Finally an Intellectual Film

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2006)

After so many mindless films full of sex and violence it astounds me that there is so much objection to one that provokes thought and further study of religion. As others have said, it is FICTION, it is a THRILLER. It is ENTERTAINING.
I think Da Vinci Code is thought provoking and very intelligently done.Only the history that is fact is presented as fact, and what is not fact is presented as THEORY, with the exception of the bloodline of Christ, which is of course the point of the film and book. The book and film both give us a look at what it might be like if this theory were true. And it could be. There is nothing to prove or disprove it. It's just a theory and Dan Brown isn't the first to think of it. It also isn't the first film that blended history with a little artistic license.
Oh and yes, I am a Christian. I am not offended. I would be very disappointed if the talent of these actors, this director and this writer can be overlooked because people can't handle a little controversy. I was thrilled with both film and book. I plan to see the film again and I will by the DVD when it comes out. The scenery is wonderful and the acting outstanding. I would venture to stay it might be over the heads of anyone who doesn't read and study. Just a thought.
