[CoDer]

Hehehe... Da Vinci Code is a book of fiction.

Kahit ano pede mo nang paniwalaan pag pinatulan mo ang librong yan.

[GlennSter]

naman naman.dipa pala tapos itech!!!herhehrehrerh

sana gawin nila ang angels and demons..yun ang adventure at action!!

[Flagg]

Aliw yung A&D, parang tanga si Robert Langdon dun pasunod-sunod ng Path of the Illuminati. IMHO, mas maganda lang pagsulat ng DVC, minsan labo ng flow ng A&D e.

[rsnald]

sorry if i reacted violently hehehe, honestly i never read the book or seen the movie but my colleagues (non christians, they are chinese and indians actually) who saw the movie karamihan sa kanila naniwala dun sa movie na yung bible pala eh gawa ni constantine at si jesus daw madami anak and i have to explain to them kung alin ang totoo at hinde.
regarding yung muslim generalization, talaga lang na matindi ang loyalty at pagkakaisa nila pagdating sa religion.some of you might have heard or read in the news how violently they reacted when their prophet was featured in the danish newspaper.

panggulo lang hehehe i'd like to quote this from another blasphemous movie na hindi naman naging controversial ..Kingdom of Heaven

Hospitaller talking to Balian : "I put no stock in religion. By the word religion I have seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called the will of God. Holiness is in right action, and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves, and goodness. What God desires is here (points to Balian's head) and here (points to Balian's heart) and what you decide to do every day will make you a good man...or not."

kaya manood na kayo ng moviesi... may mapupulot din kayong magandang aral
hehehe peace out.

Di ko pa napapanood ang movie pero nagclaim ba ang author nito na ito ay true to life story? kung hindi ibig sabihin nito ay fiction lang at kathang isip lang ng author, walang masama dito kung fiction lang ito,talagang iba sa pinapaniwalaan natin kasi ginawa niya ito para lang ma entertain ang mga manonood at kumita ang pelikula, meron pang nag sasabi na kailangan iBAN dahil fiction ito, bakit diba halos lahat naman ng movies ay mga fiction din, katulad ng Titanic sino ang naniniwala na ganoon ang nagyari sa totoong buhay na merong paliyadliyad pa yung babae(kate winstlet) sa unahan ng barko. PARA SA AKIN kathang isip lang yan to entertain ang movie goers. kaya hindi na dapat pinagtatalunan yan dahil yan talaga ang gusto ng producer na pagusapan para maging curious ang mga tao at panoorin ang pelikula at siguradong pera.

Well said, hehe.

Natawa ako sa paliyad liyad na babae. Wahahaha.

My final thoughts, i still consider this movie as an insult (having ***ual relationship with a human) to Jesus Christ, He is to me my saviour, a divine, perfect and holy, after all He is the Son of God.This is what i stand, this is what i believe and i will die with this belief.Peace to all....

da vinci code is a product of a sick perverted mind bro. i cant even consider this fiction. fiction is star trek, star wars episode 1 to 6, matrix trilogy, blair witch project etc....


but attacking a well-respected icon of the world then hide in the term "fiction" is like saying that Rosanna Roces movies are works of art

if you ask me, if Vatican has attack dogs, they might as well unleash them and hunt this author down, like in the movie "Frailty"

[OTO]

Watched the movie and it's a nice piece of fiction. It would fool weak minded people into believing it is real. I found it hilarious to see all these study groups advertisments on how to debunk Da Vinci Code. Pera na naman...

Fools and their money are easily parted. ;)

OTO: hehehe

[mrpink]

my only problem with this is that catholicism and christianity in general is an easy target because of it's high tolerance for things that attack it .. turn the other cheek kung baga .. not to say that it's a perfect religion .. but i would rather that fiction stay away from religion, any religion, at that unless they want to educate .. i have yet to see a film about mohammed or buddha ..

[theveed]

buddha? hehe madami na...

Western society makes films like the Da Vinci Code possible. If a local production did a film similar to the Da Vinci Code Manila MAyor... something something would ban it as ****ograph. The Roman Catholic Church is pretty tolerant of the film but the Christian fundamentalists are all up in arms. Looney Tunes to the max.

Again it's all about the money. ;) We all know religion is a great money making tax-free venture. Save souls while making the down payment for a home in Forbes, Dasma & Ayala Alabang.

Basta, ke ma-ban ke hindi, parehong may maaapektuhan. Alam na ngang ganon ang content, bakit panonoorin pa? Tapos magrereklamo kesyo ganito kesyo ganon. Ano kaya yon? You have a choice. You have to use your brain (or what's left of it) to make that choice.

