Overestimated the IQ of the movie
Evangeline 2022-03-15 09:01:02
Because I didn't read the original, I was always worried about not being able to understand the content of the movie before watching the movie. But after watching it, I think I really overestimated the IQ of this movie. This movie is actually not difficult to understand, and the film technique is not very attractive. For those of you who know this history, I didn't get a movie climax from this film, and I even wanted to read the original book to understand the extraordinary features of Dan Brown's novel. It is because this movie is not suspenseful enough and the content is not rich enough.

Robert Langdon: Have you ever heard those words before, Sophie, "so dark the con of man"?
Sophie Neveu: No. Have you?
Robert Langdon: When you were a child, were you aware of any secret gatherings? Anything ritualistic in nature? Meetings your grandfather would have wanted kept secret? Was there ever any talk of something called the Priory of Sion?
Sophie Neveu: The what? Why are you asking these things?
Robert Langdon: The Priory of Sion is a myth. One of the world's oldest and most secret societies with leaders like, uh, Sir Isaac Newton, da Vinci himself. The fleur-de-lis is their crest. They're guardians of a secret they supposedly refer to as "the dark con of man."
Sophie Neveu: But what secret?
Robert Langdon: The Priory of Sion protects the source of God's power on Earth.

Andre Vernet: Forgive the intrusion. I'm afraid the police arrived more quickly than I anticipated. You must follow me, please. For your own safety.
Sophie Neveu: You knew they were coming?
Andre Vernet: My guard alerted me to your status when you arrived. Yours is one of our oldest and highest-level accounts. It includes a safe-passage clause.
Robert Langdon: Safe passage?
Andre Vernet: [opening the back of an armored truck] If you step inside, please. Time is of the essence.
Robert Langdon: [nervously, seeing the limited space available] In there?
