"It scares the hell out of me."
Robert Langdon
Angels & Demons
2009
Following The Da Vinci Code, Tom Hanks is back as Robert Langdon the symbolist in Angels & Demons. Robert is the only one that can decipher code and seek the truth in history. Angels & Demons brings us to Vatican City, with a number of unforeseen deaths, and the death of the pope, Robert is tasked with the mystery surrounding the "earth", "air", "water" and "fire" conspiracy. As we engage as audiences for Angels & Demons, we ponder the thought of Robert's line, "It scares the hell out of me".
What do you know that scares the hell out of you?
It could be metaphorically speaking, most times its more literal, but, yet, we must know something out there gets us frightened, and hesitation stricken. So what is it?
Sometimes change and adaptation is scary. Sometimes truth is scarier. What frightens ones soul often at times hinders anothers soul. Can we find reasoning behind the truth by understanding what it is that we are afraid of?
I think in terms of fright as terms of the unknown. Some are scared of love, being loved and embracing love. Some are scared of actuality, where they fit into the puzzle of existence. If one is scared of another human, are we terrified that they may jeopardize and affect our reality?
If the frightened intimidates the scared and the confident became less strong, who's being belittled, who's code is being cracked?
Robert Langdon's character not only is seeking the truth, he is preventing assassins and further destruction to the people in Vatican City. Is preparation of ones fright faced first hand when ones ignorance of their surroundings becomes complex and evasive?
Either an angel or a demon, a truth or a secret, a code or a symbol, we look at situations as a predicament. Its how we get ourselves unafraid of the outcome that tests the correlation between the two.

Haven't been interested in the DaVinci Code stuff, but I keep feeling an urge to see them because I'd probably enjoy watching Tom Hanks read the phone book.
Hanks' was incredible in the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons films.. it was one of those that I wasn't too keen on, but had to give it a shot. I've heard the books are amazing, and of course as a movie freak... I do it backwards. Read after the film.. touche' huh?
