What matters is what you believe

Some say the film has a first-rate atmosphere. I totally agree with this. The picture of the whole film is full of the texture of European oil painting, and many shots are beautifully shot. In addition to the one at the end, I was also impressed by the scene when Professor Langdon finally deciphered the code of the cryptex. He stood in the empty church, the image of Newton's tomb faded in mid-air, the solar system on the tombstone, and the carvings of the planets turned gently in front of him, like a divine revelation waiting to be captured, the inspiration jumped out at that moment and surpassed thinking itself. I especially like its soundtrack, which always fits the trend of the plot and creates a tense and suspenseful atmosphere. It is a work that can add points to the movie.

After all, "The Da Vinci Code" is different from other best-selling books. It contains too many backgrounds and knowledge points such as religion, symbols, and history. It is very complicated. Procrastination is impossible. In short, I always think that such a film is better to read the book first and then watch the movie, so that you can focus most of your energy on watching the acting instead of trying to keep up with the rhythm of the story to figure out the plot. Of course, my abilities are limited.

There is a line that says, what matters is what you believe. Well, I think that's true. Although there were some parts of the film that I still didn't understand, when the film was over and the lights came on, I leaned back in the comfortable seat and said, "Awesome!"

As far as the performance of the actors, whether it's Tom Hanks or Audrey Tatu, or Jean Reno, doesn't seem to surprise me too much, on the contrary, I think the best character in the whole film is that day. The albino killer of the main ministry. A ghostly albino killer with complex and simple emotions, paranoid and fanatical beliefs. His eyes, his language, and his expressions all reveal all kinds of tangled emotions all the time. When he murmured prayers and lashed his body in the face of the icon, he clearly felt the pain of a soul that was almost as light as nothingness.

Well, overall, I think the movie is still pretty good. It's not as good as initially expected, but it's by no means useless. If, on a 10-point scale, I would give it a 7.

Oh, it's still worth seeing.

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?
