Time

Watched Angels and Demons with Vivian.

My wife was understandably excited - she had read the original fiction and is a great fan of mystery stores. I must say I was not too impressed. The movie was an enjoyable two-hour, but, nothing more. The plot was in fact much more simple than the Da Vinci Code, and it didn't take long for me to realize who and what was behind the scene.

One notable phenomenon of the two novels is both took place in a narrow time frame. To make the atmosphere even more pressing, Dan Brown kept reminding his readers the time - to the accuracy of minutes. The Freudian interpretation is an over-stressed and possibly obsessive author.

Or, in the words of Agatha Christie, it indicates an orderly mind but boyish character.

PS. The fifth element, other than earth, air, fire, water, in ancient Greek was aether - the heavenly substance proposed by Aristotole. The same name (and, unfortunately a different concept) was latter applied to the hypothetical substance that filled up all space and was believed to be responsible for the transmission of light.
