The Da Vinci Code

btw people, the real Opus Dei isn't as described in the book, it's only rumors about the stuff Silas did 😖

I heard Langton is gonna be played by Tom Hanks and Sophie by the girl that played Amelie (no idea how to spell her name in english and excuse me if this has already been mentioned, but no time to read the thread over)

Actually, Opus Dei was used symbolically.. and also the Priory of Sion... The thing Dan Brown wouldn't admit of course. He rather wanted to be that way. Priory of Sion is not actually the secret society where those mentioned prominent people counted in... It won't be so secret anymore if Brown insisted to reveal the real name of the secret society in his story.

errr...Jury... the Priory of Sion DOES exist

and in the end secrets do get out y'know 😖

Yes. It DOES exist... but not the one Dan Brown described in his book.

and you know all societies/organisations in the entire world so you can say with such certainty it doesn't exist in the way he described?

Simply because the list of the Priory members remains an "allegation"... and without proof. 🙂

The Priory of Sion does NOT exist! It was a French hoax created for a laugh in 1956, fulfilling the surrealist ambitions of its three creators. It did take its name from a short lived Catholic orde rhtat wrapped up in 1617. They took the name of an irrelevantm forgotten order and created the entire line of bullcrap that Holy Blood/Holy Gail, and later DaVinci Code, is based upon.

I cannot believe rational people still believe this stuff after its exposure. The very people themselves who are the source of all of it admitted the hoax years ago.

Nearly every single thing listed in the Davinci Code is not real- regardless of what Dan Brown says.

WHAT!

the point of a secret organisation is that it's a secret 😉
but of course Dan Brown knowing so much is a bit silly, those parts are, imo-oc, not true

Anyone thinking of reading 'The Da Vinci Code' should disgard their desire now! It's a piece of trash wrapped in fake silk.

because ...

...and...?

You are both right...'Because' and 'and'.

I'm good at guessing games 😐

do you have any actual reason to say it's a piece of trash and are you willing to post your reason? if so, please do

there 😐

Oh...la...la...Well, let me see...It's written like a Clive Cussler novel, it's inaccurate and it's ends like any other middle-of-the-road, trashy 'thriller' novel. Oh, and it's the litterary equivalent of a Big Mac.

Do you require further embellishment?

In what point do you render the novel as 'inaccurate'?

Care to point the reasons why? 🙄

Do your own research, my friend...The internet can be used for other things besides posting on KMC.

Are you the internet?

ermm...you don't read a thriller novels to get knowledge about stuff. you read them because you want some entertainment. (at least it is my reason) and i don't see why are you forbidding this entertainment to some ppl 😖 if they want to they can read it. even they like it good for them, coz they had fun. and it was actually slightly better than average 'trashy' thriller. (at least you didn't know how it will end after reading first two sentences yawn)

there are two ways of classify a good book
1. it has a big point, and is important. and i'm unable to read it. coz it is depressing me too much.
2. it is a 'read-me' book. you take it, you read it and book is read. you are having some fun in the meantime.

and why are you making such a big deal of it?

(and btw if you want to compare something to big mac, try reading harlequins)
