He does have a very comforting voice. He is a simply outstanding actor.

Just hearing him made me consider the possibility that Jesus had a bloodline since he came from David anyway

I mean...everyone. That's one of the reasons he's a famous actor.

He could read the yellow pages and I would enjoy it

When I read the book I read this in his voice.

Read the secret doctrine of Jesus Christ. This was taken exactly from that book.

Secret doctrine of Christ?

@@wolfofhell7548 Secret doctrine of Jesus by H. Spencer Lewis.

@@wolfofhell7548 If you haven't read it I would recommend it. Certainly an interesting read.

You can understand it though given how high his character clearly holds Mary Magdalene up as the very ideal of his belief in the sacred feminine. It doesn't set well at all with him given his ideology that the church unfairly and falsely blackened her name and part in Jesus ministry by lowing a high status woman who he believes was Jesus's wife to being a mere prostitute. Saying Mary was a prostitute to him was basically like someone saying to a Christian that Jesus was a false messiah.

Slander someone by calling them a prostitute? That is very offensive to actual prostitues, sir.

Look up Helena of Adiabene. She wasn’t in the brothel by choice. When you know that Judas Iscariot is Judas of Galilee head of the Sicarii you recognize the name games played by Saul of Tarsus. He gives characters the most common names in Judea at the time; Miriam, Yeshua and Judah. Simon is really popular in that time period as well. James is Jacob and also a very common name. Look up when Parables were thought to first appear in literature. And then look up how prominently they feature in the Dead Sea Scrolls, then come back and tell me how the dates of the Dead Sea scrolls commonly agreed upon make sense with the dating of parables.

I’m with him. I remember someone explaining the book to me before I read it,wanted to know what all the fuss was about. Raised Catholic & attended catholic HS & college. Of course we took Theology classes. The church was known for its role of keeping women down. No surprise there.

@@samanthab1923 kept everyone dumb, down and economically depressed. It was an extension of the Roman system of controls, that’s why they opposed translating the Bible for over 1500 years. Five hundred years ago 99% of people were totally illiterate, within 500 years of the King James translation, illiteracy in the English speaking world is virtually nonexistent. Which brings me to the Arian Christians and the Goths. Gothic was a language made into a written form by the Arian Bishop Wulfila who did so to translate the Bible into the native language of the goths. Arianism was exterminated by the Roman Catholics for this, even though the gothic translation predates the vulgate, meaning that the Arians were putting the Bible into their people’s native languages before the official Roman Latin version was even commissioned in the first place. So the Romans, as seems to be the only way they ever knew, would slaughter anyone who disobeyed what they wanted done, using their power and influence to gather armies of the same people they largely oppressed to kill those who were seeking to liberate them.

@@samanthab1923 I left the church after I read this book.

Apparently so, then the Gnostic published her book in the 400AD.

Completely agree. But if Jesus wasn't divine as they seem to be saying, then Mary, the disciples and the Grail aren't important in the grand scheme of things at all.

there is an Arte tv doc about her. She is really the mother of the Christian faith.

@@spex76 Not true, if we managed to get actual proof Jesus was a living man then it absolutely destroys the church, the illusion of Christs divinity would be shattered.

@@appocalypsechild Then why would Mary of Magdala be so revered? It would destroy the Church If Christ wasn't divine. But if Christ isn't God, then Mary is not important, just like the other followers of Jesus aren't important. They are all raised up simply because of who Jesus is

It’s not true though. Most of what he said is complete bullshit made up for the movie

i think Lawrence Gardner makes a good case. He believes the only way to prove whats true or false would be to travel back in time and record the actual words spoken and events. if it wasn't for the bloody, money and power hungry history of a "lets pretend were catholic" church, some people would not be so curious. Was a " self serving, ,female surpressing desease invented in order to offer a cure" ?

@@chrisastin184 You might want to read the Bible: Matthew 12:46-50 46 While Jesus was still talking to the crowd, his mother and brothers stood outside, wanting to speak to him. 47 Someone told him, “Your mother and brothers are standing outside, wanting to speak to you.” 48 He replied to him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” 49 Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. 50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

@@yew2oob954 ok your point? The Bible has been translated so many times you don't know what it originally said. That doesn't change the fact that they get simple history wrong in the movie to fit their narrative.

@@chrisastin184 My point...you claim they get something wrong historically...so clearly YOU are claiming that YOU know what the Bible originally said. My point is that your entire belief system is false so this movie may get some things wrong about something that is COMPLETELY wrong.

It NEVER gave you chills. You people really need to stop bullsh###ing

This one and the end where Langdon goes down The Rose Line! Also, in Angels & Demons when the explosion occurs.

You mean the cup. A priest in our church told about that and told a story about it. The tale goes that when Da Vinci finished the fresco, all of his students admired how the cup/holy grail was well painted. Da Vinci upon hearing this decided to remove it for the reason that the painting should focus on Jesus's glory at the time of the last supper. Whether this is true or not I cannot tell but still fascinating.

