Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 590: Shocking Conspiracy (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Everyone)

When Diana initially invited Kate to the premiere of Sherlock Holmes, Kate declined.

After all, she had until now suspected that the film's director, Charlotte Booth, was involved in a series of unsolved crimes and had been investigating him.

As a result, as soon as a new movie is released, I will be the first to support it. What the hell is going on! ?

What's more, Diana has to go to the premiere with her boyfriend, and there will probably be "activities" after watching the movie. In this case, Kate doesn't think she is suitable to be a light bulb.

However, as an FBI agent who really likes movies, Kate also knows that the quality of commercial blockbusters shot by Charlotte Booth can indeed be said to be the best in Hollywood in recent years.

Especially, this is a movie about Sherlock Holmes, the originator of detectives...

In the end, Miss Kate, a movie fan, defeated federal agent Kate Todd. She secretly attended the premiere of "Sherlock Holmes" behind Diana's back.

——As for the reason for carrying Diana on his back, it was not because of any embarrassment, it was simply because Kate didn’t want to eat the other person’s dog food.

After all, Tony DiNozzo, whom Kate prefers and has been pursuing, has been busy working on NCIS on the East Coast recently.

——Tony’s boss Gibbs seems to have taken the initiative to retire due to conflicts with NCIS senior management.

Tony was put on the shelf and temporarily took charge of Gibbs' work.

This naturally kept him very busy.

However, Kate is also relatively familiar with Agent Gibbs, the alpha wolf of NCIS.

She believed that this old man would eventually be unable to bear the torment of his inner sense of justice. As long as there was any trouble on Tony's side, Gibbs would definitely be called back.

"So, Tony's busyness is only temporary!"

Kate comforted herself like this.

However, she then thought, if Gibbs returned, wouldn't it mean that Tony's chance of promotion would be ruined!

——So, Kate is also very conflicted in her heart.

**********

Fortunately, the movie "Sherlock Holmes" did not make Kate conflicted.

The film maintains Charlotte Booth's usual high quality, and even improves on it.

——At least, as far as Kate knows, this movie is the one with the most plot twists and the fastest changes in pace among the movies shot by Charlotte Booth.

If it were an ordinary director, Kate felt that the film would definitely make her dizzy. If she didn't pay attention, she might not be able to keep up with the development of the plot.

But under the baton of Charlotte Booth, the narrative of "Sherlock Holmes" is very clear.

Although Kate still felt that the pace was fast, she could follow the plot without much effort. Even the most difficult reasoning elements in ordinary detective movies were easy to understand.

However, after understanding it, she did not feel that the reasoning was too simple. Instead, she always felt like she had a sudden enlightenment.

——This is really not simple!

Kate didn't know how Charlotte Booth did it, but she instinctively felt that the other party was really powerful.

In particular, the opponent used special lenses and editing methods several times to express Holmes' reasoning, which amazed Kate even more——

In those shots, Kate felt as if she had been put into Sherlock Holmes's perspective, quickly solving puzzles in Sherlock Holmes's way.

——This unique sense of substitution and achievement simply gives people a feeling of spiritual high.

Especially, Kate is still an FBI agent...

*********

Kate was already fully immersed in the movie when she saw Holmes sort out the clues of the case through the "Memory Palace" method and deduced that Black Wood's next target would be the British Parliament.

Next, Holmes cooperated with Officer Lestrade to deceive the specific location of Black Wood's next crime from the Scotland Yard executives who had taken refuge with Earl Black Wood.

The final battle between good and evil has finally begun——

With the help of Watson and Irene Adler, who briefly bandaged the wound and came to help again, Holmes promptly prevented Earl Blackwood from killing the opponents in Congress and taking the opportunity to control Britain.

However, it turns out that Earl Blackwood asked the dwarf Luke Reardon who was killed by him to invent a remotely controlled machine to release highly toxic cyanide gas through this machine in the sewers under the Parliament.

As long as the poison gas is successfully released into the Congress, except for the men who were deceived by Earl Blackwood into drinking the antidote in advance in the name of black magic rituals, other members of Congress will die.

In this way, Earl Blackwood could not only control the British Parliament in one fell swoop, but also take the opportunity to further expand his reputation as a black magic magnate.

Then, he can use people's fear of him to rule Britain...

"Okay, this conspiracy makes perfect sense."

Seeing this, Kate admired and felt a strange sense of accomplishment in her heart.

She probably knows why—

Whether it is radio remote control or highly toxic cyanide, they are all familiar to modern people, especially FBI like Kate.

And this kind of thing, at the end of the 19th century in the movie, became the key to Earl Blackwood's conspiracy to control Britain.

——Seeing this situation, as modern people, we will unconsciously stand on the shoulders of history and look down on our predecessors, and sometimes we will have a unique sense of accomplishment.

"It's like seeing the wheels of history!"

Kate murmured to herself,

"This is probably how those who travel through time feel!"

The FBI agent couldn't help but think of Mark Twain's book "The Connecticut Yankee in the King of Arthur" that she read as a child.

——Although Mark Twain’s original intention of writing this book was still to satirize reality, Kate had to admit that she did have a refreshing feeling when she saw the protagonist using modern technology to crush people and things in the feudal era.

Of course, although Kate also liked Mark Twain's articles, the time gap between them was too long, so she didn't have such a strong feeling after all.

On the contrary, a work called "The Stranger" that started to be published in the 1990s was very much to Kate's liking.

In particular, the protagonist of the story of "The Stranger" is still a woman, which naturally gives Kate a stronger sense of involvement——

Married war nurse Claire mysteriously travels back to the Scottish Highlands in 1743 from 1945, where she is forced to marry Jimmy, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior...

——The story of "The Stranger" is simply a woman's choice between two men who love her.

In essence, this is an ordinary female-oriented story, but after being wrapped in the cloak of traveling through time and space, it has a unique charm.

Anyway, Kate is already addicted to it...

**********

Of course, these thoughts are only Kate's momentary thoughts after all. The fierce and eye-catching battle between good and evil at the end of "Sherlock Holmes" does not give Kate a chance to lose her mind at all.

The big screen seems to have a magical power, firmly attracting Kate's eyeballs and attention to it...
