Pretty impressive that Alfred Molina managed to look around 45 years old in 1981, 50 years old in 2002, and 55 years old in 2021.
If you can afford the makeup artist you can look whatever age you want. 🙂
He’ll be 70 in the year 2525.
and some actors still look like a child no matter the age, like leo & tobey.
@@ianw0ng
"Like Leo"
If you mean DiCaprio, I disagree. I was struck by the fact that in "Titanic" he was 22 at the time of filming and looked like he was 17, while in "Inception" he was 35 and looked like he was 50.
He is The Devil, after all.
“Erm…second darkest” set against Alfred Molina’s facial expression is absolute perfection! 😂
It's a joke that some are up in arms about "Groomers", yet don't seem to know about what the Catholic church has been doing.
@@TighelanderII: it's not just the Catholic. It's also in the Southern Baptists, Evangelicals, Mormons, and Jehovah's Witnesses.
@@troyjardine5850 Yeah, and the Boy Scouts too.
This reminds me of a skit from "The Ben Stiller Show". It was a parody of the Tom Cruise film at the time, "A Few Good Scouts". The guy playing Nicholson says something like, "...and half the parents think I'm molesting their sons".
lol i peed a little laughing at that part
@@troyjardine5850You left out Muslims
"With the only three paintings Americans can name." Wow, Honest Trailers does not miss.
Hey, I like Nighthawks and The Great Wave off Kanagawa too!
Honestly? I'd say we would only get two out of three of those right. But we could probably add American Gothic or Whistler's Mother!
I could only name 2 of them so....
laughs nervously in art student
@@EmperorSethyou give us way to much credit. A starry night by Van Gogh maybe, but anything above that’s a no. I legit don’t know what the second painting you said even is
“There’s Something About Mary”
Hands down that’s the best title y’all have ever done!!!! That slayed me!!!! 😂😂😂
Literally LOL. Well done!
Absolutely brilliant
KOS-MOS?...Oh No sorry Wrong Mary...
That was pretty fantastic.
The "french law requires Leon the Professional and Amelie to be in the movie" line really cracked me up
And he isn’t even French
@@martinlymer9535wdym? Jean Reno is french.
@@youliseas5711 Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez? :D
@@humorpalanta he's not born in France, but he is french
Wish they made more Amélie references!
It's so much better when you do older films than ones that just came out. There's more perspective on the older ones to better tear them apart.
Yes! I hope they listen to you.
Especially when they're getting a new sequel coming out and you discover this is an ad for it
Both are good! For the more recent movies they allude to current events. They're probably gonna make a submarine joke soon.
You should take a look at the view count of this one and compare it to honest trailers for more recent films.
These are clearly written by (and for) people, who witnessed these movies and the times fresh, when they came out. So no awkward jokes for zoomers!
Fun fact:
There was a small article I read in a UK newspaper a few years ago about charity shops basically saying "STOP giving us Da Vinci Code books!".
Their shelves were packed with them.
50 Shades of Gray is the Davinci Code of now. It's everywhere.
@@elgersmamboth had good soundtrack
@@elgersmam Now I know why the Nazis burned books. (That's a joke, UA-cam.) Da Vinci Code and 50 Shades should be used for toilet paper in the coming future lol
Similar problem in New Zealand. Dan Brown, Wilbur Smith, Mave Binchy, Daniel Steel, 50 Shades, Helen Fielding, etc are in every charity shop.
I had a bet going with my brother-in-law that we'd see at least three Da Vinci codes on sale at the small local flea market. Could've gone higher tbh, saw it 5 times in one street. (also how on earth do people keep a paperback that crisp for 20 years? Do they just not read them?)
What was crazy was when the book came out in 2003 how much the church freaked out and how many people were like, "Is the stuff in this obviously fictional book really true?"
Dan Brown leaned heavily into "this is the hidden truth" in interviews. (Even if he was using an origin story for the Priory of Sion the Priory of Sion no longer claims)
Well they do tend to take fictional stories literally 😂
I also remember him refusing to let there be the typical premovie disclaimer saying: inspired by fictional events no connection to any real people etc etc
The Catholic Church reaction was the best thing happened to the book. Loads of free advertisement.
