Okay, so I wanted to figure out what happened at the end of “Mr. Holmes.” It’s been bugging me for a while. So, I decided to dive in and watch the movie again, this time with a notepad and pen.
First Steps
First, I made some popcorn and got comfortable on the couch. It’s a slow movie, so I knew I needed to be patient. I started watching, paying close attention to the little details this time. You know, the stuff you usually miss when you’re just watching for fun.
Diving Deeper
I began noting down key scenes, especially those towards the end. There’s this whole thing with bees, a Japanese man, and a prickly ash plant. I paused the movie a bunch of times to jot down notes and rewound a few scenes to catch the dialogue better. Man, it’s more complicated than I remembered.
- Noticed how Holmes’s memory is failing him, but he’s still sharp as a tack in some moments.
- Realized the importance of the rock ceremony he performs.
- Started to piece together the story of the Japanese man’s father and the prickly ash.
Putting It All Together
After watching the ending a couple of times, I started to connect the dots. It seems like Holmes was trying to make amends for something he did in the past. The prickly ash plant was a key to unlocking his memories, and the rock ceremony was a way to ask for forgiveness. Or something like that. I scribbled all this down in my notebook, trying to make sense of it all.
Final Thoughts
Finally, I think I got it. The ending is about accepting the past, making peace with your mistakes, and finding a way to move on. It’s pretty deep, actually. I closed my notebook, feeling satisfied. It was a good movie-watching session. I might even write a full review later, but for now, I’m just glad I finally understand that ending.
