First of all, the plot of the movie reinforces the meticulous care of many people in reality for their beliefs, and even regard it as a lifelong effort. In fact, ancient and modern Chinese and foreign beliefs are much the same, nothing more than truth, goodness and beauty. In addition, in Europe there is the crucifixion of Jesus, and in China there are famous sayings that people suffer, their minds and bones are hungry, their bodies are starved, and their bodies are empty. These are all beliefs that encourage the mind. Lead people to a higher spiritual world, even ignoring the physical devastation.
In Europe, Christianity and Catholicism have always been the beliefs that people hold firmly in their hearts. Although they once served the ruling class, there are many believers who use the name of religion to make money and get kidnapped. The most terrifying thing is that many people live as slaves with a sense of guilt because of their excessive beliefs, restraining their thoughts. In China, Buddhism and Taoism used to be a tool for the ruling class, but now it has completely lost that kind of positive spiritual guidance. What is even more ironic is that many online posts jokingly ridicule that if you have no money, you will become a monk, and you will have food and housing. high salary.
People's desires are really terrible, and they can always use resources for their own use when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and even what they once believed in have become a weapon for their own wealth. If there is a belief that can be shared by everyone in China today, and the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty stimulates everyone's motivation, society will not be so impetuous, and people will not be numb. Modern cynics, do not resist If you don't argue that one set does another, you've already given up your ideals and still think you're sticking to your beliefs.

The Da Vinci Code quotes

  • Robert Langdon: There was every orb conceivable on that tomb except one. The orb which fell from the heavens and inspired Newton's life's work. Work that incurred the wrath of the Church... until his dying day. A-P-P-L-E. Apple.

  • Sophie Neveu: Maybe there is something about this Priory of Sion.

    Robert Langdon: I hope not. Any Priory story ends in bloodshed. They were butchered by the Church. It all started over a thousand years ago when a French king conquered the holy city of Jerusalem. This crusade, one of the most massive and sweeping in history, was actually orchestrated by a secret brotherhood, the Priory of Sion and their military arm, the Knights Templar.

    Sophie Neveu: But the Templars were created to protect the Holy Land.

    Robert Langdon: That was a cover to hide their true goal, according to this myth. Supposedly the invasion was to find an artifact lost since the time of Christ. An artifact, it was said, the Church would kill to possess.

    Sophie Neveu: Did they find it, this buried treasure?

    Robert Langdon: Put it this way: One day the Templars simply stopped searching. They quit the Holy Land and traveled directly to Rome. Whether they blackmailed the papacy or the Church bought their silence, no one knows. But it is a fact the papacy declared these Priory knights, these Knights Templar, of limitless power. By the 1300s, the Templars had grown *too* powerful. Too threatening. So the Vatican issued secret orders to be opened simultaneously all across Europe. The Pope had declared the Knights Templar Satan worshipers and said God had charged *him* with cleansing the earth of these heretics. The plan went off like clockwork. The Templars were all but exterminated. The date was October 13th, 1307. A Friday.

    Sophie Neveu: Friday the 13th.

    Robert Langdon: The Pope sent troops to claim the Priory's treasure, but they found nothing. The few surviving Knights of the Priory had vanished, and the search for their sacred artifact began again.

    Sophie Neveu: What artifact? I've never heard about any of this.

    Robert Langdon: Yes, you have. Almost everyone on earth has. You just know it as the Holy Grail.
