Langdon: We’re at least a half hour to Chelsea Library.
Having nothing to mansplain about, Robert complains about the wait.
Langdon then says these magical words:Īnd… then the film slows down as they find themselves sitting on a bus. 😉 )Īt 1 hour and 40 minutes into the 2 1/2 hour-long film, Langdon and Neveu are in London on the quest to find the Holy Grail. All for the love of reel librarians! I often watch bad movies so you do not have to. (And then I got cranky, because it meant I had to pause what I was doing and ACTUALLY start paying attention to the movie. I had honestly forgotten about the story’s library research scene until I rewatched it. But when I put it down, I thought, ‘What a load of… potential codswallop.'” From The Guardian, 2005 Clever Dan Brown twisted my mind convincingly. “While I was reading the book, I believed it entirely. I had read the book when it came out - a fact my loving spouse does not let me forget - and I chuckled at how McKellen described the experience of reading it: In the movie, Sophie is portrayed by French actress Audrey Tautou.“The Da Vinci Code (2006) Official Trailer 1 – Tom Hanks Movie” uploaded by Movieclips Classic Trailers, Standard YouTube Licenseīoth the book and the movie caused lots of controversy and were banned in several countries for its depiction of the Catholic Church and various conspiracy theories (see my 2017 post about banned reel librarian movies).
At the end of the book, she agrees to spend a week in Florence with Robert Langdon. (The surname Neveu is the French word for "nephew.") In fact, as she later finds out, her parents and ancestors had, for protection, changed their family names of Plantard and Saint-Clair. She first starts suspecting this when Sir Leigh Teabing reveals the truth of the Holy Grail, but dismisses the idea when Langdon tells her that neither her surname nor her grandfather's is a Merovingian name. Sophie finds out at the end of the book that she is a descendant of the Merovingians, and a living descendant of the historical Mary Magdalene and Jesus. The incident led to her estrangement with her grandfather for ten years until the night of his murder. Later, as a graduate student, she had arrived early for a spring-break visit to her grandfather's house in Normandy and, silently horrified, she had observed him participating in the Hieros Gamos, a sex ritual-with his own wife, who was believed to be dead. As a young girl, she accidentally discovered a strange key in her grandfather's room inscribed with the initials "P.S.". Her grandfather used to call her "Princesse Sophie" and trained her to solve complicated word puzzles. She was raised by her grandfather from an early age, after her parents were killed in a car accident. She is a French National Police cryptographer, who studied at the Royal Holloway, University of London Information Security Group. Sophie Neveu is the granddaughter of Louvre curator Jacques Saunière.
