1)Brown states on his website that his books are not anti-Christian, though he is on a 'constant spiritual journey' himself, and says that his book The Da Vinci Code is simply "an entertaining story that promotes spiritual discussion and debate" and suggests that the book may be used "as a positive catalyst for introspection and exploration of our faith."
--> main median brown was right about his work that it's just work of literature .
Maybe Da Vinci talk about some of the darker side of Christianity but ,if you see novel try to explore the Christianity and related myth, as we all know that mythical story are never true it's just human beings imagination so maybe we can except that this work Da Vinci Code maybe just try to explore the darker side of Christianity and there is nothing wrong just because it's a literature. It's depend upon us that how we see and how we interpreter the work if we find some of the meaning then there is meaning if we think that it's the same work then there is no problem.
2) “Although it is obvious that much of what Brown presented in his novel as absolutely true and accurate is neither of those, some of that material is of course essential to the intrigue, and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman has retained the novel's core, the Grail-related material: the sacred feminine, Mary Magdalene's marriage, the Priory of Sion, certain aspects of Leonardo's art, and so on[1].” How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lacy?
If we see biblical reference then we come to know that 4 out of only one gospel was talking about Meri McDonald's marriage, so that's why we have no historical proof and if there is written that it's in biblical reference but not yet any Emperor proof we find so it is difficult to believe.
The secretary meaning
If we see that sometime separate family and represent to the pagan religion note in Christianity we find it just because as other religion are also believe in patriarchy and Christianity also believe in patriarchy so there is a doubtful on Shepherd feminine just because sometime we believe that purity come with the man but we forget that woman has home that only has power to give a life in this universe that's why the sacred feminine is more powerful than other.
Priory of Sion
Some of the historian and some of the Ancient people tell that Priory of Sion is a secret committee whom save or preserve some of the secret related to Christianity and they are built for preserve Second form related to Jesus Christ after death of Jesus Christ there reserve some of the cigarette which may not remain for the normal human beings.
That secret who was the Holy Grail and the Merry McDonald's dead body these two things they are hiding.
Leonardo da Vinci and his art
Might be possible that leonardo-da-vinci also one of the member of Priory of Sion and he was try to keep some of the secret from other people or they are against to the church and now they are blackmailing to judge just because they know some of the secret which can destroy basic foundation of Christianity is religion and as some of the historian says that Da Vinci was one of the best painter and he tried to secret something from world and in his painting we find some of the secret that is the interpretation which we give on his painting.
Some other people says that may be on some of the conspiracy theory tell that Da Vinci was facing some of the medical illness that's why when he was your life it's become difficult to read that's why if other person have to read Da Vinci's work then that person needs Mirror to read that all things.
3) (If)You have studied ‘Genesis’ (The Bible), ‘The Paradise Lost’ (John Milton) and ‘The Da Vinci Code’ (Dan Brown). Which of the narrative/s seem/s to be truthful? Whose narrative is convincing to the contemporary young mind?
Start with geniuses some of the chapter we have study or read but not perfectly we have study or read geniuses so it is difficult to give comment on that.
Show with paradise lost and we find that when you believe in patriarchy then that work is perfect just because it in the whole lost of the Paradise by a woman so if you believe in patriarchal then Paradise Lost is perfect but it's not convincible too young generation this because nowadays the women and men both become equal then there is nothing differentiate between them so if we do deeply reading of paradise lost then we find that maybe it's a writer personal life be described in his work and also one more thing was that the paradise lost maybe not convince to other people just because paradise lost as reference with biblical that's why it is more difficult to understand.
If we go with Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code then we can find people easily connect with novel and might be accept just because we can find that there are normal human beings they are in problem and they try to come out of this situation and finally they are getting some of the questions answer and which connected with history and some of the meat and it's becoming a reality and also the one more thing which is not found in Genesis and also in paradise lost that was suspense thriller which we not find in other work that's why that normal people can convince by Dan Brown's work The Da Vinci Code if people seeing movie then also they are convince.
