Old man Langdon, where are you going?

In college, I came into contact with Dan Brown's novel from "The Da Vinci Code", and then watched the movie "The Da Vinci Code", and then when I read the novel again, I found the charm of this novel, and was completely influenced by Dan Brown's extensive Convinced by the knowledge of the novel, writing such a novel requires not only a comprehensive understanding of the European Renaissance background, but also the ability to ingeniously conceive the storyline, and then integrate the European culture, tradition, religion, and history, just like I I have always been optimistic about "Hong Kong 囧" before, but the latter obviously did not put any effort into integration, but a simple and far-fetched patchwork. Then came the novel and the movie "Devil and Angel". I read the novel around 13 years ago and watched it with great interest. At the same time, I also found that the movie has been reduced a lot. It's a pity. Dan Brown's novels are all like this. , the ending must be reversed, from Teabing in "The Da Vinci Code", but the Pope's Chamberlain in "Angels and Demons", to Sienna in "Dante Code", but the author has already done a lot of work The foreshadowing, which can make us smile or pat our thighs when we read it for the second time. I like Dan Brown's novel style very much, it is tense and twisted, the story is strong, and the characters are very vivid, and everyone has a personality. But the film, especially "The Dante Code", was not very well done, and did not capture the essence of the novel's connotation. In the film, Zobrist was portrayed as a crazy pervert, dehumanizing, including Sienna. In fact, the characters in the novel are more realistic and three-dimensional. Many of Zobrist's ideas are very meaningful, especially the random sterilization virus. Tom Hanks, an old man, is too powerful. He is as expected as Mr. America. I also like his "Cloud Atlas". Powerful novel! I hope that novels like mine can be published in China!
