The Da Vinci Code...
The Da Vinci Code, based on the best-selling novel by Dan Brown, caused a big stir in the Catholic communities the world over. A clearly fictional story, playing with the history of certain biblical characters, suggesting that Mary Magdalene was in fact Jesus` wife, had the ignorant in an uproar. Religious people rallied to fight the notion that the film portrayed the fictional mysteries therein as fact (which it certainly did not do). Though it must be said for the faithful: there was no full out boycott of the contentious film. Instead, along with the incredible marketing and ridiculous controversy, religious leaders hoped that viewing of the film and its focus on Jesus would spark interest in the bible`s key character.
