Nice movie, worth watching. Beautiful visual elements and some pretty good tension here and there. I don't see this story as something against christanity, but more a thing that is pro art. The Da Vinci Code shows us that there still might be some mistery left in this world, and that art is a more important in life then…
...is what The Da Vinci Code has made. I thought the movie stuck to the story pretty well, save that last 30 seconds of the movie. The beginning is a little rushed, but otherwise its spot on. Good flick.
What are you talking about Madden for? This thread is about the Da Vinci Code, and vaguely about the values people assign different things, as Per128 already said most efficiently. Shut up already!
Hmm... I very much enjoyed Angels and Demons, as did everyone else I know... most people seem to like it more than the Da Vinci Code, why the hate Danr?
Yea, I went to MI:III last night and the theatre was a flippin zoo. Big ass lines gettin ready for the Da Vinci Code and all. And it's very good to hear it was good,apparently the critics hate it. But they hate all the good stuff. :P
this damn thing was like harry potter for adults, everytime i see an adult reading something on the train, its almost always davinci code or angels and demons, both of which i just found horrible. dan brown just isnt a good writer.
but everyone read the davinci code because it was what everyone was reading. you'd see everyone reading it, then they'd be talking about it around the watercooler or something. lots of people who hadnt read a single book in 10 years all of a sudden pick this up and think they are theologists.
If you like The Name of the Rose, I'd recommend Foucault's Pendulum as well, also by Umberto Eco. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0345368754/002-0270041-6460878?v=glance&n=283155 I found it a little more accessible than 'Rose' and enjoyed it more than DaVinci Code. Haven't seen the movie yet but probably will later this…
