  • Professor Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) and Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) visit Robert's old friend Leigh (Ian McKellen) in hopes of obtaining more knowledge about the holy grail.
    Watch The Da Vinci Code Now: AAN.SonyPictures.com/TheDaVinc...
    Dan Brown's international bestseller comes alive in the film The Da Vinci Code, directed by Ron Howard with a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman. Join symbologist Robert Langdon (Academy Award® winner Tom Hanks, 1993 Best Actor, Philadelphia, and 1994 Best Actor, Forrest Gump) and cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou) in their heart-racing quest to solve a bizarre murder mystery that will take them from France to England - and behind the veil of a mysterious ancient society, where they discover a secret protected since the time of Christ. With first-rate performances by Sir Ian McKellen, Alfred Molina and Jean Reno, critics are calling The Da Vinci Code "involving"* and "intriguing,"* "a first rate thriller."**

      You can understand it though given how high his character clearly holds Mary Magdalene up as the very ideal of his belief in the sacred feminine. It doesn't set well at all with him given his ideology that the church unfairly and falsely blackened her name and part in Jesus ministry by lowing a high status woman who he believes was Jesus's wife to being a mere prostitute. Saying Mary was a prostitute to him was basically like someone saying to a Christian that Jesus was a false messiah.

      It was an extension of the Roman system of controls, that’s why they opposed translating the Bible for over 1500 years.
      Five hundred years ago 99% of people were totally illiterate, within 500 years of the King James translation, illiteracy in the English speaking world is virtually nonexistent.
      Which brings me to the Arian Christians and the Goths. Gothic was a language made into a written form by the Arian Bishop Wulfila who did so to translate the Bible into the native language of the goths. Arianism was exterminated by the Roman Catholics for this, even though the gothic translation predates the vulgate, meaning that the Arians were putting the Bible into their people’s native languages before the official Roman Latin version was even commissioned in the first place. So the Romans, as seems to be the only way they ever knew, would slaughter anyone who disobeyed what they wanted done, using their power and influence to gather armies of the same people they largely oppressed to kill those who were seeking to liberate them.

      You mean the cup. A priest in our church told about that and told a story about it.
      The tale goes that when Da Vinci finished the fresco, all of his students admired how the cup/holy grail was well painted. Da Vinci upon hearing this decided to remove it for the reason that the painting should focus on Jesus's glory at the time of the last supper.

      In the movie, the reason that they used "The Last Supper" as a "proof" or a puzzle is that it was hinted that Leonardo was a member of the Priory of Sion, not solely on the contents of the painting.
      Leonardo, proven time and time again to be a man of passion, probably used his dearest art to scatter proof of Jesus's humanity, which I think makes absolute sense. That being in the movies/books universe, of course.
      In one way or another, I find the idea of Jesus Christ having a child to be plausible. Even if there isn't any proof (at least verified), he was, quite simply, a man. He had desires like any other person, so finding a partner (in this particular case, a wife) and having children is not a far stretched idea.
      But that is another topic, of course.

    "Historically inaccurate" absolutely, but close enough to fact that a non fiction document revealing all of this already existed long before The Da Vinci Code was written. The original author tried to sue for plagiarism but was denied because "historical evidence cannot be copyrighted". The Church tried to block this book/movie multiple times but was unsuccessful for fear of the damage it would cause to those whose faith was lacking. The documents mentioned here, the omitted gospels, translations for sangreal, companion and others... every source quoted in this segment exists but cannot be 100% verified as true (just like every part of any religious text) but are real enough to scare the church shitless, for good reason

      I believe truth and fact matter, regardless of what our beliefs are. To be clear, all the so-called 'lost gospels' he read from were rejected by the Council of Nicea for good reason, for one, they are all dated much later than the canonical gospels we have today of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Nearly every scholar, conservative and liberal agree the vast majority of the New Testament we have today was written well within the 1st C AD. The Gospel of Phillip he reads from was written in the 3rd C AD. All the Council of Nicea did was once and for all establish what the church had known for years, officially formulating which books were original gospels and authentic writings of the Apostles and which ones were later forgeries or pseudo-gospels. The Lost Gospels do contain some rather peculiar pictures of Jesus Christ, In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus tells Mary she must have a sex-change to enter in the Kingdom and become a male, and in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, Jesus uses his divine powers to kill a boy he gets in a fight with. All this is to say, the Church Fathers as early as the 2nd C AD knew and quoted from the New Testament Canon we have today and we are able to reconstruct majority of the NT from their quotations alone, not to mention we have a plethora of Greek NT Manuscripts (over 5,000) and a complete Bible dating from 306AD the Codex Vaticanus which predates the Council of Nicea in 325AD by 19 years.

    fun fact about the Malleus Maleficarum: it was written in large part due to the author, Heimrich Kramer's, incident with a woman named Helena Scheuberin. He was an insane priest whose sermons were described as 'heretical' by Helena, and she avoided and spoke out against them, and also allegedly spat at Heimrich and said: "Fie on you, you bad monk, may the falling evil take you".
    Heimrich was so enraged that this woman spoke out against him that he put her and thirteen others on trial. However, the judge released her and the thirteen others with no punishment or light penance. Heimrich went insane over her winning the trial, and stayed in Innsbruck to 'continue the investigation against her' which meant stalking Helena, and the Bishop himself noticed this and banished him for his insane obsession over Helena.
    This prompted Heimrich to write the Malleus Maleficarum. Which really makes you realize how it's essentially his own torture fantasies

    It all made sense--why priests are always men, why there seemed to be so many messed up things the church has done in the past yet every catholic were chill with it (because the church says it's God's will), and the undeniable possibility that Jesus and Magdalene buried the corn cob. I mean they say during His life, Jesus was just like any other--a man, a carpenter, who just so happens to be a really *really* shiny Pokemon. If so, then surely the dude fell in love somehow, and Him having kids is possible.
    I mentioned having seen the film and my classmates were like "that's blasphemy! I'll tell on you!". They called our Christian Living Education teacher and I said "I only saw the trailer". Bunch of snitches lol 😅 but that only made more sense because people are either a) absolute sheeps, b) fear of being wrong the entire time, or c) a bigger conspiracy that everyone involved in spreading Catholicism were in on it, my teacher included 😅, trying to find Mary Magdalene and stop the truth from coming out.

    My thing is France wasn’t France at that time. It was Gaul, I seriously doubt a pregnant woman would journey that far to a unknown land to have a child by foot or even by sea. It wasn’t like Gaul ( now known as France ) was like some wonderful place at that time. Caesar just conquered it like 30-40 years before.
