I'm just talking about this Pope's Chamberlain

Well, the description of the Vatican and religious beliefs in this book can be regarded as enlightenment of values ​​and aesthetics to me when I was young (in elementary school) and lacked in knowledge, which indirectly led me to engage in art-related work more than ten years later. life choices. The contradictory character of the Pope's Chamberlain in the book even framed my general aesthetic direction for men in the future...

I only learned this year that it had been made into a movie, and Ivan, the little angel who played the Pope's Chamberlain, was originally a favorite. Very happy overlapping, but after reading it, it feels like a mouthful of old blood and uncleanness! I don't like this movie version of the Chamberlain at all. He has a good-looking face and a good voice, but where is the tragic character in the book that is fragile and collapsed to the point of regretting tears?

All I saw was a crappy conspirator who used faith as a lobbying attempt to usurp power. In the original version, the miraculous arrival of the waiter turned into a beating and beating with a parachute bag? In the end, the conspiracy was revealed, and the self-immolation was almost like a dog jumping over the wall, accompanied by a piercing scream that shocked me... What and what? Fear of committing suicide? Everything is too! No! body! noodle! ! In the book, when the servant ignited himself under the gaze of thousands of believers in the square, he was silent from beginning to end. The ritual sense of faith reached the peak of beauty at that moment. No one would hate him, but only wish him to return to God. Go beside me...

Well, based on my many years of experience as a fan of Star Wars Master Kenobi, it is impossible for Ivan to not have such acting skills, so I sent the pot to the director and screenwriter, especially the lines, can I be any more stupid? ?

Oh, it's very reductive to have the Swiss Professor Silvig (Mist) play this Swiss soldier. = =

Angels & Demons quotes

  • [the bomb that threatens to destroy St.Peter's is set to go off at midnight. The Camerlengo is discussing evacuation with his security chief]

    Camerlengo Patrick McKenna: At 11:15, if the Church is still in peril, If we are still in peril... give the order to evacuate the Cardinals. But with dignity. Let them walk out into St. Peter's Square with their heads held high. I don't want the last image of this Church to be of frightened old men sneaking out the back door.

  • Robert Langdon: You will counsel him wisely.

    Cardinal Strauss: [chuckles] I am an old man. I will counsel him briefly.
