The situation in the United States is different from that in Europe. Teachers have said that it is a more free and loose system. There are many churches that are not under the control of the church. The names are very strange and the research is also strange. After reading Dan Brown's After a few works, I'm almost certain that this guy must be a member of some strange church, so he spared no effort to offend the church, and enjoy it.
Since Da Vinci Code came out, the trouble it has encountered is not one or two points. First it caused a huge wave in the conservative Catholic control zone of the United States, and then it was involved in the plagiarism scandal, but in any case, this is a book. A very good book, the good thing is that it is crazy enough, and the crazy thinking is quite logical.
When looking at the text, it is natural that I followed the footsteps of the protagonist and traveled all the way to Paris. The scenes mentioned in the book are all the scenery under the feet, which is not so kind. At that time Louvre was holding the Da Vinci exhibition. There were paintings and paintings, or imitations if they were not painted. Therefore, the paintings mentioned in the book are also fortunate to stand in front of them. How can I say, Da Vinci's paintings? It is indeed a little weird. Compared with other golden and emerald religious paintings with dignified gestures, his paintings use dark tones and huge shadows on the one hand to highlight the sense of mystery, on the other hand, they use natural gestures and richness. The expression highlights the human nature, so I often don't feel the feeling of looking at a religious painting.
Stepping on the rose line mentioned at the end of the book, looking down at the small pyramid under Louvre, there is no feeling of turmoil. I look at the small pyramid and always feel that it is a cold and lifeless thing, and it is impossible to hide a thousand-year secret inside. At that moment, I felt scared. If divinity is a part of human nature, then I am afraid that some part of me has been stifled early.
Is divinity part of human nature? Dan Brown did not emphasize this point, but through the expression of Professor Robert Langdon, we heard such doubts as to whether God is an absolute existence or only exists in human perception.
This is the difference between the West and the East, or the difference between ancient civilization and modern civilization. China is fortunate to be the complete inheritor of the only remaining ancient civilization. This is confirmed by its own history and modernity. Regardless of our civilization, art, philosophical system, or social form, religion is naturally involved, but it is people who always play a decisive role. Atheists have existed in China since ancient times, and there are many, because Master Confucius’s saying about ghosts and gods is "existence and disregard", which basically means 54. Confucius’s disciples are all over the world. Therefore, we can only talk about how superstitious ancient China was among the low-level people. The real big Confucianism is disdainful. In this set.
Our civilization has come over step by step in the restraint and self-reflection of human beings. God has come, but it has neither walked on water nor turned water into wine. Nuwa created man but worked together. I also touched Mount Zhou. The Tathagata Buddha is boundless, but the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were also married. When the Sanqing Taoist Temple was in full glory, the various gods in folklore were still struggling for love. In our paintings, there are landscapes, fish and insects before the characters, and finally the gods. My emperor has never been deposed because of a god. There have been uprisings under religious banners before, but they have also failed. Because the descendants of Yan and Huang, from the ancestors, they did not eat this set.
Our civilization has always been full of smoke and fire. We don't intend to be easily disturbed and controlled by others. We just want to live a good life. We worship God and make wishes because we believe that they are useful to us. When any civilization reaches N millennia, it will become so realistic.
The French are the fastest among the Europeans. The French emperor was the first to say "sovereign power" and toss the pope aside. They first proposed the separation of church and state, thus throwing God aside, and they were the first to cut off. The king's head was lost, and the imperial power was thrown aside. I asked the teacher how many Catholics in France are now, and the teacher who is a member of the French Communist Party has his head: there are quite a few who claim to be.
God has died in culture, although at one time it was the foundation of European civilization. The Gothic church is to get closer to it, the classical painting is to describe it better, the sculpture is to portray it, and the scrolls, the stained glass, everything.
I am a man with iron teeth, but I often do things that I think are nonsense. Is human beings really strong like this? Are you so strong that after falling into a dark well for a day and a night, do you still not pray, confess, hope and regret? Some people say that God is hope. If this is the case, God will always exist. From the moment when mankind knows to the day when mankind is extinct, if animals also have hope, God is at least with the earth. It is a pity We cannot confirm this.
