A Special screening of The Da Vinci Code was done at my local cinema at 00:05 Hrs last night today morning how should I say it, anyways the movie was thrilling and as expected the director has done justice to the book by Dan Brown. (Good that I went for the special screening the movie is choke-booked for the weekend). I would still vote any day for the book as I felt the book was more gripping then the movie. Read the book then see the movie, you will understand the movie better. If it is a long time since you read that book (like me) see the movie and read it again – I am going to do that soon.
Now in India the censors have released it with an “A” certificate, I felt that was bad considering the fact that there is no bad language or ugly scenes in the movie. I think the “A” rating is more to pacify the Christian population in India. As somebody mentioned whatever rating the censor board gives you are going to be getting the DVD out soon and whoever wants to watch it can watch it.
The Christian movement in coming together to voice against this movie, I feel has generated tremendous amount of publicity for this movie and yes the movie has strong reference to the papacy and a lot of other things Christian. Though the book had more reference to all these I felt the movie has rubbed it in a bit more since it is more visual. I feel this should be a topic for a healthy debate and something that should not be banned.
