The Personals

The movie was shot in 1998 by Chen Kou-Fu. The next year the movie was presented at the Cannes Festival. The story described in the movie, in my opinion, is rather banal. There is a woman who is rather busy and does not have time for her personal life. However, she is at that very age when everybody around her has a family. She decided to solve the problem with a partner by simply posting an ad in a newspaper. Soon she gets more than a hundred calls.

The Da Vinci Code is a well-known book and movie. As well as being a blockbuster as a film, it also raises some serious religious themes.

Although I was never religious, The Da Vinci Code has changed my perception of religion, possibly forever.

When we talk about religion and its impact to the world and society, these two always come to mind: Confucianism and Christianity. Confucianism was started by Confucius. He lived in China from about 550 to 479 B.C. He never claimed to be god but after his death, those who become his followers started to worship him. Although not many people today would call themselves as Confucianists, the teachings still have a strong hold particularly in Asia (Comparing Confucianism and Christianity, 2008).
On the other hand, Christianity came after the death and resurrection of Jesus. His followers were first called ...

In the past years, movies marked as “based on real events” appear more often. Moreover, some of the researchers, as well as ordinary viewers claim that almost every movie is based on real events.
