It is less blasphemous than Opus Dei wants us to believe

Rating: 10/10 (19 May 2006)

Strange that so many gave the movie a rating of 1. I voted 10 although the movie is not perfect, of course, but still very well made. I think those who voted 1 may not have seen it at all and don't want other people to see it either (typically members of Opus Dei who have not even read the book because they are not allowed to). They say is blasphemous but what they are really worried about is the way this prelature is pictured by Dan Brown. They were quite lucky that the chapter 100 of the book does not really appear for full in the film. This is maybe due to the need to compress everything into 150 minutes, but it could also be the result of pressure from Opus Dei!! This chapter could become a reality before Opus Dei imagines. I am a practicing catholic and of course we know that the stuff about Jesus and Mary Magdalene is probably not quite true. Anyway, I do not think it is blasphemous at all. In conclusion I enjoyed the 150 minutes of intense suspense, beautiful scenery and good acting. Go and watch it and judge for yourself!
