Movie: Da Vinci and the code he lived by

I finally got around to watching a movie that I've let sit around for a while, "Da Vinci and the code he lived by." My first thought was that it was going to have something to do with "The Da Vinci Code," but I was pleasantly surprised when it was documentary about the renaissance icon, Leonardo Da Vinci.

The documentary wasn't the typical documentary that showed a lot of facts and artifacts that support. Instead, it was a movie of reenactment that traced the life of Leonardo from his birth as an illegitimate child through his death.

This movie was entertaining and the information was very interesting. Such as:
1. Leonardo always kept a notebook with him and through his life he documented over 15,000 pages of notes. (Not a single page was ever published during his life)
2. He was a painter by trade, but his passion was in creating weapons of war
3. Da Vinci and Michael Angelo hated each other

One of the greatest point made during the movie was that while there wasn't even a method of keeping time, yet; Leonardo was already thinking about how to walk on the bottom of the ocean and fly with the birds.