Are you talking about the bible?
Paul Bettany LITERALLY shines. Thanks for the laugh.
Maybe I'll watch it just for him and Alfred, okay and Jean
He's like one of those glow-in-the-dark stickers 😅
"There's Something About Mary" = slow clap. well played team, well played.
I remember the da vinci code hype (book and movie) but I never read or saw it -- seeing the plot points now I am honestly the most impressed someone 2000 years ago has a bloodline that connects to just a SINGLE person
The end scene is my favourite in any movie. Tom Hanks narrating whilst walking through Paris following The Rose Line. Chevaliers De Sangreal by Hans Zimmer playing over it. It's such a great scene.
Agree. This is one of the best finales.
Agreed. At the end of the day, this movie at least gifted us one of the most amazing pieces of music. I only wish it was longer. It is only equaled in my opinion by his other end credits theme, for Gladiator.
My all time favorite Zimmer song
Aside from the OST, this movie is quite simply very well shot. I'm surprised at how many scenes in both it and Angels & Demons (not counting the third one, forgot the name even) I actually like returning to every once in a while. Ron Howard isn't the best director ever by any means, but the dude knows his craft.
The main them for these movies is absolutely incredible. One of my favorite pieces of film music.
This may be your best "starring" and alternate title yet.
I remember reading the book when it came out and thinking "this was written to make people feel smart" rather than it actually having real substance. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I do appreciate your note on "the only three paintings" for that reason.
I can’t read “Not that there’s anything wrong with that” without thinking of Seinfeld
lol I was studuing religion back then and Dan Brown call us evil in his forword
The Name of the Rose was so much better, in both book and film form.
I think The Da Vinci Code owes its popularity to Harry Potter since it was the first time since Tolkien that an adult-oriented novel truly became the talk of town. I believe it's through Code that so many people actually discovered that there were loads of fast-paced, easy to digest crime novels and action thrillers out there, not just heavy bores that put you to sleep. We do tend to underappreciate how rare (comparatively speaking) book reading was in the '90s, before the Internet made reading an inextricable part of everyday life again.
@@pattheplanter Yes! And for uber-arcane high jinks, Foucault's Pendulum will definitely mess with your head.
Eco did love a cautionary tale for intellectuals. Don't outsmart yourself (Rose); Careful what you play with (Pendulum) 😀
Lots of folks say 'the book is better than the movie' but in this particular case, it's one of the few times the book was MORE MEMORABLE than the movie. I consumed each once and once only, at the time they each respectively came out, and the book was memorable for the advent/escalation of pop-culture referencing, mad-dash, clickbait style novel, where the chapters were barely over a paragraph and ended with some exclamation of exposition or realization, drawing you from one moment to the next that became the template for online content creators going forward. I recognize the visuals of the movie, but really recall nothing of note about it though, . . . well I guess the cilice scene was fairly visually memorable.
I think you are spot on! I stumbled across the Illustrated Version at my library after taking a humanities class. I was enthralled with seeing the paintings we were just talking about in lecture appear in this fast-paced novel.
I remember reading it and thinking it was purposefully written to be turned into a movie.
@@martinlymer9535 its airport fiction. All of Dan browns books are.
@@martinlymer9535 its airport fiction. All of Dan browns books are.
Tom's hair was the biggest mystery.
Unless you see the picture of Dan Brown
I was raised religious and was a teen when the book came out. I remember a bunch of adults at church reading the book so they could feel both titillated and outraged.
lol
My mother (Anglican priest) read it to get outraged, but blasphemy wasn't her real beef: it was the dodgy history and wild (though not new) conspiracy stuff.
Don't think she was particularly titillated. The detective, fantasy and sci-fi novels she read provided amply in that regard 😀
My mom (Christian) read the Da Vinici code to see what everyone was so mad about it and she thought it was so stupid, she couldn't even be mad about the theological inaccuracies.
I was in the Philippines. IT was full book burning over there.
