da vinci code....decoded....

have just came back from da vinci code the movie and i must say that the movie is really quite GOOD....!!! am serious....yes yes yes, all the stuff about how film adaptations of books are just crappy versions but somehow thsi movie has managed to portray every darn important detail in the book albeit in a very translucent and brief way but still there is still the recognisable dan brown streak in it....although there were some parts of the book that they did not put in and probably for good reason too for the producers as the show was around 2 and half hours long....wow....

n yes, the actors and actress (yes, one solitary lead actress) are quite in their element i must say... especially sir Ian McKellen and the guy who did the character on Silas the albino monk. these two really stood out and sad to say, fan of tom hanks i may be, but in this movie, he somewhat pales in comparison...but what the heck, i bet he did his best (wink wink)

and the guy who played silas has such a buff body man....he stripped down to the nude to play the self-flagellation part...i bet creepy as he might be, he has the burning, smoldering look in his eyes that can melt any girl's heart...i know mine did...into a messy puddle i must add....hehe...

but, i expect myself to come out of the cinema questioning the christianity and its basis but when i did come out, i found myself unable to raise even a doubt on that...it's as if the movie did the opposite....especially the last part when tom hanks said "believe what you believe" as if telling the viewers that this is a FICTION and did ask sophie whether it was worth it to destroy the faith that people had and still have....even yours truly.....
