It does some time I had the opportunity to see the movie Sherlock Holmes de Guy Ritchie with Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law in the Watson role.
The peli seemed very entertaining to me and without being a big connoisseur of the brilliant personage created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, I have the impression of which the movie managed to transmit the delight and friendliness that there wakes up Holmes and his adventures. To such a point that I withdrew from myself from the movies waiting for the second prompt part.
Those who have seen it, will be able to understand better what I count next and for those who should not have done it, they should not be afraid that I will try not to reveal anything excellent.
During the movie facts are happening and there appearing tracks that lead Watson to suggesting to Holmes a metaphysical explanation of the case.
In a passage we can see this dialogue:
Watson: – We have to admit, Holmes, that a supernatural explanation in this case, it is theoretically possible.
Holmes: – Yes, I agree. But it commits an error on having done theories without sufficient information. Inevitably, you begin to deform the facts to conciliate them with the theories, instead of modifying the theories so that they adapt themselves to the facts.
This dialogue, since it could not be otherwise, provoked a smile to me at the same time that he made me think the adapted of the answer of Holmes with regard to the alarmists of the climate change:
Masters of the IPCC commit an error on having done theories without sufficient information. Inevitably, you begin to deform the facts to conciliate them with the theories, instead of modifying the theories so that they adapt themselves to the facts.
Fortunately, Doyle supported Holmes far from the fiction (and of the metaphysics) therefore when the movie ended, Clarke's Third Law came to my memory:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable of the magic
And on this matter, I have to quote here a brilliant phrase of the proper Holmes:
“If we eliminate the impossible thing, what stays, for improbable that seems, it has to be true.” (The sign of the four)
Addendum 1: 3 Clarke's laws
Arthur C. Clarke postulated three laws in his books. The third one, previously quoted, is the most well-known. Here I leave the two first ones to them:
The Clarke's first Law:
“When an aged and distinguished scientist affirms that something is possible, probably it is in the correct thing. When he affirms that something is impossible, probably it is wrong.”
The Clarke's second Law:
“The only way of discovering the limits of the possible thing is to risk towards the impossible thing.”
Addendum 2: Sherlock Holmes and Gregory House
House vs. Holmes
Known is for the readership of the blog my taste for another investigator, the acid Dr. Gregory House. The lame personage interpreted instructively by Hugh Laurie is to all lights a big investigator, not of scenes of crimes but of illnesses. The methodology investigativa and deductive they are similar and it is not a coincidence, it seems that the writers of the series House M.D. were inspired by the personage of Conan Doyle, for what the similarities between both do not finish there, let's see:
- Holmes has only one friendly, John Watson.
House has only one friendly, James Wilson.
- Holmes is addicted to the cocaine.
House is addicted to the vicodina.
- Holmes only is interested for his clients solve the cases without mattering for him in the most minimal.
House only is interesting diagnosing the cases and his patients do not matter for him in the most minimal.
- Holmes lacks conscience and uses almost any method to solve his cases.
House lacks conscience and breaks rules to diagnose his patients.
- Holmes likes to touch the violin.
House likes to touch the piano.
- Holmes is irritatingly haughty, arrogant, he is always thinking about having the reason and is bad-tempered.
House also.
- Holmes lives in the department 221B of the street Baker.
House lives in the department 221B!
- Holmes, the personage, was composed by Conan Doyle being based on a doctor.
House ES doctor
- Holmes has an archenemy, the teacher James Moriarty.
House in a chapter receives a shot and although they do not name the attacker, in the qualifications it appears as Jack Moriarty
