Millie Bobby Brown breaks down over ‘uncomfortable’ fan encounter

“I’m making this video to say you have to show more respect for others, no matter who they are, what they do,” she said. “Show respect, human being to human being.”

Brown later wrote on Instagram that she was “totally fine now. But was emotional in the moment because I felt uncomfortable and disrespected.”

More fame means more idiots will bother her.

We don’t live in a civilized world anymore. Why ask if you won’t take no as answer?

Enola Holmes Loses Out On Title Of Netflix’s Biggest Movie Of 2020

The Netflix Top 10 most-watched list is by no means a barometer of quality, a notion that’s been cemented beyond all doubt by the performance of controversial Polish thriller 365 Days. It was reported back in October that the critically panned movie was on course to become the streaming service’s biggest title of the year, and with just a few days left of 2020, the steamy film with a 0% score on Rotten Tomatoes has indeed held onto the number one spot.

Three months ago: Close to one hundred thousand people have backed the petition for Netflix to remove steamy Polish thriller 365 Days from the content library, but the latest data has only reinforced the controversial movie’s popularity. It may hold a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but it dominated the streaming service’s most-watched list for weeks and now that the numbers have been crunched, it can be named as the platform’s biggest hit of 2020 so far.

Subscribers around the globe clearly couldn’t resist discovering what all the fuss was about, and they would have no doubt been left disappointed by the end result. However, 365 Days spent more time in the Top 10 than any other movie over the last twelve months. Even the record-breaking Enola Holmes, which many predicted would end the year on top, couldn’t dislodge it, with Millie Bobby Brown’s mystery caper having to settle for second place.

As you can see, the vast majority of these movies are Netflix originals, which vindicates the company’s decision over the last few years to focus almost exclusively on in-house content, presumably safe in the knowledge that the streaming wars were about to heat up and they’ve got a place at the head of the table to maintain.

Netflix Settles 'Enola Holmes' Lawsuit With Conan Doyle Estate

Is a more emotional Sherlock Holmes protected by copyright? Although that's dubious, the mystery remains technically unsolved as Netflix, Legendary Pictures and others associated with Enola Holmes have come to a settlement with the Conan Doyle Estate. On Friday [12/18/2020], the parties stipulated to dismissal of a lawsuit in New Mexico federal court.

Bird Box and Murder Mystery (Stranger Things S03 and The Umbrella Academy S01) were released before NX’s 2-m view rule. For example, in NX’s 2018 Q4 report, it estimated that Bird Box would be enjoyed by over 80 mil households. That meant that over 80 mil households would watch 70% of Bird Box. So should I assume that like 9 mil extra households watched only 2-m of it?

Catholic Radio Host Says Enola Holmes Is “The Most Evil Movie To Ever Be Made”

Despite the film receiving praise for its acting, casting, story, and its suitability for most age groups, Catholic Answers Live host Cy Kellett has revealed that he is not a fan of the film. During a January episode of his show, Kellett explained that he believes Enola Holmes to be “the most evil movie” of not only 2020, but all time.

Kellett discussed the movie with his co-host, Marie Bates, and they agree it is “extremely well-made” and “very glamorous.” Said Bates, “It’s beautifully shot. The colors are amazing in it. The costumes are amazing. When they go from scene to scene, they have all of these very Sherlock Holmes-feeling transitions and everything. It’s really a fun movie.”

However, Kellett pushed back against his co-host’s assertion and stated that Enola Holmes’ allure is “part of its evilness.” He explained that, Catholics whether converted or born into the faith,  “At Easter, when we do our rejection of evil, we reject the glamor of evil, and that’s what this [is].”

Though he offered compliments to the cast – especially stars Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and Helena Bonham Carter – and admitted that he liked the film’s pacing, Kellett noted that he was taken aback by the film’s view of women and womanhood, especially as it was being conveyed to young girls. “But here’s my problem with it,” Kellett stated. “As I watched it, it is the sickest view of women I have ever seen portrayed on film, portrayed in a way that is meant, intentionally meant, to attract young girls.”

Bates added that she realized the movie has an agenda, which both she and Kellett describe as a “a brutal form of feminism,” as “the heroine is a heroine in part because she abandons her daughter.”

“This is part of the attraction of her is that she’s on a more noble quest than being a mother,” Kellett said of Helena Bonham Carter’s Eudoria Holmes. “And that everything about this movie is designed to actually denigrate motherhood and any kind of traditional kind of femininity.”

He continued, “The idea that the feminine is different than the masculine is utterly attacked. And I mean attacked. It’s intentional. The background of the movie, behind everything, all the action, is the suffragette movement.”

