I used to look forward to seeing the adapted movie, but I once gave up hope because of the mediocrity of the movie "The Da Vinci Code". Now, after years of waiting, I finally made up my mind.

A lot of saliva, but not unpleasant (note: spoiler bird~): 1) The plot of the movie developed too fast and lacked foreshadowing, so the originally intricate relationship between religion and science was simplified into a plain and plain opposition; 2) Landon's reasoning process originally covered a lot of knowledge of the Renaissance, but only a few necessary keywords were retained in the movie. Those who haven't read the original book will probably be confused; 3) The black evil star should have been It is a dazzling villain, which surprised me in the movie, and his skills are very extraordinary, but this image is really different from what I imagined; 4) The last cardinal not only saved his life in the movie, but also acted as a With the Pope, the original sharp irony is gone; 5) Ivan's chamberlain was originally the Pope's illegitimate son, and was harmoniously become an adopted son, perhaps due to religious pressure; 6) The ending - a lot of changes in the whole movie I can Ignore it, but this harmonious ending is a mess, and it's so wrong. Landon was supposed to get on the helicopter, but instead he became a foolish outsider on the ground watching, and all the credit went to a maid who was dancing around with a parachute, swaying and swaying ridiculously. Ivan will set himself on fire in the manner of a martyr.

Speaking of good things, Tom Hanks is still as calm as ever, and he alone is worthy of novels. Students who haven't read the novel might as well simply regard it as a suspense movie, to get some psychological stimulation. The beauty of the Vatican and Rome is still a visual treat. The antimatter explosion is indeed shocking, the most impressive scene in the whole play.

The final conclusion is: those who haven't read the book may not be able to understand the interlocking of the plots of the movie, and those who have read the book are likely to think that the movie is too simple and harmonious - so, think of it as POPCORN MOVIE, In this way, there will be no negative effects of psychological imbalance.

Angels & Demons quotes

  • Richter: He said they'd be killed publicly.

    Robert Langdon: Yes. Revenge... for La Purga.

    Richter: La Purga?

    Robert Langdon: Oh, geez, you guys don't even read your own history, do you? 1668, the Church kidnapped four Illuminati scientists and branded each one of them on the chest with the symbol of the cross... to purge them of their sins, and they executed them. Threw their bodies out into the street as a warning to others to stop questioning Church ruling on scientific matters. They radicalized them. The Purga created a darker, more violent Illuminati, one bent on... on retribution.

  • Robert Langdon: I need access to the Vatican Archives.

    Inspector Olivetti: Professor, I don't think this is the appropriate moment.

    Richter: Your petition has been denied seven times.

    Robert Langdon: No, no. This has nothing to do with my work. The Path of Illumination is a hidden trail through Rome itself that leads to the Church of the Illumination, the place where the Illuminati would meet in secret. If I can find the Segno, the sign, that marks the beginning of that path, the four churches along it may be where he intends to murder your Cardinals. One every hour at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00. Then the device explodes... at midnight. If we can figure out the first church and get there before he does, may be we can stop it. But I can't find the start of the path until I get into the Archives.

    Richter: Even if I wanted to help you, access to the Archives is only by written decree by the curator and the Board of Vatican Librarians.

    Robert Langdon: Or by papal mandate.

    Richter: Yes, but as you no doubt have heard, the Holy Father is dead.

    Robert Langdon: What about Il Carmerlengo?

    Richter: The Carmerlengo is just a priest here, the former Pope's chamberlain.

    Robert Langdon: Doesn't the power of the Holy See rest in him during Tempo Sede Vacante?

    [all the Vatican police men look at each other, with various degrees of doubt and uncertainty]

    Robert Langdon: Fellas... you called me.
