      Faith and science, who is the angel and who is the devil?



      When Ewan McGregor speaks mellow British English, corsets in black, bat sleeves dance with graceful steps, impassioned speeches are sacred, this kind soul is so holy and fresh,

      when Ewan McGregor holds the momentum The gushing energy that is about to be released, the single person, Ling Ran with the helicopter rising up, kissing his thumb with incomparable piety, the child of God bursting out with dazzling and magical energy,

      Appetite hung up

      (1) Foreign movie stars I like: Tom Hanks; Nicklas Cage; Morgan Freeman; Al Pacino; Jean Reno
      (2) Tom Hanks is a little old in this film I'm 53 years old, but it's still very good to be like this - this is one of my goals in life
      (3) It is estimated that the entourage is also a member of the Illuminati
      (4) Mystery always arouses curiosity
      (5) It is estimated that 4 cardinals have won Hang 3
      (6) people who I admire very much who can speak shamelessly and make you have no...

      We all learned to watch suspense

      I took a cursory look at other people's movie reviews. If I, who have not read the book, commented on the movie directly, although it would be superficial and naive, it really represented the feelings of the movie-watchers, not something that could be compared, and then gorgeous. Criticize how bad the movie is.
        As someone who doesn't know what the book says at all, the clues of the movie are still relatively clear and clear. The scene is also shocking from a certain angle. I just don't...

      antagonism eased

      Angels and Demons (2010-2-15 Monday Yangyang, 4 years, 8 months, 28 days, 1 year, 2 months, 6 days)
        was a warm recommendation from several teenagers. A group of adults gathered around the TV and watched it. From the Year of the Tiger The first day of the new year sees one o'clock in the morning on the second day of the new year.
        At first the kids described it as a horror movie, so I prepared throw pillows and fully armed, and sure enough, at the beginning, I saw murder and...

      spoilers there

      Dan Brown's book is still quite tense to read, but the film is shot without rhythm, the first three cases are like idiots, but also thanks to this failure, finally saving a person and the strangeness at the end The new dome picture formed by the celestial phenomena really moved me.

      The architecture of Rome is amazing, so many sculptures and ruins, ah! (But I am concerned about the fact that the chapel of St. Peter's Church was smashed in the movie...

      The end of the film is...

      good. Ivan's performance is still very restrained. But the delicate expression of the story related to the Holy See is not enough. The original text of the battle of beliefs is also vague. It's just a pretext for creating conflict. Why didn't the killer kill the hero and heroine, so much nonsense. Who would believe the electoral officer if he didn't have a...

    Movie plot

    The plot of the film takes place before the plot of "The Da Vinci Code". The starting point of this story is not Robert Langdon’s lecture hall, nor the magnificent Louvre, but the European Institute of Nuclear Research, which brings together the cutting-edge technology of mankind. In a quiet afternoon, in this unremarkable building, divine power and science have been combined across the ages! Scientist Leonardo Witler and his adopted...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Preparations for the film began in 2007, but at that time it was a strike by Hollywood screenwriters, and the screenwriter Aziva Gosman also participated in the strike. As a result, the half-written script had to be stopped halfway, and the film's start time was therefore put off.
    The St. Peter’s Square that appears in the film is a scene completely constructed by the crew, because the Vatican Church does not allow the film crew to...

    Shooting process

    The crew originally planned to shoot some shots in Rome, then returned to the studio in London to continue shooting, rebuilding some scenes in Rome and the Vatican City in the studio. This method was used in the previous filming of "The Da Vinci Code". However, when filming "Angels and Demons", due to the impact of the screenwriter's strike and the depreciation of the dollar, Sony asked the crew to return to Los Angeles to film. Alan...

    Evaluation action

    "Angels and Demons" is recognized as the most suitable work for the screen in Dan Brown's novels. The movie version maintains the model of "Christian Wild History + European Landscape Tour + Uncle with Little Beauty + Extreme Sect Murderer". Although the film’s scenes are beautiful and the plot is unique, the over-interpretation of Dan Brown’s novels makes the audience uninterested in the film. And Professor Langdon's behavioral...

    • Inspector Olivetti: [on hearing Langdon's description of Pius IX's "Great Castration" of Vatican City's male statues] Are you... anti-Catholic, Professor Langdon?
