What's this 'scotomisation' in The Da Vinci Code?

Tom Watson

Other movies... Great Dialog.

Flash back to the movie "Catch Me If You Can". Nice dialog point (when discussing 1960's baseball). Dad: "Do you know why the Yankees are so good?" Son: "Because of Mickey Mantle?". Dad: "No, not that, the opposition is blinded by the pinstripes". Fast forward to getaway scene at Miami airport. The son (Frank Abaginail[sp?]) is trying to get away with all the FBI and cops swarming the place. He escapes by having a bunch of nice looking "stewardesses" (that's what they were called then!) all around him. All the cops were looking at the wrong people. Standard magicians trick.

Maybe DaVinci was a magician at heart!
