This trustworthiness makes him stand out in a narrative in which the author casts doubt on the motivations of every major character except Langdon and Sophie.
Langdon is trustworthy, as is Sophie, his female counterpart and love interest. Langdon, the novel's protagonist, anchors the story. The film, starring Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou as Langdon and Sophie (2006), featured a climactic sequence at the site, and created a touristic audience with interests far removed from the original Catholic function of the Chapel, and from the research of Medieval Studies scholars The publication of Dan Brown’s sensationalist novel about Robert Langdon (a Harvard scholar of religious ‘symbology’) and Sophie Neveu (a French cryptologist) investigating Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s bloodline and the whereabouts of the Holy Grail, The Da Vinci Code (2003), featured Rosslyn prominently. The chapel is owned by a trust administered by the Sinclair (St Clair) family, and in 2000 was in urgent need of repairs. The foundation stone was laid by William Sinclair, Third Earl of Orkney and First Earl of Caithness, in 1446. Rosslyn Chapel is a small, elaborately decorated fifteenth century church in Roslin village, seven miles south of Edinburgh. The Chapel also received a ‘prestigious Sandford Award for its education work’ and was certified Gold by the Green Tourism Business Scheme in 2016. The Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew, better known as Rosslyn Chapel, was named ‘best attraction’ in the 2015-2016 Scottish Thistle Awards, selected ahead of other tourist attractions including the Wallace Monument, Stirling and Born in the Borders, an artisan brewery and visitor centre in Jedburgh. Ultimately both novel and film fail to develop a truly transformative rhetoric but instead reinforce traditional beliefs about gender in the culture It concludes that The Da Vinci Code does not present a feminist mythic narrative, but instead presents another version of the heroic quest myth that functions to reaffirm masculine power, under the guise of a faux feminism. Using insights derived from feminist theology and myth, this study examines this claim through a close analysis of both novel and film, focusing both on the mythic narrative and individual characters. Most criticism focused on the historical and religious problems in both the novel and subsequent film, leading some to claim that the storyline represented a type of radical feminism in its presumed secret marriage between Jesus and Mary Magdalene that led to “the greatest cover-up in history,” and ultimately the suppression of "the divine feminine" in the Catholic Church. One of the more controversial films of 2006 was the highly anticipated The Da Vinci Code, based on Dan Brown’s best-selling novel.
