The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code is a film adaptation of Dan Brown's bestselling novel of the same name. Both art and architecture are employed as instruments to support the space of the film, which was shot in 2006. While the film takes the audience to the streets of Paris and London, historical sites, and art galleries, it also leads the audience to a tremendous secret. As a result, the film is addressed in terms of 'looking and seeing' in this study. Looking and seeing are not only not synonymous, but they are also distinct notions in terms of perception. It is possible that we do not see everything we look at. There are, however, a number of works that must be seen while watching this film. The study's goal is to call attention to the works that should be examined in the film from this perspective. The works in question are also explored under two subcategories: architecture and art. When looking at the locations used in the film, religious architecture such as churches, monasteries, and chapels stand out. Aside from religious structures, the buildings that have become city emblems draw attention, particularly in the scenes shot in France. Symbols and works of art, as well as settings and architecture, were employed to reinforce and strengthen the space of The Da Vinci Code. The “pentacle” sign, the Mona Lisa, and the Last Supper painting are among them. As a result, this film, whose book set records and had a huge impact, should be seen by everybody who enjoys suspense, mystery, puzzle solving, architecture, and art; and at the same time, what is looked at must be seen as well.
