::Self-Review
I watched this friggin' movie last Sunday at Ayala. There were actually long lines of moviegoers when we came at the ticket booth. Okay, this movie became a hit because of its controversial theme. Well, in a Christian country like here in the Philippines this is not unnatural. I mean OA Catholics are always like that. When they heard of stuff that seemed to contradict their belief they become restless. I'm a Catholic myself but I don't follow all the superstitious beliefs of some of my fellows. In short I don't belong to the "OA" class. Lol!
The movie is all about the quest for the HOLY GRAIL and the struggle of a few Catholic leaders to protect the divinity of Jesus Christ. The old friggin' rumor of Mary Magdalene and Jesus Christ life, as a couple is the very theme of the story. And Sophie Neveu is from the Saint Clair bloodline and it means that she's a Sangreal...she's the very last descendant of Jesus Christ that's still alive. Yeah, Sophie Neveu, a French police who is an atheist...it's very ironic...the movie is very ironic...I mean Robert Langdon, the famous writer and a professor of Religious Symbology and the very main character of the story is a Catholic. An atheist and a Catholic cross path and went to a chase to decode the Da Vinci Code. Hmmn...The story is actually interesting and kinda minds twisting. I love it.
It actually started when Sophie's grandfather died and left them some clues in the whereabouts of the Holy Grail. He left clues in anagrams and symbols that were successfully decoded by Robert and Sophie. And the chase went on as the police tailed them because a Bishop told their leader that Robert is a killer. And them came Leigh the witty and wicked villain, came the albino monk who chastise himself by inflicting pains to himself the way Jesus died in the cross, and other villain characters who made the quest more difficult but full of adventure. Well, Sophie and Robert succeeded in their quest. They ended up in the Holy Grail and discovered Sophie's true identity and then the reunion of the whole descendants of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.
"God uses us all"
This packin' phrase uttered by the wicked bishop when his Monk comrade died irritated me so much. Making God as an excuse for our mistakes and miscalculations isn't that cool. I mean we don't even know for sure if what we believe is true. I mean "Faith is believing in something we know ain't true"...and on and on...and on...
"What matters is what we believe"
I kinda like this phrase uttered again and again by Robert at the finale of the movie. Yeah. If we believe that this stuff existed then be it. After all nothing will change in us if we'll believe that this stuff existed. We only gain knowledge that will test the strength and foundation of our faiths and beliefs.
