Q-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.
Ans :- According to Dan Brown this novel "The Da Vinci Code. this novel is not Anti-Christianity. this whole book is based on idea of Christianity and showing some imaginative truths about Christianity. Dan Brown is not saying that this is truth or related with history. this movie is darker side of Christianity. the including historical thing that is battle between opus dai and priory of sion.
Q-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". How far do you agree with this observation of Norris J. Lucy ?
Ans :- Yes, of course the observation of Norris Lacy is true. we can Akiva Goldsman has conserved the story line and it is much like novel. the grail related material, definite aspects of Leonardo's art and may things. the screen writer is successful to keep the core content through the use of all the symbols secrets about the novel. Dan Brown's major materials for the novel is taken from the book 'The holy blood and the holy grail'.
Q-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 ?
Ans :- That narrative structure is more important part of the novel. the narrative of the Da Vinci Code is more convincing for the contemporary young generation. Genesis and Paradise lost tells story of God. the narrative of 'The Paradise lost' is better narrative than "The Da Vinci Code" because Milton gave the voice to minor character like Eve and Satan rather than God and Adam. so, somehow it is convince modern mind because they find the discrimination in the bible. "The Da Vinci Code" narrative look very far away from truth.
Q-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 ?
Ans :- Milton's 'The Paradise lost' clearly presents that if we don't follow the god then it will become harmful for us. the biblical narration churches had all the power. they were controller of the society and people were not free. even artists also had to paint and draw what church want. lots of people have been killing for religion. the Da Vinci code tries to deconstruct Jesus as god with the help of myths. in novel is description of how millions of women were killing of Marie Magdalene. the end it proves that heir of Jesus is living.
Q-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 Joffe'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 Howars's The Da Vinci Code ? How would justify your answer ?
Ans :- There is not much difference all the Female Characters. All the Characters have different role and different context. but we see from the movie perspective then we can realize that director portrayed all the female characters as brain with beauty not active like male characters. in every works female characters as intellectual as male characters they unable to show talent hence directors show just as beautiful actresess who support male protagonist.
