The Da Vinci Code is a film about individual spirituality. A major theme in the film is the power of knowledge in creating faith. For example‚ while the quest throughout the movie is to find evidence that Jesus was just a man and perhaps not as godly as history would have the world believe‚ the final answer of Magdalene’s existing bloodline does not truly destroy the Catholic Church because it does not exclude the possibility that he was perhaps both.
