The latest magazine listed the factors for the success of the Da Vinci Code movie version:
1. Stars gathered;
2. Appreciated by the Cannes Film Festival, set as the opening film;
3. The release date is quite good.

However, I think he is still more likely to fail.
1. 25 million people have read the original book, but the Da Vinci Code is not a magical story, and thrillers are most afraid of others knowing the answer.
2. If I only know the answer, I still intend to see the plot development. Unfortunately, the plot has also been announced to the world.
3. If it's another story, Hollywood screenwriters can make it look new and fresh. But if this story is adapted, I believe it will only get worse. The Da Vinci Code is a special case. For example, Murder on the Orient Express is as fascinating as a movie. The reason is that the details are well handled, but every detail of the original Da Vinci Code is a clue that cannot be modified casually, and the adaptation is even more difficult.

That being the case, I believe this will be a bad movie. Let time test it.

I wish I was slapped in the face by time, at least there is one more good movie in the world.

By the way, I would like to express my dissatisfaction with the "Watching Movie" magazine. While the magazine contributes wonderful film reviews, shameless touts abound. For example, the Wuji topic I did a while ago almost tricked me into going to the cinema, but I quickly smelled it: no faults + exaggerated praise, which made me rein in the precipice. This time, the comment on The Da Vinci Code can be seen as a gunman-type article translated from a foreign journal.

In movie magazines, only "New Movie" is more honest. But it seems to be discontinued, at least I can't buy it in Shanghai.

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?
