DaVinci, His Code and a 3 Hour Movie
Last night, Ian, House and I went to see The DaVinci Code. I really had no desire to see it, but hey, it was something to do and it's controversial, so therefore I need to see it. Despite the fact that it seemed to be never ending (it rolls in at about 2 hours and 45 mins, when 2 hours would have been enough), it actually was really good. Weird, and I definetly see why the church is up in arms about it, but really intriguing. I was surprised though that I wasn't really lost during it. I mean, without having read the book, and everything in the movie connects and builds off something else. Lots of history (which, I understand, is not all that accurate). Ian and House said they were lost during the first 1/2 hr or so, not knowing all the "church stuff". Isn't it weird that there are some things that you don't think you know much about (or you just don't think about it) and then you realize that compared to the average person, you know a ton? That's always nice. Anyways, I recommend it, just don't take it seriously and remember that, as the author states, it's a work of fiction.
