After devouring the book The Da Vinci Code by Author Dan Brown in one and a half days after Xmas of December ‘04, (I just couldn’t put it down, hardly slept), I am re-reading it to be able to remember all the details when I go see the movie on May 19th. I do hope the theatres have early shows so my hubby and I can go see it while our children are at school. So, needless to say, I cannot wait for the Da Vinci Code movie to begin showing at theatres.
I hear comments from people who think their faith will be diminished if they read the book or God forbid see the movie and all I can say is: It is a book, a very interesting and brilliantly written novel so your faith is safe and I would say reinforced. I love my reading and Mr. Brown has my full attention, I have read his other books and the ones with the character of Robert Langdon who is the main player in The Da V inci Code are the better ones.
There is only one fly in the soup; at least on mine; and that is Tom Hank’s hair. I’ll try to ignore it so I don’t get distracted by it. What was he thinking? What was Ron Howard thinking? But the main thing is, it will be a good movie because it is based on a very interesting NOVEL.

If you haven’t seen the movie, DO NOT READ THIS BLOG, as I reveal the ending. Well, I saw the movie. It was OK but I was somewhat underwhelmed. Before going to see the film, I re-read the book so it would be fresh in my mind and once there, I was totally immersed in it so I wouldn’t miss anything. For the most part, it was true to the novel except for the ending. What did changing the relationship of Sophie to Sauniere contribute to the movie? Nothing. Also, what happened to her brother? All of the sudden there are no grandfather or brother. I am sorry to say that I didn’t even feel like watching it a second time and when I did; on DVD; I fell asleep. Sorry Mr. Howard, the theatre walls didn’t shake, nor did my TV room’s. And Tom Hanks’ hair just looked dirty. Sorry Mr. Hanks. Better luck with Angels and Demons and please, don’t embelish or change anything. Mr. Brown’s writing is fine, just let it be.
