Da Vinci Code - The Movie
I have finally caught the movie. I made a 3-day advance phone booking but most of the cineplexes are already fully booked for that show. Finally, I managed to get tickets at a cineplex that is so far from my house you think you need a passport to get there.
Anyway, the movie was a disapointment (at least to me). It just didn’t feel as intriguing as the book. Also, there were some scenes from the book which was changed. The most noticeable is the one where Remy died (or murdered) and the one where Langdon finally found the sarcophagus of Mary Magdalene. I like the book better.
At the cinema, there were many different kinds of people watching. And there were many different reactions. The type of reaction ranges from “I thought this is a movie about conspiracies. Why is it talking about the Holy Grail?” (talk about being blur!) to “Hmm… interesting…” (yup it’s pretty thought provoking). And yes, I’ve looked. There were no one picketing, protesting, complaining or strapping bombs to themselves. It’s just like any other movie day. That’s what I love about my country. People use brains here.
All in all, the movie is not a bad watch. But if you’ve read the book, chances are you’ll like the book better. If you haven’t read it, then go watch it first.
By the way, Tom Hanks is getting old. And I think I’m falling for Princess Sophie. How can you not love her smile?!

I havent read the book, but I can say that the film doesn’t even persuade me a bit. The presentation is kinda lousy. And dear Tom Hanks was sort of OA.

Karen: read my previous blog on the Da Vinci Code book. I’m sure you’ll find it interesting. Also, tonite I’m attending a church workshop that’s addressing the Da Vinci Code “issue”. I’ll be sure to post about it when I get home.
