A review of the Da Vinci Code
Excerpt from Ace’s review, which appears to be more entertaining than the film itself:
Langdon concludes his speech by noting the search for symbology is the search for “the truth.” Really? I would think it was a search for what our distant ancestors believed, how they viewed their world, etc., not for “the truth.” We can learn “the truth” about our distant ancestors, but we can’t really learn “the truth” from them, as in “the truth about how the world really works,” because they were, how do I put this?, friggin’ retards. They thought lightning was made by Thor and disease caused by little gnomes living in your snot. These are the people we’re supposed to learn “the truth” from, through their symbology?
We read the book, mostly because it was so strange to see so many people walking around with a hardcover thriller. After reading the book, it was even stranger to see so many people walking around with a hardcover thriller. Most of the anti-Catholic drivel in the book went right over our head because the writing was that bad. Ace seems to have remembered it, however.
