Correct me if the title of the movie is wrong =P

Anyways, there's a movie about Jesus Christ produced by Mel Gibson.

Gibson hopes that this movie will make people see about Jesus's sacrifice to pay for all of our sins. (Which I think is very nice of him to do so, knowing that this darned earth there are so many buttholes roaming around)

But some people think the movie is saying the message that Jews are "Christ-Killers". I think people who think this are taking things TOO darn seriously.

I believe Jesus didn't die because of the Jews. He died because of all of us. He wanted to give us a second chance, and he did. That's my opinion O_o; Yours?

Oh, and I'm gonna see it on Saturday, it comes out at February 25. Can't wait to see it, people say its REALLY good ^_^

*won't die*

My mum's rather interested in seeing it. I just think it's going to be rather controversial... Heh, I overused 'rather.' But I thought the name of the movie was The Passions of the Christ, with an 's' rather than a singular name.

There'll be nudity most likely, sexual insinuations, cursing, and blood... Lots of blood. I don't plan to see it.

hm...i might see it. sound very interesting. but what i dont like, is that mel gibson's father is saying alot of stuff that has nothing to do with Mel and the movie, but people are putting him in this all of a sudden. i heared this stuff on the news.....

anyways, it sound like it's good. especially since it must have lots of blood. :laugh: but, seriousely, it sounds like a deep movie.


BTW, Oro?

I want to see it (theater or DVD). Around here churches is renting out the whole theater so the church members can all go see it. They say the pre-sells to this movie is only second to Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.

CaRtoon, please reduce your signature size, it takes up to much of my screen vertically.

Anyway, it is what happened. If people have a problem with that, then they can blame the snake (one guess who he was... btw, don't answer that) who talked Eve into eating the Apple from the Tree of Knowledge and unite with God against him (do not sin for the rest of your existance, that includes after death).

._. We can sin after death? *shrugs as she didn't understand the above post*

I'll almost indefinitely go see this. o.o; In fact, my school is trying to see if the people who are taking Religion this semester can go see it as an excursion. Sadly, I took Religion last semester, but I'd still like to see it. Even if I don't really believe in it, I think it'll be a good movie to have seen anyway.

@_@ I bet my mom'll be too lazy to take me, though.

I saw The Passion about four hours ago, and it still has quite a hold on me. If you want to get underneath it all, you can judge the filming, the script, the acting, etc. But this is one film I don't think I'll ever do it with. If you're a film major or the like, I could understand taking this film apart and looking at it from different angles. But this movie was produced for an emotional response, not a technical one.
When the movie ended, everyone was quiet, and no one left the theater until the end of the credits. Everyone was quiet as they left the theater too, until they got to the Lobby wherein they begin to discuss it among friends and family.
It is really that sort of movie. You do not clap for this movie, but you may very well pray and/or cry at its end.
This is probably the most emotional, heart-wrenching, and horrifying film I have yet to see. It is quite graphic, very brutal in fact in some areas, from when Jesus is being whipped to when he is being nailed on the cross. I could hear people crying or making sounds of anguish around me. I cried myself and had to close my eyes from time to time when the graphic nature of the film became a bit too hard, a bit too real, to take. It is truly a hard thing to sit through comfortably.
The Passion is the sort of film that may shake your religion foundations roughly, depending on your own personal experiences and relationship with God and Jesus. I know it touched everyone in that theater in a uniquely different way.
For a Rated R movie I, along with those accompanying me, were shocked that some families had brought young children with them. For some people, they feel this is something everyone should experience, no matter the age. But from a general standpoint, most people couldn't believe anyone under 16 saw this film....they just could understand how anyone younger than that could possibly deal with this film's content. Heck, I knew some 23 year olds who had a hard time with the film and they were shocked that someone as young as 9 had seen the same movie.
I was really touched with seeing The Passion, and I can imagine that a lot of people are grateful for Mel Gibson having this put onto the big screen. It's the sort of film that will make money (all the theaters in our area are already sold out to Saturday), but it was definitely not made for that singular purpose - which may make it that more meaningful. It was done for the people, for all believers in Christ, and it was great to see groups of friends and family's going in to see it together.

I'm 16 and i still cant belive i saw it twice.
