Similar to the previous suspense decryption films such as The Da Vinci Code, this time the puzzle is hidden in a bunch of rhetoric from Dante's "Divine Comedy" and a painting of Dante's hell by Renaissance painters. There is an extremist, a self-proclaimed savior, who wants to quickly solve the problem of human growth exceeding the ability of the earth to handle, that is, the genius of using a virus to wipe out half of the population.
However, if according to what the genius who committed suicide as soon as he appeared on the stage said, now is the last minute of the earth, then even if half of the population is wiped out, it will only be one more minute, so how can we solve the problem.
If you don’t delve into it, the film looks good. It can be regarded as a tour of the European Renaissance art, the display of multiple church museums in Florence, Italy, the scenery of Venice, the style of Istanbul, Turkey, and a general visualization of Dante’s hell map. The scene, with a strong European style, is accompanied by the explanation of many stories at that time, such as the story of the old and wise governor of Venice, which is also mentioned in "Haidu Story", which involves the Fourth Crusade. History and Sin.
