"The Da Vinci Code"

People who have read "The Da Vinci Code" like to despise people who haven't read it. If you don't see it, it's a form of outdated. If you don't see it, you're not a human being. I don't have any beliefs, but I do believe in the existence of aliens. So, with the original intention of deciphering Christianity as a search for aliens, I finally read the book. If you read it on the computer, you won't buy the book, and you won't be bothered to borrow it.
Maybe I'm too smart, I guessed almost all the passwords of the sequence in the first half, and the letters were replaced - sorry, I didn't study at the National Security Bureau, so I had to look at it like a "crop circle". However, the curiosity that couldn't help but asked early - it turned out that the good man was the mastermind - he went crazy, got crazy, and thought that someone would always sacrifice.
I read about 85% of the book and didn't bother to read any further. It seems that the secrets about Christianity do not appeal to me as much as the secrets of aliens.
Then there is the movie. Chaochao must watch it on Sunday. The Oscar at 11:45 was full (except for the first and second rows, I never thought they counted as seats). After a long ad, the deciphering journey begins.
Let me tell you the first piece of information I learned about the film. The person with albinism is a handsome guy. The second piece of information is that Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings is the one who played the jazz. Can such a righteous grandfather play the villain?
After an hour and a half, someone left. Chaochao and I felt that it would be impossible to continue guessing the lines like this. The water and food were gone, but the movie still had to be watched.
Suddenly, I realized something I never wanted to understand in college. Literature and film are not the same.
I have seen a lot of movies, and then read the original novel, I think the novel is good, and the film adaptation is good. Personal viewing and reading are limited, but it is obvious from the fifth-generation directors that many of the best films of the fifth-generation directors are all adapted from famous novels. Again, do not list them one by one.
I have seen many foreign films, the title of which will be "Based on...", and I know that Hollywood has changed almost all the novels it deserves. It's just that we didn't have a chance to see the original. Well, for the few cases where I watched the book first and then the movie, we had to watch the movie "The Da Vinci Code" and compare it to the book. This comparison is over and the
director is gone! ! This is my biggest problem with the movie. By the end, Tom Hanks was too faithful to the original plot until he found Jesus' wife buried in the Louvre. I want to express everything, and I don't want to throw away everything, so everything is sloppy. If I hadn't read the book, I really don't know what a man and a woman are doing, it's just "I guess, I guess, I guess." Director Ron Howard, my impression of him is still "A Beautiful Mind". It is undeniable that after I saw it, I felt that it really deserved an Oscar. At that time, it was no exaggeration to use shock to describe my feeling after watching it. However, Ron Howard disappeared in "The Da Vinci Code"...
In addition to the director's disappearance, the actor's performance is also within the rules, and there is no room for the role to play. Tom Hanks, I'm still moved by the foreigner who wandered the airport, he made me cry in "Happy Terminal" in his English with a Middle Eastern accent, and "Emily" is already an angel The world is gone, there is no spiritual energy. Don't French women stop watching when they get old? Audrey Tudor was no worse than Juliette Binoche, who was amazing at that age.
I'm a movie bug spoiled by special effects. I watched a lot of literary films in college, and now I almost don’t get involved, unless it’s a famous erotic film, maybe I go to watch it. I have watched a lot of B-grade films, horror films, "Death Terminal" series, "Alien" series, "Scream" series, Japanese experimental films, etc. Recently, I plan to watch "Nightmare Street" series. My preference for movies skews towards horror, gore, a little porn and all kinds of aliens and mutant monsters. A "blockbuster" without computer special effects can't be watched, and it is very consistent with "The Da Vinci Code", just "the ball that fell from the sky" and the ending part, this is a real set and location film.
The last half hour of the two and a half hours was really hard for Chaochao and I. We complained to each other, and then continued to announce the next line. Suddenly thought, how would we rate this film if we hadn't seen the original. Then I agreed that I shouldn't understand it. There are too many things to explain, too fast, and someone will choke... In the
end, I decided to never read the original book for the best-selling book adapted into a movie. So don't watch Harry Potter etc. "The Lord of the Rings" can be seen, because it has been filmed.



ps:
I haven't talked about a movie in such a serious way for a long time. "The Da Vinci Code" is a lucky one.
