It's so hard to make a novel into a movie. . . There are spoilers

First of all, I am a Dan Brown fan, a Tom Hanks fan, and there may be subjective biases.

I read the novel first and then watched the movie. Hell is the one with the worst personal impression of Professor Langdon's three films. Because I already knew the whole plot, I couldn't watch it anymore when I saw Vayentha going to the hotel to find Professor Langdon. The plot is basically the same as the original, so it is too difficult to make a movie from a novel. People lose interest in continuing to look down, and if they change too much, it is easy to be scolded. Let's talk about other feelings one by one (--I really want to make a page PPT--), and what to say when I think of it;

1. The picture, the presentation of hell, and the video for the spread of the virus are all quite different from the imagination when reading the novel. It doesn't feel like the horror described in the novel, especially the video used to publish it, what about the Dante mask?

2. Music, familiar music with familiar Professor Langdon

3. Character design, I don’t want to spoil too much, just pick a few and say, Omar Sy is too easy to make people play, and the honest and honest image has been rooted in my heart; The image of the provost is really too thin, I just think he is a self-willed arrogant, and as a boss, what are you doing to your employees? It's more annoying than the original; the two heroines have been portrayed as black and white, and there is no gray area in the original design. Unfortunately, in the

end, returning to the plot, may it be the film's ability to carry information? There are a lot less details than the original version (details that are not psychological descriptions, such as the handsome guy in Venice? I am looking forward to it, very sad), but those famous paintings and famous places that have a driving significance for the plot are still reserved, after all I don't know much about Western art, but I can read the masterpieces described in the novel, which is not bad.

In the end, the police are big asses.
