Sophie leaned forward and kissed him again, now on the lips. Their bodies came together, softly at first, and then completely. When she pulled away, her eyes were full of promise.” (Dan Brown 2003) The love between Robert and Sophie was not interpreted in the movie adaptation by Ron Howard ]]> 2017-06-17 18:32:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bauernschmitta/y0bip84aqfel/wish/176732698 Sophie’s family bauernschmitta https://padlet.com/bauernschmitta/y0bip84aqfel/wish/176732706

  • Sophie, Langdon, Silas, Teabing, and his servant, Rémy, escape and board Teabing’s private plane to England. 
  • Sophie realizes that the writing on the cryptex is decipherable if viewed in a mirror. 
  • They come to understand the poem, which refers to “a headstone praised by Templars” and the “Atbash cipher,” which will help them arrive at the password to the cryptex. Langdon remembers that the Knights Templar supposedly worshipped the god Baphomet, who is sometimes represented by a large stone head. 
  • The word, unscrambled by the Atbash Cipher, is “Sofia”. 
  • When they open the cryptex, however, they find only another cryptex, this one with a clue about a tomb where a knight was buried by a Pope. 
  • They must find the orb that should have been on the knight’s tomb.

    Movie: They fight over portions of his explanation.

    Book: Fache suspects Langdon is responsible for Sauniere's death because his name was written on the floor.

    Movie: He is told by Arigosa that he overheard Langdon confess to the murder.

    Book: Robert and Sophie find a message on Newton's tomb, that Teabing is in College Hall, a nearby building. There they find Teabing.
    Teabing doesn't leave a note. He forces them into the hall at gunpoint.

    Movie:  There are many references to Robert's adventure in Angels and Demons. This is vaguely mentioned because those events occur in the prequel.

The movie had less detail, but didn’t have any major differences to affect the plotline of the movie or book. The movie presented the basic idea of the book and did a good job of portraying the book on the big screen. It kept major key components and ideas found in the book as an effort to fully understand the story that was trying to be told without changing the main goal. Yes, once the book was read, it bothered me to rewatch the movie with less detail, character background, and history, which to be honest made the movie feel a bit empty. I still enjoyed both the film and the novel but felt like I was still craving more content after the film where for me the novel felt more complete. ]]> 2017-06-17 18:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bauernschmitta/y0bip84aqfel/wish/176732805 The Da Vinci Code Trailer bauernschmitta https://padlet.com/bauernschmitta/y0bip84aqfel/wish/176869560 2017-06-19 14:24:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bauernschmitta/y0bip84aqfel/wish/176869560
