AP: “Da Vinci Code” Protests Widespread
by indieWIRE (May 17, 2006)
“Anger over ‘The Da Vinci Code,’ premiering Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival, escalated as Christian groups from South Korea, Thailand, Greece and India planned boycotts, a hunger strike and attempts to block or shorten screenings. The plot of the movie, adapted by Ron Howard from Dan Brown‘s worldwide best seller, makes the case that Jesus married Mary Magdalene and had children with her. In Thailand, government censors ordered the final 10 minutes of the film be cut following a meeting Tuesday with a coalition of Thai Christian groups protesting the content of the film.” AP reports. |
