Quote:
Tom Hanks Friday dismissed criticism of the film version of Dan Brown's controversial novel The Da Vinci Code, saying it was 'a lot of fun' and should not be taken too seriously.
The actor, who plays a Harvard professor in the film, to be premiered across the world next week, said Ron Howard's film was 'just a good story loaded with hooey and nonsense.'

Ya, it's all make believe. It's kind of cool. Dan Brown took common shapes and symbols and created stories behind each one. But it was all fiction.

Old user oh really, im sorry you think so
To others: you know what great about movies like The Da Vinci code, is that their based on real life mysteries and events. For instance i just saw MI3 and that movie is BS so i will forget it in a sec but with Da Vinci its totally different.

Dan Brown did not come up with the idea that Jesus had a girlfriend. Read more books, there lots more places that make reference that he had a GF.

I do not think so, I know so. A lot of it IS true but historical facts, as of what we know now, shows that to be untrue.
Again, do some research.

It could be true...
the only people that dismiss those theories as BS are catholics and christians 
How the hell could we ever truly know tho? I mean if there are signs pointiong to that stuff, and most religions are based on ridiculously old fairytale books, then whos to say what really happened?
Furthermore - whats more believable? Jesus could cure illness and do crazy magical things and walked around proving it to everybody, yet he was still crucified.
Or, Jesus was the first hippie who loved life to the fullest and all he wanted to do was spread the love, he was not born from a fuckin virgin, and he ended up having a kid, because he had a penis.

well the story on Langdon is clearly fictional, but a lot of the stuff in the book is facts. The knights templar for example did exist and found some documents that made them powerful people in the catholic church, the Priory de Sion also existed, including leaders like Da Vinci, Bottecheli, Victor Hugo, and Newton. It is thought that this society was the protectors of the grail but that is debatable. The Holy Grail itself in question was never revealed to the public, I personally think that it's much more than the cup of christ like said in the book. I think The Holy Grail is Mary Magdalen, and the holy bloodline, because it makes everything about the New Testament make much more sense, that Jesus wasn't the son of God but more of an important historical philosopher. There is no evidence that this is the truth about the Holy Grail but it is a theory that a lot of people share.

It's fiction interwoven with a few historical facts, and several half-truths.

...kinda like the Bible.
OK kids, lookey here. There's no evidence (that I've ever seen anyway) that Jesus was even a real historical person. None. So any story expanding on the Jesus character is merely building fairy tale upon fairy tale. It's just supposed to be fun.
Loosen up, christians.

There is ton of evidence that Jesus existed, what the fuck is wrong with you people?
The book is a novel with some facts as well. Nothing more, nothing less. Don't think too hard folks.

I just don't understand why people believe what's written down in their history books but refuse believe what's written in the bible. It's the same concept. The things you use to disprove the bible's accuracy could also be used against the very history books you use in class.

As an athiest, I believe Jesus existed. And I also believe the Jews killed him because Jesus was walking around saying "hey guy i'm the son of God"
so its hard not to blame them for that.

No intellectually responsible person believes the absolute validity of one history book. A history book will name its sources, which can ultimately be traced back to a set of primary documents. Where these primary documents are consistent with one another is where you can assume something as a fact.
For example, how do we know Caesar existed? -letters Caesar wrote -letters written to him -public records from his lifetime -sculptures of his image from his lifetime
The Bible is a 3,000 year old book full of mysticism, mythology, and the supernatural. A book with talking snakes, talking donkeys, burning bushes, and parting seas cannot be taken seriously as history. Too many things in it are simply impossible.
How do we know Jesus existed? -Gospels, NOT written during his lifetime -Sunday school hmmm...
If you can come up with any primary documents, from Jesus' lifetime, in which he or anything he did is mentioned, I'd love to see it.

The Davinci Code is a front used by the illuminati to make the people believe that the biggest government goverup is the bloodline of Jesus, which is bullshit.
The real secret is that the government is a satanic organization.

There are also documents that refer to someone claiming to be the song of God written to Roman officials from Jewish officials(I dont remember their exact titles). They dont use the name Jesus in them, but it is a reference.
There is another book called Holy Bloodlines, Holy Grail (or something to that extent) that is about the same thing execpt its a documentary type book where the author finds evidence first hand. He was the guy that sued Dan Brown for taking his "theory," which has actually been around for a long time.
As for the novel DaVinci Code being fact, its not. Its a fiction book and Dan Brown has said that on numerous occasions. I heard him give a lecture shortly after the book became widespread where he said to read the book as you would any piece of literature. He also said to enjoy the book, not analyze it.
My personal view is that Jesus was a "real" man with real male tendencies. I dont think its unusual for him to have had a girlfriend/wife or even a kid. I think he would have been discredited by his own followers had he not done the social norm for a man. I think its the fact he was doing socially acceptable things while disagreeing with morally acceptable ideas (at that time). Also, if you read the dead sea scrolls, two books refer to him having a love interest and both refer to Peter or Paul (I cant remember which) being upset because Marry got more attention from Christ than anyone else. There is also a book written by Marry Mag about christ and his teachings which also has accounts of their relationship.
To me, there is plenty of historical evidence to support the idea that he had a gf/wife and enough to assume he may have had a kid. As for the DaVinci Code itself, dont take everything at face value because it is a novel.

If I recall correctly, Pliny the Younger wrote about Jesus as well. Not really sure though.

What does that prove? It says that it is believed that the Priory de Sion was a large hoax, take it up with Dan Brown, he was the one that wrote at the beginning of the Da Vinci code the "fact" about the Priory de Sion.
