DaVinci Code, Fact or Fiction?

Question

DaVinci Code, Fact or Fiction?

Answer 1

This is my opinion I sent to some TV channels and News Papers:

The world is seriously concerned and the Christian World (especially the Roman Catholic Church) is hurt through a book of an individual that contains his own manipulations. That too on a subject of more than two thousand years old with no adequate evidence for the views he has.

Dan Brown is nothing but a cunning writer where he found a safe base to start his game. The base from where he started his book is already well known to the whole world and so he had no doubt that his book would a best seller. His mind is nothing better than that of a crazy street boy who tries to spoil or tarnish a sculpture or a statue or a painting that was admired by rest of the world. He succeeded in doing it. The act can be compared with that of the Talibans who destroyed the Budha’s statue. Here, I am not comparing their aims.

Now to the Christian world and the Roman Catholic Church I have a question. If your God is powerful, why don’t you leave the matter to Him to handle? Is not your almighty God powerful enough to handle a Dan Brown, if his views are against Him?

Dan Brown, Salman Rushdie, Kazantzakkis etc.are all such writers who had another indirect aim in their minds that fame is easy when they try to tarnish a famous matter. Keeping aside their literary talents there is nothing worth admiring. But they succeeded and the media and whole world are being fooled. Moreover, when one religion is insulted the rest rejoice. This is another key point of their success.

Answer 2

Some of it is fact and some is fiction and some you have to decide for yourself, there is a good program on the history channel called, "The Real DaVinci Code" which digs into the story and give historical basis as to what may be and what is just plain ridiculous about the book's claims.

Answer 3

Fiction. Some of the statements especially about the languages certain books were written in, is false. The author was writing a story, not trying to expose a centuries old controversy. The author says that it is purely fiction and by checking up on a few of those facts one can find out that he is right.

Answer 4

Fiction.

Answer 5

Like most entertaining works of fiction it has elements of fact and fiction mixed in. The main premise that Jesus and Mary Magdalin were married and had children? An interesting idea, plausible, possible, but no hard evidence to support it. Makes for good reading though.

Answer 6

This has been answered by the director of DaVinci code.

It is a MOVIE. Entertainment purposes to make money.
Research was a storyline created to make a theory based on something he may have read or not.
If it created a sensation, then it gets free publicity, and more money.
A movie cannot describe or begin to answer any theory in only 90 minutes.
All of the storyline is slight of hand a a magician does.
They want you to see and hear ONLY what they want you to see and hear.
They ask a lot of questions in the movie and answer none.


That's all it is.

Answer 7

It's a fact; the movie was made from a book that is pure fiction.

Conspiracy theorist just love diddle-squat like this.

It's just more b.s. Google Trilateral Commission and Illuminati. They're both just as much cow-flop as the DaVinci Code.

Answer 8

The actual story as a whole is fiction but a lot of the content is based on truth or at least stories believed to be true. I think it actually mentions that in the preface or something.

Answer 9

It is a fictional novel based in part or in its entirity on fact. Some of the facts may be altered but it is a fictional novel.

It is controvertial because it portais the christofacists' deity in a light that is contrary to what they believe or want.

Answer 10

Pure fiction,
a good story with a clever plot that is believeable
but just a figure of dan browns imagination
