After reading this, there is an obvious feeling that it is still the same as when reading the upper part. The film is not as good as the book. What makes Dan's book amazing is that it covers a huge amount of unknown religious knowledge, and combines elements such as solving cases, suspense, adventure, crime, etc., to make use of dry and boring academic dead ends that are usually ignored. The most popular and exciting storytelling methods at the moment are connected one by one, and gradually open up the two veins of readers and supervisors. This exclusive brown brainwashing method will not cure you.
However, if you read his works carefully, you will find a pattern, every book has a routine. A semiotics professor, an intellectual female partner, a radical guardian, a villain, and a puzzle. Dan's novels are wonderful to read only, but they are boring to read, which shows that he is not born to write novels well.
This is like a series of American TV series, one episode and one case. When it's made into a movie, directors are bound to discover this easy-to-wrong path. In Angels and Demons, I really saw this ill, it was fresh and tasteless. Is it because Dan has tightened the limits of adapting the script too tightly, or the filmmakers really haven't negotiated well, or are they just trying to make money. In this movie, the big line is still going according to the original book. The plot setting is reasonable and reasonable, there is no abrupt or brilliant point, it is flat, and when it reaches the climax, it begins to amaze people. But what I worry about is that people who haven't read the original book can only grasp the rough clues of the film, which may be blurred. After all, this film looks like a ghost in the "end".
However, what I am more resentful of is that (here I will mention the title of the article), the essence of Dan's novel's thoughts and debates - the "ambiguousness" of the eternal entanglement of science and religion. The adaptation of the film did not highlight its theme, which is stunned! This topic is directly discussed in the film only in a few dialogues and scenes, and most of the scenes have given storytelling and riddles, even if there are very few places of extension and allusion, I wonder if people who have read the book and the film will think with me. Same, sorry! So science and religion did not fight.
