The secret of the pyramid (Young Sherlock Holmes, 1985) was directed by Barry levinson using a script specially made by Chris Columbus. Some years later Columbus directed two Harry Potter films (the philosopher's stone and the secret chamber), the famous wizard boy, who has many points in common with this film.
The review of The Secret of the Pyramid, a movie that they usually put on television although it is very easy to get, has been conditioned by the reading of Sergio Benítez's article in the Cinema Blog in which he explains many details of the film and especially Reflects on the soundtrack of the film, made in the 80s, a time when the production was taken care of in great detail. I have also read that the film covered expenses for a little which prevented a second part or in general a series like Harry Potter did. Behind this film, with stories of friendship, adolescent love, evil, mystery and stories of Egypt, is Steven Spielberg as executive producer and a young John Lasseter who was then working in ILM (Industrial Light and Magic) from which Pixar would leave and that I would finally buy Disney. John Lasseter was the knight cheerleader who jumps out of the stained glass window and walks down the church hall stalking the reverend with a fierce face and a great sword.
If this morning we talked about the follies and imagination of The Adventures of the Baron of Münchhausen this afternoon we have to talk about scientific and rational method of Sherlock Holmes adorned with great adventures that look great in the cinema as a flying artifact reminiscent of the inventions of Leonardo da Vinci As you can see in the picture.
The movie stars Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, very young because they are of school age, accompanied by the young Elisabeth which is the protagonist in addition to the most tense moments of the film because of the mess he gets into and that have to do with maintaining a little terrifying Egyptian customs. In addition, this protagonist trio also remembers the formula followed by Harry Potter with Harry himself, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.
And, for those who want to search and find matches between Harry Potter Y The secret of the pyramid (Young Sherlock Holmes) I recommend reviewing this blog, with a single article, which draws many connections between both products. It seems to me that Chris was ahead of his time and that although the idea was clear he could not convince anyone that this would be a success series. So when enough time passed, he started to build a product of enormous repercussion in which JK Rowling was going to have a great role and in which he, in addition, secured the direction of a couple of films as we have commented, probably the Brighter and surprising.
In any case the film of The Secret of the Pyramid (Young Sherlock Holmes) It is full of adventures, attractions, serious actors, great script, a great bad and especially an ending that extends far beyond the credit titles and presents the most powerful rival that Sherlock will face when he grows up. Although that will be part of another article when we talk about the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
