My Life is My Own... And the Future is Up to US! — "Enola Holmes"

Most people watched Enola Holmes because of Sherlock Holmes, but in my case, I became interested in watching Sherlock Holmes after watching Enola Holmes. "Enola" when spelled backwards is "alone", but she was never lonely!

It's a very interesting film in which people can learn a lot from. Let's talk about this amusing movie.

Enola is the youngest among three siblings. She was still very young when her father died, so she couldn't remember anything about him. His brothers also eventually left home trying to find their own path in life, so she was left with her mother.

Enola didn't go to school, but she's taught by her mother. She wasn't taught to be like all the other ladies around her, instead, she was taught how to watch and listen; she was taught how to fight.

On the day of her 16th birthday, her mother went MIA... but because of this, she was reunited with her two brothers. Mycroft, their eldest was disappointed with what she had become... and Sherlock was kind of indifferent at first. She was forced to become someone she doesn't want to be... but then she remembered what her mom told her, "There are two paths you can take --- yours or the path others chose for you." Obviously, she chose the former and that's where her life in the real world began. :)

Let's take a glimpse of the movie through this trailer below.

What I find very interesting in the film is that she talks to the viewers. There aren't a lot of films like this, but it was so fun every time she does that. I imagine a manga or an anime character breaking the fourth wall. I always find it hilarious. <3

Also, I must mention, there's this "useless boy" she met. His name is so difficult to pronounce and it's too long to say or write, so nevermind, but he's also a very interesting character. :)

This movie taught me a lot of things. There were a lot of motivational quotes from the movie as well. Let me share some below.

IT’S ALWAYS THERE, THE TRUTH. YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK FOR IT. — SHERLOCK HOLMES

I just find this one amusing because it totally makes sense. The truth has always been there, but we need to look for it. Sometimes, people tend to find it but refused to accept it because the truth sometimes hurts more that we expect it.

SOMETIMES YOU MUST DANGLE YOUR FEET IN THE WATER IN ORDER TO ATTRACT THE SHARKS. — SHERLOCK HOLMES

True enough! In life, we have to take risks. If we don't we become stagnant and devoid ourselves from opportunities. Life won't always be about luck alone, it's when our preparation meets opportunity. :)

I truly enjoyed the movie and I would love to watch it again. Another thing is that, I love Millie Bobby Brown!!! I love her as Eleven from Stranger Things... and now as Enola Holmes! She's super lovely and a fantastic actress! <3 I hope you check out the movie, too!

Have a great one! (^_^)/
