Why is Dan Brown's book & movie on Da Vinci Code continuing to sell by the millions?

Question

Now that numerous interviews with the real experts, TV documentaries and articles have shown that Brown's truth claims (he claims his research is accurate at the beginning of his book) is totally and outrageously untrue?

Answer 1

All of those numerous interviews give it publicity. Thats why it continues to make money. If it were ignored then sales wouldn't be where they are.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say outrageously untrue. It is either true or it isn't. But people don't buy based on truth, they buy based on emotion. The real truth is in the books that Dan Brown tried to steal ideas from, such as "The Atlantis Blueprint", "The Hiram Key", and general archeology, where we find gaps in history that have been filled with fictions from whatever religious or government group was in control at the time. We know we don't know everything, we know that people make celebrities out of everyday people, and we know that powerful organizations like to keep their power. Dan Brown's historical fiction may not be accurate, but neither is anything else we have been told to believe. We can't even get the truth out of our own democratic government about UFO's when that information is only 50 years old at the most. How the heck do we expect to have an unbroken chain of truth from dictators, Inquisitors, and swindlers going back two THOUSAND years?

Answer 3

It is a great book. And it isn't 'outrageously untrue,' it is mildly untrue. Not that it matters. The claims in the front of the book are made to set the scene for the book...get real. And would it matter if the book were true???? not to me.

Answer 4

I watched a teach on the history channel that pronounced that no longer something relating to the story, e book or movie, became authentic. there became no longer something that would desire to be traced back to the time that Jesus became around to a queen that became around, her skeleton it particularly is, and that the bones weren't a journey to what the author of the e book wrote approximately. easily, the full situation is purely for exciting, to no longer be taken heavily. yet i think of that it had some thing to do with the court docket trial that occurred with the author and yet another author.

Answer 5

People love a good story, and they'd like to think that something that is truth like Jesus, might have an alternate story, and though it's all fiction, it's also interesting to consider another angle...what if...

Kinda like religious X-Files

Unfortunately, some people do take the story seriously. Now that's a bit scary.

Answer 6

People like anything that possibly tears apart things they've believed for years. They're like sheep; yesterday they believed this group, tomorrow they'll believe Dan Brown. Plus, its a pretty good book.

Answer 7

because people are sheep and will do whatever other people tell them to. Also, it relaxes the Catholic priests because it takes the focus off the fact that they were raping alter boys for centuries...nothing can turn heads faster than a conspiracy theory. They knew that when they said "WE DO NOT CONDONE THIS LITERATURE!" that people would buy it, and the real **** in the Catholic church would be suppressed.

Answer 8

Dumbass is you could read you would know that at the beginning of the book it says "This book is Fiction". The book will be found in the fiction section of any book store or library.

Answer 9

It is very interesting and Americans love movies. Plus many Christians like to confuse themselves about religion.

Answer 10

People continue to support his products becuase it is an interesting and fun work of fiction. I can't understand why people are not able to grasp the understanding of the word FICTION.