Kellett and Bates acknowledge the historical importance of the narrative’s main struggle but disapproved of the “horrible means” Enola’s mother and her secret group employ in service of the plot. “She’s kind of the hero that you don’t see in the movie. She’s like the MacGuffin,” said Kellett of the implication the mother is a terrorist. “She’s the missing mother, and she’s apparently willing to blow people up to get the vote. She’s clearly willing to be violent and to abandon her daughter.”

He added, “And she just teaches her daughter horrible things. And all this is presented to us as good,” with Bates chiming in that this message is what will draw people into the film, though it presents, in Kellett’s words, “a twisted view of what men and women are and how men and women relate to one another.”

Bates then confessed that she took issue with a separate view the film holds related to both sides of women’s suffrage, saying it failed in representing them even-handedly or as stable. “So on both sides of this issue, we have psycho women who are willing to sacrifice their children and grandchildren for what they believe to be the most important cause,” she explained. “when you throw like the dignity of life out the window and you say, ‘I’m going to sacrifice my kid for this, I’m going to, for the good of all.’ Well, sorry. You just sacrificed your kid. Now they don’t have this future.”

On the other side is Enola’s supposed love interest, Tewkesbury (Louis Partridge), whom the hosts classify as “very feminine,” noting that “the [gender] roles are reversed” as he “needs rescuing constantly.” Mostly, this rescue is need from his grandmother, The Dowager (Frances de la Tour), who is trying to keep the boy from voting for suffrage in the House of Lords.

What makes her evil in the eyes of the movie, Kellett clarified, is how “she’s a traditionalist. She believes in traditions.” He added, “Anyone who believes in anything traditional, anyone who has a modicum of old fashioned-ness about them is evil in this movie, especially the grandma, who’s willing to murder her grandson.”

Circling back back to Enola’s avant-garde education and abandonment by her mother, […] said Bates. “She’s being taught all of this stuff. And yet, her mom abandons her when she’s still a kid.”

Kellett then dovetails the conversation, pointing out how Enola is brought up and educated in an isolated manor with few around besides a servant. “Like, this is a good education, to hide you from the world, in this secret education, where I give you all this resentment towards other people-” Kellett said, with Bates adding that it felt as if Enola had been raised to be an assassin.

Bates also turns to the way the film portrays Enola and Sherlock’s less-famous brother Mycroft (Sam Claflin) who advocates a normal Victorian upbringing for his sister. “Like, what do you want for your daughter? Do you want her to be able to vote? Or do you want her to be able to attack people?” Bates wondered. “And then like on the flip side of that, her brother, Mycroft, is seen as this horrible person, because he wants her to go to school with other girls.”

[...] Kellett and Bates determined Enola is “educated to be antisocial”, despite it being blithely depicted as a positive. [...] Meanwhile, Kellett took issue with how the adult women are cast as evil for educating girls properly.

His “fundamental problem” with the picture is that it’s a piece of propaganda which aims to prey on children’s impressionability in order to attack “girlhood,” womanhood, tradition, community, and the value of motherhood. “Like your real womanhood is rooted in being suspicious of everybody else’s motives and doing whatever the hell you want to do,” Kellett said. “That’s what real womanhood is [to the filmmakers].”

“Part of the reason why this movie struck me is there’s not a single example of any tradition, whether it’s Mycroft, or the mother, or the headmistress at the school, or the grandma,” he continued. “Nobody who’s a traditional person…is good. They’re all…secretly evil,” while people like the mother, “no matter how cruel,” are seen as good.

Kellett further added, “And all of it is sold because little girls love romance. And there’s a little Prince Charming in this for the little princess in the movie, and he’s very feminine and he’s…kind of harmless and safe.”

“To me, it’s poison for little girls,” he said. “You’re going to take what is normal, our romantic attractions to one another and our desire for one another, and you’re going to use that as the tool to say, ‘Don’t trust anybody, be isolated, be a nasty little piece of work. And that’s what makes you a true woman’.”

“And I think this fierceness of among girls, this is all the rage now is this, and it has been for about 20 years,” he said. “And everyone thinks they’re … all of these innovators in Hollywood selling a new thing. I’m sorry, it’s not new. It’s not brave. It’s the same old trash you’ve been selling, and it hurts girls. They end up brokenhearted and hurt.”

Kellet would add, “The abandonment of the child is presented as a heroic act in this movie, and the child is not fully actualized until they accept that their mother abandoning them was a heroic thing. And they have to be a person like that. They have to be this kind of person.”

Bates found the “fierceness” the movie to be shallow and “something that it’s not,” adding that women can be strong without mimicking men.

“And the truth is that women were incredibly strong before they started selling this,” she said. “Women have given childbirth for all of human civilization. Women have done amazing things for all of time. They’re incredibly strong. We don’t need to make them men to make them appear strong.”

Bates also speaks to how marriage, like feminity, is similarly portrayed as something undesirable, lamenting, “I think that it’s such a shame that a huge focus of the movie and what they make sound evil is that they’re preparing her for marriage.”

