From DaVinci to Claudel
05.26.2006
Last Night I went to see The Da Vinci Code. I had read the book a couple of years ago so I don't recall all of the details. Therefore I probably enjoyed the movie more than those who have just finished reading the book - like my brother who was visibly frustrated by the inconsistencies during the film. However, the book is light on the type of action that makes a good film so I expected changes. The movie also seemed to back away from controversy regarding the catholic church by emphasizing that the films bad guys were a rogue 'Council of Shadows' rather than more directly tied to the Vatican. Now I want to go back to the Louvre for another visit. I believe they moved the Mona Lisa to a larger room. When I was there the crowd was so thick in front of the painting it was impossible to get close to the painting for a good look. The traffic jam was in part due to the fact that it was placed in a room with only one entrance/exit. As magnificent as the Louvre was, I have to say that the greatest surprise for me was the passionate work of Camille Claudel at the Musee Rodin. Her work is as emotional engaging as the life work of Frida Kahlo ( I heart Frida).
