Went to see The Da Vinci Code yesterday. Despite the chaotic experience of not having my phone and my fabulous friend was stuck in traffic for half an hour, I enjoyed the movie. Went in with really low expectations because I thought the book, although exquisitely suspenseful, was not very impressive linguistics wise. I was surprised it actually translated into a very good movie when the camera replaced the prose. Knowing the ending didn’t ruin the movie either, because I remembered only pieces of the convoluted plot from reading the book two years ago. Tom Hanks’ hair was a minus, but Audrey Taotou‘s cute French accent was a plus. The albino Silas was very well played by Paul Bettany (he had a less grotesque but absolutely handsome leading role in Wimbledon).
When we got outside the theatre, there was a row of nuns and priests holding signs that included, “DO NOT MOCK MY GOD”. They were all in black, a very sharp contrast against green grass and blue sky in front of the theatre. Somehow my mind had a flashback to the bloodshed of the crusade and the dark secrecy of the Vatican.
