I watched "The Dante Code" at home yesterday, and it turns out that the biggest problem with watching movies at home is that the endless distractions make me need to keep replaying, and it also proves that the pace of the movie is still fast enough. The decryption movie turns into a disaster movie, and the professor turns into a superhero in a premeditated plan to save humanity from extinction. The population problem is indeed a hard injury.
The film's villain, Zobrist (the name is really hard to remember), is a billionaire, and what's even more remarkable is that he has a lot of money and talent. A genius geneticist, he blames overpopulation for many of the problems facing humanity. His theory has a lot of supporters. He has developed a deadly virus and wants to use the virus to spread to destroy most of the human race so as to solve the problems caused by overpopulation.
Zobrist wants to reduce the population in an extreme way. In addition to the support of the powerful scientific and technological forces behind him, what is even more powerful is ideological cleansing. This kind of idea, similar to paganism, can be widely circulated precisely because people see the existence of the problem but suffer from no way to solve it. The confused and worried human brain and how easy it is to let those seemingly self-justified views take advantage of it.
It is undeniable that overpopulation is indeed a serious injury to the increasingly severe living situation, such as environmental problems and resource problems. While the population is multiplying rapidly, the corresponding supporting facilities and security systems have not kept up. This is a problem brought about by the development of human civilization and needs to be solved in the course of development. However, this long process is too easy to lose people's hearts.
The decryption part is like a chicken rib. The decryption part that was supposed to be the highlight was not that great. Revolving around the hell map of Dante's "The Divine Comedy", Professor Langdon needs to deduce Zobrist's plan to stop him and save humanity. Actually, I really didn't understand this storyline. Why must a person as smart as Zobrist have a conspiracy that can be designed reasonably? Is it because Zobrist is too arrogant and wants to play a thrilling decryption game, or is he just trying to make this clichéd story of saving mankind look high-end, complicated, and upscale? So, be sure to put on the mysterious cloak of decryption and add some not-so-beautiful colors to the whole story.
Emotion is also the driving force behind the choice of good or evil. In this disaster film, which is deciphered as a coat and saves mankind as its essence, emotions are inevitably used as a clue. Indeed, any story that doesn't make sense logically can be justified by emotion. Because of her love for Zobrist, she would risk her life to fulfill his beliefs. A woman, because love unconditionally believes and supports her lover, needs a reason.
Professor Langdon, who was unmarried at the beginning of the story, lost an important watch, mainly to pave the way for decades of emotional entanglement between him and the World Health Organization's strong woman. A professor, going through fire and water to help an ex-girlfriend with an official background to save mankind, needs a reason. Emotions are such a powerful thing. Overall, the plot of this story is really average. It reluctantly uses emotion as a needle and thread to sew a decrypted coat and tell a clichéd story of rescue.
