'The Da vinci code' , film
adaptation of the famous book of the same name written by Dan brown. It is the
first installment in a three section series. The movie is directed by Ron Howard and written
by Akira goldsman. The genre of both the book and movie is, mystery thriller.
The book is published in 2003 and film is released in 2006.Tom hanks plays the
major role as Robert Langdon
The curator of the Louvre museum,
Jacques Saunière,in Paris, is shot to death. The police found something written
near to his body in a coded language. Robert Langdon, famous symbologist is
called by the police to the crime scene. The code can be read only in a back
light. At the end of the message police found words indicating 'find Robert
Langdon.' Thus the police suspects him and put a tracker on him. Thats why the
police brings him there. It is revealed to him by Sophie Neveu, a police
cryptographer and Saunière's granddaughter. Lagdon breaks the code language and
starts to investigate the mystery behind his death along with sophie. His investigation
leads him to unexpected events and his life became more dangerous.
Tom Hanks makes Robert Langdon
truly open, given Hanks' everyman manner, and Audrey Tautou makes a convincing
Sophie Neveu. Ian McKellen, most likely THE on-screen character with 2 summer
blockbusters consecutive (the other being X-Men 3), is persuading as the rich
chalice tracker Sir Leigh Teabing. Paul Bettany is chilling as the pale skinned
person executioner Silas, and Jean Reno and Alfred Molina gather together the
ritzy give a role as the investigator Captain Fache and Bishop Aringarosa.
Much is said about the eerie
soundtrack, yet to the extent I'm mindful, there's nothing alarming about it.
Silas, in his scene of self-purging, is sufficiently horrendous however, just
like a few scenes of sudden on screen savagery that hit like a sack of potatoes
tumbling from the sky.
Ron Howard's jazzy way to deal
with the film incorporates fascinating camera points, particularly in the
flying shots of such extraordinary area locales as the Louver in the Paris and
the Rosslyn sanctuary in Scotland. Obviously Howard needed not only an activity
picture; however a lackadaisical paced retelling of Dan Brown's story. There
was likewise the keen utilization of close-ups in the more cozy minutes with a
splendid logical scene analyzing the questionable "chalice" evident
in Leonardo's "Last Supper."
Generally, the film was fittingly
dim and touchy. The flashback groupings were shot in a grainy style that
appeared differently in relation to the activity pressed story of Robert
Langdon and Sophie Neveu. Salvatore Totino merits the most elevated applause
for his classy yet innovative camera work.
This one has good technical
aspects compared to some other movies. It discusses a different theme which
questions the believes and truths. The book had created so many controversies
which leads to ban in certain countries. The movie had good thrilling elements,
twists, suspense, etc. but fails at some points due to unwanted lag. The twists
in the movie are really interesting and it keeps us stick to the story. Overall
it’s a good one to watch for thriller mystery lovers
