This movie supposedly got bad reviews. Today I went and saw it and I would have to disagree with the critics. The movie was all and all very good. It had a few twists in there that I didn't see coming, which I found made the movie even better. I have not yet read the book so I can't tell you if the movie was flattering to the book or not, that's for you to decide.
In short, I recommend seeing it; even if you haven't read the book.
I give it 7 out of 10 stars.
-
I didn't find the movie all that great. After getting into the first 30 minutes, I became bored and my mind began to wander around. It's probably because I've watched a few documentaries on it already, and all the information spewed seemed repetitive.
Anyway, if you haven't seen many of the documentaries on this stuff, then you'll probably enjoy it.
-
eh, I read the book a couple times, its up there as one of my favorites, I'm not sure whether I'll see the movie yet or not, probably spoil my apetite.
-
I liked it.

But your church forbade you to see it! You're going to hell.

Don't you read the forums? :P
There was a ~4 page discussion involving this subject. The vatican has put a "boycott" on this movie. I'm not sure about the books, though.
-
I don't like bashing other branches of Christianity, nor do I want anyone to take this personal, but The Catholic Church is really stupid sometimes. They call seeing Harry Potter a sin because it deals with magic? The call the DaVinci Code a sin because it said Jesus could have been married? Come on, we all know he wasn't - the bible records practically his every move from the age of 12 on up.
-
It's not just Catholicism, my church(Fundamentalist) detests 'arry Po'ha and The Da Vinci Code.

Except that 18 year period between ages 15 and 33.
-
I actually think it's extremely possible he was married. I mean, he was Jesus. I'm sure the ladies were all over the son of God.
Seriously though, I don't see the big deal or why it's so far fetched.
-
It was an interesting movie. However, it started to keep going and going towards the end.

Haha; GameSnake started that topic.

It was a 3 page subject.

What? Did you want it to stop before the end?

It just drug out. I never said the movie was bad. I just feel that the conclusion took way too long. The conclusion moved at a slower pace than most of the movie, and whenever movies slow down that much, I get bored.
Add some shooting, explosions, and car chases and it would be better. :P
-
Jesus getting chased by mounties on his really fast donkey. Woo!
I tell you the truth, the son of man was never married. If that were not true, I would have told you so.
-
Who's going to believe, of all people you, when talking about a 2,000 year old man nobody alive has ever met?
-
Believe what you want to, I really don't care rabbit. We're discussing this movie, and if you don't want to discuss this movie, then why don't you post in a thread that's not about this movie instead of trolling after me just to piss me off? Thanks.
Back on topic, if I understand correctly, the DaVinci Code states that Jesus was married to Mary, his mother, which would make him a sinner for breaking the laws of Deuteronomy 22, reguarding sexual purity.

You don't. . He was supposedly married to Mary Magdolin (probably spelled wrong).
From what I understand, there is a lot in the bible as her following them around, but it didn't mention anything about the relationship between her and Jesus. A few hundred years later, the Church went back and said that she was a prostitute who had redeemed herself. There was nothing in the bible about that, as far as anybody can tell the Church basically invented that.
-
iago's correct. The Da Vinci code (and similar theories) say he's married to Mary Magdalen--that's not his mother.
-
Jesus being married would violate a great deal of sacrements; would his offspring be divine? demi-gods?

If I'm not mistaken, the movie said that Jesus was just a mere mortal. He didn't rise from the grave and whatnot; the church apparently added that in to make Jesus seem to be much, much more.

Shut the fuck up. You went off-topic first.

More than one person can be named 'Mary'.

I've always suspected that the story of Jesus rising was true.
Without taking a religious perspective, it seems to me that Jesus was intimately familiar with medicine, and very advanced for his time. He supposedly "resurrected" people, and cured people, and all that.
I suspect that Jesus didn't actually die, but slipped into a coma. Perhaps he even brought it on himself, somehow, who knows? And a couple days later, he came out of the coma in the so-called resurrection. I'm perfectly willing to believe that he could have appeared dead, and modern medicine sees that type of thing all the time.
-
There's a problem with that theory, though. Jesus was cruicified. I'm not saying that makes faking death impossible, but it would certainly make it much more difficult.
-
That much strain/stress could easily land somebody in a catatonic by still alive state. If Jesus was the medical person that we think he is, then he might have known that too, and he might have known how to condition his body to survive the assault. Maybe.
-
He was stabbed in the side, garunteeing that he was dead.

I don't think so. As Joe already said, he was stabbed in the side. Romans did that too all of the people they cruicified. Being on a cross for nine hours and then being stabbed in the side is a pretty sure cause of death.
-

If Jesus was the Messiah, and he knew it, I highly doubt he would waste his time getting married instead of preaching. There's many musicians out there that have dedicated themselves to a life of only music, and do not get married because of this. I'm almost 100% sure Jesus would not get married because he would get distracted. Don't you also think there would be something about it in the Bible if it were true?
-
Everyone wants sex. If he didn't get married then he masturbated..a lot..
-
Christianity says Jesus was without sin. Lust is a sin.
But if you don't believe that, then yeah. :\
-
We were talking about this in the car yesterday. Eventually it came down to "Well, if Jesus wasn't married, then he must have died a virgin. Hah."
No offense to Jesus, of course..
-
Joe is going to follow in the footsteps of jesus

Hahahahaha. I love you.
You forgot to mention, "minus the immense influence."
(Maybe because I said that he'll become something great and it'll all be because of me, meaning I'm a huge influence in someone who became a huge influence?)
-
Joe has sloth, pride, and greed. He will die and go to hell. OWNED.

-.-;; Don't answer that Joe.. I don't want to know.
And why does everyone make fun of Joe? Are you really that immature to go around and make fun of someone for having faith in something they believe in? Please, grow up.
-
Personally, I'm giving him a hard time. I think he knows that. :P

I make fun of him the same way I make fun of orphens; "Haha, your parents died!" While, in this case it's "Haha, your savior died!"

Trust me. If the religion base posting wasent there, Iam sure Warrior and Rabbit would still find ways to own Joe.
-
WOW, another discussion about Joe, how awesome!

Yes, I am. But it's still sort of funny. <3 ;)

And by "sort of funny", you mean not at all, right?
I am almost amazed (notice how I say almost) that you guys can't grow up and stop making fun of Joe. It's very pathetic.

Masturbation is a tool given to us to prevent premarital sex, if anything.
-
[uselessfact]
Back in the olden days they said that the sperm was the life force, and that when you masturbate you kill yourself.
Haha!! That stopped a lot of premaritals and masturbating. It also stopped a lot of martials I'm sure.
[/uselessfact]
-
Every sperm is sacred!
Every sperm is great!
If a single sperm is lost
the Lord thy God becomes irate!
-
Then he's even mad when a baby is concieved? Of the millions of sperm that rush to the egg, obviously only one can be made useful. :P
-
Exactly. I need every single one of those millions of sperms, as I plan on having millions of children.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, that would be one wild goal. Maybe one day...
