Le Code

Keyless encryption? Is it possible? Is it like every other movie, that at one time or another, was considered science fiction and then came into reality. Reality is a very poignant word, when it comes to films, because I feel, that if you can foresee something, or think about a new idea, then it is reachable. Or it is creatable. Otherwise how in the world would we come-up with the idea. Being a film student, I gravitate to films such as this one (The Code Conspiracy) because it challenges my crafts choices. Instead of making another plain and simplistic story, I like to make sure that the audience members consider my theories. The actors were all very good. I like the male lead (Jim Fitzpatrick). He was interesting and played the moments very believably. I rate this movie a ten.

The Computer age has arrived. There are complex discoveries unveiled daily. Hence this recent film supporting theories of all sides. "The Code Conspiracy" is the hardest kind of movie to review-but it's also the most enjoyable kind of movie to watch...due to the depth of it's conclusions. It's been months since I've viewed this film, yet it stays with me. Before writing my slant, I wanted to let its theories, content, and characters sink into my head. The film was based on an idea of ultimate knowledge. I could spend pages discussing the techniques of Whetston's intentions and decisions, but I will not. Jim Fitzpatrick and Maria Conchita Alonso are two of the greatest actors American cinema has to offer; it's pure pleasure watching their characters clash, meld and roll. The sexual tension was more than sufficient for the story to play out.

Anybody with a half of a brain can see what the writer/director Whetstone was creating when he made this movie. It is testament to his beliefs in GOD, and in the human spirit and it's ability to find it's way home (Heaven). When all is said and done, when our time here on earth comes to an end, where will you go? I BELIEVE, without hesitation, that I will enter the kingdom of heaven, and be with my Lord and Saviour for ALL eternity. For the life of me, I don't understand why so people want to have a movie do more than it sets out to do. I loved the basic style of film-making here. The actors were fantastic, I love Maria Conchita, and the scenery was breathtaking. I pulled-up the location on the internet and wow, Hopetown, is a beautiful place. I want to go to the lighthouse someday where Maria and the male lead (James Fitzpatrick) went to send their message, to the rest of the world. GOD bless you for continuing to support the rest of us Christians, with good, wholesome films.

After reading several reviews on this film I thought I would add my twenty cents. The fact that I saw it several times, and there's still some mystery in it, still some ambiguity as to the possible meanings to all of the things that go on with John Davis, is what I find most compelling.

It's not a film like 'Pi' where all of the pieces fall into place at just the right time and you know exactly where you stand. It's something rather that is left to the intelligence and imagination of the viewer. Was he really married...did he have kids? Did his partner really commit suicide? Did God, or an Angel...kill the FBI Agent? The ambiance is perfect. The acting is great, the dialogue is outstanding. The Bahamian 'Big Smile,' talking to John about his rebirth still moves me to this date and the two simple words suddenly spoken to a disbelieving John from some unseen source while in the Beach scene still mesmerizes me like no other movie can.

Also there is a perplexing and scary scene in the middle where John witnesses his family's death (a missile shoots down the family Jet), then suddenly evil, ghostly demons express their joy over the catastrophe. There is a lot of haunting blue hues in most of the shots. I would like to see a better quality DVD put out for this one, but I'll take what I can get with this theory.

See this movie then see it again and then see it after you change your thinking about life and religion. Don't over-analyze it and don't worry if some of it doesn't make sense, after all it's not all supposed to change your thinking...but instead, challenge your beliefs.

You have to at first understand and contemplate all various positions on our existence as we know it. Henry Whetstone, undoubtedly has his own theories, which I could embrace, if the storyline was just a little bit more clear. The acting was unusually good, the lead actor (James Fitzpatrick) has a very charismatic appeal. And the supporting cast was equally good.

The philosophy of the piece, is deep, mesmerizing, thought-provoking. Philosophically engaging, I loved it. Only those with deep insight and intellect will truly be able to appreciate the magnitude of this work. Those film goers interested in magnanimous action and gratuitous sex need not bother. The Code Conspiracy is a revelation of a sort.
