People watch BBC Sherlock and get the wrong idea about how deduction works. This Sherlock has been studying the hat for some time and he didn't just magic up these solutions. We see the work and the result.
Actually BBC Sherlock uses same process when he does deduction but it is modern version and in this century people want to be impressed so they show us Sherlock more impressive. But if you watch deduction scenes you can see every deduction has a logical reason and Sherlock examines everything before he starts to explain.
Sherlockian scholars are very harsh on these set of deductions. For instance, many men are unduly attached to beat up old hats. Hat securers had a brief vogue and have long since vanished from the scene. They didn't really work. "Big head, big brain" comes from the discredited pseudo science of phrenology, popular in Holmes' day, but now known to be garbage. It's very entertaining, but this set of deductions is almost entirely rubbish.
@@patrickjane7796 You are horribly mistaken. BBC Sherlock deductions scenes hardly make any sense. They lack complete logic. I guess for people who are not used to the deductive method, anything makes sense. In Sherlock, there's a scene in which he deduces that a man in a suit is from the Buckingham Palace. He deduces this from the expensive suit, from hairs of dogs, from the fact that he does not have a gun, his haircut, the cleanliness of the shoes and the polished nails. Presence of a weapon? Only discards it because he did not have it under his left arm. He could have it in his back, attached in his belt. So, wrong deduction as it lacks observation. The shoes, according to the show, entail the fact that he works in an office. Wrong, shoes can be stained and dirty and you can still work in an office. If you want even more wrong reasoned deductions in Sherlock watch the video: "Sherlock was actually bad" from The Art of Deduction, specifically the part of "Notes for the deductionist". BBC Sherlock is a drama show, not a logic show.
He is the classic, yes. Terrific. I've watched his series many many times, with great appreciation. Basil Rathbone is a very close second, unfortunately the way they portrayed Watson in those films, as an annoying self-absorbed bumbler, took away from it.
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown =)
@SneverusSnapers quite right. i forgot that we were talking about holmes and not brett. i quite consider brett as "the holmes" and so i automatically associate him with holmes.
@SneverusSnapers yes he was quite brilliant. i especially also like "an ideal husband" and "on aproval". funny. and he looks magnificient!!! it is unfortunate that he didnt do too many big movies though!! i should have liked to see more of him. i think i have past the stage of ridiculousness....its now more managable!! :P
Except everything we see in films is staged. The props are artificial, not shaped and influenced by their on-screen 'owners'. Holmes could probably deconstruct the life histories of the film makers and actors, but he wouldn't get much insight into the characters, at least not by his trademark methods.
This is one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes scenes. I can even remember and quote it word for word. Jeremy Brett was (and always will be) my Sherlock Holmes. Don't get me wrong, Benedict Cumberbatch is an amazing Sherlock Holmes if he lived in the modern world, but Jeremy Brett is the best Victorian Sherlock Holmes.
@SneverusSnapers i agree. he just as i had imagined holmes would be. i came across this work on about 4 years ago. but since then he ranks among my favourite actors!!
The goose was ordered many months before Xmas, and labelled from the order book to Mrs. Baker. Unfortunately, she died soon after. This struck the man so deeply that he let himself go, and the loss of her income was the downfall in his finances. The hat was a present from a well-to-do friend. The candle wax was from the staircase up to his bedroom - no one kept a gas light burning over their stairs or upper landings. If so, Holmes got _everything_ wrong.
This came from the now disproven scientific idea called phrenology, popular at the turn of the 20th century which attempted to link a person's head size and bumps on the surface of their heads and their mental capabilities. It's referred to in one other episode in the series, at the beginning of the Hound of the Baskerville, where a doctor attempts to examine Holmes's head. But I like that they kept these oddities in this series, part of their charm.
The size of the head is evident of higher intellect was only proved to be inconclusive. But for that time it was considered as a tell for greater intellect. Other deductions are logical and certainly not ridiculous.
@@myoldchannel0 The un-brushed hat is only tenuous evidence of having lost the love of his wife. He might be a widower or she may be ill, which is why he took up drinking. The drinking is based on the assumption that he bought the hat. It could have been gifted to him or he could have also found it, as it was found on the street by a policeman in this story and then had initial tag sewn in. "Mrs. Henry Baker" could be also be another relative; it's only inductive logic that they assume his name to also be Henry. Five candle wax stains can easily accumulate in a single night, if the hat is just left under a candle. And so on and so forth. I love Sherlock Holmes, especially Jeremy Brett, but cold reads are never deductive logic.
@@IAmMyOwnApprentice I agree to all. And maybe his wife loves him, but just tells him to brush his hat himself =D But this, I suppose, is an unlikely scenario in the Victorian era.
@@IAmMyOwnApprentice Why would he be getting a goose for his dead wife? And finding a hat with the initials same as your name is pretty lucky I must say ( again the card ). To have rich friend, who can get you expensive hat also speaks for it self. Such clothes are expensive even today. By the state of the hat you can say it's the only one that man has. More likely it got the stains in a long period of time, than at once, because one cares fir his only hat. These are not the complicated modern times after all, things were different in some ways back then. Lots of people used to live exactly the same way. Plus ... he was right in the story, so it's true. :D

