My Pleasure Reading. The Da Vinci Code

The real meaning of the last message is that the Grail is buried beneath the small pyramid directly below the inverted glass pyramid of the Louvre. It also lies beneath the "Rose Line," an allusion to "Roslyn." Langdon figures out this final piece to the puzzle in the last pages of the book, but he does not appear inclined to tell anyone about this.

The final message inside the second keystone leads Sophie and Langdon to Rosslyn Chapel, whose docent turns out to be Sophie's long-lost brother, whom Sophie had been told died as a child in the car accident that killed her parents.

Review. Movie Anonymous

  Even if you haven't even passed outside a theater in your life, you will still know William Shakespeare, the author of the most famous and diachronical theater plays in history of entertainment. 
  The movie by Ronald Emmerich, is from the one side complicating and from the other side propagandical. The screenplay jumps from the New York of today to England of Queen Elizabeth in the 16th century, in England the period is stigmatized by the rebellion of Essex. In the period the theater plays a big part in social life of people. The ruling class can easily control the masses by a theatrical screenplay. Although the play is not much connecting with the life of Shakespeare and it even doesn't show him as the main idea of the film. Shakespeare at the end is the fraud who just wonderfully and luck fully took the plays which today are connected to him. Edward De Vere, Earl of Oxford, is presented as the real author of Shakespeare's works. Edward's life is followed through flashbacks from a young child, through to the end of his life. He is portrayed as a child prodigy who writes and performs A Midsummer Night's Dream for a young Elizabeth I. A series of events sees his plays being performed by a front man, Shakespeare. 
   The movie was difficult and left a feeling of chaos in the end, the flashback of De Veres life, front and back all the time, doesn't let the critic take a central opinion. I saw the movie with another three friends and the result was the same, the expectations of the film, fell apart. For me the rating of the movie is 5 out of 10 and personally, Shakespeare has left to be one of the most amazing writers and nobody with the name Edward De Vere has been left in history. 

Review.Movie. El Greco




 The epic story of the incompatible person  and defender of freedom, Dominiko Theotokopoulo, the well known El Greco.
   In the 16th century, the searching of El Greco for freedom and love is starting from the courtyards of Crete and Venice and going to Toledo in Spain. There, he is facing his biggest foe, the Inquisition.
Without never giving up his war against the "ruling class" of his era, the story of El Greco combines unusual heroism, love, betrayal, but also the power of a man and his creative realization to overcome the barbarity of his period. A story that inspires our days but also triggers creatively the future.
   The movie is more biographical than entertaining, it shows how a big painter got through life in Greece, Italy and Spain, where he was against the ruling class in every place he lived. His life really is amazing and that can entertain you although the movie responds in other questions.
   I personally liked the movie, you could easily fall in the 16th century and understand the sadness and the happiness of El Greco, the romance of the period. Although the screenwriter and the producing team doesn't left anything for the imagination of the viewers, everything was openly discussed and played in the movie, I could rate the movie 8 out of 10 and of course recommend this movie for watching.
