What do you want to know?

Maybe due to translation reasons, Chinese novels are not so good-looking, and because too many religious, historical and other factors are involved, it is more difficult to fully understand them.

If you watch the movie directly, I believe that many Chinese people may not be able to understand it. Even if you see the main line of the story, it is difficult to understand the right and wrong between the characters. Saying this, maybe it's because I'm too stupid. After reading the novel and watching the movie, I feel that I understand some of the mysteries in the middle.

It is understandable to read the comments that it was boycotted. After all, the basic Da Vinci Code is viewed from a pagan point of view, although the film is somewhat neutral in its interpretation of religion. Especially for a country like China that does not understand the history of Christianity, it is easier to misunderstand that the Da Vinci Code is history.

The truth can never be known, just like the members of the Priory in the movie did not disclose their secrets, a lie told a thousand times is the truth, and if it is announced, people may not necessarily believe it. Sometimes, secrets automatically reveal the truth.

However, I believe that many people will fall in love with semiotics and religious studies because of this. After all, it looks very interesting, especially if you are one of the few who know the truth.

The Da Vinci Code quotes

  • Robert Langdon: Have you ever heard those words before, Sophie, "so dark the con of man"?

    Sophie Neveu: No. Have you?

    Robert Langdon: When you were a child, were you aware of any secret gatherings? Anything ritualistic in nature? Meetings your grandfather would have wanted kept secret? Was there ever any talk of something called the Priory of Sion?

    Sophie Neveu: The what? Why are you asking these things?

    Robert Langdon: The Priory of Sion is a myth. One of the world's oldest and most secret societies with leaders like, uh, Sir Isaac Newton, da Vinci himself. The fleur-de-lis is their crest. They're guardians of a secret they supposedly refer to as "the dark con of man."

    Sophie Neveu: But what secret?

    Robert Langdon: The Priory of Sion protects the source of God's power on Earth.

  • Andre Vernet: Forgive the intrusion. I'm afraid the police arrived more quickly than I anticipated. You must follow me, please. For your own safety.

    Sophie Neveu: You knew they were coming?

    Andre Vernet: My guard alerted me to your status when you arrived. Yours is one of our oldest and highest-level accounts. It includes a safe-passage clause.

    Robert Langdon: Safe passage?

    Andre Vernet: [opening the back of an armored truck] If you step inside, please. Time is of the essence.

    Robert Langdon: [nervously, seeing the limited space available] In there?
