Dan Brown is the author of the book "The DaVinci Code", from which has been taken a movie with the same title.

The movie "The Da Vinci Code" si directed by Ron Howard and with Tom Hanks as the protagonist. Dan Brown is the guy who wrote the story.

If you haven't read the book, haven't seen the movie or don't know the story I think you should not answer!

I think that is only a work of Dan Brow, a fictitous work is based on the strue story. It depends on the viewpoint of people like or dont like "The Davinci code". The idea of Dan Brow is so logical and reasonable Very Happy .

Just a work...relax Cool

yes, as an author, Dan Brown is great. he is a professor of telling stories. I must admit that I am attracted to the movie very much. although I don't believe Dan Brown's theory.

(please vote)

I am really worried that there are really thousands of people who believe this! but there is not anything true in "The DaVinci Code"...
I challenge anybody you to find just one true thing in the whole of "the DaVinci Code"... I bet you will find nothing at all...

you don't understand...

I said that there is not anything true. it means that every single thing Dan Brown tries to demonstrate is false.

Edoardo, u seem not to like " The Davinci Code " ?
I didnt vote because i considered " The Davinci Code " as a work....a sort of entertainment.
I knew that there are many of people who follow Catholicism almost disapprove " The Davinci Code ". I think when you follow any religions you do believe and protect it because it's ur belief. That's certainty.
As i said "The Davinci Code" is fictitous. I'm acttracted in Dan Brow 's ideas. I'm attracted....that doesnt mean i believe in Dan Brow ' s theory.

I do not follow any religious belief.
I do not mind the da vinci code as a fictious work like many others.

I can't stand that someone like mr Brown could have reached that kind of success by saying that the historical facts mentioned in his work are true, and show "evidence" to support his "theory".
I can't stand that people, many, many people, believe in him and by his book thinking it's historical literature, and not commercial rubbish.

you yourself have written:

The idea of Dan Brow is so logical and reasonable

While it is not!
Because all the book is based on :
an ignorant description of Leonardo's last supper
On a discendence that should go from Jesus to the Merovinges, and the existance of a "secret association" born to hide it, whose members would have been VIP... both of these things had all already been invented by a french priest at the beginning of the 20th century.

I said that The ideal of Dan Brow is so logical and reasonable ...it doesnt mean i support or believe his ideal. That' s just my comment on it and i will forgot it when the time pass. As many novels i read of course i will have some comments at the time when i finished them.

I think you are one of people who are disapprove " The Davinci Code "...that's ok, people have a right to like or don't like and i'm ready to heard how " The Davinci Code" made you annoy Smile

well... I told you... Dan Brown considers as historical facts, true stuff, two things on which all the book is based:

-An ignorant description and ridicoulous interpretation of Leonardo's Last Supper: well, it is very hard to explain this point without quoting the book, which I have only in Italian, and without showing you other Last Suppers painted by other artists... Rolling Eyes
...could anybody quote in english brown's description for me?

-On the fact that there is, or there was, a discendence that should go from Jesus to the Merovinges, and the existance of a "secret association" born to hide it, whose members would have been VIPs, such as DaVinci or Newton... both of these things had all already been invented by a french priest at the beginning of the 20th century, but I don't remember his name now... Wink

And there are some other *beep* in the book which are a little smaller, or less important, which I don't remember now... but it would be interesting to quote all those little things spreaded along the book, that you can only laugh about! You can't not to laugh when you hear about 50 millions whitches burned in Europe... while the worst extimation tells us about 50000... You can't not to laugh about English as a "pure" language, "not influenced" by latin and for this used by Leonardo, while 80% of the English dictionary actually comes from latin and Leonardo's notebooks are FULL of latin terminologies... he really made an afford to study latin, in order to be a "complete" man of culture... and many other funny inventions by mr Brown...

And it annoys me that tourism in Italy ad Paris has hugely increased after the "DaVinciCode" and "Angels&Demons". For example, to see Leonardo's "The Last Supper" you should book today to come in 2008 or 2009...
Did they need the "DaVinciCode" to know that Paris is beautiful? Evil or Very Mad
