Saturday, May 20, 2006 : The DaVinci Code

16:23

just watched The DaVinci Code yesterdae with Uncle Mouse! hahaha...so happy that i manage to get to watch the show at last!!

for those who are unfamiliar abt The DaVinci Code...here's a short introduction from alot of website i've found!

From IMDb:
Dr. Robert Langdon(Tom Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre by the French version of the FBI, led by Captain Bezu Fache(Jean Reno), he soon discovered that he is the #1 suspect for the murder of a historian Langdon had been scheduled to meet with.. Assisted by a French cryptographer and government agent named Sophie(Audrey Tautou), Langdon is challenged to decipher a chain of cryptic codes and puzzles, all the while trying to stay ahead of Fache's lawmen in a chase through the Louvre, and out into the Parisian cityscape, and finally across the channel to England. Can Langdon and Sophie decipher the nature of a secret dating back to Leonardo Da Vinci and earlier before those responsible for the historian's murder add them to their hit list..?

From The Da Vinci Code Debunked:
• Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene who had a child who escaped to France.
• Mary Magdalene was to head the church, but Peter and the other disciples took over.
• Jesus was turned into “God” in order to protect the patriarchal system, the Catholic Church along with the rest of Christianity has worked together to maintain this 2000-year cover up.
• The secret of Jesus’ “True Identity” is maintained by a group known as the “Priory of Sion” that has existed since 1099.
• Documents found in Paris in 1975 confirm its existence.
• Sir Isaac Newton and Leonardo Da Vinci were Grand Masters in this organization.

From The Da Vinci Code Debunked:
The Da Vinci Code begins with the death of Jacques Sauniere(Jean-Pierre Marielle), curator of the Louvre in Paris, by an assassin who later turns out to be huge albino monk named Silas(Paul Bettany), who is part of Opus Dei. While dying, Sauniere manages to leave a cryptic message on the museum floor. He writes the name Robert Langdon. Robert Langdon is a Harvard professor in Paris giving a talk at the American University. Langdon’s name on the floor makes him suspect number one for French police.

Paris police captain Bezu Fache(Jean Reno), suspects Langdon is the Jacques Sauniere’s murderer, and he brings Langdon to the crime scene.

Later, at the crime scene, agent Sophie Neveu(Audrey Tautou) a cryptographer and the secret estranged granddaughter of Jacques Sauniere, arrives, knowing they suspect Robert Langdon, she helps him escape from the Paris police.

After escaping from police, they begin a journey searching for meaning behind her grandfather’s final message, racing to find “Secret documents” before the Catholic Church destroys them.

Seriously...i have no idea what's the commontion about The DaVinci Code...! i donnoe why would the Christian Association want to ban the movie...! Imagine that!! it's really a very entertaining movie...! i just got hook with the quotes exchange between Sir Leigh Teabing(Ian McKellen) & Langdon!

"The more penis you have, the higher (rank) you will get..."

i kinda burst out laughing when i heard the line! i mean it's so true for the guys in the army! LoLx...the higher you are, the more authority you've got! it was the best line i've heard throughout the movie...! but wat makes me get hooked to its every scene was, the poem or short verses of whatever! i've been trying to find word for word for it..! so that i can share it to you guys...!!

the reason for the penis thingy....is that they were talking about the Romans used to worship 2 Gods...the Male & Female...! thus, the "V" thingy...! the "V" shape stands for the male, the arrogant, agressive & power! While the inverted "V" shape stands for the female! the femininity & innocence...!

then, there's this crazy albino guy, Silas(Paul Bettany), who would give his craziness for his master, Bishop Aringarosa(Alfred Molina), to kill all the "evidence" regarding Jesus is a mortal, who married Mary Magdalene to carry his bloodline. She gave birth to a girl, Sarah & escape to France!

alot of people who had watched or read it from the papers, saying that the book is much more better then the movie...! i, for 1 personally, think that the overall is not bad...juz that the ending is too fucked up for my liking..! it kinda ends abruptly!! maybe i should go get the book & read it for myself & judge which of is better...! the book or the movie...

overall, i give the movie a 4 out of 5stars...! coz, for the stupid ending..! but it's really touchin that the guy manage to shift Mary Magdalene's tomb to the Lourve! & Langdon kneel "infront" of her tomb & is considered being a knight to The Order of the Rose...!

P.S: for pple who are still getting alot of question marks above their forehead..! pls...i suggest that u read the book: The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown

The Poster of The DaVinci Code...! cool right? it's Mona Lisa's pic!
