The invisible Da Vinci Code
Nice job, guys! Let's defend the Christian faith! Amen! Amen! And while we're at it, why don't we also ban the sale of all Dan Brown books? Oops, too late... those bad bad books have been on the bestseller lists for the like last two years or so. But hey, it's still not too late to arrest all those Dan Brown fans and throw them in jail! Yeah!
Jesus Christ, our government is full of morons.
It's fine if the owner of a theater decides not to show a movie for whatever reason--the SM chain of cineplexes has a policy of not showing R-rated films. But for the government to come in and ban theater owners from showing a popcorn movie... what the hell is that? And what's next? Passing a law that bans restaurants from serving meat dishes during Holy Week?
Historically, the Christian Church has dealt with "heresy" by burning the books of heretics, and sometimes, even burning the heretics. Thankfully, the Church has gradually lost much of its political power in the last few centuries. But now, the government is going into the ring as the Church's tag team partner? Great.
To the Manila city council and all the government officials who want to ban The Da Vinci Code: go fuck yourselves. We are free to watch whatever we want. A government that claims to be democratic should have no business telling people what to watch, what to read, and what to think.
For Christ's sake, leave us alone.
they
done it to dogma, they are doin it now to da vinci. it all comes down to the money. governement will declare red is blue if u pay them enough. dats wat the church did. they get money from vatican dont they?
Who knows if money was involved
in this case. Possibly yes, most likely no.
Still, no matter how you look at it, the decision of the Manila city council is undemocratic, even assuming that the councillors had the best intentions of protect our moral values in mind. Good intentions don't make bad decisions any less wrong.
they're just stupid
since other countries didn't even ban it. Why make such a big fuss about a movie that comes from a "fiction" section of a book store. They just want to look morally upright even though they keep on stealing hard earned money from the people they serve.
I just watched the movie,
and I must say that it doesn't deserve this level of controversy. It is quite toned downed compared to the book.
That it is....
Toned down and dumbed down... what a waste!
