Thanks for your trust, querida! I'm waiting for your opinion!
There's something else I wanna say - I liked too the fact that the movies is filmed really in the Louvre and in other real churches - it was amazing, I felt as I'm there it was very impressive!

KISSES!

Vania, I'm curious, but have you seen it in Bulgarian or in English ? It is just a question without important but I'd like to know...

I saw it in English with Bulgarian subtitles - in Bulgaria all the movies in the cinemas are with subtitles (except the movies for children). Sometimes it' better because you can hear the original, the real voices of the actors.

OK. I prefer the original version too. In France, we have the choice, French or original version, but only in the big cities. In the country, all movies are in French.

But for the Da Vinci Code, as Audrey Tautou is French, we understand well what she said because she has a rather strong accent. And we can hear Jean Reno's awesome voice !!!

Yeah, Audrey had a verrry cute accent and Jean Reno is wonderful actor, as all the others in this movie by the way I've just understood that this saturday the channel FoxLife will show Le Fabuleux destin d'Amelie Poulain I'm soooo happy - that's one of my favourite movies I watched it maybe 4 times

Unfortunately in Spain the films are dubbed

I think that it´s a pity, because I prefer the original!

I think I have to wait for the DVD to see it in all it´s splendour!


BUT...I havený seen it yet

Perhaps this weekend!

In my country the movies are all in the original language with subtitles!



They have already tried to dubb them, but audiences reacted verrrrryyy badly , soooo they gave up!!

I haven´t seen it yet One of my friends is going bto get the tickets today for tomorrow evening!!!

Girls!

I am going to watch the Da VINCI CODE this evening!
Finally!
One of my friends has already bought the tickets

I HOPE THERE WON`T BE ANY POWER BREAK!
THAT WOULD BE SOOO UNLUCKY!!

i`ll TELL YOU MY OPINION WHEN I GET HOME!!!

Wooooow!!! I'm a bit envious, Vanichka I adore to watch all the movies in the original language.. but.. in Russia, they show everything only in russia.. so I can hardly find any film in english or in french..

Dear Bea, I'm soo glad you have the tickets already! I hope you are going to enjoy the Da VINCI CODE!

Dear Girls!

I have just watched the movie and I can say that I enjoyed it very much!

The room was full and there were even priests in the audience!
, although officially the church advised ti "ignore" the film!
I think that I am " A cafteria Catholic" because Sometimes I make my own rules although I am Catholic!
I think that most catholic people in most Catholic countries are already renewing our faith !!!!! and that will bring fruit sooner or later!

OF COURSE WE DO NOT BELONG TO THE POWERFUL AND MIGHTY! , but Jesus Christ prefered the commom people and even the poor and helpless! SOOO.....
I just want to say a word about THE OPUS DEI!
Personally I would not join it... , but I think DAN BROWN overrreacted over it.....

well,.. WE HAVE MINISTERS IN OUR GOVERNMENT THAT BELONG TO THE OPUS Dei...one of our Presidents belonged to the Opus DEI...most of the owners of our banks belong to the OPUS DEI...even some of our national football teams players belong to the OPUS DEI!
I cannot see these people, at least in my country, as being a bunch of conspirators and rascals!!!
We may disagree with them but we respect them!

BUT...I LOVED THE FILM I think this one does not let the book down


SWEET DREAMS!!!

Thanks Bea,
Your remarks were very interesting. I had no idea that so many people, you might "know", are belonging to Opus Dei. I'm sure Dan Brown overreacted, but still it doesn't feel ok for me...

Haha...so you say there were priest in the room This is great!! Really, I mean this. I absolutely admire priests who are open-minded, capable of seeing things like you do, still remaining a ferm beliver. I think there are few like this.

Well..acording to you, I'm definetly "a cafteria Catholic". But what does this mean exactly?!

Thanks for your comments, I find them very interesting
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. :<33:

I think a "cafeteria Catholic" is someone who decides according to their own moral voice which of the church's policies or platforms to support or oppose, rather than supporting everything the church recommends.

(Like in a cafeteria, where you can choose what you want to eat!)

I've not heard this term before but I like it... :study: :study:

Edit: oh, sorry to butt into the conversation... Maybe this question was not intended for me...

Hehe...just pick what you want, what you like..it's ok
I haven't heard it either (obviously ) but it's a good term. There are many people like this, you know?! At list around me. Of course, nowadayds, you can't really accept everything the Church says..

Oh no...It's ok.
It was meant for anybody...I asked Bea first, because she mentioned this term and I was sure that she knows how to explain it. But you're very nice to search for the term and answer me It's pretty much clear now.
Thank you for the link

You're welcome!!

Actually I'm having one right now, while I'm working on my "policy paper". I find myself incapable of finishing it and I'm hoping coffee will "help".

Coffee is good...

Enjoy your coffee, dear Z

I am a cafteria Catholic too!! In fact LOOOOTS...Thousands..I daresay, millions of people in catholic countries are.

As for the Opus Dei...I think Bea, does not know the people...We , in POrtugal, simply know that they belong to it, because they have said it or our newspapers have written It!
Most of them are common enough, although very serious!

One of our ministers was always defending that women should have more children ..but well. here women don't wish it...only want to have the children they choose and plan to have soooo...we are all excommunicated!

DEar Z

Thank for the link to the explanation of what a cafteria Catholic is!!!

Yes, this was a very useful link, I wondered what is this
Thanks, Z!

Dear girls!

I used the term Cafteria Catholic because one of the bishops , who in the movie belongs to Opus Dei uses it!
I saw the movie in english and with the subtitles in portuguese! And that expression caught my attention!

I just want to say that I liked Tom hanks a lot!! He is wonderful!
And all the athmosphere in Paris is mesmerizing!

I think you are very right!!!
That is the fate of hundreds and hundreds of catholic women!
But...you know...I think that most young people in the church don't care now!!! Most priests understand the fact and they don't even bother to talk a bout it!
IT WILL ONLY BE A QUESTION OF TIME TILL IT CHANGES!!!!

Dear Maria!

Just a word to you, about this!
I know you are going to watch this in spanish because the movies over there are dubbed so you wouldn't be able to perceive the following!
When the cahracters that belong to Opus DEi speak they do it either in latin or in spanish!
I think that it is a terrible injustice to people in Spain today...and to your country..which is becoming one of the most developed countries in Europe today!!! ! As a matter of fact Spain is growing more than Germany these days!!! There are people that belong to Opus Dei in Spain..but there are lots of people who are Opus DEi in other Catholic Countries!
Soooo...why pick on Spain????


LOOOOVE YOU ALLL!

I wonder if there is a term cafeteria orthodox
it's not important, I just think that it must be, because there's cafeteria catholic

Dear Z!!!

Thanks for the the link about the explanation!

I just wanted to say this!

Most Catholics did not want this Pope!
We wanted someone that had more open ideas!
I think that change in certain issues cannot be deterred now!!!
Millions od Catholics have been waiting for it!!