To me Brett is the one and only Sherlock Holmes just as David Suche is the one and only Hercules Poirot.
rainmaker1224 Yes.
I agree with you completely!!
He is the classic, yes. Terrific. I've watched his series many many times, with great appreciation. Basil Rathbone is a very close second, unfortunately the way they portrayed Watson in those films, as an annoying self-absorbed bumbler, took away from it.
just as the only Captain Kirk is William Shatner.
The best Holmes ever. Simple .
Elementary, my dear Watson...
Jonny E Miller was a lot better in his more advanced character
And damn good Watson too!
I AGREE
The Soviet rendition is my favourite. I grew up on it
"How do you deduce that the man is an intellectual?"
"Big hed lol."
you prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf during the lockdown =)
@Kayden Jase definitely, have been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :D
Par for the time, really.
Languidly graceful and eternally Jeremy... so beautiful...
There is only one
JB, who's speaking style no one can imitate even from Hollywood
I love his deduction monologues, but I just can't get past the squished ear at 3:45 without a giggle
he is so beautiful
It’s his mind elementary my dear Watson lol
Absolutely awesome fantastic great unique amazing fabulous wonderful talented gifted artist genius a legend
The one person who disliked this was Moriarty.
😂👏🏽👏🏽
Ja
lel
The other is Moran.
Twice the devious fiend !
Brett's enjoyable to watch, one of a few that commands the lens.
@SneverusSnapers not to mention the ridculously good looks and the dreamy voice!! :)
My favorite scene from the blue carbuncle
Essa voz dele... Meu Deus!!!! 😜😍😍😍😍
David Burke was actually a pretty good Dr. Watson.
I must admit I preferred Burke over Hardwicke in the role.

Holmes would've been great at making film analysis videos for youtube, they'd probably be five hours long -_-
Every detail analysis

No, Holmes would be brief and succinct. He's too smart to ramble on for 5 hours doing laborious plot summaries and pointing out the obvious.
This is one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes scenes. I can even remember and quote it word for word.

Take that out of context.

The candle wax was from the staircase up to his bedroom - no one kept a gas light burning over their stairs or upper landings. If so, Holmes got _everything_ wrong.
Why would he be wearing his hat on the way up to his room?
So lovely :)
His force is so deep
"His force..."?
@@myoldchannel0 You know. His deep force. In his trousers.
Check and mate, Watson, check and mate.
Jeremy Brett is Sherlock Holmes. No other need apply.
I would say, dear Holmes, the blue whale's brain is four times bigger than a human brain. Does that mean that the whale is a great intellectual?

@SneverusSnapers dont we all ;)
Jeremy Brett acting like George C Scott while playing Sherlock Holmes 🕵️♂️
YUP!
Did Holmes ever travel to India?
no, but to Tibet
All of his deductions are ridiculous.
How?
