Let me talk about the shortcomings first. In my mind, the biggest shortcoming of this movie is that it is too short. For a movie, two and a half hours is not short, but for a film adapted from a novel with such a brilliant plot and involving such a wide range of knowledge, two and a half hours is too short. I can't wait for the movie to be extended to 24 hours, telling every plot, sorting out the details of every reasoning, and portraying every character more deeply. This is a movie where the plot promotes the development of the story, not the characters promote the development of the story, so how to tell the story is the key to success. Howard is a very good director, and he did his best, but time constraints inevitably led to some plot modifications and unclear explanations, as well as rapid development in rhythm. Judging from the reactions of most audiences after the movie, more than 90% of the audience did not understand at all or had a wrong understanding. If they have not read a novel, plus have a certain understanding of religion, it will really make the original distance. The Chinese people who are far away from God are troubled. I secretly hope that there will be an American drama in the future, three episodes of upper, middle and lower are enough to tell a complete story.
Except for this shortcoming and the minor problems caused by this shortcoming, the whole film is perfect as a commercial film. A good actor like Hanks is familiar with playing Langdon. The middle-aged, slightly blessed, he combs his back and looks like a scholar; Torto is still as cute as an angel; Silas makes the two next to him every time he makes his appearance. The lady was taken aback; although Professor Ian’s Teabing was a villain, he drew the most laughs because of his good conversation; Renault was still a strong and reliable policeman; even the actor who played the bishop was very good. Then I remembered, isn’t this Dr. Octopus in "Spider-Man 2"?
Almost every character matches the image in my mind. My current thinking is completely within a satisfying limit. I cannot imagine a more suitable cast, which is unimaginable. The whole viewing process is not only appreciation, but also confirmation. Confirmation is a kind of fun, a kind of fun that is completely different from watching a movie with suspense. The ending is in my mind, all I want to know is how the director resonates with the image in my mind through his images.
Whenever a scene appears, I will wonder whether this and the paragraph in the book can be matched, and whether it is similar to what I imagined in my mind. I will understand the director’s simplification of certain plots—for example, the cipher can be viewed from two layers to one layer, and some plot changes—such as using a mobile phone to query keywords. I will admire the director’s "The interpretation method, as well as the performance of Smart and Land Rover, I will also regret the hasty handling and changes in some places.
Anyway, when Langdon finally had an epiphany, ran out of the hotel, followed the rose line, to the glass pyramid, and discovered the true location of the Holy Grail. At that time, the soundtrack of Master Kimmer sounded. At that time, I was moved. I thank the director and the actors for fulfilling a dream of mine. One day, when we go to Rome, we will visit Rome along the route of “Roman Holiday”; one day, when we go to Paris and London, we will definitely look for the legendary Holy Grail. , Go to see the Louvre, "Mona Lisa", "Our Lady of the Rocks", "The Last Supper", glass pyramid, rose line, Westminster Abbey, Temple Church, Newton's Tomb, Rosslyn Church, go Feel the indistinguishable world of true and false.
"In the past, there was a layer of glass called time between us and history, but now, we are in history, and we are creating history."
