My side of the story
While everyone have his or her reactions, comments and feedbacks on how Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code went. Watching it two times on the big screen in separate occasions urged me to come up with my own version to tell. I think I have enough annotations gathered to make a conclusion.
People from different walks of life have different interpretations and therefore the Catholic Church should not fear that the people who will watch it would be misguided. Why? Da Vinci is not shown where the "MASAs" frequently watch movies. I am not deriding people who belonged in the class C society but what I am trying to say here is that the population of people who will come and see the film have broader and wider views. Most have probably read the book and would just like to compare if the movie is half as splendid as the book itself.
The first time I watched the "Da Vinci" was in Promanade, Greenhills with hubby before he left, and the next one was in Eastwood with my sister. Both cinemas cater to the A and B classes, which are no doubt, have comprehensive standpoints. But then again, I am not bootlicking classes A and B, they also have bad sides its just that most of the breeds the upper society produces have gone to Catholic schools and have learned during their primary years the story of Christ. If and when a child belonging in the upper class society suddenly decided to let loose the values he/she has learned in his/her early years is not Dan Brown or Da Vinci's problem anymore. In my point of view, the movie is purely fiction and nothing else. It's not anything but a picture painted by a genius with a superb imagination.
"The eyes see what the mind would like to see," not really the exact words but it's something to that effect =) It's precisely what the film is telling to its spectators.
