The Da Vinci Code
久未動筆的另一藉口,是一連數天在追看<達文西密碼>這本小說。
Tom Hanks 是我很喜愛的演員,原本買書是為即將上映的電影「打底」,沒想到小說本身出乎意料的精彩,故事引人入勝,情節天馬行空得來彷彿又能自圓其說,難怪2003年出版時引起全球哄動。
我很欣賞會做資料搜集的寫作人,即使他們寫的是虛構故事。像這種尋寶式的推理故事,場地背景設計得宜的話,確會使人有一探羅孚宮的衝動,或是重新觀看達文西作品,企圖引證作者Dan Brown在書中提示的點點玄機。
不過,此書最惹爭議仍是其大膽的情節設計,包括「耶蘇曾經結婚並有血脈留存世上」、「聖經乃由異教徒編訂修改」以及「新約是偽經」等等。上網找尋有關資料,發現此書引起的迴響成千上萬,譽論或是駁斥或是支持,連羅馬教廷也有一篇FQA放在網上供教友參考。細讀各方論証,旁徵博引,是對歷史和神學的另一次學習。我認為一本好的小說不只是訴說故事,而是會使人思考問題以及尋找更多的解讀,此書無疑成功地做到這一點。
如果你是推理小說迷,我會絕對推介此書;如果你對聖經故事略有認識,此書或可帶你進入前所未有的聯想世界;至於有人担心此書宣揚異端邪說,會動搖人對上主的信心,我看是過慮了,如果區區小說故事會影響一個人的宗教信仰,有問題的該是那人而不是作者Dan Brown.
書中資料之多,情節之豐富,不知兩個半小時的電影能兼顧多少,非常熱切期待五月十八日全球公映!

Personally I object the idea of letting Tom Hanks to play a Harvard Prof. who has an European touch. He's way too'American' and I think Sophie Marceau is better than Audrey Tatou too...but then this is Hollywood. A bit put off by the choice of the main cast but I guess I'll still watch the movie.
I swallow the book in less than a week.
But the early candidates for the role of Dr. Robert Langdon are Hugh Jackman, George Clooney and Russell Crowe. I think comparatively Tom Hanks is a much better choice. Do you think so?
I finished the book in 3 days, just could not put it down!
If you are merely talking about "visual enjoyment", I opt for Hugh Jackman :P
Hello Aunt Small,
Will it be a boring movie?

Hi Pig Pig,
Thank you for your comment!
I think it's going to be a fun movie!

Yes, the novel is really absorbing that I can’t put the book down. However, I doubt whether the movie will be as good as the novel.
