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.

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?
