The Code

Finally saw "The Da Vinci Code" this week!! I must confess here that my research on "Christianity" "The Holy Grail" and such other related topics on the net over the past few days proved useful in helping me to get to understand the movie better(Cos to be honest,i had not read the novel!!).And the first thing i did after i came out of the theatre was buying the novel!

Despite the criticism that the movie amassed from audiences all over the world,i loved the movie.I guess we must stop comparing the movie with the novel and just enjoy the movie for what it is.It would be so insane to expect a mere 2.5 hour long movie to incorporate the intricacies of the novel!The movie could not have been better than this!


It so happens that whenever bestselling novels are made into movies,the latter fail to enchant the audiences. This is because the expectation out of a movie would be very high,and for obvious reasons scenes and characters would have had to undergo alterations in the movie.So its always better to treat the 2 separately. Only then,watching the movie can become a good experience.Movies just bring to life those fictitious characters and sequences in the novel.And its always fun to see those otherwise imaginative novels as films.Its easier for the mind to see and understand rather than imagining!!We must draw a line between the both-movies are for entertainment while books are for enlightenment.
The novel should be appreciated for its sophistication and the movie for its adeptness in imparting the gist of the novel within a limited time!

"Da Vinci Code" was a long awaited movie and with all the controversies and issues that swarmed aloft after the release of the novel,it was all the more alluring!And i wont be wrong if i say that this is the only English movie probably after the "Titanic" which has become the talk of the town in every part of the world!!With people flocking the theatres in huge numbers everyday,it seems as though "Da vinci Code" is surely here to stay in theatres for a long time to come!!Probably another "Titanic" record in the making!!
