When Famous Paintings Meet Religion

This film should belong to the expert's way of watching the door, and the layman to watch the excitement. There is an endless stream of Western religious and cultural terms, making the film look rather obscure. However, it is precisely because of the obscurity that you pay close attention to every detail.
Let’s talk about how you feel about the characters in the movie.
Langton - the hero in the film, a professor of semiotics at Harvard University, a genius who is absolutely knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Accidentally got into this religious contest. He's a historical cop, and in the film, he jokingly calls himself Sophie. Indeed, he is a historian and archaeologist who uses passwords to restore the truth, distinguishing the truth from falsehoods, analyzing history, and restoring the truth. The fear of taking the elevator and the darkness stemmed from an accident that nearly killed him when he fell into a well when he was a child. At the end of the film, when he knew that Sophie was the continuation of the lineage of Jesus, he told Sophie about his experience of falling into the well, because of prayer Jesus blesses and lives by that belief. In fact, the external voice of this sentence is expressed very naturally-whether Jesus is a god, or a god before a man (because of religious needs, it is a myth), or a man at all (he also left blood descendants) ), these are not important, the important thing is that he really helped a lot of people, everyone needs faith. I like Hollywood-style expressions. I won't say the overtones, but let you comprehend it yourself. People see people, and wise people see wisdom. And Chinese playwrights and screenwriters and directors like to tell the truth and treat the audience as idiots.
Sophie - In fact, the impression of her is better than nothing. She is also a key soul character in the play, but she does not have the eccentric feeling of acting, which is very mediocre. I feel that choosing her as the continuation of the bloodline of Jesus is a bit of a nuisance. So, for her, I don't want to say anything more. skip.
Silas - Dervish, a member of Opus Dei. He is an important person who promotes the development of the plot in the film, and has a very deep influence on him. The one who is devout to the point of madness, has no ego at all, has no thought except for loyalty, and is also a victim of religion. The appearance of such believers is really a distortion of religion. Watching him wear that penance belt, beat himself with a whip, kneel down in front of the statue of Jesus every day, and then kill people like numbness. Religions are all kind, and they do not advocate killing, but what about killing in the name of religion? Is it innocent? In the film, he is a blind admirer. As long as the bishop instructs him, he will execute it without negotiation, but he can't hate him. He feels that he is a downright tragic figure. Such a person should not laugh. There is nothing to laugh at, it seems that he is the life of redemption. I think this character, the actor's performance is very good, as soon as he appears on the stage, there is a terrifying feeling.
Ray - a fanatic who revealed the secrets of the "Holy Grail" turned out to be the man behind everything. But he revealed the secret of the "Holy Grail" in order to subvert traditional religions. In the same way, Bogutongjin's old man and Langton were still slightly inferior in the contest.
Let. The French policeman played by Reynolds is also lackluster, but he is just a pawn used by others, not much to say.
This film, for people who are not familiar with Western history and religion, will look very tiring, but, cleverly, all of this, the film uses Da Vinci as the main line of parsing the password. Leonardo da Vinci and his "Mona Lisa's Smile", few people in the world will not know. So, in the film, we see the demonized Da. Finch and the master's famous paintings, as well as Newton's gravitation have also become encrypted. The American imagination once again convinced me. In a country without history, the imagination can really be extravagant, there is no psychological burden, there is no historical stereotype, and some are just imagination. People all over the world have followed a piece of suspense and solved this shocking "truth".
Passwords are breathtaking. A man who was shot and dying could also set passwords one after another, with such thoughtful consideration. After all, setting these passwords still requires people to unravel the mystery. If the facts are to be concealed, why leave clues. So why not let the password go to hell, why let someone who can solve it solve such a password. What is the position? How should we deal with something that has been considered truth for 2,000 years? After Copernicus proposed the heliocentric theory, he was called a heretic and was hanged, so today's religion is much more tolerant.
The power of religion is really powerful, and what it alludes to is the power of people's beliefs. This power, if used well, is an upward force, a force of justice, and if it is used by people with ulterior motives, it is a terrible loyal, cold-blooded soldier, evolved into a terrorist, and made some people in the world. Incomprehensible things. Great good and great evil are related to religion.
Watching this film, we just want to be entertained, not to pursue history. For religion, we only need to be good, not evil. How can it be called faith if it is not something beautiful?
Overall, the film is worth watching.
