This time, Professor Langdon was in the center of the storm as soon as he appeared on the scene. He was apparently injured and comatose and woke up in the ward, but he couldn't remember why he came to Florence, Italy from Harvard University. Professor Langdon, who had just woken up, was pursued by a police-like killer and a World Health Organization officer, and had to escape from the hospital with Sienna, a beautiful female doctor. At Sienna's house, Langdon discovers that he has a micro-projector on his body, which can only be turned on with his fingerprints, and which holds a "map of hell" created by Botticelli based on Dante's Divine Comedy. From this painting, he discovers Zobrist, who advocates terror to solve the crisis of human population expansion, and learns that he has created a dangerous virus stored somewhere in an attempt to wipe out half the world's population. The World Health Organization and Zobrist's comrades, as well as some evil forces that don't use faith, want to use Langdon to find the virus.
As a result, Langdon, Sienna and their pursuers ran all the way, from Florence to Venice to Istanbul, taking the movie audience to appreciate the charming scenery and the charm of European classical art. That's the beauty of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons. "Dante's Code" repeats the old tricks. Although there is a taste of aesthetic fatigue, the esoteric Italian classical culture and the beauty of the scenery are still worth seeing.
Unlike the religious themes of The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, the Dante Code this time presents the theme of attacking terrorism in the guise of saving humanity. Terrorism is not all evil-faced demons. Among them, there are also "saviors" who appear under the banner of "science". Such characters are more demagogic and harmful. At the end of the film, the conversation between Professor Langdon and Sienna is thought-provoking. Human society has indeed encountered numerous dilemmas and crises, and how to solve these puzzles and crises tests the wisdom of human beings. Humans can never kill in the name of love.
Sienna: Yes, a lot of people will die, but the crisis is averted, that's what nature intended. The problem of the population crisis is no longer only relieved, but solved once and for all.
Langdon: It's the logic of tyrants to save people by ruining them.
Sienna: Humans for a higher purpose -
Langdon: Even geniuses can't have that right!
Sienna: If you love this species, if you love this planet, you will do anything to save it!
Langdon: The worst sins in human history have been named in the name of love, but no one would agree!
