mediocre movie

Adapted from Dan Brown's best-selling novel around the world, it brings together a super-luxurious lineup of top French and American powerhouses and rising stars. The scene shooting of the novel and various reports have made this much-anticipated blockbuster hot before its release.
Although I have always disliked movies with big hype, I was unavoidable for such movies and hurriedly went to the cinema to feast my eyes. I bought a special ticket of 30 yuan. (I still feel a little distressed. I remembered that it was not worth watching "Promise" last year). The surround sound and wide screen of Zhengda still feel quite good. The only drawback is that the air conditioner is too strong and it freezes. I was shivering when I wanted to wear a beautiful dress that day, and my stomach was so cold that I had to go out to solve it. Unfortunately, I missed a scene where Hanks fought against the president of the Swiss Bank. Hey, thinking about it is really a mistake, come next time Be sure to wear warm clothes when watching a movie in Chia Tai, even if it is 38 degrees outside.
The film is a little more than two hours long, the plot is very affectionate, there is no feeling of procrastination, and basically all the key details in the original work are reproduced (I haven't read the book before, according to the friends on the side of the book The residual impression of the book is summarized. ), the performances of several leading actors in the film are also relatively satisfactory, although there are fewer surprises for the two big stars Hanks and Audrey Cato, but it is Sarah who is an ascetic and a loyal killer of the bishop. The actor who looks like a Baihua patient, and the actor of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings are more surprising. Recently, I learned that Silas is played by British actor Paul Bettana in Universal Pictures on Channel 8. He has performed well in many well-known films. I have seen a few of them, but I have never noticed it. This super supporting role has been hidden under the aura of big names.
Walking out of the cinema, some plots and clues are still lingering in my mind, especially the scene where Hanks finally stands on the crystal pyramid and sees through the sarcophagus of Maria, which seems to be quite suggestive and profound. But in general, "The Da Vinci Code" is still a commercial film and an entertainment blockbuster, but I still have to admire how people abroad can combine entertainment with history, culture, and religion so perfectly. It also dared to completely subvert the origin of Christianity, although it was still humanistic and opposed to the theme of religion suppressing human nature, which also made this entertainment blockbuster have a spiritual sublimation, especially the Holy Grail A bold interpretation of the true meaning, and it seems to have a feminist undertone. I can imagine the shock this book brought to Western society when it was published, and I can imagine the strong reaction from Christians. But for most audiences, especially Chinese audiences, what they pay more attention to is the puzzles in the film, the unraveling of the hints one by one, from the various hints left by the curator at the beginning, to the cracking of the cipher cylinder, to Newton's The exploration of the cemetery and the Rose Forest Church, to the unveiling of Sophia's life experience. (I really admire the author's imagination and the ability to connect various details perfectly).
After reading "The Da Vinci Code", I always feel that if China's history, religion, and major famous resorts can also be written into novels with this suspenseful and exploratory storyline, it will definitely sell well and sell well. I am afraid that I will write suspense novels. Some people do not have enough historical accumulation, while those who are familiar with history and religion do not have such imagination. In addition, Chinese reasoning has to use the traditional Chinese decryption method. That makes no sense, but the study of ancient Chinese decryption symbols may still be a blank.
