I saw the Di Vinci code too this weekend. I saw Mission Impossible 3 the previous week. Between the two movies, I'd watch MI3 again and I strongly dislike Cruise.
I thought the Di Vinci movie was strange. I knew what it was about before hand, but still was turned off. I guess I got sucked into the hype.
Besides the lame CSI like investigation scene (the flash light and the magic appearance of clues), all the sub titles really got to me. I go to a movie to watch it, not to read it. If I wanted to read the book, I would have!
I turned off the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! for the same reason. I tried to watch this WWII movie years ago and got tired of trying to read the movie.
I started to make up my own story... the one French guy wanted to get his watch back... who knows what they really said... I stopped reading the movie.
"My father gave me that watch. And his father before him."
"You are obsessed with finding this watch."
"I know, I lost it in Paris..."
And so on, great tale. Not sure it was what Dan Brown intended, but I honestly can't say I've liked his other books all that much.
I often thought about the phrase "Always learning and never coming to the truth." People can study and argue over supposed events of the past and still get nowhere.
I guess my only hope is that people start to question what they really believe and come to a higher level of understanding.
