An honest review

Rating: 3/10 (3 June 2006)

Dear readers,
I wanted to read this book on it's release date, but as most people expected it got sold out very quickly and I missed my chance. I waited about a week for my book store to get it back in, but sadly no! So I just forgot about it, and I continued to read the bible (my faith) and love the world for what it really is, A Holy Place!
I eventually stumbled across The Da Vinci Code book again, it was really cheap, I thought 'why not?' So I went over to the cash register and bought the book for £2. I read it and put it down all most instantly, I was appalled at what it was suggesting! I made myself think for a long while. I read more extracts from the bible, bits that said 'people may have different thoughts, but you choose what to believe' (words not officially accurate, but gets the point.)
So when I read more of the bible and understood that there are people that do try and unfaith religion, I read it. I in honesty found the book really boring, it was an upset in books, I am a fond reader of books and this was truly an insult to books! I said to myself 'a small work of fictional writing!' Of course I didn't believe what the book tried to put across, it's because your not meant to! It's just an interesting book to read, just read it, so be it really.
Then I heard of a film, and i thought 'great, now all the people who can't be bothered to get of there fat arse and read a book, can see it in screen format!' I was appalled. RON HOWARD! I was shocked that he of all people would make a movie like this! Then he put in a fantastic cast, Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou, Ian Mckellon etc. It was a surprise, did they believe what the book tried to tell us, I don't know. But what I do know is the Catholic church didn't believe it, and neither did I!
Now onto the movie itself. Not bad, not great either, to be honest it's pretty average, it's like one of those book adaptations that are not great, but have something good about them. I am a catholic, so as soon as the film came out, I expected to hate it! But not really hating it, liking some of it. It was an interesting tale.
Jesus getting married to Mary Magdalane, her being in the last supper picture.....That is really a man, look how many men there are now, that resemble women, it was the same then, most men grew long hair. Here are some things raised in the film,

Not Holy Grail in the picture of The Last Supper - Mary and Jesus fell in love - Phillip, who was he? An ignored book!Mary's Gospel! - Holy Grail = Woman's womb - Sang real in translation from French to English means Royal Blood - Mary pregnant at the time of Jesus's Crucifixion - The baby was born, it was a girl called Sarah - Greatest cover up in human history - Sophie (Audrey Tautou) Grandfather, is the Grandmaster - Secret to be trusted - The Key Stone - Small facts about the Key Stone Legend hides beneath the Rose Inside a map, leads to Holy Grail Trained by Grandmaster, sang riddle songs No something and never say again

Only worthy can unlock the Grail - 2000 years, the church has done loads things in the name of God - Jesus was a normal man - The dark can be exposed - The Prioer was meant to expose the holy grail for the new millennium - Explode the truth - A.P.P.L.E

See these things bring interesting points across, but it's all up to you what you believe really, I don't believe much of this, but it certainly does raise a good few points! Here's a little more:
The holy grail has gone home The holy grail in Ancient Roslin The blade and challis as the Pagins wanted She rests beneath the starry sky's Mary Magdalane is the Holy Grail
This is the final outcome of the film, The film explains history doesn't always explain itself. You believe what you want to believe. But also it raises the point, why cant Jesus have been married and had a child, and be the son of God at the same time.
I honestly cant answer that, but I believe if Jesus really did have a child, it's not a cover up, it's just something that hasn't been explained to its best ability, Jesus was always the son of God.
Amen. P.S: If anyone wants to tell me what they feel about this, please email me, shuichi_shindosan@yahoo.co.uk
