You’re watching Tom Hanks play - which is to say, manage the expectations of being - “Tom Hanks.” But you should know: You’re watching a character within a character.

So you can have your curly hair–Tom Hanks movies, and you can watch them as many times as you want, and they’re good, and I respect you.
#INFERNO DAN BROWN FILM CODE#
And that Tom Hanks has some silly-ass hair in the Da Vinci Code movies, and it makes him feel fun and young and maybe even sexy, and that’s weird, I guess, but mostly sweet, and how nice for him, the end. That Tom Hanks isn’t just a dad he’s a man. It’s time to understand that Tom Hanks isn’t just an archetype he’s a person. It’s time to hold hands, and buy tickets to Inferno, and agree - just close our eyes, and open our hearts, and agree - that this isn’t upsetting at all. Hanks is different: We like to imagine that if Tom Hanks stumbled upon the fountain of youth, he would, I don’t know - turn to it, and say, “Actually, I’m all set - I have a Nalgene right here in my fanny pack, but thanks for the offer, that’s very kind.” And it was on these cherished terms that seeing Tom Hanks go through a midlife hair crisis was so upsetting.īut it’s time to move past that. 2000s Cruise and Pitt have come off as tragedies of vanity - obsessed with finding the fountain of youth. That’s what separates him, and has always separated him, from the Tom Cruises and Brad Pitts of the world. The Tom Hanks archetype, is, above all else, at its essence, post-vain. He’s the Dad Zero of American cinema, and he does as dads do: reliably, steadily, stylishly within the reality of his own strict dad constructs, and most importantly of all - absent any vanity. We think of Tom Hanks as this paragon of comfort and stability. But it wasn’t simply that it didn’t look great. Friends, I won’t front: It didn’t look great. Receding, and swooping, and teased forward and upward and backward, and … oh, man. Yes, sure: When The Da Vinci Code first came out in 2006, Tom Hanks’s hair was a lot to take in, a shock to the system.

This sounds like an opinion, I know, and a bold one at that. The Da Vinci Code movies are secretly dope.
#INFERNO DAN BROWN FILM MOVIE#
They made a sequel to a seven-year-old movie about how Ewan McGregor killed the Pope for Illuminati sport, or SOMETHING, or maybe NOT EVEN something, and you DON’T CARE, and you probably thought that Angels & Demons was an ironically named roller rink, or a combination tattoo parlor/Tom DeLonge interview, or the cologne I’m wearing, thanks for noticing, and it’s none of those and that’s fine. “ The Da Vinci Code … but not … The Da Vinci Code? Again? They’re still doing that?”Īnd I get it.

Today, the latest trailer dropped for Inferno - the sequel to the sequel to the movie adaptation of the Dan Brown book you probably read but don’t remember but just say you read it because, honestly, it doesn’t matter - and it seems as though most people’s knee-jerk response has been, well: “Why?” That sound you hear is America not giving a collective shit that they’re making a third movie in the Da Vinci Code universe. Sorry, give me one more chance, I really think I can nail it this time: Langdon back?
