One movie is enough

I bought the book "The Da Vinci Code" in January last year, and watched the movie "The Da Vinci Code" a few days ago. Some thoughts are chatted to record.
1. The film is faithful to the original, very faithful, basically unchanged, this is a rare honest screenwriter in the history of film adaptation. But being too faithful brings actual betrayal, which makes the movie not as thrilling and beautiful as the novel.
2. Some people say that the rhythm of the movie should be slower, so that the audience can understand the religion inside. In fact, I think it is very easy to understand, not esoteric. It is enough to understand the differences between the two factions on the existence of Jesus.
3. What is the name of the woman in the cast? It doesn't match the feeling in the original book. The original book says that "this woman has an unadorned health and beauty, and she exudes amazing self-confidence", but it can't be seen in the movie. What is the man's name? I know that he played Forrest Gump. As a person born in 1956, he is indeed older and lacks the demeanor of a scholar.
4. The special effects of the movie are very cute. For example, in front of Newton's tomb, the replay of the 18th century phantom is very interesting. At the end of the movie, I also felt that the final worship of the Holy Grail was filmed.
5. Why are most of the policemen in the movies stupid? The Anglican Inspector in "The Da Vinci Code" is no exception, but fortunately, he is enlightened.
6. The scenery is good. The Louvre and a host of other churches and castles dazzled me.
7. I flipped through the novel just now and found that it seemed quite strange, so read it again when it's okay.
8. One movie is enough.

    Hanks is awesome! I haven't read the original, but I feel that many places are always so weak. After reading the original, I will read it again.

The Da Vinci Code quotes

  • Sir Leigh Teabing: If it's so important for you to stop us, then you're just going to have to shoot us.

    [nods to indicate Remy]

    Sir Leigh Teabing: You can start with him.

  • Sophie Neveu: A cryptex. They are used to keep secrets. It's da Vinci's design. You write the information on a papyrus scroll which is then rolled around a thin glass vial of vinegar. If you force it open, the vial breaks, vinegar dissolves papyrus, and your secret is lost forever. The only way to access the information is to spell out the password with these five dials, each with 26 letters. That's 12 million possibilities.

    Robert Langdon: I've never met a girl who knew *that* much about a cryptex.

    Sophie Neveu: Saunière made one for me once.

    Robert Langdon: My grandfather... gave me a wagon.
