I was very excited when I read Dan Brown's book at the beginning, but I was even more excited when I discovered that the book is also very popular in China. Later, when I read the comments written by the Chinese audience, I became completely calm. Because of the religious differences, most Chinese audiences can't understand it.
Indeed, even if a Chinese audience who has no common sense of Christianity or even watched the original work to watch this movie, it can still be in place from scratch. Just like Chinese students doing TOEFL questions, you only need to master the main points of the article. The teacher has said that the new words can be ignored. If it is a word you don’t know, it must be unimportant (of course, provided that you have at least a university English language proficiency). In the same way, the suspense points of the film appeared one after another, and then the code was revealed one after another, and the audience's mind was not stopped for more than two hours. It was of course enjoyable after watching.

But if you have read a book, or have a certain understanding of Christianity, you will see a different landscape besides the ease of understanding the topic. This is what a theory of "deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors". There are quite a lot of so-called "historical materials" in the book, and the general readers will skip reading large sections of introductions and unfamiliar sect names. But making it into a movie is different. . . One of the bishop's words "Jesus sacrificed himself for us, and his descendants should do the same." was enough to anger the Holy See. The negative image of the church is so vivid, and it suddenly stands on the opposite side of God. How can the Vatican bear this shame?

Talk about the film itself. Personally, I think the film is very good. To be honest, it is impossible to make such a big picture, just like Harry Potter, the original work is difficult to make large-scale revisions. All the director can do is present the original as completely as possible. If you want me to say that all the car chasing scenes should be deleted, it would be more convincing to make a Sherlock-like reasoning film, and then add more theoretical analysis.

Finally, if you are really interested in that period of history after watching the movie, Mr. Dan Brown has achieved the goal. Regarding the life experience of Jesus, any mature man of any country will accept that he is a human and has a family. But when it comes to faith, this is a spiritual matter, and it has nothing to do with specific things. Speaking from the beginning, Jesus was a Jew, more specifically, he was also a Jew. What he did was originally a reform of Judaism, and what happened later was based on the Passion of the Christ. The Romans killed him to quell religious disputes. Unexpectedly, after a few centuries, his followers increased, and they integrated the doctrines of various sects at that time, and gradually formed their own style. Finally, in order to control the situation, the Romans decided to establish Christianity and set it as the state religion. The Romans as rulers believed in the gods of nature, and of course men and women were equal. However, the establishment of Christianity at that time had political considerations and strengthened the divinity of Jesus, so he had to ignore his humanity. Later, the knights of the Temple had a taste of warlords. They protected the pilgrims from the Crusades to Jerusalem. Later, they became more and more powerful, and they received the support of the church and granted them the status of missionaries. According to Dan Brown, the church did this to allow them to keep the secret of Jesus' life experience, but this is just a guess. About two centuries later, the power of the Templars was already very powerful, which led to the famous killing on Friday, October 13, 1307. Dan Brown led away from the Knights of the Temple, and the later struggles between the Priory of Sion and the God's Union were mostly fictional. The claim that the Priory of Sion Mountain approached God in a sexual way reminded me of the mysterious religious ceremony in which Mr. Atang accidentally intruded in "Eye-Opening". Could it be that Comrade Kubrick was also a member? Both of these organizations have indeed existed. The Catholic Union is a relatively open Catholic organization with strict canon and confidentiality of the identities of its members. Both organizations have many celebrities and senior leaders involved, and the intensity of their struggles can be imagined. But as for what the Holy Grail is, all the current claims are just conjectures. Who can believe this kind of things that even Jesus himself does not know? After more than two thousand years, it is difficult to say whether there are any descendants of Jesus. Speaking of this, a sad conclusion was born. The churches that all people who believe in God go to are built by churches that don’t believe in God very much and even try to kill his offspring. The foundation of the so-called faith was originally a hoax, let alone those rituals. So, to promote my concept: Religion is personal and Christ is in your heart. (Successfully led everyone into the ditch, admire myself)

In the end, let’s use historical gossip:

The Roman Empire, which unified religion, finally split into two parts, the East and the West. The western part lasted for a relatively short period of time. The Eastern Roman Empire lasted until the 15th century and continued the Christian tradition. The capital of the Eastern Roman Empire is now Istanbul, the capital of Turkey. In other words, before the 15th century, this place believed in Christianity, ha.

In addition, the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire have always been invaded by foreign races. This foreign race is the Huns who ran over from us. The Huns ran around and finally settled in Hungary~~~

Islam did not appear until around the 7th century. Yes, they believed that Jesus was one of the prophets, and Muhammad was also an important prophet. So, whatever you fight, everyone is originally a family, don't always use religion to fool the kind and blind people.

At the end of the novel, the tomb of Maria Magdalene is hidden in the Louvre. Haha, it's still under the base of Mr. Pei's glass pyramid built in 1988. . . Dan Brown might finally want to say: I am teasing you.

Therefore, there are no secrets in this world, and the more people who talk about it have become passwords.

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.
