I am all excited that the movie Da Vinci Code(DVC) has been released. My favorite book turned into a movie and the lead played by my favorite hero Tom Hanks. Oh it’s like one of the nicest things that can happen to you! Personally i think Catherine Zeta JOnes would have been wonderful as sophie. Never mind.Nah, I am not a movie buff. I am more the type of enjoying a movie from the comfort of my couch with 'lays' in one hand and pepsi in the other. Not to forget the remote and the constant channel surfing(during commercial breaks of the main program!) Oh the thought of it makes me smile in bliss...though not sure if I will watch the 'DVC' at a theatre or at home dont know if I can wait till then?
The first book I read, of Dan Brown's was Da Vinci code. I read it with undivided attention, actually I was hooked on to it from the start. Oh what a masterpiece! I don’t want to delve into the controversy of whether it is a fact or fiction. But the way the story is spun is amazing. It just unfolds right in front of you providing you awe-inspiring fiction-suspense-thriller quenching your thirst for entertainment, adrenaline rush, travel.
As any DVC reader will agree(united we stand, readers!) with me that they want to see the movie for the pure pleasure of giving credit to the imagination. I know we are not Ron Howard, but we are a director in our own right when we started reading DVC, ain't we?
Then I went on to his other works viz; "Digital Fortress’,’ Angels and Demons' and 'Deception Point' in that order. I loved DVC, liked Angels and Demons. His other works don’t compare with DVC though. I remember reading in Dan Brown's site that he had done research for nearly two for this book and it has paid off.
Is DVC more than a just a book? Yes, according to me. The most interesting fact is that the revenue it has spun. This book is like that .NET boom. Its like any body who touched the book earned money( not really, though) ha ha!. Revenue is being created through all possible forms. The travel industry and the gaming industry has had a great turnover. There are so many games with DVC as the theme and more and more peple are taking the so called "DA VINCI tour". The literature industry has gained the controversy of this century(probably the next one,too). People can have endless chats and discussion on this very topic(just like us!).Web ads, articles oh my God. i am sure as i am typing this article out, there is someone who has getting benefitted by DVC. What i am to write about The movie industry, then? are v talking millions? zillions? may be!
Thanks to Dan Brown for this and also the fact/fiction novel of my time!!!