Why can't hope be God? God has no form. It is what you like, how good it is. So divine nature can also be human nature. But some people don’t think so. Sir Leigh Teabing became the character I admire most in this novel. At the beginning, it was due to his profound knowledge and cute stereotype, but in the end, it was for him to be so pure. "human nature". The first time I discovered that the ultimate boss turned out to be a character that I can admire. Although his actions made me feel a little terrible, what he said was not wrong. How many assassins have been turned into heroes by history, and if he really gets rid of the gods If he has lived in bondage to this day, his behavior is not within the constraints of my moral standards at all.
The moment Sir Teabing failed, my feelings were really amazing. People can only choose their own position, and ask for those who are in the same position as yourself, and the person on the other side, you have no right to criticize him for being wrong, you can only say that he has chosen different interests than you, and we have been hurt. , Nothing more. You can't say that stinging your little bee is wrong, it's another creature that wants to live. And human beings do not become the same human beings just because they look like me. The taxonomy of biology is only useful in places other than the soul.
Pulling too far, let's go back to the movie. There are just a few movies, otherwise it is entertaining enough to make the audience feel like riding a roller coaster, romantic or exciting, and even happiness is one of them, or it is deep enough to make the audience's aftertaste like riding a tram, human nature Either society or even animals can be one of them. Otherwise, it's enough experimentation to make the audience's brain cells like a maze. I don't even want to mention this kind of movie. It's just a forehead sleepworm. The first one has a box office, and the last one has a prize.
Da Vinci Code happens to be a triumphant. Everyone is looking for the Holy Grail. Unlike Indiana Jonse, Professor Langdon is different from Indiana Jonse. The latter is from the gun to the knife, the beauty is from the indigenous people, and some are rushing and fighting and frowning. The former is pitiful, and the symbol is from the code, the priest. In the Bible, some are thinking about solving puzzles and historical issues. At any rate, there is Sophie beauty in the book hugging herself to comfort the professor's lonely heart. There is no such benefit in the movie.
A large part of the original book consists of inner monologues plus memories plus the author’s explanations. It is hard to entangle the entangled history, art and religious issues more closely, and the readers are wound like a ball of thread, and the movie has nothing to do. Maybe the full screen subtitles explain all these processes clearly, so I have to use the video. Naturally, the professor's dialogue can not be 100% normal. Some of them can only be internally OS, and normal people can't speak at all, so the professor has to tell the audience. Listen, otherwise the audience will not be able to follow the plot.
In terms of the plot, if the filming is the same as the original, you can make N movies like the Lord of the Rings, so you can save if you can, and if you can cut it, you can cut it, because it even cuts off the love scene between the professor and the beauty. NS. It's a pity that this is a treasure hunt game, and the specific steps are still the same, so a good treasure hunt legend after removing the beautiful hair, beautiful skin, and even muscles, only a set of running bones is left. It's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to abandon it.
At the beginning of entering Louvre, I feel that the rhythm is obviously fast, and the atmosphere has not come out. A puzzle has been solved, and the next one is followed. The audience is still adjusting their emotions, and the next puzzle is solved. Is this fun? ? Not fun. Until Sir Teabing appeared, the movie was also on the right track of a thriller. The bullets came, the conspiracy came, and the flashback came. At this time, my mood was up somehow, and gradually I was looking for the director's beat. , But the ending was obviously delayed in the end.
In terms of actors, I’m not saying that Tom Hanks is not good, but it’s always incompatible with the words handsome and handsome. Rober doesn’t need much acting skills to act, as long as he looks smart enough, A-Gump still needs to lose weight. . Audrey Tautou has always given me the feeling of an elf, which is naturally related to the role she has played, but this slender brunette, with big eyes, and slightly raised mouth always looks a little bit naughty. She wants to play a French woman. The police is still an expert in decoding, and he is less convincing. Among French actresses, she speaks English well, with the accent that was originally required in the original book, but she is fluent and expresses her emotions, but it seems that she was originally rich with this foreign language. His expressiveness is gone, not to mention Cannes reporters, even I was disappointed.
The film was criticized in Cannes. It is said that some reporters left the show halfway through, and the audience on my side also left before it was over. How to say it, this is a movie that I strongly recommend to forget the original work before going to see it. Maybe it is not disappointment, but can experience the fun of watching a movie. By the way, if you are a Chinese audience, you need to fill in the relevant religious knowledge in advance, and then ask me the silly question of the difference between Christianity and Catholicism.
