Take A Sad Song And Make It Blasphemous??

OK, so.. First day wasn't so bad.. we had popcorn which made everything worthwhile. Second day I didn't have to watch! (Thank you U.N.!!) Last day was ok.. the end of the movie is not as bad as the rest of it.. So I survived the horror of watching it. I have to say that my biggest problem with that movie was that I am ashamed for Tom Hanks. He is normally such a good actor and yet when playing Robert Langdon he shows no emotion! Now, maybe this is the way the producers wanted it, so maybe it isn't his fault.. but still.. I would think that at some point through the movie he would show emotion.. You know, somewhere between being chased through the streets of London by a crazy servant with a gun and having his trusted friend hold a gun to the pretty girls head he should probably show some pretty strong emotion. Other than that, its mostly the changes they made from the book that bothered me. I mostly enjoyed the book because we got to see all of Langdons thought process and how his mind worked. In the movie, we don't get to see a man who thinks everything through, we see someone who can magically create pictures in the air using his mind.. It should take more than 2 seconds to realize that "O Draconian Devils, O Lame Saints" Is an anagram, and more than 4 second to figure out what it translates to. Also, they gave Sophie no credit for solving any of the puzzles in this one. In the book at least, she was the one to figure out they needed a mirror to read the 'sub rosa' carving, but in the movie that role was taken by Langdon..

As for blasphemy.. I personally like the idea of Jesus being a father.. I don't see how that would affect him being the son of God. I think that some people (me not included) would find it offensive. If anything, I would find the fact that they made the bishop out to be evil and murderous to be blasphemous. At least in the book it was obvious that he was tricked and truly thought he was doing good, but in the movie they had him lie to Fache, break his vows to the church and have an innocent man hunted down for no apparent reason.