@@davidlanceescandor1310 What do you mean book burning? Never had that in my area then. We were teens, in a catholic school, and have read it then. I found it interesting, although I got more interested in the codes and what symbols are.
@@johnlucas6683 In the Philippines a lost of Christians over here took it way too seriously than in the west and it started a good old fashioned book burning. This was when the movie came out btw.
Say what you want about the movie, but the soundtrack is a masterpiece!
Thank you Zimmer
Zimmer's soundtrack was the treasure all along 😊 (chef's kiss)
Hans is the real hero of the movie
Joshua Bell on a Strad.
Absolutely. Same applies to James Newton Howard's soundtracks for most of M Night's movies.
When I was 16, I was so excited to see this in theaters because the trailer showed all these cryptic "clues" in the paintings.
I came out of the theater confused and with blue balls.
wrong theatre dude. you want the Peewee Herman one.
I'd be cliche and say the book is better...but honestly the book was pretty bad, too.
The movie in this case is far better than the book, it saves you from reading that garbage
@@valeforyoruWell, you're not getting the two hours you wasted on this boring film so just do neither.
Did you know this made $760M worldwide? It was the 2nd-biggest hit of 2006! I can’t imagine any movie like this making even $200M now!
Because it’s controversial and a lot of conspiracy theories about catholics circulating back in the day.
It was only because the book was a best-seller world wide. Sadly all the movies got over-simplified
I still can't believe that movie wasn't anymore that cannon fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000. It was unintentionally funny in so many places, and not in the good way.
@@Ghostiification The book wasn't all that deep. It's more that it made people feel smart than it actually being smart.
All you need is another Shades of Grey type book to get popular and you'll have another cash-in paint-by-numbers film series.
"Patience of a saint" this one killed me😂😂😂
You could say -midichlorians- it's in her blood.
You should make an Honest Trailer for Edge of Tomorrow, before Mission Impossible 7 comes out!
how many shots of Emily Blunt standing up all sweaty can you take?
I look forward to seeing this comment in the intro of a video soon.
@@horace6851 No idea. But, we could find out. For science!
@@horace6851 All of them
^what they said
I have to say the last scene where Screen Junkies gives nicknames to the characters is one of the best and one of the most creative I've ever seen since I started subscribing to this channel.
"is fash, a police officer! But i repeat myself"
Prob one of the best jokes ever written on this series.
"There's Something About Mary" title made me actually laugh out loud. 😂
While they’re not high literature, the Dan Bown books are a lot of fun. Enjoyed them all.
same here, the books were fun reads!
I think Origin was the only one I didn't really like, but in general I am a fan.
I enjoy this film too and the 2nd one but not the 3rd.
Hate "Last Symbol". Obviously placating the religious community after the backlash about Da Vinci Code.
They're excellent books for non-readers.
I enjoy the da Vinci code and angels and demons. Sure the action isn't wild but Tom hanks is delightful in both and the supporting cast is fun. The third one is terrible though.
Yeah IDK, apparently I *like* Indiana Jones with less spectacle and more talking. Weird, but me do me I guess.
He teams up with Jyn Erso and gets blown up at the end.
Ah yeah, for sure !! Cause in the end of Inferno, Langdon failed... but not in the movie -_-". Don't forget the "Lost Symbol" show who was a mess too O_O
So terrible that I didn't even know there was a third one. 😀
I just learned there was a third one and I'm quite curious
The only thing I liked about this movie was at the very very end, Sophie and Langdon say goodbye and she is walking away, she acts like she is about to step into a pond but holds her foot like she is seeing if she can walk on the water, and then she shrugs and says "Nope!" "Maybe I'll do better with the wine." and i just laughed and laughed.
I actually thought I was watching a video from six years ago.
I just wanted to say I like the idea of you going back and Honest trailering something.
Do the next movie after this one. I know it will be good. There are so many things wrong with it but I still love it. Yes, I know this is not Cinema sins
Ding.
They did this because of the new Indiana Jones movie... now that's a very distant reference point.
