Jesus Christ: One of the most famous personalities in History

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2006)

First of all I must say I didn't read the book (reading is not one of my favourite hobbies), so I wasn't one of those who went see the movie knowing already the entire story. For me it was all new! The movie wasn't really as I expected, because I thought it would be a lot more around a "theological discussion" and not this "religious thriller". Even so, the plot is interesting and has great suspense until the end of the movie, when all "mysteries" are reveled
Now talking a little more about the Dan Brown's masterpiece itself, "The Da Vinci Code", I think what really matters there is that he's trying to change something in history, especially in our Christian societies. We all used to see the Christianity through the point of view of some untouched dogmas. There are some "truths" from we can't even have the littlest doubt, because they are just like that, and they will be this way foreverWe cannot change it, because it's sacred, it would be a Heresy! It's called a Dogma, and the Catholic Church has plenty of them. But the Dan Brown's novel tries to change some of these Dogmas, transforming some details of the life of this myth called Jesus Christ. And if he was a human being, with wife and kids, like all of us? Would it change the faith of people? Would people disbelieve Christ's words just because some Dogmas about his life were changed? I don't think so, but the Vatican doesn't have the same opinion
One thing is for sure, "Son of God" or "just human", Jesus Christ is one of the most important personalities of all Mankind's history. His life changed many things, and it's still being important to many people; so, either we like it or not, Jesus Christ's life will still be discussed, theorized and even "invented" (in some details) for many years, as it has been so far!
