The Da Vinci Code

The "Da Vinci Code" is the perhaps the most talked about and highly criticized film in the whole world today. It was recently released worldwide amidst several criticisms being thrown into it. This religious novel was written by Dan Brown, the world's highest paid fiction writer today, who amassed huge money because of this controversial masterpiece. Not to be outdone the novel was made into a modern digital video and movie that swept the world by surprise. Catholics and Christians alike have divided views and opinions regarding the novel just as they have different stands on the movie.

I have not personally read this voluminous novel, but I have painstakingly seen the movie with famous actor Tom Hanks on the lead. Being based on the novel itself, the movie depicts Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene as husband and wife that created a line of descendants that still live in clandestine today. This fiction novel sparked controversies and irked many leaders of the powerful Catholic Church and other Christian churches. The novel which was brought to life on the big screen also tells of a certain conspiracy of Christians to keep the secret intact by burying those who know it six feet under the ground. Other predominantly Catholic countries have banned this blockbuster fiction movie from hitting their big screens.