@@OneofInfinity.Awesome comment 😅
@@yarpen26 Yes you're right. I just thought it might be a good idea to just keep doing this.
Plus for a selfish reason, watching this older movie get an Honest Trailers reminds me of my father. Him and I saw this movie in the theater. I know he would have laughed his head off. Picturing that makes me happy.
Thank you! That's the first time anybody's ever said something like that about my comment. You just made my week.
Please say in a Palpatine voice "What the hell is an Aluminum Falcon"
THANK YOU! This is what you guys are best at! Old movies everyone has seen already. When you do newer movies, some of your audience has to wait to see them to get all the jokes. But when you do old movies, we can watch them immediately! :)
"Doctrine Octopus" and "There's Something About Mary" had me ROFL 🤣
I’m surprised it took you guys this long to make an Honest Trailer for “The Da Vinci Code”. It was worth the wait. 😂
Well, even if I wasn't a fan of the trailer, you guys nailed it on the title card.
Best “Starring…” cast ever! Doctrine Octopus 😂
I'm positively shocked how I'd never up to this point realized Aringarosa was played by the same actor.
"Jean Reno is Fash. A police officer. But I repeat myself!" Epic.
4:08 "Er... second darkest." I see what you did there. Anyway, I prefer the sequel, Angels & Demons. It gets more ridiculous the more you think about it, but its pacing, set pieces, and Ewan McGregor make it so watchable.
Angels and demons is still one of my favorite films despite it being a mess. Robert Langdon is not some treasure hunter or a detective sleuth. He's just a guy thrown into the mix. These films were kinda silly but Tom Hanks makes you take the silliness seriously.
1:44 "I've [injured] my shoulder, I've been shot at, I'm bleeding..."
SJ: "...seems annoyed to be there." 😂
Your honest trailers always make my day better. Thanks for the laughs ❤
'journey to Paris where by French Law...' has to be one of my favorite lines ever
the ending of this film set to hans zimmer music is perfect.
Fantastic!!!! So many direct hits! I think the title killed me the most! Thanks, I needed that!
This was a well made movie, but the tension in the book is unbeatable
Not if you've read literally any other book in the Robert Langdon series.
I loved it when I saw it in theaters, thought it was ok when I watched it on DVD, and every subsequent viewing, I just found it boring. I find this to be a common bond when I watch Ron Howard movies (the only exception being "Apollo 13").
and if you have religion class, like in my country every teacher talks about how the book isn't true, how unholy it is and all against the Catholic church, you should read it under any circumstances, because they take a fiction seriously.
@@bloggerblogg5878 The problem is that Dan Brown himself claimed that everything in the book was historically accurate, even though every scholar-religious or not-dismissed it.
@@h0m3st4r that's how you sell a book I guess, with this everyone wants to read it, so they can claim it isn't true or believe it it true
THANK YOU! I'm glad someone finally called out the biggest problem with this story: the entire plot happens because of a dumb misunderstanding that leads to Langdon getting dragged into a story that has absolutely nothing to do with him - and the story feels like a complete waste of time once you know that.
It's like Dan Brown wanted to write a story about a historical treasure hunt, but knew that wouldn't be exciting enough on its own...so he hastily grafted a "fugitives on the run" story onto his MacGuffin quest to make it more tense and urgent. But he couldn't come up with a plausible reason for the hero to get framed for murder, so instead...he gets wrongly suspected of murder because the police mistook what the letter "P.S." stood for? Seriously, that's it: the entire story would have been resolved almost instantly if he'd just turned himself in and explained himself.
"uh... second best kept secret of the church" that smile
This is hands down your best episode in years! One of the best for sure! Thanks!
Doctrine Octopus got me 😂
Honestly, Honest Trailers: this video was background noise until the Titlecard! "There's Something about Mary"😂😂😂
My guess is that this is not one of the three movies Hanks says is truly proud of.
"There's Something About Mary." That was....chef's kiss.
This was honestly on of your best-ever trailers
"Back in 2003, the world...hit the Brown note”
*chef's kiss*
Been a while since I've watched on these Honest Trailers and this didn't disappoint. Brilliant!
