I’ve seen a few films with German dubbing (LoTR, Brother Cadfael series, 13th Warrior); quite impressive at the quality. Yes, Livanov ‘s voice is unique and hard to imitate, still it would be a nice training aid for me. Watson’s disguise serves for the comical part of the film, as the whole series is a comedy. And at the same time it’s sad because shows how desperate Watson feels. He tries to protect Adar by all means, but pretence is not his strongest side. Indeed, one must possess a talent to perform in disguise; Watson doesn’t possess it. He tries hard to fulfill his friend’s last will and these attempts to act like Holmes only put an emphasis on how lost he is; his final failure only saddens the situation. In my eyes.
