STORYLINE
~~~~~~~
I am going to review the storyline from a fictitious point of view. There is much debate surrounding the factual accuracies and other ...
Advantages: Once you start watching you cant stop. Disadvantages: Very difficult to get in to but all is revealed
the whole film and the answers will be revealed, which is why i want to watch it again to understand it a bit more, as there are so many facts to take in and there are lots of twists and turns to the story and it keeps you guessing until near the end.
I will not pretend that i know the ins and outs of the davincicode i dont think any one really does because you will never know what is true or false but this is a fasinating insight to know not everything you were taught as a youngster is not actually the truth. The film does reveal an awful lot of facts which are true, and you dont really need any knowledge of the holy grail as a lot will be explained.
I have not read the book so i cannot compare but by all accounts it goes into much more detail so that is now on my things to do.
This is a 12 rated DVD and runs for approx 2hrs 22 ...
Advantages: I suppose it would save you reading the novel Disadvantages: It's utter crap
Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is called in when the curator of the Louvre is found dead in the museum, covered in mysterious sigils. But Langdon soon finds himself framed for the murder and on the run with French cryptologist Sophie Neveu. They are quickly embroiled in a conspiracy far larger than they could ever have imagined; one that could threaten the tenets of Christian belief. But powerful people are determined that the secret remains just that and they are willing to kill to protect it.
Though Ron Howard's output is usually less than innovative, he can normally be relied on to make good, solid, diverting fare. It's unclear what went so spectacularly wrong with "The DaVinciCode". The film takes itself too seriously throughout, which is odd considering the source material is nothing more than an airport/beach novel struck ...

DVD Description
Readers who devoured every page of Dan Brown's THE DA VINCI CODE may have pondered how much truth there was behind this work of fiction. The History Channel works along a similar line of thinking with this exploratory documentary on much of Brown's work, which opens up a fascinating discourse on a number of topics raised in THE DA VINCI CODE. A variety of experts in religion and art offer commentary on Brown's theories, particularly concerning the possibly misleading information the Church has provided to its followers. The work of Leonardo Da Vinci is also thoroughly dissected, with the programme makers sticking closely to Brown's words in order to see whether any truth was contained within them. A great complementary piece to a massively popular book, BEYOND THE DA VINCI CODE should help satiate the voracious appetites of readers whose curious minds have been set wondering by Brown's book.