One problem, the Holly Grail isn't a cup it's actually a metal plate or dish that the cup sat on. It's a well accepted editorial error.

It's because the event Leonardo Da Vinci is chronicling in his Last Supper takes place after the meal has concluded. In the painting, Jesus has just announced to the Twelve Apostles that one of them will betray Him.

Not really brilliant. There is no chalice because it is the end of the meal. The disciples in the painting are reacting to what Jesus has just said, that one of them would betray him. There is no Mary Magdalene in the painting -- the one who he says is Mary Magdalene is John the Evangelist.

This is not history. It's fiction.

It was good but I prefer the scene where Tom Hank's character tells her she is the end of the bloodline.

as is christianity too

@@psychospoiler Would you say the same of other religions too? Or are you singling us out because you fear us, and our message of peace and hope and light.

Same I do too 😂, I also love the Lucifer series of DC which portrayed Lucifer and Lilith as good people and God and Angels as douche.

nah Ezio and Davinci were chill like that (historically accurate)

@@willct8026 "Books are written by people, Mr. Miles. People used to write books about the world being flat."

DaVinci is known for Hiding msgs in his paintings. Like the image of Brain around God in 'The creation of Adam'. And DaVinci was part of Illuminati. So, its very probably he was hiding the Truth about Mary magdalene and Christ in this painting, irrespective of whether posed by a patron or not.

In the movie, the reason that they used "The Last Supper" as a "proof" or a puzzle is that it was hinted that Leonardo was a member of the Priory of Sion, not solely on the contents of the painting. Leonardo, proven time and time again to be a man of passion, probably used his dearest art to scatter proof of Jesus's humanity, which I think makes absolute sense. That being in the movies/books universe, of course. In one way or another, I find the idea of Jesus Christ having a child to be plausible. Even if there isn't any proof (at least verified), he was, quite simply, a man. He had desires like any other person, so finding a partner (in this particular case, a wife) and having children is not a far stretched idea. But that is another topic, of course.

Well... the fact that people still think that magic is real, amazes me. 100+ old religions are "mythos", but this one is the real deal. People should not be this stupid. But here we are. That some people then take this scene as real, is not really that farfetched.

Yeah yeah…it’s not the painting it’s DA VINCI…the whole point of it is that Leo was part of the whole secret society to keep the descendants of Jesus a secret. It’s what’s supposed to explain all his art work and inventions….

This movie is the prequel to LOTR part 1 or had you not realised?

Um, reading it or being Gandalf

if you're talking about The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail, it presents ideas taken from a previous book from 1972, so it's plagiarism too, and has nothing historical in it. Your mind wants to read what you want to believe, to paraphrase McKellen.

@@thegp2008 You're absolutely right. A magical reincarnating superhuman doing magic, the global ecosystem confined to a wooden boat and the entire human race propagating form a single mated pair with only sons makes far more sense

Uh, this entire historical premise of the Da Vinci Code is utter hogwash. It takes precisely two seconds of actual historical research to debunk massive chunks of Dan Browns ridiculous claims. It’s conspiracy theory nonsense.

@@kriddius To be fair, that's a fairly narrow view of the concept of Christianity. To the point of being disingenuous. Pull it back a bit.

@@ch3nz3n I will not. When a faith claims their ancient fairytales are the one and only truth you must accept all of it or none at all. It only seems disingenuous because of how stupid it is to anyone but an indoctrinated child

Actually we have to be even more careful than that. Historical 'facts' aren't necessarily 'provable' in the sense we have writings of them and sometimes writings from two or more sources. None of that makes it a 'fact' simply because it was written down. The further back you go the less clarity we have on what actually transpired.

I know Mary Magdalene was not a prostitute

Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Charles Dance....they could read menus and we're still going to stop and listen.

What's the name of it

@@FaithWhite-xz2fm The movie is called The DaVinci Code.

The whole sequence does not make sense. Leonardo lived in the 15. century, why would he know the secrets 1500 years after? And the witchhunts took place at the same time and not during the middle ages, also 1500 years after. What happened during that long time? For clarification: Thats 3 times longer then the timespan between Leonardo and us.

You are absolutely right. If someone painted homie the clown on it a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago or even today, that doesn't mean that's what really happened. On the show mythbusters, the art museum host pointed out that if you look hard enough you can find the alphabet soup in the whole painting. Furthermore, the painter Leonardo DaVinci was a known homosexual and many of his paintings were of androgynous men. Look up his painting of 'john John the disciple or it may be John the baptizer but he also looks like a lady.

So not a travesty, but a healing moment. Also - the majority of religions wouldn't be affected one way or the other.

foundations of religion? the foundation of religion has nothing to do with jesus' marital life. it has to do with him dying on the cross. married unmarried makes no difference.

