "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable must be the truth"
    "Where there is no imagination, there is no horror"
    "These are deep waters Watson"
    Respects to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for creating the most inconic character in the history of literary fiction.

    Jeremy Brett to me is my favorite sherlock actor. His version not only clung to the book so faithfully, he really kept the mannerism and the novel atmosphere. Tho, I have to give credit to young sherlock holmes because that was my first introduction to the Holmesian lore. And BBC Sherlock that gave me the kick to read Doyle's novels. I got curious after I read the book, so I looked at other adaptations and encountered Jeremy Brett's version.

      That's an underrated Disney film in my opinion. Basil and Rattigan are brilliant and egotistical characters. Also, you cannot fault Vincent Price's performance as Rattigan. He's completely there in the role. Most times with celebrity voices, you can see them in your mind's eye saying their lines into the mic in the recording booth. Try to do that with Price in The Great Mouse Detective. His speech and the animation just blend together flawlessly.

  • @finnpalm9951
    @finnpalm9951 Před 8 lety +618

    While I am not a purist, I do consider Doyle's stories to be the "real" Sherlock. I do enjoy some of the adaptations, including the latest movie franchise.
    I do think that saying that Joseph Bell "is" Sherlock Holmes is a bit of a stretch. However, I do believe that Doyle was inspired by Joseph Bell's personal nature and work when "designing" his character. Back through history medical practitioners had a more detective-like role, since what a doctor does is literally looking for clues and deducting the most probable cause, something which is true to this day. Today we have specialists in certain medical disciplines, like autopsy for example. This hasn't always been the case.
    Oh and by the way, Holmes does use the word "elementary", although he doesn't use the phrase "Elementary, my dear Watson". Also, Holmes is described to be wearing a deer stalker cap in "The Hound of the Baskervilles".

  • @ggwp638BC
    @ggwp638BC Před 8 lety +236

    When I first read Doyle's novel, I was very confused. The description of Holmes wasn't even near of what I had in my mind. Imagine someone that never watched Star Wars, and only knows Darth Vader through other people's interpretations of the character, and when he finnaly goes watches the movie, he sees a completely different character.
    From what I could see, after reading it, is that every interpretation of Holmes is how each autor takes what they most liked in the original Holmes, and works that as his main feature. And after those, we had the ones who took the interpretations of others and made their own interpretations.
    There are so many different Holmes, it goes from a range of British midle-aged kind of weird man, to an Eastern Europe Blonde Lolita. A Holmes for each taste.
    If I have to ellect one as the true Holmes, I would put the original one as the true character. Not exactly because it was the first one, but because every other version and interpretation has roots in Doyle's creation. That Holmes is every version of Holmes ever made, packed into a single character.

      +Callum Pengelly I agree with you, it wasn't the best example I could use (thinking about it now, Luke Skywalker would be a way better example). But it is still valid. Tecnically, every Sherlock Holmes should look the same, or at least look like each other. But it has been so many years, and so many re-interpretations, that each one is very different and unique, sometimes going completely against the original one. Yet, their roots are the same, and they are all Sherlock Holmes

    • @rubycrimson1353
      @rubycrimson1353 Před 7 lety +17

      If in the Spanish version he says that, it clearly means that the book itself was poorly translated since in the cannon that was never said. If a work is poorly translated you cannot tell people that the character actually said it in "some other langue version" because it clearly wasn't the author's intention to write it nor it had the author's permission for it to be said. The author was not responsible for the lack of care of the translator.

    Sherlock is a mystery solver. Who is intrigued by the unknown and the unsolved. He digs in deep to find out the truth and is never satisfied, he will still investigate the truth a little further until he absolutely understands, knows and grasp every detail involved. Real thinker who goes above and beyond the call of duty. With cleverness and true wit. Keen observer without leaving anything behind.

  • @gailcbull
    @gailcbull Před 2 lety +3

    I think this oversimplifies why Sherlock Holmes continues to appeal to generation after generation. If you've ever read the original Conan Doyle stories, you know that Sherlock Holmes in the original stories doesn't stay the same throughout them. The first story was published in 1887. The final collection of stories was published in 1927. That's a span of 40 years. No character has been written by a single author for such a long period of time. And as Conan Doyle aged, Sherlock aged with him. The author's changing perspective is reflected in how Holmes is written. That is why it is so easy for so many adaptations to pick and choose whatever traits they want to focus on. It's why adaptations have varied so much over the centuries. And it's why he has become so endlessly adaptable to any ideology.

Both based on real-life person, both have iconic features that are not mentioned in the text but are invented by the illustrator (Alice's long blonde hair and pinafore are invented by illustrator John Tenniel, while the real-life Alice was dark-haired), both adapted into countless form, embodying different ideas, and we still recognize them.

      I believe the first Herlock Sholmes was from Maurice Leblanc's "Arsène Lupin, gentleman burglar" series of books.
      He had to do it because Arthur Conan Doyle himself didn't like Leblanc using the name of his character.
      Not to mention Arsène completely upstages "Herlock" in the book and then sends a postcard to Sholmes containing Herlock's own pocketwatch, which he nicked.

    Though the exact sentence "elementary my dear Watson" doesn't appear in Doyle's work, "elementary" alone is sometimes used by Holmes to qualify some of his conclusion, for instance in "The crooked man" : "Excellent!" I (Watson) cried. "Elementary" said he (Holmes)...
