To copy an introduction about the movie, in fact, silence is better than sound at this time. After discovering a fortune, Ben Gates (Nicholas Cage), the world's most famous treasure hunter, and his father, Patrick Gates (Joe Walter, in "Transformers"), a college professor. That Secretary of Defense) found another page of the diary of Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. Booth's diary was found on him after he was killed, but several pages were torn and never found. This time I found one of those pages. To their great surprise, the contents of this diary page suggested that their ancestor, Thomas Gates, was an accomplice in the assassination of President Lincoln.
Ben Gates joins forces with ex-girlfriend Abigail Chas (Diane Kruger), a national archivist, and computer whiz Riley Poole (Justin Barca), his old partner. Go on an adventurous journey around the world, full of dangers. Crises from multiple secret centers like Washington D.C., Paris, London, and the American Heartland overlap... I love the layers of wisdom, suspense, puzzle solving, adventure, and interlocking that make people nervous.
In fact, I prefer to talk about the director's arrangement of a little humor to entertain the public in such a tense atmosphere. Even at the end of the film, it is so surprising - Riley Poole was driving his beloved Ferrari, but accidentally bumped into it. On some obstacles that may cause serious damage to the car, of course, you and I don't know what it is, maybe a street light, the director just wants to make you smile. But I still have to thank the wonderful translation, as beautiful as the translation of Ratatouille. Maybe American humor is this cultural feature. It is not surprising to read more, and I would rather enjoy this kind of happiness every day.
I remember having a relationship when I was in college, and my girlfriend always defined me for who I was, or misunderstood me. I would ask her: "Do you have any evidence?". I gave her this sentence at that time: "When you don't have enough evidence, don't jump to conclusions, don't simply say what kind of person the other party is, or what you should do. ; When you don't have enough reasons, you must not do something, especially fall in love, or get married." Because you have to think - do you have enough evidence?
People always understand certain things in a simplistic way. In fact, simplicity is not scary. What is scary is that they always simply think that certain things are "inevitable", and even have a strong "desire" that they are inevitable. And they can't find any reason for these, or the law that has been formed. In this society, we desperately need evidence. Ludwig Wittgenstein, founder of analytic philosophy and author of On the Philosophy of Logic, said: There is no "correct" answer. But why do we believe it? Even deliberately think "that's it" and "that's how it should be"? The reason is simple: we just have a whole bunch of explanations that have an irresistible temptation to accept and firmly believe that they are "right". But for the full answer to the truth, they are only guesses and can never be proved like mathematics. The process of finding treasure is actually a process of finding evidence. When you don't have enough evidence, you must not come to a conclusion.
But I prefer to understand that they are looking for love-because of the treasure, lovers who have been quarreling and not talking for 32 years can also "fight" together, perhaps because their son "you have to assure me that my son is okay", the hero saves The queen's kiss was so sweet. Of course, there is also the reconciliation between our leading actor and his quarreling girlfriend. This is also what I would like to see very much. I just like to see the hero and heroine hugging. What a happy thing it is. But those romantic loves made people feel that they should hold her hand beside her.
