If this is true, then why the slew of non-fiction conspiracy theory books and documentaries that aim to add credibility to Dan Brown’s ludicrous claims? Surely you believe that SOME people take Dan Brown’s claims to heart. And surely you find nothing wrong with slandering a worldwide religious community (as if Catholics are the only major group where it is allowed to slander and not be called bigotted). Let’s see if Dan Brown grows some balls and starts attacking other religions, having them be the center of some clandestine, nefarious plot, and then pull the “but it’s only fiction” line. He won’t. Newsweek reprints a story about a negative aspect among some bad seeds in the Muslim community, and riots ensue. Theo Van Gogh makes a movie critical of the Muslim community and he is stabbed in broad day light. But Catholics? Fair game. Freedom of disseminating slander. Don’t like it–don’t read it–just don’t tell me what to do. Hypocrites, you all.
Wow Nick, go back to church or something. You do know that Brown had nothing to do with those “conspiracy theory” books or documentaries. Those were made by people that can’t separate the line between fact and fiction. If people believe a fictional book is true, thats their problem, not Brown’s. True life events are fictionalized all the time in books and movies and t.v. The problem is people who believe absolutely everything they see or read and people like you who get WAY to serious about a work of fiction. Unclinch those cheeks just a little bud.
i think it will be good…..the book was way better than the code….i cant wait
Aaron, for your statement to have an even remote chance of making sense, then the vast majority of History Channel documentarians and non-fiction conspiracy theorists would just as easily go after, say, the magical abilities in “Crystal Skulls” or “Arks of the Covenant”. But they don’t. People take Dan Brown at his word when he says that the fiction is the story, but the facts behind the action-adventure are all true… facts which he plagiarized from conspiracy theorists before him. Just because YOU didn’t fall for it doesn’t mean that MANY didn’t. This is the problem inherent in mixing real life organizations, real life lay orders, real life artists with a novel built upon conspiracies. And therein lies the problem, dude. You can’t just say that a billion-member religion is built upon lies and then just whisk it away because it’s written within the context of an action packed novel. People can understand which parts of Dan Brown’s writings he meant as fact, vs those as fiction.
Nick, you’re really not getting me so I’ll rephrase: IT’S NOT DAN BROWN’S FAULT THAT IDIOTS MISTAKE HIS FICTIONAL NOVEL FOR TRUTH. It’s like those idiots who watch movies like fanrasia over and over because they are convinced there is some message deep inside. People just read way to much into things, thats all.
Aaron, I DO get you, and you are wrong. Dan Brown stating, outright, over and again, that his writing contains controversial elements that are really true, and then he goes into detail as to what those elements are. You don’t have the right to say that you have the ability to reach inside Dan Brown’s brain and discern that he was pulling one on his fans. Besides, it’s common knowledge that the majority of his findings come from a controversial book “Holy Blood, Holy Grail”, which is in the non-fiction department. Look…… I don’t care if Dan Brown, as he stated to Matt Lauer on the Today show, wishes to challenge long-held assumptions about religion. My point is, if someone is to do this, he should at least get his facts right. Anybody who gets basic knowledge wrong, like claiming that a lay organization has monks, has spent far too long reading conspiracy books like above. Folks like you deserve to understand the power of fiction, when it meddles with real-world facts.
And THAT hairdo isn’t heinous? It must be part of Hanks’ contract for these movies.
