The Da Vinci Code is a great movie that was released in 2006 that was based off of a book of the same name. It tells the story of a man who has to unravel the truth that a woman he has come in contact with may be the direct descendant of Christ. In doing this he would prove that Christ had a wife or mistress, and disprove much of what the Christian faith believes in.
Though we did not talk about this movie in class, I felt this movie was worth writing about. Could you imagine if this movie depicted what really happened in history and was proven to be true? It would cause mass chaos. Many people would leave their religion because they would feel lied to by their church.
It would be so astounding because it would show that Christ was susceptible to human desires, which would perceivably take away from his omnipotence. It would do this by making people think that he could not control himself if he wanted to. I think this is the very reason the priests at my church advised everyone to not see the film. I think that it is good to see though, as long as it is viewed for entertainment and not taken as truth.
I know that this is based on fiction, but it does give you something to think about.
