why base your decision to see the movie on what other people think? why not go and make your own assessment of the movie? i read the book and ill certainly watch the movie to see how it compares. oh yeah, and yesterday's image was stunning, and another reason why this site still remains my favorite photoblog on the net.

A plastic wrapped Madonna and child. It goes with plastic Jesus statues no doubt. Someone finally trying to hide the graven images Catholics fill their temples with?

I prefer the Jewish and Moslem temples which avoid any notion of anyone knowing what these people looked like and obey the ban on graven images as given in Genesis.

Nice photo...and The DaVinci Code was very good, it followed the book, so if you liked the book you'll probably like the movie.

Nice shot, they look very sad, as they have to move to the basement cause some more popular icon get there place.

... Christo? (!)

:)

Thanks Sam

don't listen to the critics!
what do theyyy know. you gotta find out for yourself sam!

Very interesting!Like artwork of Cristo!?
The Da Vinci Code is hidden in the wall pattern!

I didn't read the book and I'm a completly non-religious person, and I loved the movie. Its great entertainment.

Oh, this is disturbing, and I'm not even Catholic.

i think the movie has been underrated because people read the book. when you read a book and then see the movie made from it, its always kind of decieving.

movie was pretty good, the acting was maybe subpar, maybe that's why it got a bad review. however for me, it was all about the story! what an entrawling plot. tasty treat.

Yeah, I saw the movie last night having not read the book and I'd say its as good as todays picture.

The movie is underrated compared to the book? I thought the book was a formulaic piece of trash, so I can only imagine how bad the movie is.

Yes Mim I agree, and Sam I have noticed that the friends I have that DID read the book first are giving the lesser of the reviews, and the ones who have NOT are giving great reviews. I will find out how it is for myself tonight. ....P.S. I love how you view the world.

I just got back from the movie. It was GREAT. But i guessed the ending.

Godspeed.

The importance of the Da Vinci Code lies far beyond it's cinematic presentation, and rather poignantly symbolic, like your image, it allows us to see the veil of untruths and unify our ideas of divinity.

I think you should definately see the movie despite what the critics are saying. I saw it on Saturday and I must say, it was actually a very good movie.

Good shot, perhaps you should forget the Davinci code all together and post it for the season 2 finale of Lost!

believe it or not, i've yet to read the book. it's nice for you to jump out of your element with pictures like these.

Hate it ;(

If you read the book, well then you don't really need to waste money on seeing the movie (wait for rental). But, if you haven't read the book, I recommend seeing the movie and taking your own interpretation of it (critics are mostly biased anyway).
It's very much a historical story rather than religious dogma and I think that's the misconception most people have.
There were religious protesters outside the theatre when I went to see, yet I wasn't sure why exactly they were protesting the film. Their signs were filled with phrases saying "Blasphemy provokes God's wrath" and countless messages preaching that the film is "vulgar fiction." Well... yes... it IS fiction. And what exactly in the film is blasphemous that IS NOT in any other film? Right... people are just ignorant, most of the time.

a comment perhaps on how the west keeps it's religion very much under wraps? or am i reading too much into this?

If you enjoyed the book, you'll enjoy the movie. I'm not sure what all those critics are harping on about. Tom Hanks and Audrey Tatou were neither of my first choices for those lead roles, but they did a good job.

Anyway, great capture, as always!

this is a wonderfully symbolic shot. I love it.

You have a cool site keep up the good work
