Why western movie makers make films like Da Vinci Code and blaspheme Jesus?.?

I know I won't get the best answer, but I thought I should answer your question anyway.\n\nFirst thing you have to understand is not everybody believes in Jesus (I do).  Some of those people want to deny him in any way they can. (Since Jesus was proven to have excisted, they now have to do things like the Da Vici Code)\n\nSecond thing you have to understand is that morality and God was thrown out of the movie buissness a long time ago.  It's all about the money.\n\nEven the movies the churches agree with were not made to please anybody.  They were made to make money.  (Example  "10 Commandments" made a lot of money).\n\nI mean look at movies, music, ect. today.  You will see rape, murder, theft, ect.\n\nThe truth is people complain just to complain (sorry if this offends you).  If you don't want to see a movie like the Da Vinci Code then don't; but don't complain because some people do.  To me this is the same as bashing somebody elses religion.  \n\nAs for calling the wrath of God we have already been calling it for a while and believe me it will come soon.  Even though something somebody else does may not seem right to you all you can do is say, hey I don't believe thats ain't right; then leave it alone.  If you continue then you are judging them: Only one person can judge.  The church has used up there complaining of movies rights a long time ago.  Nothing they say or do will change them so let them do what they do; they will suffer for it in the end.\n\nI'm sorry I just get upset when people don't see the whole picture or bash somebody beliefs.  No, to me the movie is not bashing beliefs; it's just a movie.  Example I could tell you my beliefs that would not bash yours, but if I say mine are right and yours are wrong then I would be bashing your beliefs.  Same thing with this movie.  They are stating a belief out there, not saying hey everyone else is wrong; just stating a belief.

I have known this for a long time, before the Da Vinci Code, because I did some research on Christianity a while back. There is whole lot of things that Christians don't know about their religion, like the fact that proven segments of the Bible are locked away in Vatican City, also there are other segments that provide a completely different view of Jesus, and if these views were held today they would put an end to things like, the requirement of church, the requirement of baptism, the acceptance of Jesus as god, and yet they were thought to be part of the Bible. Also you must remember that the Bible has been translated many times and mis translation from ancient languages into old english is very problematic, especially when it's done by scribes in a medival kings court. You must take everything in the Bible with a grain of salt, the stories in it are probably as they were in the original language, but they are not word for word, and also remember that parts of the Bible are missing, do research on it before you decide what is true.

i REALLY don't see the problem. people should not just blindly follow a faith but actively question it, otherwise aren't they just sheep??\nThey should neither encourage nor discourage just let people make up their own minds. if the churchgoers are that commited to their religion they are hardly gonna leave it over a movie are they??!!

All the "critics" against "The Passion of the Christ" NEVER VIEWED THE FILM.  Is not the criticizing of a “something” without thorough exposure and knowledge of its inner workings a complete and total HYPOCRISY?  Absolutely.  These critics possessed a “PRESUPPOSED BIAS”, which became their dishonest strategic primary driving force against the film, having the deviant political agenda to thwart its success, popularity and acceptance on the entirely fabricated claims of anti-Semitism.  Why, you ask?  Because the proponents against “The Passion of the Christ” are, in fact, ANTI-CHRISTIAN.  Yet, no anti-Semitism could even be remotely detected throughout Mel Gibson’s entire film.  In the post-film release, did the horrible anti-Semitic riots by Christians around the planet materialize against the Jews, and their Synagogues were they violently bombed and completely burned down to the ground as all the critics, FANNING THE FLAMES OF FEAR, claimed would happen?  NO!  Not even close.\n\nMuch to the disappointed chagrin of the critics, “The Passion” was a global blockbuster never before seen, and it broke all previous theater film attendance records.  So powerful was this film that theater goers reported actual Supernatural personal healings, miracles and Divine encounters after viewing this Cinematography Masterpiece, literally a three-dimensional Rembrandt.  It clearly revealed a hunger for this genre of film entertainment, but Hollywood, traditionally anti-Christian, would prefer to continue producing directionless film properties of lesser pursuits that are barely able to make the bottom line, if even that, because these films promote their corrupt values that are completely diametric to the principled values of most Americans, those who would prefer to see more films like “The Passion”.

