She is involved because of her grandfather, and while she is resistant to her inclusion in the mystery, she too is seeking the truth. She is an honest character in that her motives are pure.

He does not become involved in a love affair, he does not use or abuse his position.

The main characters in the movie are Robert Langdon, Agent Sophie Neveu, Sir Leigh Teabing, and Silas. In fact, some of the French actors do not speak English at all, thus making the use of sub-titles necessary, and again, removing the ethnocentric American ideal that all actors should speak English because it is an American film.

Many times, American movies are made with an all-American cast of actors who don an accent to appear to be from a foreign locale. It is cast with a very internationally diverse group of actors, and is one of the most “international” movies I have ever seen. The movie takes place in both France and England. It is important to note that the movie stayed very true to the spirit of the book in that all the major themes were still present, and the character likenesses were consistent with the original author’s intent.
