A very interesting movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2006)

'The Da Vinci code' is not only a very well made film plenty of action and excellent performances, but also an interesting story which could be true or not depending on people. The film is quite similar to the book and although it is totally impossible to describe the whole book on a 2 and a half hour film, the movie is very close to the book. I like both, the book and the film. I do not understand why the critics have been so critic with it because 'The Da Vinci code' is full of action and very well made, other thing is that perhaps they do not like the story, but this is another question. What I do not understand either is the attitude of some powerful groups of the Catholic church, as a Catholic I dot not feel ofended by the film because it is just fiction, nothing else. There is no reason for attacking neither the book nor the film, if the Opus Dei attacks it is because this is a powerful, conservative and dangerous sect inside the Catholic church. But apart from what the Opus Dei say we live in a free society where there is freedom of expression and they should keep in mind that our society is secular and everybody has the right to think by themselves. I feel totally ofended by the declarations of the Opus, which are absolutely closed to the fundamentalist Muslims. In conclusion, I totally recommend this film to all those people who have enjoyed the book.
