PARIS bombing - Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows HQ

[@austinmorrison6953]

I like how respectful this movie is not just to Holmes’ character but Watson’s as well. He’s able to keep up with Sherlock in his investigations and even match intellect at moments. I like how he’s even able to put his military history and knowledge to use.

[@Varun-uv4li]

Yes BBC sherlock's watson shown as weak.

[@falconwind00]

On the rooftop, a lesser Watson might have asked “but why use a bomb if you’re just going to shoot him?” To which Holmes would have replied “to conceal the killing, my dear Watson. No one looks for a bullet hole in a bomb blast.”

[@TBStudios91]

I love that his depiction of dr. Watson show him as a competent doctor and a war hero, instead of a bumbling buffoon like many previous portrayals

[@austinmorrison6953]

@@TBStudios91never understood that. Why is Watson so often this bumbling sidekick? Wouldn’t it make more sense for Holmes to have someone so intelligent as his partner?

[@OneofInfinity.]

@@TBStudios91 Lestrade is the only one that should always act like a buffoon in any iteration, fits him well 😄

[@pandeyji373]

The realisation of holmes that the bomb is not in the theatre but in the meeting hall then realising again that he could have caught moran only if he was at the theatre and not ran up to the hall is what shows moriarty's double plan to checkmate holmes.

[@georgeofhamilton]

These movies have got style.

[@barisbal7782]

and not the expense of the substance

[@harveysaini2844]

The woman was just munching throughout 😂

[@inr9751]

She does smoke a lot doe 😳

[@georgeofhamilton]

They definitely took inspiration from “The International” for the rooftop scene.

[@George-zj9rr]

I enjoy this movie the more I watch it, but despite the allowances for Moriarty's addiction to winning a convoluted game, I still don't quite get the need for Moran to snipe as well. You didn't conceal anything. You just shot a man in the head who was dead to rights anyway from the bomb.

[@davidhujan86]

I know, right? The target is literally in the same room as the bomb. There was no need for a sniper.

[@davidhujan86]

What were the screenwriters thinking?

[@sjmww1235]

To make sure he dies.

[@torandreasbelsaas]

Most likely to ensure that the target did die, as he says by the end that he wants to own the bullets and bandages. By killing the owners of the company's he kets the Lions share of the profitt. And like Watson said, no one is going to look for a gunshot in a bombing.

[@Exl6243]

My guess is that it’s to guarantee that he dies. Maybe Meinhard would be positioned in such a way that he survives the bomb blast.

[@joelemaine]

Does anyone think there should be a third movie?

[@GustavoSferr]

The unic Sherlock that is worth

Politics divides but business unite

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

Nice saying.

[@furioussherman7265]

1:52 It certainly doesn't look like 650 yards.

[@deadzone4155]

Maybe at best 200 yards and at worst 250

[@Sora-kaslana]

You guys know phytagoras?

[@dlumyoung09]

My issue with this scene is you're already looking to bomb the place, why shoot the man as well? Most likely the man would be killed in the explosion, why shoot him too? It just seems like overkill. Also it just seems like a sloppy way to inform Holmes and Watson that Sebastian Moran was involved as well.

[@deepakha1750]

What better way to conceal a killing? No one looks for a bullet hole in a bomb blast!

[@kolajoabiola2790]

Meinhard's assassination was the main objective. The bomb was just a cover-up. It had to look like a random anarchist bombing to avert suspicion. All those other people who died in that room were collateral damage.

[@SilverBull-et]

Moriarty wouldn't be Moriarty without assurance. Plus., even with them knowing, what can they do?. I mean moran even went to his wedding right?. He don't care

[@saswataroy6516]

You answered your question yourself.The man would be killed "Most likely." Moriarty wanted him dead no matter what.He didn't leave anything to chance.Because in bombing there always remains a small chance of survival.

[@ironvader502]

Because Moriarty both needed to make 100% sure he was dead, AND needed to make it look like an attack of french terrorists to rile up tensions between Germany and France.

[@foreveraloneguy6867]

Wtf is that song called? Nobody has a name

[@michaelh13]

Don Giovanni, K.527, act 2, a cenar teco

[@aristeia3703]

A really famous opera by Mozart called Don Giovanni

[@aristeia3703]

Just realised someone beet me to it.

[@almbg9555]

It's not Don Giovanni, it's the famous musician Yeltsa's song. Nevgongiv

[@omaanshkaushal3522]

The actual soundtrack is "To The Opera!!" by Renato Girolami

[@GEETKOSHTI]

Wait...!! did he said "how many of them served in Afghanistan" @2:15 ...?

[@michelchiant4147]

yes, because little before this period british army was engaged in Afghanistan to expend the territory of UK. It was a complete loose but it existed

[@claudius3359]

And Watson is also an Afghanistan war veteran

[@RedRanger9305]

How many of those men served in Afghanistan?

[@st-ko5zo]

I really miss this kind of original,fine film making....really gotta hate the franchsie fan service most film makers are doing these days....partly the audience is to blame,who love mediocre content more than art

[@aravindvirinchi9917]

Interesting choice of words. Data was not such a popularly used word back then, nor was it in common parlance to talk about gathering information. Poor dialogue writing or Holmes being extraordinary for no reason in his choice of words?

[@saintroddy]

Holmes exclaims "Data, data, data! I cannot make bricks without clay!" in the Adventure of the Copper Beeches, one of the original short stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. So it would be an apt saying for both the time and the character.
