my da vinci ramble
sam and i went and saw the da vinci code last night - cheapo tuesday! oh yeh! anyways, we both liked the book, because of the pace and structure and weaving. we're both big matthew reilly fans, and i'm a tom clancy fan, and dan brown's book was in a similar vein.
in any case, all the hoo ha about the book and christianity and the church - i can understand where people are coming from, wanting to refute it and run services around it, 'decoding' it. i understand that it might spark peoples curiousity into christianity. i can also understand that people might use this book/movie to support their negative view of the church.
there is cynicism either way.
i choose to read the book as fiction. i choose to believe what the Bible tells me about Jesus and God. i choose to believe in his deity. and i still chose to pay my $8.50 (plus $1.00 booking fee) to go and see the film.
yes, sam and i liked the film. it was good i think more coz we had read the book too. i wouldn't say it was a thriller really. one bit made me jump. and i guess having read the book, you kind of expect the ending. but it was a good tale. and it wasn't too bad on the big screen. in fact, i liked it.
i don't understand all the fuss about tom hanks.

Tom Hanks is looking kinda old and stressed.
He seemed heaps sick in the film and sweated alot