4) What harm has been done to humanity by the biblical narration or that of Milton’s in The Paradise Lose? What sort of damage does narrative like ‘The Vinci Code’ do to humanity?
If we go in history then we can find that in Christianity is rise then we find that The Lost of Constantinople then Rome become powerful and after that we see that pop become more powerful than King and suddenly we find that pop become more rigid region and also the church are become more powerful by wealth and other way to become a puppet of pop and one more thing was that pop very great life and they started new way to kill people and that new weapon was religion and rule and regulation by that they have kill lots of poor people and also a woman the call women as a witch and they burn in public place and in the dark ages Christianity has sorrel Crusade will happen that's why they have lost so many people normal people are also kill on the name of religion.
In Brown's novel we find that one of the character who is historian and he spend his whole life to know the secret of holy grill and he want to explore the darker side of Christianity and he want to destroy the power of church and you want to explore that how charge has done bad thing with humanity that's why he want to preserve humanity.
5) What difference do you see in the portrayal of 'Ophelia' (Kate Winslet) in Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet, 'Elizabeth' (Helena Bonham Carter) in Kenneth Branagh's Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or 'Hester Prynne' (Demi Moore) in Roland Joffé's The Scarlet Letter' or David Yates's 'Harmione Granger' (Emma Watson) in last four Harry Potter films - and 'Sophie Neuve' (Audrey Tautau) in Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code? How would justify your answer?
If you see in Hamlet and Frankenstein and Scarlet Letter director has move camera all over the women's body part which is not important but still camera has roll over to the women's body part that is not good sign if we see the original work there is not a single dimensional what we see in the movie that is the differentiate between the original work and which we see in the movie and one more thing was that it's not a camera which moves on the woman's body but it's a representation of Mens eyes which move on the women's body that is the very bad thing which train in movie but if you see Da Vinci Code movie in then you can find that are not a single kissing scene of some of the new DP is not receive present just because in this full movie we can find that how the intellectuality of women is represent not the woman's body is important as we can see it or we can feel it or it's our interpretation , Sophie was very intellectual more than doctor London
So we can say that whole movie based on the intellectual it not based on the woman's figure or woman body so in this whole movie we find that the women represent as a intellectual but not as a thing.
6) Do novel / film lead us into critical (deconstructive) thinking about your religion? Can we think of such conspiracy theory about Hindu religious symbols / myths?
Yes it is by watching movie or reading novel we can come to know that how religion has destroyed so many things lots of poor people and women by religion. Yes we can find it just because of lots of darker side in Hinduism we can find it and which was hidden by our religion gurus or many other people hiding the truth what exactly Godse they make that type of statement that which help them not help to other people if we see in Hindu religion we find that if you belong to the upper status then your life is too good you get a chance everywhere any religious ritual you want to do in your home people are love you it's become a celebration when you doing so in that way we can say that in Hindu religions so many evilness are there which was hidden still not reveal maybe nowadays in modern time it is there but we have changed the design we have modernize religion that's why we cannot identify but still they are there and still they are attacking to to the humanity.
7) Have you come across any similar book/movie, which tries to deconstruct accepted notions about Hindu religion or culture and by dismantling it, attempts to reconstruct another possible interpretation of truth?
1) MOHALLA ASSI
[ NOT :- use headphone if you watching the video ]
8) When we do traditional reading of the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’, Robert Langdon, Professor of Religious Symbology, Harvard University emerges as protagonist and Sir Leigh Teabing, a British Historian as antagonist. Who will claim the position of protagonist if we do atheist reading of the novel?
On my point of view Sir Leigh Teabing, was the protagonist of this movie just because he want to reveal The Secret that's why he was doing for humanity not for on his self just because he want to save humanity and he want to expose the Church has the destroyed humanity and the poor people and woman that's why he was protagonist.
On my point of view Robert Langdon was not protagonist of this movie.
9) Explain Ann Gray’s three propositions on ‘knowability’ with illustrations from the novel ‘The Da Vinci Code’.
a. 1) Identifying what is knowable
b. 2) identifying and acknowledging the relationship of the knower and the known
c. 3) What is the procedure for ‘knowing’?
