The DaVinci Code
This weekend I went with some friends to watch the movie "The DaVinci Code". I almost gave up, though... There were soooooo many people lined up to watch it. At least we managed to get good seats.
I've read the book before, and it's interesting. The author Dan Brown writes in a way that you can't stop reading, always anxious to know what happens next. The movie kept most of the storyline, but as any movie based on a book, some informations were given in a partial way or simply ommited. I remember that well in the most recent Harry Potter movie ("The Goblet of Fire", I think), when I asked myself if someone that has never read the book before could understand the movie... Although "The DaVinci Code" seems understandable, I still miss some explanations and situations.
But the stranger of all is the acting. Some situations just look... wrong. The way they speak some lines don't seem natural...
I can't say I wasted my time, but that's not a movie I'd go watch twice.
Then comes the question: why are some sectors of the Church were complaining about that movie (and the book) so much? Like when there was the polemic about violent games like GTA. In my opinion, that HELPED the sales of that game. The same situation might be occuring.
That also reminds me of another situation: those cartoons about Mohammed that enraged many muslims. I'm not the only one to associate the two cases...
