The DaVinci Code is another wonderful Howard movie with a superb cast and excellent screenplay. The chemistry between the actors makes the film a true epic of emotional platitudes. Everything about the film is technically of classic magnitude. The film is about the idea that there is a bloodline of Christ through Mary Magdalene as Jesus wife who has been protected by a secret order of the Templar's and attacked by the patriarchal traditional church through the Opus Dei sect of self mutilators. If you can get past the not so obvious heresy in the whole idea, it is an interesting movie filled with proof of concept and very likely a good amount of embellishment. Still, there is nothing wrong with calling this film a must see. I understand the Christian fundamentalists gave Dan Brown death threats just like the Muslims and Rushdie.
