Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Just perfect...
Admirable film.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
There's not much to this movie. The director/narrator/prime interviewer rambles around southwestern France with an Englishman, looking for evidence of the Priory of Sion and the bodies of Jesus, and/or Mary Magdalene, and they do some amateur "archeology" that does nothing but disrupt and disturb the "sites" they find.With interviews featuring such people as a guy who looks like they found him at a bus stop (my hair looks like a bird's nest, your argument is invalid), another who looks like a failed stage magician (complete with bad "dramatic" lighting, barely contained smirking/laughter, and several liar's tells), and locations that look like miniature sets made of clay, Kleenex, and painted styrofoam, its hard to take this film seriously. Its good for a few laughs, but little else. A trip to the film's website for the "latest news" gets you very little but the cast's activities for the last 3 years, and a pitch to spend a couple thousand dollars for a tour of the region.
After watching this movie i had to come on IMDb to say my piece. This movie although, very interesting and an enjoyable watch, is utterly ridiculous. Not the subject matter but the purely amateurish attempt to dupe gullible da vinci code fans into watching it. Its a very cynical attempt at making a quick buck on the back of something that so many people hold serious views on.What makes me angry the most is how stupid do u have to be to think that anything they've found is anything other than pure rubbish. Purely for 1 reason.When you find something important of an archaeological nature there are a number of procedures u follow. Namely only retards who know they are handling fake goods would actually touch them with their hands. The amateurish way they handle and store there 'finds' leads me to believe they are all fake.SPOILER WARNING SPOILER WARNING when the guy starts tearing the cloth off the body things get even more ridiculous. Mainly because you don't just start ripping apart and removing shrouds of embalmed mummies. Mainly because u could damage them or even contaminate them. The fact they didn't use any serious forensic techniques to ensure that they kept the integrity of their finds means they knew what they were handling was fake.think about it, if u really thought u'd just discovered anything of real importance u wouldn't start tearing it apart and touching it with your hands lol. Amateur fakery at its worst.funny to watch how they could make so many silly mistakes in one movie tho
This film extends the investigation over the bloodline between Jesus and Mary, but provides some additional information that is quite profound. I'm not a big fan of documentaries, but since I was raised Catholic, I found this film to be quite fascinating, and full of ramifications, should the investigation prove to be true.I have seen a few of Michael Moore's movies, and this one is similar to his genre of film-making. I found the line of reasoning plausible and quite illuminating. Given all the trouble that the Catholic church has endured in recent years, this is the icing on the cake.I'm familiar with the music of Miriam Cutler, as I knew her through some fellow musicians when I was in college, when she wrote and participated in a very colorful jazz band. I still have one of her early recordings, and it's a real gem. It's great to see her outstanding work applied to such an endeavor.
For me, the most important message of this film is that we are moving forward as a species. We are becoming willing in greater numbers to question what has been fed to us down through the ages. Regardless of whether a "bloodline" really exists -- or if Jesus was, in fact, married -- didn't matter as much to me as the sense of hope I felt. The film left me with a very positive feeling for our collective future because the theater was PACKED with enthusiastic people, and important questions were being asked. The film is really very exciting and moving. Who doesn't LOVE a good treasure hunt? Fascinating and original. I recommend it highly.
