Play with suspense, play with humanities... If you change it to a movie...

Simply compare the original work with the movie, and see what the film adaptation is...
1. The
opening paragraph of the original work of the scientist's death is about the mysterious markings of the male pig going to the European Nuclear Center to investigate the chest of the murdered scientist, explaining the European Nuclear Center. The background, and led to important figures: the director of the European Nuclear Center and the daughter of the deceased, which is the female pig. The three people confessed three messages in a series of dialogues around the research result "antimatter": 1. The power of antimatter is amazing, 2. It is being The evidence used to prove the "Genesis", 3. A large pile of this stuff was stolen...especially the second point, this is the origin of the entire conspiracy in the original book, and the film was only taken later through the dictation of the commander of the Swiss Guard …At the beginning, the people who watched the experiment by a group of popular face scientists were confused, and those who looked at the name of the prequel to the Da Vinci Code must have thought it was misplaced...

2. The background of the story, the
original work was 1/4 He came to the Vatican only after the content, and was told three important pieces of information: 1. The old pope has made lunch, and the church is in a secret meeting to elect a new pope. 2. Four Pope candidates were kidnapped. 3. The antimatter is here, and it will blow up the Vatican in a few hours... and the third point is also the reason why the male pigs and female pigs moved from the European Nuclear Center. The suspense is one after another, and the background slowly unfolds. This is the feeling of the novel, and the film will narrate the death of the scientist, the theft of anti-matter, the Illuminati, the kidnapping of the bishop and other things from the mouth to the male pig... This hasty beginning completely disrupted the original story background layout, and created the whole film. The audience expressed that they didn’t understand...so that the following direction became a brainless action movie...

3. Puzzle
In all fairness, the puzzle-solving process in the middle part is relatively faithful to the original, but unfortunately the thinking process of the male pig puzzle-solving in the novel and the related humanistic background introduction are omitted in the movie, making people look more like solving the puzzle for the purpose of understanding the mystery. A group of pig brain policemen approached the murderer step by step along the omniscient male pig. This kind of film seems to be similar, right, the dead Zhengtai who wears glasses and shorts also likes to do this... There is also a strange place in the original book. The four bishops all made their lunch. The last male pig was not saved. I really don’t understand the purpose of this treatment...

3. Characters
Novels have a natural advantage in portraying the characters. They can describe the heart activities of the characters through narration. Of course, movies are also possible, but commercial movies rarely do that... This creates another cup, the image of the characters is too thin... in the original book The male pig was basically a passerby in the first 1/3 of the book, and he couldn't say anything. After 1/3, he was good at symbol puzzle solving, and the director seemed to not allow others to grab Brother Tang like this. As soon as he got off the plane, Brother Tang began to talk endlessly, walking around Rome with a female pig with unlimited physical strength... And the lustful killer comrades in the original movie that are almost female are all deleted without leaking ( Occasionally, I am looking forward to the SM scene--), a small gun singled out countless NB Swiss guards, and after taking the money, he was killed by a car bomb. It was too Hollywood...

4. Ending:
Ending It’s the most incomprehensible to me. Because the director was castrated in the movie, it was the commander of the guard who took him to death. The method of death was exactly the same. When questioning the papal guard, he was beaten to death by other guards who broke into the unknown truth. When Gu's received the lunch box, it seemed a bit abrupt here. The final duel between the director and the guard in the novel, I think it represents the confrontation between science and religion. In the end, the guard won 1-0 with a conspiracy, but the male pig Xiaoqiang's vitality jumped out of the helicopter without a parachute and brought the director to death. The previous video rushed back to the wrong conspiracy, plus the real identity of the villain, which forced him to self-immolate 1:2. This episode is truly hearty. But the movie version did a good job of the anti-matter explosion scene, and it didn't lose the panties...

5. The big villain of
the cup : Of course, the most cupful is the real murderer behind the scenes: the character of the papal guard is terrible in the script and the director. Under the scissors, he became a terrorist who failed to conspiracy to buy murder and finally jumped over the wall...In the original work, he was clearly an aspiring young man who wanted to revitalize the church. After learning about the scandal of the Pope’s birth and the research results of scientists , The birth of the Illuminati and anti-matter to create a panic that destroys the world, in the panic, he played the savior, thus pulling people from the scientific side back to religious beliefs. But after the conspiracy was broken, he discovered that he was born through artificial insemination, which is science, and it was his biological father who was poisoned to death. After one cup after another, this contradictory combination set ablaze on fire in full view. Fly to God and his old man to bird...

6. Details
There are so many details in the original book that the film does not explain. For example, the male pig is a good swimmer, which saved him two lives. The first time was a power outage in the secret room, and his vital capacity allowed him to smash the glass. The second time was when he jumped off a plane. It’s

a pity that the standard diving action made him alive when he fell into the river , a novel that is so suitable for commercialization, it was adapted like this... I personally feel that "Heaven" is better than "Da", and it is also a religious and humanistic background. , There are conspiracy theories, there is a countdown to the terrorist attack of the big bang, there are mystery suspense, and there are charming behind-the-scenes. They are all the favorite tunes of Hollywood commercial films, without losing the connotation that a humanistic mystery should have, antimatter and matter. , Science and religion are binary correspondences. Just like the theme of this article, "Angels and Demons", in
general, it is still a flaw in the adaptation of the script. It is estimated that even the director's cut version can do nothing... alas...