In a very ambigious way you make sense. Basta ganun.

that is true to yourself kasi may sarili ka na pag-iisip at may faith ka na. pero pano yun iba may mababaw na pananaw. in case you dont know, the Philippines is very rich with these types of people. hindi pa kasama yun mga teenagers na puwede maapektuhan ng ganitong paniniwala, dahil sa murang kaisipan.

it's like the Jose Rizal subject. most pinoys like to remember Rizal more as the greatest charmer and lover of many women (ika nga di lang pang-local, united nations of women pa ). and I'm very sure isang napakagaling na role model ni Rizal sa mga henerasyon ng pinoy noon at ngaun. kitang-kita naman eh hehehe. mas madami panganay kaysa bunso.


eh kung pati ba naman si Jesus Christ eh pinalalabas na nagkalat ng lahi at nakikipag-orgy with his apostles. imagine na lang natin kung ano takbo ng isip ng mga jologs na tambay sa kanto na na sumisitsit sa mga gf nyo na makakapanood ng da vinci code.

The more they complained the more it became more popular...

From some mature catholics....

"The CBCP(Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines) has a review committee that reviews films, and the review was R(18). But even before this, like a month before, the Bishop's conference already had been talking about this and we were saying that the film is fiction; the novel is also fiction where it was taken from. And we're not calling for banning it, except that we were giving caution to those who will view the film to be mature enough to understand that it's only a movie.

-excerpt from channelnewsasia

“Christianity is exactly the same. The Church is still as it was before,” said Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz, former president of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

“After so much international hype and so much local fuss, the ‘Da Vinci Code’ film is now seen as a non-issue. There was so much debate, worry and reservation over nothing,” he said Sunday.

About the Manila city council decision vs the Catholic Church authority...
excerpt taken from pia.gov.ph "Da Vinci Code "a thriller, that's all," says archbishop"

TO a liberal-minded Church authority, the controversial The Da Vinci Code novel – now with a movie version – is nothing but an entertaining thriller.

Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Oscar Cruz said he saw nothing wrong with either reading the novel or seeing its movie version. He said he had read the book and found no offensive material to the Church. “It was a novel, a fiction, a thriller,” he said, admitting that he was entertained too as he read the book in just a short time.

Contrary to his view, some so-called moralists in the Catholic Church sought for the banning of the movie in Philippine theaters. The Manila city council at presstime was reported to have passed a resolution seeking to prohibit the showing of the movie in city movie houses.

Cruz said he respected such move but called it anyway as “an overreaction.”

overreaction indeed.

excerpt taken from (Inquirer)High Ground : Relevance, not ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ is the real problem
by By William Esposo

PERHAPS nothing can be “more popish than the Pope” than when political figures try to assume the robes of the spiritual leader of the flock. This was what was communicated by the many eyebrows raised upon the City Council of Manila’s decision to ban the film “The Da Vinci Code” from showing in any of its movie houses.
Just who do the Manila city councilors think they are and just what exactly do they think they are doing?

But in the case of the Manila City Council, we cannot see a semblance of justification for their banning of “The Da Vinci Code” from all Manila theatres. How can anyone justify that ban when the Catholic Church itself and the Opus Dei wanted to allow the film’s exhibition?

The Catholic Church and the Opus Dei should be the ones to raise a howl since the film’s storyline (and the Dan Brown novel) had cast both the Opus Dei and the Vatican as sinister Catholic organizations.

Check out the Philippines' very own wikipedia article on all the sourpussing over Da Vinci Code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Da_...he_Philippines

My thoughts with the Manila City Council, Mayor & Congressman Bienvenido Abante Jr. is this, guys resign, you're an embarassment to 21st Century Christianity. To those who elected these people into office, go back to school because you're a bunch of morons for putting them there. This is the height of pandering to the constituents.

[picantorange]

^ Yes, yes. All political figures have a sub-120 IQ. It has become a pseudo requirement to run for public office.

oldblue, hindi ko alam kung ano ang implications if ever maniwala sila don sa pinanood nila maliban sa example mo about the GF absurdly wandering streets where standers by gather. Well, there's also the chance that after this, a handful might abandon Catholicism at mabawasan ang kita ng simbahan kada misa. But so what? Yun ang gusto nilang paniwalaan e. E di yon ang paniwalaan nila. Everyone has the freedom to choose. Sadly though, not everyone can exercise this freedom.

Basta.

No one can blame the movie for feeding them wrong information. If anyone could, I'd blame my lola for shoving Catholicism down my throat.
