The Da Vinci Code..soon in DVD..brought to u by Ah_Long@LowYatt

Ok, this blog is not a film review…If u want to hear me applausing or criticising bout the film, that you have to wait…although for starters, (I’ll give u a hint), it kinda disappointing for me…But anyhow,I like the actor selection..I think they fit into the character…

I watched the film yesterday, of course not in VE (versio’ originale)..it’s fully translated into the superior Russian Languange (of course it apply only to certain people..yeah the local). Its good that I’ve read the book earlier, or else I’d be drowned in the pool of Ancient Slave term describing Priority of Sion and the Holy Grail.

The half-price makcik…and the "exclusive row"

Afiq bought me the ticket, and somehow the art-loving Russian had booked all the seat earlier, forcing us to sit in the first row (yeah, my neck hurts like hell). What strucked me more is that, the Russian do love art and literature into the fullest extend…U doubt what I said? Just look at the pics above. This makcik apparently sit in the "additional rows" in front of me (the chairs shouldnt be there, so technically I’m in the second row). We believe because the whole hall was already booked, and the VIP seat cost double the price of  a non-VIP ticket, so this makcik apparently begged someone "important" to allow her to seat in the additional rows. The "row" actually consists of 2 chairs taken from the nearest cafeteria, and she is the only one who got the chance to buy the special ticket.

While some of u might took it as a cynical view, I on the other hand felt mesmerized by this view. I could never imagine an art-loving makcik will go to MidValley to watch Da Vinci Code, the provocatively-elaborated film about arts and history.

Are Malaysians that ignorance to art & history? I remembered most of my friends told me that history is a boring subject, and dont even let me start with art.. Do u ever visit our Balai Seni Lukis? Not to mention that Galeri Petronas is the only part in Suria KLCC where it is not flocked with people…

Wish that one day our Balai Seni Lukis Negara could be as well-known as Musee Picasso..
