It's still worth going to the theater

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: 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?
