DISCLAIMER: This is not meant to become some religious debate. It is just to talk about the movie versus the book. If there is one thing I have learned in life then it is not to discuss religion or politics on the internet. It will go on forever.... This has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with history and what is fact and what is fiction.
So I took a half day yesterday so we could go catch the matinee of The DaVinci Code. I enjoyed the book and have been looking forward to the movie for two years. It was pretty good, actually. I read Angels and Demons most recently and I kept getting the two mixed up in my mind as I watched the show. I`ll have to read it again to see how much they left out, but all in all it was a good flick. Most of what they left out seems to be just the expositions on the artwork and some of the other hidden meanings that the Church may or may not have had removed. I think they tweaked the ending a little bit, but hopefully there will be an extended version available when it comes out on DVD.
The thing that has been interesting is all the documentaries that have been on The History Channel lately. All week it has been DaVinci Code week I guess. Dan Brown may have gotten most of his information from other sources, but those sources got it from somewhere too. Irregardless of whether or not the theories are true, it sure has been facinating learning about the history of how people could come to the conclusion that they are true.
