Syl Host Patrick Macnee (who should be knighted by now but that's another forum) provides a clear, concise history of Leonardo Da Vinci, the famous artist created the Last Supper and Mona Lisa. In this documentary which was probably inspired by the craze regarding Dan Brown's book about the Da Vinci Code, the documentary goes into detail about how the ideas formed from the Knights Templars to the Gnostic Gospels which were priceless in itself. For those of us who are interested in biblical scholar, this documentary is quite effective without being so overwrought with details and information. The experts are quite excellent in explaining the information about the theories and the life of the time.

feverish30 I saw this movie the day after we buried the pope. I must admit there was not a lot of information about DaVinci in the movie, but I believe that is because there simply is not a lot of information about the code in DaVinci's paintings.. However, the other information presented in the movie about Jesus resurrecting and moving to France to raise his children is very interesting.All in all I found myself engrossed in every word they were saying for the full 2 hours the movie was and for the 45 minutes of bonus features as well. A lot of interesting material presented here with the historical references and research to back it up.

mrschroeder1982 If you want to see this one, it's for one of three reasons.1. You've just read "The Da Vinci Code" and are interested in finding out more. If this is the case, stay away from this movie, as it will give you information that will leave you scratching your head and thinking, "Where the hell did they come up with that?" If you are interested in finding out more, read the book "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." That book, while not necessarily true, will give you more information in a better manner.2. You've just read "The Da Vinci Code" and "Holy Blood, Holy Grail." If this is the case, stay away from this movie, as you won't hear anything new.3. You haven't read either of the two aforementioned books. If this is the case, stay away from this movie, as it will raise some questions that will seem to be out of left field. If "The Da Vinci Code" and the issues the book raises interests you, read the two books mentioned above.DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE.

mofoinc Don't waste your money or hope that you held on to you receipt cause this is just horrible. For the first 10 minutes Davinci's art is talked about, nothing groundbreaking, no unlocking of any codes, then for the rest of the documantary(40 Min's) they use the last supper and some secret club that Leo was apart of to be the transition about wither or not Jesus had any kids and if there was a holy grail and honest to god Davinci's name isn't mentioned again til the final comments by the host which goes something like this: 'well we've come along way from Leonardo Davinci to the lost scriptures of the holy testament. Did Davinci have secret knowledge about Jesus? We'll probably never know' The End. The END?! this has nothing to do with anything. the re-enactments are soooo dumb at one point there's this thing about a french priest being given money to make over his church back in the 1800's and he's handed American paper money! They show some ancient knights that were suppose to have unearthed the grail and they all had neatly trimmed beards, they showed 'middle eastern' men(one who's name was Mohammad Ali) digging up a vase in the desert but they were all old white dude's speaking English. This movie made me sad cause i spend money to watch it, which, because i bought it at walmart ill be able to get back, the hour of my life i spent watching it, however, is gone for good.
