The eternal question

Scenery, cities, locations granada Of course, everyone will agree with me if I say that no one will play England better than England itself. The creators perfectly conveyed the spirit of that very Victorian era. Costumes, architecture, mansions, parks, cabs - everything is in place here. neither give nor take. Even the Reichenbach Falls were filmed in Switzerland. Definitely 2 points for you. USSR I want to praise the creators. for the 70s, they perfectly disguised Latvia, Estonia, the Lenfilm studio, St. Petersburg and even the Neva as England, and Abkhazia as Switzerland. The studio was not allowed to film scenes with the Thames in London. then Maslennikov asked the journalist who was there to film the river and bridges. Then the whole thing was glued together and it turned out quite well. Also, due to the fact that the series was low-budget, people voluntarily brought their things, dishes, clothes, etc. to the studio as props. I want to give this 1 point to a domestic film for its efforts and obvious professionalism; after all, creating such a worthy film adaptation of an immortal work for such little money already says a lot. BBC How did it happen that the Soviet Union outplayed Great Britain? London, the scene of most of the action, hasn't changed at all. Costumes... well, they didn’t really bother with 19th century costumes (I’m not talking about the special issue, that’s a separate topic that I won’t touch on). The same goes for cabs, elegant household items and other things. One Sherrinford surprised me, but you can’t go far with it alone. And in general I don’t want to remember him, because... Lots of plot holes. Moffat and Gatiss amaze us in other ways, namely... Effects BBC This is where the creators really came off. Holmes has amazing spatial thinking; he will explain, show, and describe everything in detail. It's hard to describe, it's easier to see for yourself. In addition, there are hints for the audience, for example, in the sketch in pink tones. We are given evidence by which we can determine the identity of the murdered woman. I don’t know about you, but I solved the crime before Sherlock was preparing for the ambush; however, sometimes you get a little tired of these inscriptions. But this is rather subjective, depending on who you choose. Plus... not everyone is lucky that all the inscriptions are translated! I didn’t let go of the translator, I was ready! But these are my problems and in no case should they take away 2 points from Moffat and Gatiss. USSR Here, of course, there are much fewer effects (it’s still worth taking time and possibilities into account), but this does not mean that there are none at all. Ours found a way out and delighted the audience with entertaining opening credits. These were the only credits in my life that I didn’t want to rewind! And everything is made from scrap materials - a perfume bottle, stencils, brushes, invisible ink (they are also easy to obtain), etc. Points for imagination. Granada I understand, strictly original. But here, in my opinion, everything depends on the imagination of the director and production designer. This is how they got out of it in the Soviet Union. Although there was one moment in the dancing men - a dream of a client (I don’t remember his name). That means something could be worked out. Besides... from the first to the fourth season there is the same screensaver. This is not such a big minus, but something could also be invented. Result: USSR 5+1+1=7 points Granada 2+2+0=4 points bbc 2+0+2=4 points
