I haven't sullied my eyes by either reading the book or seeing the movie. However that doesn't stop me giving my opinion.
The movie was faithful to the book.
Both were crap.
Also Tom Hanks' portrayal of Leonardo Da Vinci in the movie was totally unconvincing (see picture).

You fool, you are treating the Da Vinci Code as if it is a work of fiction. Pay attention - it is a DOCUMENTARY. Like all of my work.
1. Leo didn't work nude, or near nude.
2. Leo didn't use his hands. Not directly at least.
3. Leo used brushes, sat on a stool, and looked at the model instead of glaring at her.
4. Leo had fun doing the picture, and told dirty jokes. (Now you know why she looks mostly annoyed. :) )
Alan, I just knew Tom Hanks' portrayal of Leo lacked verisimilitude. I wasn't sure why... it was a gut feeling. But your comments show that my gut was not leading me astray. They needed someone like you on the production to point out these anomalies. Just between us, I have always thought the Mona Lisa's smile a little too smug... wink wink, nudge nudge.
