Da Vinci Code !!


Should Da Vinci code ^________^ 19th May 2006

In today's news, Some "Priya Ranjan Das Munshi" said the film might not be released in theatres across India on Friday as planned because the censor board needed to contact the producers/distributors to insert the disclaimer. Daammnnn!!!

Its all over the net. Forums are discussing it, bloggers are reviewing it

I am emphasizing "fictional truth" because this is a movie based on a book that claims authority in the presentation of many historical facts, but is often nonsense.

The odds are against success. Bringing Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code Christian conspiracy novel to the screen is a disheartinih task and not just because it had sold more than 40 million copies,(actually still selling), but because The elaborated, 2,000-year-old tale of secrets, and bloodshed in the result of Jesus Christ's life defined a cinematic treatment

The film i believe explains scenes and the flashbacks to show us literally in images what is said in words of Dan Brown. That takes us back to the time of Jesus, or simply to the 20th century.

The Da Vanci Code Starring,Tom Hanks as some kinda professor , Tautou as a French police , and Ian McKellen as the rich Holy Grail devotee (played with a delicious flamboyance that is too little too late), are most guilty.

I won't tell people who have not read the Brown book what these facts and truths are b'coz im not sure too, but even if U guys know what the facts are they are supposed to be momentous, they come across in the film as deflated bits of religious mythology.

BOTTOM LINE: Go if you must, especially if you're curious, but do not expect a perfect thriller or real religious history.

I won't say sin to see the movie. It is a sin to believe that fictional movies present historical truths..
