Sherlock Holmes (2009) dir. Guy Ritchie

Which adaptation of Sherlock Holmes is the most queer?

*not including House M.D. because it's not really an adaptation, or any overtly queer pastiches like My Dearest Holmes or The Adventure of the Furtive Festivity because that's not really a fair contest

Interviewer: You had a bit of a bromance going on there.

Jude Law: What is this new term everyone's using?

Interviewer: Bromance?

Jude Law: It's a horrible term. What about just a romance?

Interviewer: No, it's not the same.

Jude Law: Why not? Why?

Interviewer: Because then you'd have to star in a romantic comedy together or something.

Jude Law: We just have. Have you not seen it?

Thinking about them lately... ☕🍂 (One more day begging for Sherlock Holmes 3)

[thymelessink]

I'm nearly the last person to argue that RDJ!Holmes is a very faithful adaption (even though it's still more faithful than BBC and I won't argue on that either) but no other adaption was ever closer to portraying this sentence:

"I'm lost without my Boswell."

It's made very clear that Holmes is desperate to live with Watson and that he might go mad without him. We see a lot of Watsons depending on Holmes but not many Holmes depending on Watsons.

The adaption was also very good in showing the pain of Reichenbach Falls (even if only for a few seconds).

That scene really hurt. Especially after Moriarty reminds Holmes that he will find a painful end for Watson.

It's these two things that make this adaption still fairly dear to me, even if it lacks in many other regards. An adapation does a lot of things right as long as the relationship between Holmes and Watson is depicted as deep and loving.

Y'know what? RDJ did do it better. No hate for the BBC Sherlock, but you gotta appreciate the Guy Ritchie films.
