mmm, talking about this is going to create some problems. I haven't seen the movie but the violence aint that harsh.
If you've only read a couple of portions in the bible, you'll understand that violence was only half of the struggle for Jesus and his followers.
As 4 the Jewish stuff, I dont think that people would make a movie to offend other religions. I live by Washing D.C. & so far nobody has went crazy.
IT HAS EXTREME VIOLENCE dont you listen... sorry but it was that 'harsh'
i have seen it id know

Children these days see things a heck lot worse than Jesus being killer =/ They watch pornography, violent movies, and sensual movies, I think they should see the movie even tho it may be graphic. Its realistic graphic, not violent graphic.

The radio, TV, and my school keep on talkin about it. I'm eager already to see it ^-^

You didn't hear about the angel that turned against God? Michael the Arcangel fought him (he won). If that doesn't ring a bell, I'll give you another hint, he is the reason heck exists, he also talked Eve into eating the Apple...
By the way, regarding my previous post, Michael the ArcAngel beat the evil angel whose name I'm not going to post.

No, I didn't hear about that, pathetically enough. ._. My religion classes consist mostly of reflections and morals, not specifically on the bible. I only had an interest in reading the bible at the age of 7, so I don't remember any of what I read. *sweatdrop*

I dunno about wanting to see the movie now, though. My english teacher saw it and she said it was really, really gruesome just because it was so realistic and because it's not fiction. People really were crucified back then. ._.; Therefore... I probably wouldn't have the stomach to watch the thing through. I mean, I like gore and stuff in movies, but that's when you know the plot is fictional... not when you've been raised on it. (Even though I don't really believe, it's still... unnerving.)

Every one says this movie was violent. Well what they did to Jesus in the bible was a lot more violent then what they did in the movie.
And there is a lot more movies out there that has a lot more violence in it.

I agree. So why should so many parents be so concerned about their children seeing it? Heck, the movi Titanic had nudity and sex, so what's so wrong about Passion of the Christ?

The truth hurts, doesn't it? When I see the movie in a few days, it will hurt and I know it. Knowing that Jesus suffered and died to save me hurts.
Agreed too. What stinks is that so many people are so ungrateful.. =/

i know it is like a drink of water in the sahara refreshing all who see its belief in god and in jesus and his struggle. i felt refreshed and disturbed after the movie. refreshed at what he did for all of us and disturbed at how some people treated him.

*sighs* I just saw the movie today.. I believe it is one of the most emotional and beautiful movies of all time.. Its so brave of Jesus to have gone through all that suffering just to save us, the animals that treated him so bad. It was graphic, but every time they mistreated him, it made me cry.. ;-;

I cried at the part where Mary has a flashback of little kid Jesus tripping, and she coming to his aid.. It really made me cry a lot, I mean, Mary is such a strong woman to endure that pain of seeing her son suffering. ;-;

Anyways, after it ended, me and my family just sat there for five minutes and left the theater. Me and my mum sobbed like crazy while my lil bro just stayed quiet the whole time. Such a touching movie. I recommend anyone to see it *possibly except small children* Very very very very good movie. ^-^

I just saw the movie this morning with a couple of my friends...It was sooooooo deep. It excellent though! I'm with you Cartoon, everyone but really little kids should see it...and they should see it once their older. The part that really got me was when Mary had to leave while watching Jesus being whiped. I can't begin to imagine what it must have been like to have to watch your son in so much pain, especially someone that wants so badly to help others. The gore wasn't what got to me, rather the thought of the pain he felt made me have to look away. When my parents go to see it I think I'll go again.

Yeah. I've heard it's a very powerful film that has made it into the movies for a very long time. This, IMO, is also the MOST personal film that one could watch (all of the responses to this film are unique). And it is because of this idea, I do not recommend anyone to go see it or not go see it, but rather let the person go see it if they so desire.

As a non-Christian, I see this as more of a historical POV than a religious POV. So my response will not have anything about "him saving us" or anything like that, but more of a historical "how can the Romans/Jewish community in general do such a thing?".

It's also a very good opurtunity to be exposed to the Latin language, so I think I might actually go see it (from a historic POV thank you).

