Da Vinci's password-box office victory does not mean excellence

Yesterday and Tuesday, all movie theaters in Chengdu were half price. So when I went to the cinema, I was shocked.

People~men~women~old people~little people~everyone everyone………………After

finally changing the two theaters, risking cervical spondylosis, bought the ticket for the second row position and gave it to it. Watched.

But the result?

To put it simply, those who have read the novel feel that they have deleted too many interesting places. After all, the most interesting thing about the novel itself is the process of analyzing the seemingly real history, paintings, and deciphering the code. Remove these, the book "The Code" 3rd-rate suspense novels are not counted.

So when the film is simplified and complicated, it becomes very boring to those who have read the original book. Instead, I have more energy to pay attention to the loopholes in the crude plot. The most obvious is the beginning, the huge Louvre Palace actually only left one guard, but also slipped the guard. And when the large group returned to capture them, the shots switched, they looked like King Kong came to New York, and suddenly escaped smoothly.

On the other hand, when most people in China don't know much about the basic historical background of novels, if you don't read novels and go to movies directly, you will feel very hazy. It seems interesting, but some of them don't understand it very well.

SO, the best choice is to watch the movie first, then read the novel, if you think you have the money to make a fuss, watch the movie again.

As for the actors, they didn't say anything about it. Those few big shots were just because of box office considerations. Because the novel itself basically does not portray the characters, the characters in it are nothing more than props that promote the plot and make sounds. Therefore, it won't matter much if you call any cat or puppy to play.

    At that time, the four boys of us went to see it. When the post-movie ended, Obasan from the cinema woke us up.

The Da Vinci Code quotes

  • Robert Langdon: Now, as you can imagine, the female symbol is its exact opposite. This is called the chalice.

    Sir Leigh Teabing: And the chalice resembles a cup or vessel, or more importantly, the shape of a woman's womb. No, the Grail has never been a cup. It is quite literally this ancient symbol of womanhood. And in this case, a woman who carried a secret so powerful that if revealed, it would devastate the very foundations of Christianity.

    Sophie Neveu: Wait, please. You're saying the Holy Grail is a person? A woman?

    Sir Leigh Teabing: [indicating "The Last Supper"] And it turns out, she makes an appearance right there.

    Sophie Neveu: Hmm. But they are all men.

    Sir Leigh Teabing: Are they? What about that figure on the right hand of our Lord seated in the place of honor, hmm? Flowing red hair. Folded feminine hands. Hint of a bosom, no?

  • Sophie Neveu: Who is she?

    Sir Leigh Teabing: My dear, that's Mary Magdalene.

    Sophie Neveu: The prostitute?

    Sir Leigh Teabing: [insulted] She was no such thing. Smeared by the Church in 591 anno Domini. Poor dear. Mary Magdalene was Jesus' wife.
