The book and now the film have raised a great interest to the history of Christianity

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2006)

Dan Brown's book is a very gripping one. And the film based on it is made in a good quality way with the great actors. I heard that it's not interesting for those who have read the book. No, the film caught me from the very beginning and didn't release me till the end although I've read the book both in Russian and English. Someone wrote in internet that the both of the main heroes are sexless - no sexual feeling aroused between them during the whole plot. But they are dogged by the police, they have to solve one puzzle after another they come from different worlds and the only thing which is united them is the Saint Greal. The authors of the film are also condemned in long and dull lecture about the history of Christianity etc. My husband told me that he would be glad if they told a bit more about all that as he had heard a lot of new things and it was made rather gripping in the film the whole that scene in Teabing's house. And one more thought. How can the book or the film damage the basis of Christianity? They just have raised a great interest to the history of Christianity and to art by the way too. A lot of people try to read more about the subject, to see the pieces of art in original and to know about the artist much more... I liked the film and would advice to see it. The actors are great and the producing is not bad too. Even if the basic idea of the book and the film is absurd (though I don't think so) the authors of the both book and film make us think. Which is great.
