In search of the Truth: " The Da Vinci Code and Roman Catholicism"

Did you enjoy the film?

I have watched the film "The Da Vinci Code" in my religion class, I enjoyed the film because it talks about Jesus and what we Christians say about him, and things that we don't believe about Jesus. The film explained things that we didn't know about Jesus or things that don't even exists about him. Thats why i enjoyed the film because it said true and false facts about Jesus that made the movie more interesting and make me to think more about Jesus.

Give an example of a part in the film that you had a significant reaction to (positive or negative). Describe it and your thoughts about the scene?

In the film "The Da Vinci Code" there were different kinds of significant positive and negative through out the film. The one example in the film that came to me is an positive, to me. The example is when Robert and Soplie went to Leighs home. Leigh tells them about how the picture the last super painted by Da Vinci beside Jesus theirs a women sitting beside him, who which is Mary Magdalene. And that Jesus and Mary Magdalene had a child. When Jesus was crucified Mary Magdalene escaped to France and gave birth to their daughter and, Mary Magdalene and her daughter stayed in France. During that scene, i thought to myself that maybe Jesus did have a child with Mary Magdalene anything could of happen. In the film when they showed the painting of the last super i did say to myself that that person beside Jesus is a women because of the features of that person siting beside him.

After you have watched the film, how do you feel about what you have seen or heard?

After watching the film "The Da Vinci Code" it made me think a bit more about the things that i know/heard about Jesus because know one really knowswhat was happing in Jesus time being on earth. It made me think what if Jesus did have a child with Mary Magdalene and was he truly in love with her to give up everything to get crucified for everyone to see that he is the son of God. Another thing that made me to think that is when in the film, when Mary Magdalene ran away from everyone to go to France. Was she ashamed that she was pregnant with Jesus daughter or would everyone wonder and talk about her behind her back saying she's a slut for being pregnant with Jesus "the son of God" when they weren't married. After i watched the film "The Da Vinci Code" i felt a bit different from the things that they talked about and they stuff that i have seen and heard in it. Because i haven't know what to believe in the film or not. But the Catholic facts that i know that i learn at school though my parents and grandparents, are the true facts about Jesus.

Do you think that any valid points have been made?

I think there was valid points that have made in the film "The Da Vinci Code". One valid point that i have took from the film is about the actual bloodline of the 'Holy Grail' because there isn't a cup that Jesus have drank from in the painting on the last supper and know one really knows where the cup really is.

In your opinion, is this a dissuasion worth having?

I believe that a discussion would be worth having about the film "The Da Vinci Code" in the class to see how other people thought about the film and their dislikes and likes about it. To see if anyone had the same options like yourself and its good to listen to other people and hear on what they have to say and it might change your option on things in the film.
