It was an amazing film I reckon, I think those critics are mad if they don't give it good reviews, they are focusing on the actors rather than the plot. As Katherine said, I want to see it again. I am getting it as soon as it comes out on DVD.

Not to challenge Christians/RCs on the board.....

The DVC is fiction. it challenges belief.

Belief is something that cannot be proved with facts.

I can see where the RC church is up in arms about the whole deal...


Now pardon me, I need to go whip myself.
Richard, I love the way you word stuff! And I completely agree. The Da Vinci Code and the Bible in a way are similar. For some it's fact and for some it's fiction. Personally, I believe next to nothing about what the Bible says. That's just me. And some people believe everything in it. Belief is about what makes sense to you, and solely you, and of course everyone is different, so everyone's beliefs are different. Belief is not fact for everyone. The Da Vinci code is a fictional book, but it uses the beliefs of others, and the beliefs used make sense to me. A lot of the points raised in the book sort of explained why I have no faith in religion, so maybe that's why I love the book and now the film. But on this sort of topic, isn't it good to ask questions about such things? People who may have changed their minds about religion after reading the Da Vinci Code may have made the right decision. Why? If they changed their minds, they must have had questions about their religion, and if they are not 100% in agreement with the religion, can they call themselves religious? If you don't change your mind, then it proves you love your God very much and are obviously passionate about your faith, which of course is very good. I have been atheist for a while, but do understand about religion. I don't think you can be atheist without understanding religion. Otherwise you wouldn't know what you're missing out on. It's like trying banoffee pie, some like it and some don't, but those who never try it will never know. You have to sample a bit of both before you make up your mind.

Belief will always be disagreed on. It's just the way the human mind works IMHO.
