Why Refuting Da Vinci Matters

Amy Welborn has her review of the movie up. Interestingly, it varies from most reviews in that she goes into the historical inaccuracies more than anything else. As she already knows, the regular movie critics have taken care of the problems with the movie as entertainment.

For those who say that it's just a movie (or fictional book) and that no one takes it seriously, check out an early comment on that post made by Gabriel. He obviously went to a great deal of time and trouble to post his refutations of Amy's analysis of inaccuracies. Similarly, this bit of email she received shows other ways that criticism of the movie or book can be taken in these politically correct times. I found the email to be the most astonishing, frankly.

Things like this just make it even more obvious that knowing the facts (or lack thereof) behind that particular story do matter very much indeed.

For another review that I found interesting, check out Michael Novak at NRO's reaction.

I think I have never for two-and-a-half hours felt so surrounded by decadence and hostility toward Christ.
