True history, illusory story

In a certain year, certain month, it is impossible to examine, but it seems that there is really a time in history, such a world of rivers and lakes, the black and white double evil that was once covered with clouds ___ ten years will appear again with the mysterious iron order. Every head of the school will receive this token, and everyone who receives the token will eventually disappear on an unknown island in the East China Sea. Shi Potian was invited to the island and found that the heroes who died in the legend were obsessively studying a Tang poem: "Zhao Keman, Hu Ying, Wu Goushuang Xueming. The silver saddle illuminates the white horse, mad as a shooting star. Ten Kill one person with every step, never stay for a thousand miles..."

All the bloody winds on the rivers and lakes, all the dreams about peerless martial arts, all originated in a secret hidden in a Tang poem. Seeing that Jin Yong finally made Shi Potian of "Xia Ke Xing" a hero, I couldn't help but laugh: How stupid they were to fear, contemplate, escape and liberate seriously. However, I have to admit that Jin Yong blended the familiar symbols of Tang poems, martial arts, and knights into suspenseful novels full of conspiracy and love. Kung fu is really not covered.

Seeing Tom Hanks meditating on a pile of letters on the ground with a serious face, I couldn't help but smile. It really resembles "Xia Ke Xing", but its name is "The Da Vinci Code". Leonardo’s paintings hide the amazing secrets of Christianity. The movie begins with the murder of the curator of the Louvre. The deceased lies naked under Leonardo’s portrait, with a pagan five-pointed star engraved on his chest. A line of numbers and letters are written on the ground. Symbol expert Langdon was the last person contacted by the deceased during his lifetime. He was invited by the Paris police to help unravel the secrets of these symbols, and Langdon himself was the police's number one suspect. With the help of the curator's granddaughter, Langdon, who was involved for no reason, embarked on a journey of escape and decoding ___Only by unlocking the Da Vinci code can he escape the predicament.

The way of all Hollywood suspense films is to put the hero and heroine into a case, and then let them untie the case a little bit: they are the target of the murderer, but they are suspected by the police as the murderer. They have to deal with those who are hidden in the dark. The murderer has to avoid those foolish policemen, thrills come from here, love comes from here, and laughter comes from here. Compared with the great success of the novel, the movie "The Da Vinci Code" is really ordinary. Langdon and Sophie are put in such a set, but it seems that their lovers are not like lovers, and their fathers and daughters are not like fathers and daughters. The movie gives The space for actors and actresses to play is just to pretend to be puzzled like a puppet. It is really stupid. If there is no romantic love in a Hollywood movie, it is like no salt in the dish, "The Da Vinci Code" is like this. A film that is neither salty nor light. As a supporting role, the performances of Silas the albino killer and Teabing, an expert in the study of the Holy Grail, were brilliant, especially Silas, which showed Hanks' stupidity even more.

In terms of plot, the movie "The Da Vinci Code" was tight and loose, one coincidence after another. With the appearance of supporting characters, many plots were unexpected. The explanation of the Holy Grail and the history of Christianity in the film sounds a lot like that. It is much better than Mr. Liu Xinwu’s interpretation of "Dream of Red Mansions". If Liu Xinwu gets a little bit of inspiration from "The Da Vinci Code", he will come up with a "Red Chamber Code". No matter what, I really admire him.
