Da Vinci

Watched the movie on Friday night with homegroup. I thought I'd be too tired to concentrate on the movie, since I only had 4 hrs sleep (self inflicted because of the conference event, so am not asking for sympathy!).

I thought the movie was interesting. I can't compare it to the book as I've not read it yet. However, credit must be given to Dan Brown for how cleverly he uses symbols and came up with the plot. Also how he wound facts into fiction, which explains why some non-Christians are adamant that bits of his book can be taken as facts of Christianity.

The publicity and hype are good for others to hopefully discover what Christianity is about and what the truth is, rather than believing in fiction. The sad thing is those who claim to know all about Christianity and rubbish it, using 'facts' from Dan Brown's book. Most of these are not founded in valid research and the originators of some of the 'facts' have also been on media confessing that it was made up. But yet, as is typical, some do not read past the headline to see what the whole thing is about, rather just believe that fiction is fact.

For those who are interested in finding out more (go on, you know you want to!) :)