"I have to get to a library, fast!" and in the next scene he's riding a ___ing city bus! But he's standing up front, impatiently looking at his watch. Now that's an action movie! Wow!
I always wondered why Ron Howard and Tom Hanks made this thing. Thank you for pointing out the amazing dumbness! 🤣🤣🤣
I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of this movie, when an Italian Renaissance man left clues in English at a French museum.
What's weird is I played a video game that had this entire plot about 4 years before the book came out, Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned. That's because both pulled from a book written in 1982
GK 3's riddles were better, but yeah, same origin.
Circle of blood (Broken sword) has also a similar plot
Lol "then I took an arrow to the knee" quote was a good one.
My body - my only weakness. Laughed so hard.
"Doctrine Octopus" is pure gold.
PLEASE complete the trilogy and do Angels and Demons AND inferno next!
"Not my body, it's my only weakness!", pissed myself laughing!!
To be fair, da Vinci did in fact have bodies in his basement to dissect for his anatomical sketches, but I gotta give it to the HT crew, he didn't have an assassin supplying him with stealthily murdered guards.
Also The Da Vinci Code is so full of obviously fake historical facts; it's so silly that the church was in such an uproar over it. But it's kinda entertaining to watch, ngl.
I don’t think it’s that silly considering that fictional stories depict attitudes towards things and can have a strong effect on the opinions of the viewing audience. Even with inaccuracies it can have an impact on viewers’ vision of a given thing.
I thought Stigmata already converted everyone to pastafarianism.
In this movie, Tom Hanks' hair is playing John Cusack's hair, in every John Cusack movie.
I read a review that said “the book laid out the plot like a Hollywood movie, but the film tossed it out the window”. Accurate
Oooh! Do Dark Angel next, please! It started off pretty cool and then got projectile dysfunction
“There’s something about Mary” 😂😂😂 Brilliant summary!
I have a soft spot for this film, in a so-bad-it's-good sort of way. Please do a follow up trailer for the faster paced and even sillier Angels & Demons with it's parachuting pontiff.
I feel that way about the mummy ^^
Pretty sharp this one was well done and handled appropriately delicately.
I actually love this movie (and I think it's largely thanks to the music)
0:47 🤣 off to a running start
Genius montage of the lectures 😆
I remember enjoying this story a lot more in 1996 when it was a point-and-click adventure game called 'Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars'.
that fucking goat though.
@@AnotherFatGuy took my undeveloped child brain the best part of 4 months to get past that one screen.
@@Twy87 mine was more like about £20 of my parents phone bill
The guy behind the game actually said they considered suing Brown for plagiarism but figured they wouldn't stand a chance against his lawyers.
And to be perfectly honest, this really wasn't the same story. I mean, yeah, murder, Templars, Paris, American meets French lady and all that stuff, but altogether the plots don't really relate much to one another. Broken Sword is about a Templar conspiracy to retrieve an old magical weapon, The Da Vinci Code is about a church conspiracy to keep people's mouths shut concerning Jesus's descendants. Personally, I'm not even convinced Brown ever played this game (it was and still is virtually unknown in the States) and coincidences like that do happen, no matter how hard it is to believe.
@@yarpen26 The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail authors (well, two of them) DID try to sue for plagiarism... and were ultimately victim of their own contention that their work was history 😀
"The horizon is significantly lower on the left than it is on the right."
Yeah brainiac. That's how hills work.
One thing that always bugged me. At no point in the film (I could never be arsed to read the book) did they explain how in the everloving hell Leonardo DaVinci knew all this stuff!
He was part of a secret society, Templars or Illuminati (or both? I kinda forget!) that were tasked with keeping it secret from the church but leaving clues to people to discover the truth for themselves. The books are great read, the movies are meh.
well if you read the book you'll just get yourself Dan Browned... trust me, I've read it once.
@@jorgehenriq don't suggest the book to anyone. I was bed-ridden for 2 months and this was the book my mother gave me to read. God it was bad.
