CENSORED CODE



"The most disturbing thing about the Hollywood adaptation of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code is its musical score and sound effects, according to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC).


* This is the first time that a soundtrack is censored by the BBFC *

"Everyone was full of praise for the score but the BBFC felt that
the way it was being used to build up the tension
was simply too much for very young children."

"The BBFC also thought that the film had a very high 'crunch factor'.
You didn't just see the fight scenes, you heard the bones break."



Opus Dei, a conservative Catholic group with 86,000 members worldwide, has also arranged special information evenings in London for the public and has asked Sony Pictures, which produced the new film, to include a caption explaining the film is fiction. Sony has previously declined to reveal whether the film would carry such a disclaimer.