​@@AsifKhan-hf9zy Oh it does to Roman Catholic Church and the power, legitimacy, authority of Pope.

The bible has historical ties and the Catholic churchhas been a running institution and patron of science for over a thousand years. The Old testament is reference but not the core of Christianity that would be the new testament, The Old testament has more importance in the Jewish tradition than Christianity

@@lettuceman9439 Umm... bit of a stretch there to say the Catholic Church has been a 'running institution and patron of science for over a thousand years'... in the 11th century the Catholic church was anything but that. Recall that the Catholic Church in the 1630s accused Galileo of heresy for disagreeing with the idea of the Sun and all the other planets revolving around the Earth and had him before the Inquisition forcing him to recant and live under house arrest for the remainder of his life. Not exactly a 'patronage', yes?

I'd love to come over for afternoon tea, if I was ever invited 🎉

I have a feeling it's a Hollywood special effect thing and may not exist. I could be wrong. But if it does exist, I'd love to know too!

You do know that this is fiction correct? That isn't Mary Magdalene, its St. John. He's portrayed as a youth by ancient greek standards, which is what Da Vinci was portraying. Interesting movie, bad history.

Don't take the movie seriously. It is fiction -- it is all made up. No serious scholar of art would accept the silliness that is proposed here.

@@ratatoskr9366 What source are you referencing when you say the character sitting in the place of honor to Jesus' right hand is John?

@@guiwhiz The painter, Leonardo Da Vinici. That's my source. Plus because I know scripture and history, John is always portrayed as young looking as he is the youngest apostle. And seeing as Renaissance painters took much from the greeks, youth was always portrayed with femininity. A simple web search wouldve told you all of this.

@@ratatoskr9366 Wow you spoke to Leonardo Da Vinci?! Or.. perhaps.. you read a hearsay account of somebody who SAID they spoke to Da Vinci and SAID that he SAID it was John?

while the book and story are fiction the underlying elements of it are very 'true' at least in the sense that all of what the character Sir Teabing brings up is accurate.

because the catholic church didn't approve this, it's the same with a lot off highly religious catholics or christians

Everytime I watch it I think it is too pushy in its portrayal as an intelligent movie. It’s a scavenger hunt that chose to include Biblical characters and events.

most of the people who voted for trump are clearly descendants of jesus........

I find it more hilarious that we came from Adam & Eve and we fucked all our family from generations & generations and now we are all retarded.

But God has to drown all those retarded people and save Noah's family to do it all over again. And we are now double retarded. He doesn't make mistakes.. Oh but wait until Jesus.. lol

Jesus Christ Superstar has her in it.

Certainly the book is fiction and all the primary characters fiction. The underlying facts as laid out by the character Sir Leigh? Those are absolutely real.

People taking this movie seriously is hilarious.

I believe truth and fact matter, regardless of what our beliefs are. To be clear, all the so-called 'lost gospels' he read from were rejected by the Council of Nicea for good reason, for one, they are all dated much later than the canonical gospels we have today of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Nearly every scholar, conservative and liberal agree the vast majority of the New Testament we have today was written well within the 1st C AD. The Gospel of Phillip he reads from was written in the 3rd C AD. All the Council of Nicea did was once and for all establish what the church had known for years, officially formulating which books were original gospels and authentic writings of the Apostles and which ones were later forgeries or pseudo-gospels. The Lost Gospels do contain some rather peculiar pictures of Jesus Christ, In the Gospel of Thomas, Jesus tells Mary she must have a sex-change to enter in the Kingdom and become a male, and in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, Jesus uses his divine powers to kill a boy he gets in a fight with. All this is to say, the Church Fathers as early as the 2nd C AD knew and quoted from the New Testament Canon we have today and we are able to reconstruct majority of the NT from their quotations alone, not to mention we have a plethora of Greek NT Manuscripts (over 5,000) and a complete Bible dating from 306AD the Codex Vaticanus which predates the Council of Nicea in 325AD by 19 years.

@@Drooblemeister "To be clear, all the so-called 'lost gospels' he read from were rejected by the Council of Nicea for good reason" ... the Council of Nicaea didn't discuss or decide upon the books of the bible. The claim that they did is one of the falsehoods included in the "Da Vinci Code." @ReaverLordTonus btw. His name was Leonardo, "da Vinci" was not his surname, simply the town he was from. ie "of Vinci."

They can't pay off everyone's right

The gospels selected for the Bible we know were written long after the events they describe. They're essentially hearsay.

@@Drooblemeister "All the Council of Nicea did was once and for all establish what the church had known for years, officially formulating which books were original gospels and authentic writings of the Apostles" except none of the gospels were written by apostles. We have no signed copies. They are all anonymous. They are not first hand accounts.