The problem is that too many Christians claim to follow Christ but are scripturally illiterate--they haven't read the Bible they claim to believe. So of course the "Da Vinci Code" would threaten their belief system, because their belief system hasn't been solidified yet. It's kind of like freshly poured cement on a sidewalk--until it's firm, anyone can put any impression into it. Christians need to go back to the source of their belief--the Bible--and then movies like this will be seen for the fiction they really are.

No, don't do that. That was a great movie. Good acting, good directing. You're probably posting this in response to the question, "Should the DaVinci Code be Banned?" I don't like that question either.

Christians are pissed off because although the Da Vinci Code is a complete piece of fiction (and marketed as such), the scenario is real and the things they say make a lot of sense and are very plausable.  They complain about it as though the author is telling a true story when in fact it is not.  \nThat being said, it is a very good read.  I recommend it.

Sure, Jesus was a prophet and we don't know what he looked like but there are lots 'pictures' of him around and people have played Jesus in movies. I don't think God gets upset about that if you have respect in your heart. I wouldn't want to adhere to a religion where you would be punished or executed for drawing a "likeness" of a prophet.

Put it out. Christians already know the truth and know that in the end times, these types of things will be thrown at them. Hollywood tries any way it can to destroy Chrisianity because they are a bunch of Godless idiots. Whomever made the film will have to bow one day and explain their actions.

it's just like king kong...the film makers try soooo hard to get it right that they dont want to distract the viewer or make them so emotional that they dont recognize the work that went into the movie.

I am shocked and amazed.\n\nI truly had no idea that so many Christians do not know God.  To view this piece of fiction as an opportunity to 'save' or 'win' souls is hypocrosy.\n\nTo not understand what is so blasphemous about the movie, regardless if you are a Catholic or not, just shows laziness.  And, that your relationship with Christ needs to grow deeper.\n\nThe book says that Jesus is not God.  That Jesus was a person not the Son of God.  This is blasphemy to ANYONE who believes that Jesus was their Savior. For, a man cannot save us --- only God.  And, if Jesus was a mere man we, as Christians are idolotors.  Now do you understand why the Catholic church condemning it?  All Christians should be saying the same thing.\n\nYes, I think by condemning it the church is just making it more attractive.  But, they are also standing for what they believe in --- regardless of what the media says.  So, I'm glad someone understands why Jesus has to be divine. And, why this is so important to my faith.  And, is standing up for it on an international level.\n\nBTW, HOW on this Earth could anything be more important to you or your church as Christians than saying your Savior, Jesus Christ, was a man.  He was not divine.  He cannot save your sins.  That Christianity is a farse and stamps it down to idolotry...\n\nFind a new pastor!

its a cool story. its been proven that its not true, but its still an interesting take on things. there was a whole thing on it on the Discovery channel. or national geographic, one or the other. \n\nand as long as a religious person isnt afraid to learn other ppl's ideas, they have no reason to be afraid of a movie.

This has already happened.  Before they had the bible, they were all lost sheep, so they created a story that would keep their women faithful, their children in fear and their pockets full.  Take it away now.....and they'll just create another one.  Hopefully the next one has better special effects.

I'm looking forward to the Da Vinci Code even if it's blasphemous crap, its still interesting. Tom Hanks is a great actor as well.

Yes and this seems to slowly be happening in Hollywood, but on our end Christians have to support these movies to let producers know that they are worth making. Passion of the Christ and Narnia were hits but not all of them are. Movie production is more interested in making money than the beliefs put forth and if we as Christians won't spend the money to see quality movies then they will quite making them. Also remember that there are far more unsaved people than Christians so the majority rules and we at best will have only a few options.

Because they are idiots. Christians are people that are so dependant on the perfect image of god to make themselves feel better and give them hope. To them the da vinci code proves certain points of their guide to life are wrong and it is like they can't survive without it. So they choose to turn the other cheek and follow blindly.

the left behind series did not bash religion, y2k was a real problem that was averted with years of hard work.\n\nThe Da Vinci Code takes a lot of shots at christianity, the catholic church in particular.
