The DaVinci Code

The Vitruvian Man. That is the symbol shown to us in this first scene. We have a long shot, but at the same time, there is little we can see, no detail, leaving us in the ‘dark’ as it were. There is also a pentacle carved into the victims chest, a pagan religious icon; a symbol for Venus, it represents the female half of all things.


In this shot, we see the altered image of the “Last Supper”. It shows John/Mary as they would appear on the other side of Jesus, leaning over him. It is supposed to symbolize that they were together and that he fathered a child with her.


In this last shot, we have a long shot establishing location as well as a sun setting which allows us to ascertain the time as well. We also see several people (at least 6 in the foreground) seeming to be leaving the city in the background indicating some kind of trek is being embarked upon.