He's a member of the Guardians of the -Galaxy- Grial
the maury "YOU ARE THE FATHER!" had me HOWLINGGGG 😂 great job
Who else would want to see Bettany play a younger Palpatine in a prequel? XD
He’s already been a villain in solo though.
@@leesalazar3914 pretty sure even he doesn't remember being in this movie
"Back in 2003, The World Hit The Brown Note" - Ohhhhh, I'm Visualizing Dogs reacting to Vuvuzella's over that one.
While this was not a good film, it was still much better than the book, for two reasons:
1) Jean Reno. Always worth watching, even when the film he's in is terrible.
2) The mirror writing scene. A symbologist and a codebreaker are completely stumped by frickin' mirror writing. Seriously, that's the only time in my life I've ever actually thrown a book across a room, because I was worried that the stupidity would infect me.
I didn't see the time travel comedy he did with the LotR guy, but it looked embarrassing.
a poor rip off of Umberto Eco
Nice subtle transition from young to old Alfred Molina 😂
This was such a great movie. I really hope to see at least the lost symbol adapted too.
I think The Lost Symbol might be a series on Peacock
It is and it’s terrible
@@DroppinSlashes aw man. Its such a fun novel
I love that you pointed out that if the movie has something to do with France, Jean Reno has to be in it.
That's someone else I didn't know was in it. I may decide to watch this movie 1 day, out of curiosity (I didn't know Paul Bettany was in it either)
Oh yes. The movie where Tom Hanks had his worst hairstyle!
Honest trailer is right they try make him look more professory, because yeah the true is I met many professors with terrible, similar looking hairstyle or worst than Hanks's in this movie.
Castaway Hanks in jumping for joy rn
Didn't Epic Movie have the anagram spell "so lame the hair of Tom"?
You were actually looking at Hanks rather than his partner in this movie?
We need an Honest Trailer for Dragnet.
Might be your best replacement title so far.
Agreed.
😂 you are the father is the funniest thing since Allen 😂
How were these films a thing😂😂😂
The flash 2023 hits digital in a couple weeks.
“there’s something about Mary” 🤣
"jean reno is fash, a police officer ... but i repeat myself" fucking preach lmao
Mutant Mayhem is coming up so PLEASE do a trailer for NINJA TURTLES 1990!
Title and Starring names are all on point on this one. This is a *cough* Masterpiece, Honest Trailers.
If you had a channel for old or classic Honest Trailers, you could do Operation Petticoat.
1:44 so it would have been the perfect role for Bill Murray
If you liked reading The DaVinci Code, I implore you to read Deception Point. Even if you weren't that big of a fan of his more popular work, Deception Point (in my opinion) is Brown's best work, and will quickly draw you in to the story; perpetually keeping you there until the last page. Really, it's that good of a read; whether you're a fan of Dan Brown, or not.
👍😁👍
I agree, I was on the edge of my seat when I read the deception point.
Is that the one with Susan the programmer and the “without wax” punchline?
The bit about knowing how to handle a whip had me ☠️☠️
the flash please. the honest trailer maybe seen by more people than the movie.
Langdon's presence making little sense is what happens when Angels And Demons actually takes place first (and helps to explain why folks would look his way in DV Code) but the films reverse the order because DV Code was a THING! What makes that even more unfortunate is that I much preferred Angels And Demons (the book), but it didn't pretend to reveal any scandalous secrets about Jesus so it was only successful for being a thriller.
P.S. (yes, I did that on purpose) this was one of my favorite "starrings" of any Honest Trailer! Well done!
My family dragged me to see this movie (and the sequel) in theatres so this video speaks to memy heart 😂❤
YOU ARE THE FATHER of movie trailers.
One of the movies that looks better than it actually is.
"Patience of a saint" I cackled 😂😂
The line about the actual darkest conspiracy of the Catholic church is so true...
If I had a nickle for every time someone wanted to watch the Da vinci code with me, but got to the monk self torture and got too scared and instead let me put on the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie junior, I would have two nickles.
Which isn't a lot but it's still weird that it happened twice.