Bates added a little later none of the beauty, altruism, or change brought on by marriage is talked about, to which Kellett replied, “No, there is no heroism in marriage in this,” nor in the notion of being “married and stay married,” nor in serving one’s children.

Bates then reacted to how instead of marrying Tewkesbury, Enola instead leaves him with the parting words, “I’ll let you know when I’m going to see you next.”

Due to these films, Kellett opined, young people in their twenties who don’t want marriage are unsatisfied and anxious they haven’t, in a sense instead, become an unbeatable superhero with mad judo skills. “And you end up with a generation of young women who are batty with anxiety, just terrorized with anxiety,” Kellett said.

The best thing Keleltt and Bates could say about Enola Holmes is it’s a missed opportunity to create a new female detective who “can partake in a mystery and not be this character.”

Perhaps that’s true, but Enola Holmes is relatively tame compared to everything else put out in 2020, especially in light of the recent Hollywood trend towards wokeness and worsening debauchery.

Catholics, huh?

I don’t remember Enola that good. I only paid attention once and that was in Sept. 2020. Since then, I’ve played it countless times, but I only look at the screen when I hear HC’s voice. Weird way to watch a film.

A.N.Y.W.A.Y., I’m pretty sure those Catholics are exaggerating. But I’ll watch Enola attentively next time to see how much they’re exaggerating. But believe me, you can’t trust the opinion of a devoted Catholic when the film is about a girl who doesn’t do girly stuff and refuses to blindly follow traditions.

All Main Characters From Enola Holmes Reportedly Returning For Sequel

Brown and director Harry Bradbeer have already said that they want to make at least five sequels to adapt the entire book series, and we’ve now heard from our sources – the same ones who told us Netflix were developing an Extraction sequel and a Witcher prequel well before they were announced – that all of the main cast members are set to return for the next Enola Holmes outing.

While the major players returning for the follow-up is hardly a groundbreaking development, it’s nice to get confirmation and hints at much larger roles in the story for Henry Cavill’s Sherlock and Helena Bonham Carter’s Eudoria, both of whom existed on the fringes of the plot first time around, but were still pivotal characters that audiences very much embraced.

Sam Claflin Dishes On Working With 'Genetic Beast' Henry Cavill - Exclusive

In an exclusive interview with Looper to talk about his latest role in the psychological thriller Every Breath You Take, Claflin said he wasn't surprised by the idea to cast him alongside Cavill. "Strangely, it wasn't the first time I'd heard about the fact that we looked alike," Claflin revealed to Looper. "I think that there's been a few times where we've not crossed parts in real life, but lived parallel. We have auditioned for similar roles years and years and years ago. I think there was always a comparison that was drawn."

Of course, there's also a burden that comes with that comparison — especially when the other guy happens to embody the Man of Steel. "He's definitely got the looks," Claflin enthused. "Let's be honest. The guy's a genetic beast. I'm in love with Henry Cavill. He's a very charismatic, very charming man. To be acting alongside him was a joy."

"I hope we have the opportunity of exploring that series further, and having Millie Bobby Brown as a younger sister. I was the ugly duckling in the family, let's be honest," Claflin told Looper, humbly. "But no, it was a really, really enjoyable experience. I honestly had a lot more fun than I initially thought. It was one of those that crept up on me, took me by surprise. I had so much fun. I can only hope that we get the chance to do it again."

‘Enola Holmes 2’ Reportedly In Development at Netflix, Brown & Cavill to Return

An Enola Holmes sequel is reportedly now in development at Netflix as we’ve seen documentation that suggests Enola Holmes 2 is happening and will see Henry Cavill and Millie Bobby Brown return to their respective roles.

Details are very light on a sequel right now but we’re told they were actively casting new members as of February 2021. Legacy Entertainment returns the production company behind the sequel.

The listing we’ve seen doesn’t mention the return of Sam Claflin but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of his return. Millie Bobby Brown who is working on a number of high-profile Netflix projects was listed as was Henry Cavill who just wrapped up filming on The Witcher season 2.

What happened with the Enola Holmes lawsuit?

Those concerns were ruled on back in December 2020 that saw the lawsuit dismissed with prejudice.

“The Doyle estate was upset about the film. To put things more accurately, it was upset that the film’s producers didn’t secure a license to incorporate aspects of Holmes’ personality that the estate contended first appeared in stories that were still protected by copyright law.”

What to expect from Enola Holmes 2

For the most part, we can look towards the other books in the series for reference on where we head next. The first movie largely adapted The Case of the Missing Marquess and we suspect they’ll move onto the later books including The Case of the Left-Handed Lady or The Case of the Bizarre Bouquets.

In the Case of the Left-Handed Lady, Enola seeks to find Lady Cecily Allistair whereas the other book sees Enola teaming up with Sherlock to find the missing Dr. John Watson.
