Well done and creepy and an April Fool's joke (I suppose).

This was the device used in the movie "A Beautiful Mind".  His friends - especially his gregarious, outgoing college roommate - all appear real to him, and also to us the audience.  Then we discover these people are all the product of his schizophrenic mind.  It  quite blew me away when I saw the movie.

And I said "dangerous" and here you are.

You. It's always you. John Watson, you keep me right.

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

But I don't see this with Sherlock, at all.

No. But the video was "nice".

Oh yeah! I've seen the movie twice but totally didn't make the connection. Blew me away as well.

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

Yes, for me it's one of the rare moments in film when you are totally swept off your feet by surprise. And it was so incredibly well done that I had no idea although my husband suspected something. It was a bit like "Sixth Sense" when you realise what Bruce Willis has become. But I wouldn't like this for Sherlock although the video's original.

And thankfully it isn't going to happen for Sherlock.

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

Very clever video. Well done! Why do i think this person was a fan of St. Elsewhere? Autistic snowglobes anyone ?

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

The girl who made this is German and very talented in making fanvideos. I've subscribed to her on Youtube for like forever. 

I've always liked this idea - I actually think it could totally work. Very sad, though. But think about it... Sherlock is so brilliant and weird it's hard to believe he really exists. 
This would make an amazing movie...

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

Tho not canonical.

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

I'm a bit confused. He doesn't REALLY exist. He is a fictional character.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't make people into heroes John. Heroes don't exist and if they did I wouldn't be one of them.

Re: What if Sherlock was never real?

Yeah, I mean... not real in the fictional world. :D
Of course it's not canonical, but a very interesting concept. As well as the idea that Sherlock just made up all his cases (and Moriarty) to make himself important.
