It's still worth going to the theater

The Da Vinci Code

Yesterday, I watched "The Da Vinci Code" at UME in Xintiandi. I didn't have the surprise when I was reading the book. Some of them have a more intuitive understanding of the potential symbolic meaning of many famous Da Vinci paintings in the book. The movie is completely loyal to the original, and the story process is the same as the book. Although I have read the book and know the ending, it is still worth going to the theater to watch the film. Many of the key points in the book are derived from Leonardo’s famous paintings. The movie uses screen synthesis to show you how Leonardo hid the greatest secret in The Last Supper. Following the lens of the movie, we can see many churches and monasteries mentioned in the book. The scenes shot on the spot are very good, so good that the performance of the two protagonists can be ignored.

I admire that Tom Hanks can lose more than 20 catties for this character, but his image is still too old, which is far from the image of the protagonist of the novel in my heart. The heroine is not particularly brilliant, she can only be regarded as having just completed the task, and she forgot what she looked like after she got out of the movie theater. Several supporting roles are good, but the actor who plays the leper is commendable.

The Da Vinci Code quotes

  • Robert Langdon: There was every orb conceivable on that tomb except one. The orb which fell from the heavens and inspired Newton's life's work. Work that incurred the wrath of the Church... until his dying day. A-P-P-L-E. Apple.

  • Sophie Neveu: Maybe there is something about this Priory of Sion.

    Robert Langdon: I hope not. Any Priory story ends in bloodshed. They were butchered by the Church. It all started over a thousand years ago when a French king conquered the holy city of Jerusalem. This crusade, one of the most massive and sweeping in history, was actually orchestrated by a secret brotherhood, the Priory of Sion and their military arm, the Knights Templar.

    Sophie Neveu: But the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land.

    Robert Langdon: That was a cover to hide their true goal, according to this myth. Supposedly the invasion was to find an artifact lost since the time of Christ. An artifact, it was said, the Church would kill to possess.

    Sophie Neveu: Did they find it, this buried treasure?

    Robert Langdon: Put it this way: One day the Templars simply stopped searching. They quit the Holy Land and traveled directly to Rome. Whether they blackmailed the papacy or the Church bought their silence, no one knows. But it is a fact the papacy declared these Priory knights, these Knights Templar, of limitless power. By the 1300s, the Templars had grown *too* powerful. Too threatening. So the Vatican issued secret orders to be opened simultaneously all across Europe. The Pope had declared the Knights Templar Satan worshipers and said God had charged *him* with cleansing the earth of these heretics. The plan went off like clockwork. The Templars were all but exterminated. The date was October 13th, 1307. A Friday.

    Sophie Neveu: Friday the 13th.

    Robert Langdon: The Pope sent troops to claim the Priory's treasure, but they found nothing. The few surviving Knights of the Priory had vanished, and the search for their sacred artifact began again.

    Sophie Neveu: What artifact? I've never heard about any of this.

    Robert Langdon: Yes, you have. Almost everyone on earth has. You just know it as the Holy Grail.
