i honestly wanna watch it cause its with tom hanks.
I didn't really care for the book.
The film is really good! I saw it on Sunday with my lovely bride to be and we both enjoyed it so much. I always watch films with her. I have yet to go to a film with her and not make out. Cinemas are such passionate places to kiss.
Boooooooooooring
The reviews are not great.
Possible spoiler? not sure.
the reviews aren't great.. apparently one reviewer said how it's amazing that it's even possible to make such a bad movie from a reasonable book.
But it's a massive success boxoffice wise-- at this point I don't really care if it's bad I just want to be able to join the debate. plus i'm told it's about something I believe in; that jesus was just a regular guy. In the movie the church is in some kind of conspiracy to cover it up and such, i'm not sure, only my bf has seen it. Sounds spiffy and i'm glad that it's a topic that's being brought up for discussion, even if it is in a bad movie.
I just want to watch to be controversial. On the day it came out, there were a group of nuns across the street holding up signs. There was a man with maracas praying on a microphone.
its cpntriversial for a stupid reason in my eyes ( catholic here) jesus gets laid ,my thougts : way to go jesus!
Not even interested. I finally read the book (under duress), and it didn't live up to all the hype. It wasn't bad, but I would be embarassed to recommend it to anyone.
Not a bad book. Read like a movie. The author passed it off as fiction. I don't understand the strong reactions.
Almost like the reaction to the Harry Potter books.
Arty!! It's been a long time, girl!! How are things?
The reason this book is so controversial is that it questions the foundationof the Catholic faith by questioning Jesus' divinity and making Jesus human rather than God. Also, it charges the Catholic church with corruption and suppression of truths about Jesus and his early followers.
But, yeah, the author acknowledges that it isn't factual. Still, I guess the concern is that people will begin to question...
Hey Vash! Good, good, busy, busy.
And people haven't questioned it before? This isn't the only book out there that presents this theory. The other books passed this theory as facts.
Of course, hundreds of years ago, people like me would probably be burned at the stake or something.
I know *I* have, and of course, there is quite a lot of literature about this in academic circles, but I think this is the first time this line of thinking has had such a wide audience, and what with the recent scandals of the Catholic church, I doubt they are pleased about having even more to defend.Quote:

(I wish there were more unknown actors in movies though-- the power of celebrity overwhelms the character portrayed.. which is partly why I liked FireFly/Serenity so much- not knowing the actors makes believing in the characters so much easier)
yeah, as far as I know it's the first time this subject has been brought up so strongly in a block-buster movie of this scale. Certainly it's notable alone for the fact that the main characters did not kiss. Wow, huh? The forehead kiss doesn't count.
[spoiler!] I found it strange that they decided to keep the secret hidden.. I mean.. maybe I missed something, but essentially, the church was in a conspiracy to keep this revelation ultra secret, and our hero's have this big adventure to discover it.. and then they decide to keep it secret?.. wha?..
It's fiction, made up, not real. Sorry :(Quote:

kidding.. sorry, I couldn't help be sarcastic :) I was talking about the plot of the film, and how I didn't quite understand the ending of the story.
the funny bit is that if it had been real, then me and everybody who's read/seen the book/movie knowing about it would show that they DIDN'T keep the secret, so then why would I say i'm confused about them deciding to keep the secret? :lol:
edit: though to me, the part that Jesus was just a regular guy was always true (that is, before I saw the movie too), but let's not get into that debate ^.^
being a film maker, i thought the movie was absolute trash. I expected better from Ron Howard, and ALOT better from Tom Hanks. The acting in it was substandard and to be honest, the script was too mainstream for a subject like that. That code has so much backbone and controversy...why bugger up the script with a love stroy that didn't even work within the boundaries of the cinematography? Tom Hanks needs to pull his finger out. I honestly thought John Travolta would have been better in it, he's more convincing in challenging roles like that.
The basis of the story was great...the movie was trash
i didnt like it
really boring movie:(
