Watching The Da Vinci Code

As someone who hasn't read the original book, it's a thankless thing to comment on the film itself. Fans of the novel have mixed reviews on the film "The Da Vinci Code", with supporters saying that it reproduces the original thriller, and the actors' performances make it icing on the cake; dissatisfied people are quite critical of some bugs in the film. , is not satisfied with the choice of the protagonist. Indeed, it is not easy to tell a story in a novel with hundreds of pages in just 2 and a half hours. The jumping nature of the movie determines that it cannot be a complete copy of the novel - if it is completely copied, it will also require a movie what?

Before the movie was released, I didn't buy a copy of the original book, and I deliberately didn't read any introduction to the plot, because I didn't want to be swayed by preconceived things, so I watched the movie with a fresh attitude. However, the protagonists' poignant arguments and the intensity of the scenes do not help to understand the background of such a grand narrative. The pagan challenge to the foundation of the Christian faith attempts to shake and overthrow through genius reasoning. The meticulous thinking and self-justification of this process are weakened by the performance of the characters in the film. Of course, Tom Hanks and Angel Emily did their best, and so did Ron Howard. After watching the movie, even if you are still in the fog, their purpose has been achieved, that is, to accompany the protagonist to complete a struggle within 2 and a half hours, and the progress of the process has exceeded the result of decryption itself.

Whether it is a Puritan or a pagan, all kinds of human nature are manifested in the face of the beliefs they defend. Beauty, ugliness, interests, use and being used, disputes at the religious level are only appearances, and inner struggles are the source - at the end of the film, when Tom Hanks completed his epiphany in the Louvre, who can say that he really understood What about his psychic code?
