DaVinci Code
Just got home from watching The DaVinci Code.
I have to admit that although it displayed quite a bit of poor historical research it turned out to be a piece of pretty good entertainment! It moved on not unlike National Treasure with N. Cage. Now neither National Treasure or The DaVinci Code can be taken as examples of good detective stories unfolding like Commisioner Morse or other Brit. investigative series'. Factually it is hard to understand that the book or the movie were to pose any threat to Christianity, the simplest of research demonstrates difficulties in it's ideas. If one must talk of threats (as many Christians do en regards to the film), perhaps the threat lies not in it's ideas but rather in the response of the uncritical masses that fill cinemas and devour fiction novels? Fine, believe what you want to believe, but whatever happend to good old critical thinking?
The DaVinci Code is good entertainment. But, for heaven's sake, enjoy it - as entertainment!
