I have always hated this kind of contrast: novels and movies, originals and translations... Since different medium languages-text/lens, foreign language/Chinese, have seriously changed the characteristics of art, why not just treat it as a self-sufficient one What about the individual?
Movies have been commercial since they appeared in Hollywood. Art is just an additive. It is of course good to have it, but it does not affect the overall situation. In terms of commercial operation, the film "The Da Vinci Code" was a success. From religious disputes to filming was blocked, the ending was that the film was still amidst the scolding, but the box office soared, and even the tourism industry launched the "Code Journey" while it was hot. ", followed by fishing for it.
The film’s narrative of the novel hardly changed is probably the result of being in the shadow of the huge success of the best-selling book, and due to the limitations of the film itself, Ron Howard had to work hard to express some of the books in the book that was a bit boring. In historical and theoretical passages, the tension of the picture has to be used to replace the mental thrillers in the novel... So although in this sense, the film "The Da Vinci Code" is not at least a failed adaptation of the work, but if If you are obsessed with novels, it will still disappoint. In fact, this kind of appeal itself is superfluous. If you really love literature, you should have known for a long time that the pleasure brought by images is cheap and low-level compared to reading text. Just think about how rare adaptations of famous works in the history of film have been generally praised. Not to mention that this is just a suspenseful story that is popular and popular.
Dan Brown never had the luxury of wanting to write serious literary books. The novel "The Da Vinci Code" is a popular business book from narrative, structure to distribution operation, but the theme and religious color of the story have increased the prestige of the less popular novel genre. Strict reasoning challenges the intelligence of the audience, and the strong religious and art history background adds infinite cultural flavor to a popular book. Naturally, people who are accustomed to urban romances or Stephen King’s thriller stories are attracted by these auras, which at least give the general public who are essentially incomprehensible a kind of seemingly deep reading pleasure. As a result, the novel "The Da Vinci Code" became a hit.
However, the rapid response of the religious community has once again contributed to the "Da Vinci Code" series of products. To be honest, in the past few years, religious people who are deeply rooted in simplicity have often fought with the mass media. From the film adaptation of the banned book "The Last Temptation of Christ" to the controversial "Passion of the Christ" filmed by Mel Gibson. Like "The Da Vinci Code", vowed to "pull the divine Christ off the altar." Is this trend not only in the religious world? Not long ago, the movie "Troy" and the new film "Tristan and Yser", which were bought a lot not long ago, turned epic myths into modern stories—the battle of honor has become a battle of power and color, and the magic of destiny has become Love for a long time-which one is not to please modern audiences who are really lacking in imagination? Because today, no one seems to believe in divinity anymore.
In fact, some movies require some background knowledge, because not all stories are repeats of urban legends that you are familiar with. The film "The Da Vinci Code" has some religious and art history backgrounds, but some are distorted by the film, and some are just gimmicks of popular culture. If you have never read a novel, and lack a little background knowledge, I dare to make a guarantee. There are definitely quite a few people who don't understand it, and can't even connect the plot that is too tight. It is estimated that the most rewarding result is that seeing the epaulettes of the soldiers again is a snicker in the heart, or next time you have to carefully examine whether there is a cup on the table in the famous painting "The Last Supper"?
