Angels and Demon

Last Monday, me and my friends go to the movie to see a movie called "Angels and Demon" which is an adaptation from a novel with the same name written by Dan Brown. I've read the book more than a year ago and I liked it a lot. This movie helps me (and other people who had read the book) to get better visualization of the story even though there are some differences between the movie and the book.

Plot
When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization's most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican's only hope for survival.

Differences to the book

• Vittoria Vetra's partner Silvano who is murdered in the film is actually her father in the book
• Robert Langdon is hired by CERN director Maximilian Kohler to solve the murder of his friend and Vittoria's father, Leonardo Vetra and not the Vatican as in the film
• The assassin is killed by Langdon and Vittoria by being pushed off a balcony and breaking his spine on cannonballs below rather than being killed in an explosion
• The bomb is found through Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca having a 'vision' rather than the fifth symbol freshly and painfully branded onto Ventresca's chest is upside-down leading them to locating the antimatter in St. Peter's tomb in the necropolis under the Vatican in the film
• Langdon does not join Camerlengo in disposing of the bomb in the film, unlike in the book where he does
• Cardinal Baggia is killed in the book but survives in the film and becomes the new pope
• The killing of Maximilian Kohler for being mistaken as 'Janus' in the book is replaced by Commander Richter, head of the Swiss Guard in the film and the shooting of a bishop who enters the room in response to camerlengo accusing the bishop of being Illuminati in the film is replaced with the killing of Captain Rocher, the second in command of the Swiss Guard
• CERN director Maximilian Kohler is not seen in the film at all and is briefly mentioned in passing at the beginning
• Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca is Italian in the book but Irish in the film to accommodate for Ewan McGregor's Scottish accent. The name is changed from Carlo Ventresca to Patrick McKenna in the film
• In the book there is a particular TV crew running around the city trying to find out what happens and film the finding of the bomb.
