Professor Tom's appearance was quite disturbing, as if Hanks showed the fans that he could still move, or told the audience that Hanks was going to suffer many physical labors in the back. But a few switches from underwater photography to getting out of the water looked enjoyable. A healthy rock professor who is considered naughty by the Christian world (because of "The Da Vinci Code"), and who wants to enter the Vatican database to find information and write books to make money, not bad.
Next, the exchange between Ivan and Hanks in the Pope's office was quite exciting. The actors, lines, shots, color and lighting (the yin and yang faces that played a role) were all in place and fascinating. Roger Ebert also said:
The professor has a fascinating exchange with the Camerlengo, who asks him if he believes in God. He believes, he says, that the existence is God is beyond his mind to determine. "And your heart?" asks the priest. "My heart is not worthy." Agnostics and believers can both find something to agree with there; director Ron Howard does an even-handed job of balancing the scales.
(The professor has an excellent conversation with the waiter, who asks the professor if he believes in God. The professor says that his reason tells him if God exists beyond his reason. "And what about your heart?" "Being in God requires talent, I Probably not that kind of talent.” Both atheists and believers were able to find agreement in the dialogue, and it’s a testament to how well director Ron Howard found balance.)
Into the tense race against time, interspersed with beautiful On a day trip to Rome, the historical objects full of stories are fascinating. The Pantheon, the Sistine, and St. Peter's Square are even more beautiful at night. In the middle of the database hypoxia episode, it has a bit of "Outcast" flavor - no language, Hanks' one-man show.
Looking back at the death of the first candidate, the carrion lay quietly in the corner of the church, the second fell on one side of the square, causing a small commotion, the third was burned, and there was also a fight between the killer and the police at the scene. , the three murders are in-depth, and the thrilling points are added.
Obviously, this film is much better than "The Da Vinci Code" in terms of tension and visuals, especially Ivan's perfect performance in front of many believers in the square, which made me really think that an angel was coming, but in my heart I still think Ivan is unreliable-because the professor should obviously be angel, so the demon must be him. The explosion effect of antimatter is amazing!
In the end, the big reversal still unavoidable a little bluntness. Reversing the drama has always been likely to offend some viewers - as the film progresses for more than 2 hours, at the end of the day, I will overthrow the movie viewing world view I established before, and some people will still feel uncomfortable, especially watching the reversal After more dramas.
In the end, it is unknown whether the professor's intervention was really God's will, even if the professor still calls himself a scholar - this is the creepiest!