Personal responses:

My Latin teacher: loved it (she's a mother and a very religious person in general)
Her husband: hated it
Another teacher (went with my Latin teacher): loved it
that teacher's date: hated it

*my post does not intend to offend anyone. If I did, sorry. I'm also not planning to change my religion (to those who are offended), so please don't flame me religiously. I've seen that too many times.*

Oh yes, hardly any mother ca resist that, to see their kid beaten.. And yes, the gore didn't got to me either.. Just the pain on Jesus's face.. Poor dude, suffering all that for us.. I feel pretty grateful now ^-^ I agree with you, Teara
eheh, I don't think I've ever heard Jesus called a dude...l83
^_^ But, yeah, I'm defanetaly gratefull now. I think anyone that sees it, even really obnoxious people have to stop and think about what's been sacraficed for em.
BTW Did anyone that saw the movie think they spent a little too much time on the dead donky about half way through the movie? The one shown just before the hanging? I think they worked too hard on it and had the camera on it for about 5 seconds tooooooo long...maggots coming out of eye socets don't blow over me [email protected],@

XD I just call anyone dude. I once saw this Jesus movie, but everyone was hippies O_o;

The donkey scene was meant to tempt Judas to suicide, I believe. Or probably was because Satan was making Judas believe his soul was rotten, just like the donkey's body. Satan wants to make us do bad stuff so he can claim our souls, luckily, Jesus gave us the chance to be forgiven.
I really want to go and see this film when it's out in the UK. My mum won't see it because of the reviews and I don't think any of my mates will except for one because they all think it's just fiction, and to be 100% honest I'm not too sure what I believe at the moment either, because I've been Pagan for the last year and I've recently become very interested in Christianity and started reading the new testament last Wednesday, I also had a very strange dream about speaking in tongues but I didn't know what that was till Friday when I asked my Religious Studies teacher. I think that seeing the film will be a really good experience though.

What I'm about to say doesn't really relate too much to the movie. I always go off topic, lol. There's a statue inside of a Catholic church in Medford, Massachusetts, a town near where I live, of Mary crying. This had never happened before up until maybe close to 3 or 4 days ago...I think when the Christ movie came to theaters. There's been talk on the news and radio about how she's probably crying because the movie The Passion of Christ depicts the true story of how Jesus was killed. The woman that painted the statue of Mary with her daughter went on a local radio station to talk about it and she commented about how the Catholic religion is based on signs. She's right and the statue is going to be investigated further to see if there was any moisture built up inside of it to cause the "tears" trickling down Mary's face. If there's no scientific explanation for it...then it just has to have a religious, spiritual meaning behind it.

I really want to see this movie but my parents won't let me because according to them, the movie is fake and very violent.

i would never see that in my life, not because it is gory but because it makes the jews look like a bunch of wild animals who have no care for anyone. in fact, did you know that jesus was jewish, and ontop of that the jews never killed jesus anyway

To me it seemed as though the movie quite evenly balanced the Romans and the Jews brutality. I'm sure Mel Gibson tried his best not to start a religous war so he made sure not to make either side too careless...or that's how it looked to me at least>,<

Umm, I dun think Gibson did it just for Shock value there buddy...it has a deeper meaning...cause nowadays peopel are like...

"He was beat up, died on the cross blah blah blah..."

And no one takes into account that he actually went through all that and probably worse...I knwo that movie is gonna kill at the oscars..

that's how it's BOO ya!

I don't think Gibson did the movie to get back at Jews. If he did, he'd be offending Jesus too *since he's Jewish*

So many other movies came out for that, and some were a lot worse. One movie was about Jesus being a womanizer >__<;; The other one of him being a homosexual. I have nothing against homosexuality *hey, you all know me* but God made a man and a woman to fit together, I doubt Jesus would disobey his father's rules. ^^;

This movie is nothing but shock value to get people talking about it.
It was ok, too bad they did it all for the shock.
No it wasn't. It was to get people thinking. Especially sinners, to let them know that a brave man suffered so that his father would forgive us. I doubt Mr. Gibson did that, this is his first directed movie, I would say that if his career was going down as a director. Then that'd probably be a reason. But for shock? No. Thinking? Making you feel bad for your sins? Yes.

I find it hard to believe when people say, "its just a movie/shock" I mean, does anyone think its just a movie when a man gets beaten to death for us? I don't think so =/

BTW: Yes, I spelled the title wrong, sorry dudes ^_^;;

I saw this movie on Saturday with Teara and another one of my friends. I cried through so much of it, Of course Teara's eyes waterd and my other friend cried a little but it was very little compared to me. It was so sad, I always knew that happend but I have never actually pictured it. It really puts life into perspective, I think so anyways...I really hope I didn't offend anyone, if I did so please tell me and I'll delete this right away.
