Quietly moves forward with deliberation and purpose.

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2006)

Did not read the book. Read "Bloodline of the Holy Grail" and "The Woman with the Alabaster Jar" so was somewhat prepared. Cannot believe the stink and protests this film is stirring up. I have read other fiction based on religious beliefs, secret societies, etc that should be under more scrutiny than this. Discussion is healthy.
Watched the movie as a story unfolding rather than trying to figure out what will or won't happen. It was a quiet, reverent matching equal to the story's secrets. The characters move with deliberate purpose sometimes with a surprising end.
Very impressed with the cinematography. The overlay of present over past. I was shown the paths walked by the ancients. Enciteful. Respectful. Drew me in.
Will never have a chance to visit the Louvre or the great cathedrals. They were awesome on the big screen. Many details would have been lost on my television at home.
It was a movie I enjoyed wrapping myself around. I came out into the afternoon sunshine, satisfied and content.
