The "CODE" Speculation

The much propelled controvertial hipe of the movie Da Vinci Code,has,as it seemed to have come to an end,has screwed up again.The Protest of the clergy and the christian communities and the aggitation across the country has taken root again.One thing I could not understand is, why was not that much of importance and global recognition in terms of opposition not given to the 40 million sold copies of the "book" Da Vinci Code.As we planned to watch the movie on the First day last show in the PVR,Forum Mall,we were denied any ticket for uncertainity of its release,despite the nod given by the Indian Government. I don't understand the reason why our people are expending so much of energy on what the world has accepted as a mere fiction after it has been released in 44 countries,including the Vatican.The world has moved on since it burnt heretics at the stake.What purpose have the bans ever served? if in case this movie is going to be banned,it is just going to feed the pirating industry more.If the movie goes underground,people hitherto unknown would vent out,like the danish cartoonists and the book Satanic verses which became the most coveted book after its ban.Are we a catholic community not turning intolerant,aiding and abetting the all pervasive fundamentalism? Surely as an enlightened and democratic community,can we not match fiction with faith? In fact the verdict is alredy out,The film has already been canned in cannes,the faithful may call this the devine intervention.When the film promises to die a death by boredom,it will have its closure.A layman seems to have understood the film better than the protesting laity.The way,the intervention by the name of protests has progressed,has for sure has demanded some heads down.
