It is not so much the movie (obvious fiction) as it is the new low that our society is reaching. Does anyone think that this movie would have been accepted in 1956 instead of 2006 ?
Does anyone care?

I was going to argue but I can't think of anything similar that would have been made in the 50s or 60s.
However I like a good flick and may see it when it comes out on DVD.

We assume that all of these people are smart enough to know that it is just fiction. There are people on this forum who seem to buy into the fiction, and defend the whacky conspiracies as the gospel truth.

Just a suggestion...

I call it something other than blasphemy. I call it a religious smear.
"Blasphemy" is someone being profane towards my faith and trashing my beliefs.
This smear is designed to attack the Church as "evil" and Christians as gullible dupes.
If someone made a movie about the global Jewish conspiracy (as outlined in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion*) and played both sides of the coin claiming it is fictional (as in a fictionalized account, as ALL films are) as well as that it weaves in "real" history, we would not remain silent. I say we as Americans (I am Christian) and we have seen and CONTINUE to see this crap dredged up as justification for war (prominently now by the Islamonazis, but previously by the Aryan Nazis).
* This text is a fabrication designed as a religious smear.

I understand what you're saying/feeling....and agree.
I guess it should come as no surprise...however.
Our nation is struggling against itself.....we are divided.
One wonders how a Bill Clinton could be elected....twice....or a Gore, almost.
Millions went to see/supported The Passion of Christ.
Not as many, but millions still, will see this movie, and in my opinion, I don't think the folks who supported that movie are the ones going to see this one!
The DaVinci goers are clearly supporting a movie that blasphemes Christ and His Word.....
...but they might not see or understand this .....
We will all be held accountable whe we meet our Maker.....we will all give account.
Why would folks go see this.....after hearing good argument from respected leadership in the church....both Catholic and Protestant?....
..and why are they using the same talking points of the liberal pundits ....'it's only fiction?'
....I hope you also realize not everyone, even on this good forum, is a God fearing conservative.

Well, it wouldn't have had a $224 million worldwide opening weekend, the second-highest in history. When did 1956 become the gold standard for Goodness in the World? :)

The story has been around for hundreds or thousands of years. Is our culture so decrepit that it cannot stand discussion of ideas that have failed to make the cut historically?

Went to see it.
Kept thinking I had seen something similar.
AHA!

The Passover Plot
came out in '65 and
was a film, too.
No big effing deal.
There's no "new low." These dumb things
are old as the hills.

Personally,
I like the DVC,
Not all of it, but dang,
when I read that MM might be in the picture of the Last Supper,
I got tears in my eyes....
But,
seems something like that is too horrific to contemplate.
Back to hugging trees for me I guess >:> /sarc

What upsets me about the movie is that it wasn't a very well-made movie--I expected better from Ron Howard and Tom Hanks.
