I read the book and saw the movie (the movie is much tamer than the book btw)
The possibility of Jesus being married doesn't bother me at all, I mean at the time you had to be married to be a Rabi, so that actually kind of makes sense to me.

What doesn't make sense to me is this huge jump in Logic that Mr. Brown present that Jesus being married somehow makes Him not the Son of God. How does that work? Just because I got married, does that not make me my fathers daughter? That's too far out there as far as logic goes for me.

The book is an horrendously written but nevertheless fun page turner filled with recycled ideas from "Holy Blood Holy Grail." It works better as a film because you still get the ideas without constantly cringing about how bad writing is.
Much of the really poor research in the book is not aluded to in the film so that helps, too.
I'm not going to go into the validity of the films theories, but I will point out it's huge logical flaw.
Even if the body of Mary Magdeline would yeild DNA after 2000 years and it could be matched to Amalie, it would not prove Jesus was her dad. Furthur, supposeing that Mary's child had 2 childeren who lived to have childeren of their own, and that each generation thereafter had at least two childeren that did the same. In 500 years ( assuming 3 generations a century ( also conservative)) there would be more than 32,000 decendants. By now, the number of direct decendants would be higher than the number of people who has every lived ( of course after a few generations the inbreeding starts so this impossibility does not happen.)

The movie is very good. The book however, is excellent! There is a lot of truth in the story. Whether or not the basic premise is correct, there is a lot of evidence to support the theory.

Personally for me though, having Tom Hanks on the big screen in a MAJOR motion picture tell millions of people that the Pentacle has nothing to do with Satanism or the devil was a very moving moment.

I like the DaVinci Code. Hell, anything that will irritates Catholics can't be all that bad.

"The Passion of the Christ" and "The davinci code" both movies are the same thing anyway, "Unbiblical".

Passion of Christ and Davinci Code, "some" truth in this movie but there is at least as much deception.

What's up with the ugly baby? The passion scene where Satan is carrying a hideous infant. Please explain the symbolism in the scene showing Satan holding a bald baby.

Do Divince Code's are making merchandise out of our Lord & Savior? They sold 4 million books. The Passion nail is available in two lengths and attached to a leather cord and the merchandisers call the pendant the new symbol of a Christian.

theories? its a hollywood movie, its entirely fiction with the exception of the non-fictional world scenery.
It is in a word entertainment. The problem is people in time could confuse this work of fiction as reality. In this vein the movie is slanderous and should not be protected by any act of government called freedom of speech simply because it uses real organizations and persons in what is known as historical fiction to create a drama that is less than historical. By using one law for protection the creators and author approach the breaking of many others. The author has to walk a very fine line when marketting and pluggin this movie and books for fear of law suits simply because they producers know all the claims of it are false.

I've not seen the movie and don't plan to. I read the book back when it first came out and there wasn't so much hoopla about it. I found it fascinating. It is fiction, but I like it because it seems so logical. It really gave me something to think about. I'm working on Demons and Angels right now. That's how much I liked the book.

The book is a pageturner but the movie is a joke. If I hadnt read the book Im not sure if I could have made sense of that turgid excuse for a movie. A turkey !! Oh Happy Christmas

Dan Brown wrote "fiction" he has no "theory". there are however theories that Jesus and Mary were a couple and Mary left for France after the Crucifixion an might had been with child. In a logical sense this fits. Women in those days did NOT travel with any man other than her husband or family. Why did Mary travel with Jesus? Mary could be person sitting next to Jesus in Last Supper but that's unknown. However who does Jesus appear to when he rises? Its Mary and if you were coming back from dead who would you appear to? Simple your spouse or children! Jesus appeared before Mary according Bible! So logic suggest that Jesus and Mary were indeed a couple. In a man dominated world this may have been left out of bible or even covered up but who knows. So that's my theory on the Mary theory. However as I stated Dan Brown's book is fiction he says so himself he has no theory!

I was appalled and very educated when I learned about how much the christians cover up. I'll bet there are millions of other things that the christians hide besides the late J.C.'s love life.
