DaVinci Code Comes Late to India
I'm sure many people went to go see the DaVinci Code in many movie theatres this weekend. However, disclaimers at the end of the film led to a delay for the film's release in India. The Censor Board required the film to state: "it is a work of pure fiction and has no correspondence to historical facts of the Christian religion". However, at the end of the film, Sony Pictures states: "the characters and incidents portrayed and the names herein are fictitious, and any similarity to the name, character or history of any person is entirely coincidental and unintentional", and didn't believe they needed additional information. The Censor Board now is now among Catholic groups and the Christian community involved in the controversy over the film.The movie is expected to be released this Thursday, as long as the disclaimers are inserted.

The controversy that surrounds this movie seems to be so much lately. I haven't actually read the book and know very little of its content, but have heard many different things about the book and the movie. I believe that the disclaimers are important to have because the thinking of some people revolves around the idea that what is seen in the media is real. It really comes down to the chemistry of different people. I also think that it really depends upon the area in which the movie is being shown and how an impact is to be seen. In America movies are part of our everyday lives and it is very easy for us to distinguish fact and fiction. We enjoy being entertained and movies are a very large part of us. Other countries may not see it this way however. They may dig deeper into the meaning of the movie and try to derive something out of it that is really fiction or something that they see is deep but really isn't. The reaction of a culture to this movie will vary based upon how they view media.
