One movie is enough

I bought the book "The Da Vinci Code" in January last year, and watched the movie "The Da Vinci Code" a few days ago. Some thoughts are chatted to record.
1. The film is faithful to the original, very faithful, basically unchanged, this is a rare honest screenwriter in the history of film adaptation. But being too faithful brings actual betrayal, which makes the movie not as thrilling and beautiful as the novel.
2. Some people say that the rhythm of the movie should be slower, so that the audience can understand the religion inside. In fact, I think it is very easy to understand, not esoteric. It is enough to understand the differences between the two factions on the existence of Jesus.
3. What is the name of the woman in the cast? It doesn't match the feeling in the original book. The original book says that "this woman has an unadorned health and beauty, and she exudes amazing self-confidence", but it can't be seen in the movie. What is the man's name? I know that he played Forrest Gump. As a person born in 1956, he is indeed older and lacks the demeanor of a scholar.
4. The special effects of the movie are very cute. For example, in front of Newton's tomb, the replay of the 18th century phantom is very interesting. At the end of the movie, I also felt that the final worship of the Holy Grail was filmed.
5. Why are most of the policemen in the movies stupid? The Anglican Inspector in "The Da Vinci Code" is no exception, but fortunately, he is enlightened.
6. The scenery is good. The Louvre and a host of other churches and castles dazzled me.
7. I flipped through the novel just now and found that it seemed quite strange, so read it again when it's okay.
8. One movie is enough.

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?
