The whole movie is 2 hours long, which is longer than the average movie, but it still fails to cover all the content in the novel, and a lot of deletions and changes have been made. For example, an introduction to the other two works by Leonardo da Vinci, "The Madonna of the Rocks" and "The Vitruvian Man", the introduction of Judas gestures in "The Last Supper", the mysterious rituals of the monastery of Jishan, etc., these are in the reading The parts that fascinated me the most were not reflected in the movie. For example, in the novel, Langdon and Neveu went to the National Library of England (if I remember correctly) to find the "a pope" where Newton was buried. The scene description was particularly spectacular, but in the movie it was changed to "robbing on the bus." I searched the Internet on a young man's mobile phone, and he felt like a "bang" at the time. In addition, many of the puzzle-solving processes have been simplified or even deleted, which greatly reduces the suspense. Although these contents may not be necessary and play a key role in promoting the development of the film's plot, the story is not so impressive because of the lack of flesh and blood and only a shriveled body.
Although the film has drastically deleted the original work to shorten the length of the film, the whole film still appears hasty. The explanatory part was passed by, and the audience couldn't help but slow down their thoughts, digestion and absorption, and new content flooded into the brain, just like a duck filling. The switching of movie scenes is more faithful to the original, and quickly switches between several pedestrians to create a tense atmosphere. At the same time, new problems emerged. Since each paragraph is relatively short, sometimes a piece of music is abruptly short before the broadcast is finished, and it is transferred to another scene. There is usually no original picture transition between them, which gives people a feeling of incoherence. In comparison, I think the TV series "Anti-Terrorism 24 Hours" has done a better job in scene switching. And in the same theme of the film, also think that "National Treasure" is even better.
After talking about the shortcomings for a long time, let's talk about the good ones. I like that in movies, ancient scenery and modern scenery are often reduced in price. On the one hand, it shows the characters' memories of the past, and on the other hand, it also shows that the protagonist in the modern world is looking for the footsteps of history to explain the puzzle step by step. It alleviated the problem of time rush, and unexpectedly made the audience feel good. In addition, following in the footsteps of the protagonist, I saw and heard many things I didn't know before, which broadened my horizons.
As for whether this movie should be recommended, I think this way: if you have never seen the original, then I think this movie is a good choice; if you have already seen the original, then don’t waste time, if you still It's especially unfinished, so you might as well find out the original work and read it again.
The disturbance caused by the book "The Da Vinci Code" is not small. Some commentators say that "Best-selling novels are available every year, but what makes "The Da Vinci Code" unique is that it has as many opponents as supporters. ", "Because this work and its controversy involve a large number of religious allusions and European historical events." Therefore, "no matter how the film is made, "The Da Vinci Code" has become a phenomenon. The "Finci Code" incident has made this movie beyond the scope of movies and books and has become a social topic." In this way, no matter whether there is suspicion of vulgarity, whether it is a novel or a movie, no matter who you are, "The Da Vinci Code" has reasons that you can't refuse.
