The protests are worldwide against this movie, but I'm determined to make my own judgements on it, on my own terms.

The fact that those in the Church don't see it as deeply respectful and loving is beyond me.
If anything in this movie is considered "the biggest secret ever kept" it's because they believe it would have a huge effect on everyone hearing it. Meh. Not really.

The movie was ok. I can understand why there is much talk about it. I liked the idea of symbolism, especially the Goddess theme being such a powerful theme throughout.
Yet, I have my reserves... In my opinion it's a "fairytail" like most organised religions.
The best part of the movie for me? The music. Extremely powerful. I went out and got the soundtrack immediately.

The Greek Orthodox Church is pissed, that's all I know for sure.

All opinions are valid, of course. The movie was entertaining enough - its a Ron Howard film, so how can it not be amusing? It is hardly worthy of protests like "It's an offence to Jesus" or "It insults my religion," though. I did not read Dan Brown (heard he is a shit writer) but did pick up other books and doco's. The movie is layman on theory from the beginning of semiotics to the Hollywood end, and I am sure Martin Scorcese did much more christian cultural damage with "The Last Temptation of Christ."
In the end, a view and an opinion, nothing more than that.

"refers broadly to a number of historical movements orchestrated by the Pope and aimed at securing Papal religious and financial authority in Europe through the conversion, and sometimes persecution, of alleged heretics." Wikipediakendo1 said:

Sorry, Charley, but my guess is that kendo was questioning the spelling. In the UK at least, it is "inquisition", not "inquision"CharleyH said:

Haven't seen it, waiting for DVD. (Saving my money for X-men). It is only a movie, right? I mean, not a documentary. The Last Temptation of Christ, Dogma, they were also movies, but people are getting bent out of shape because they wonder if some of us believe everything we read, see, or hear. On second thought, where's my placard?

It was an OK movie, pretty faithful to the book.
The local diocese said seeing the movie would be a mortal sin. I risked my soul, and if I'm going to hell for it, it should have been better. In that regard, I feel kind of ripped off.
