The devinci Code

[sahjacq]

You all have probally had a major discussion on this book,film, I rented out the dvd last night and sat for 2 1/2 hours quite enjoying what i was watching, did I must admite have a stale taste in my mouth with the moral that it sometimes indicates regarding Jesus and God but did love the suspence of the film and trail that it took you on. .
would love to know what others thought of the film and did they read the book as i took no notice with the book. .

I read the book and found it quite entertaining for what it was worth. Dan Brown is a good Author.

Haven't seen the movie. owever, I did read the book, and as potboilers go, it's pretty good. Just keep in mind that it's a work of FICTION and you should be all right.

In what way? Did the movie portray anything differently than the book?

Loved the book, the movie was ok

I loved the movie. We watched it the day after we got back from Europe. We saw so much in the movie that we have just visited lol. We were like Oh we were there 2 days ago and I have a photo of that or sheesk I wish we had gone there etc.

I started reading the book after I saw the movie and I loved how the movie at the begginning seemed to really follow what was in the book. I didnt get very far in the book though, so I can really comment on it. I know a lot of people were disappointed in the movie who read the book. But I giuess it might just be the same as all the harry potter fans out there who gets annoyed by the movies. The book generally tends to always be better than the movie.

I did enjoy the movie.

cheers

I actually really enjoyed the movie, but hate it for all the lies in it. I know it's fiction, but some things you just shouldn't play with.

i take a much more intollrant vew, i am mostly filmilayer with the book and an awsome documentry , even though i am aware of the lies and the fiction , people like my dad actualy belive that Jesus had a kid ect ect .

then other people with even less knolage than me on the subject go about preaching it as if it were truth !!!

it reminds me of the verse that Jesus said about leading children astray , that it was better for them to dround at the bottom of the ocean .

Imagining God getting his freak on with one of His creations isn't "open minded" it's raw and insulting.

Dan Brown has been pushing that the theory is fact which irritates me even more, he's cashing in on God. If God doesn't mind it then he would have left us the "tattler", not the "bible"

I also found it very scary as a new christian that it could flaw non believers way of thinking my mother believes it all. And the debates that we have now regarding the bible and jesus i find sad that i have to fight for our lord, but there is the truth, jesus said we will have to be alone and fight as he did.

The grail has only recently come into the public view because of Mr Brown's book. There are dozens of accounts and theories as to what the grail is. One story says that a Queen from France was out taking a stroll when a fish jumped out of a river and impregnated her...(get the symbolism, a fish?)

Another says that Lucifer before the fall, had a crown or diadem that he wore with a Lapis Luzi (blue stone) in it. When the war in heaven broke out, Michael struck at Lucifer with his sword, but only managed to hit the diadem, knocking the stone loose. The stone fell through the various heavens, landed in the abyss, and it was from That stone that the cup, or grail was made that Jesus drank from at the last supper.

It would seem to me that Mr Brown picked the variation that would invoke the biggest emotional response and curiosity of Christians, and non Christians alike.
Any publicity is good publicity.

I thought it was a very well done movie and I enjoyed it. Will be getting the DVD as well. Plus, the ending was fantabulous, which is rare for me to say such cause I usually hate the way movies end.

I find the theological debates surrounding it funny and frankly, a waste of time/breath. The book and the movie are works of fiction. Just like Left Behind is a work of fiction. This one is just more controversial. And I'm sure that if anyone believed it to be true, they would be instantly set strait when they go to ask questions about it in the church. So I don't worry too much about "losing people".

I didn't think it was up to my own expectations..

Is the devinci code the same as the Da Vinci Code???

 

[justanobserver]

I just watched it the other night and well, it was ok as a kinda mystery/little action/thriller from time to time/who may have dun it type movie but over all, wont watch it again or buy it. I like Tom Hanks but the movie didnt do squat for me.

 

[elsbeth]

I don't think Dan Brown is that good a writer- skipped parts to get to the end. The movie was mildly entertaining but I noticed they dummied it down so as not to offend as many people.
I got on a forum somewhere when the book was new, and as a Christian was HORRIFIED at how many people took the book really seriously (along the lines of "It made me question my faith...") Why would anyone take sprirtual advice from Dan Brown?

The movie was good, the book was better, and "Angels and Demons" was the best.
