Technically, only a small fraction of those abused by the roman empire were crucified, and at that, this is Jesus we're talking about...believer or non-believer, it's still a disturbing thought to imagine the Son of God being mocked, tortured, and executed by the people who he cared for so incredibly much.

I really, really want to see The Passion of The Christ. It's coming to the local theater soon so I'm excited that I might be able to go. The people who claim that this film is antisemetic are just looking to pick a fight with the faithful. The Jews didn't kill Jesus, the Romans didn't kill Jesus. It was all of mankind who is responsible for his death, not one individual faction. I wish people would just realize that this is a movie that is trying to give a realistic portrayal of the final hours of Christ before the crucifixion...I'm glad that people aren't desensitized to this type of violence...it shows that people still have a heart and the ability to feel Christ's pain and the overwhelming guilt knowing that mankind did this to him. This movie is about his pain, his devotion to mankind, his Passion, as the title of the movie states. I recommend it to everyone although I haven't watched it yet. It's the one film out that can change lives for the better. I can't wait to experience this film...it's going to be awe-inspiring to say the least.

It is a good movie.
Realistic?
not very, they over do the torture, the cgi and devil scenes most defenately not realistic. and the biggest mistake, Jesus is played by a white man.

btw you contradict yourself when you talk about even if you are a non-beleiver you have to realize he died for us?(wtf?) if you are a non-beleiver you don't.

And actually the crucifiction was very popular at that time.

And if you haven't seen the movie, i highly recommend you to not see it unless you have a strong stomach. I know a lot of people that got sick watching it. just a little tip.

My mom's been throught doctor school and she brought her crap home with her, so I have a very strong stomach.

It wasn't the pain that was the burden on jesus, it was more the burden of every sin he had to bear...And none of us really know what jesus looked like SDP. He could have been white or black or tan or bald, it doesn't really matter...

yeah drop the BOO ya!

I'm most certainly not contradicting myself, but then again, all sentences ever written have been open to interpretation...to quote the sentence in question:

"...believer or non-believer, it's still a disturbing thought to imagine the Son of God being mocked, tortured, and executed by the people who he cared for so incredibly much."

I meant to say that it can still be a powerful story to those who don't believe in God. If something had to be true to be a powerful story than no movie out there would ever affect people.

And I must say that I don't think that the violence could be overdone...people just aren't used to seeing such realistic violence. I was horrified when I first saw Gangs of New York because the violence was the most realistic I'd ever seen.

And you're right, Jesus couldn't have been white. He was likely rather dark-skinned like most people in that part of the Roman Empire 2000 years ago.

I still hope to see the movie...I'm not sure when it's coming to the theater. If anything I'll bet it's a cinematic masterpiece. No matter how much I think I'd be prepared for the gore I know I could never be...a lot of the things in that movie are likely too horrifying to watch. It's not gore for the sake of gore, though. I know that at least.

Hm, yeah. I actually felt quite nauseous through certain parts, and normally I can handle nearly everything. It was emotionally draining overall. However, it left quite an impression on me despite the fact that I'm not religious.
I'm not so religious myself, and I got very impressed by it too =D

...And none of us really know what jesus looked like SDP. He could have been white or black or tan or bald, it doesn't really matter...
Hmmm.. You're right, the race doesn't matter.. Besides, it doesn't say on the Bible what his race was. Maybe it was meant to prevent people of certain races to believe they were superior.

"...believer or non-believer, it's still a disturbing thought to imagine the Son of God being mocked, tortured, and executed by the people who he cared for so incredibly much."

True, true. Makes them feel sorry for the sorry things they've done. And maybe even question their own sins.

I just heard on the radio, that Mel Gibson invested 30,000,0000 dollars on the movie. The movie alone got 90,000,000 dollars. Phew! I guess that hard work really paid off O_O;

Yeah. Many people thought there was too much violence in it that even the adults were having trouble with their stomach at times. So it's something to take into consideration.
I never seem to have problems with my stomache at movies, no matter how gory...although I did have to look away when they nailed Jesus to the cross, that wouldn't have made me sick, it just would have scard me for life :cross-eye My mom refuses to go see it untill it comes out on video so she can leave the room if it gets too gory-_- Like I said before, it's not so much the gore, but the thought of his pain;.;

Exactly, heck, I didn't pay attention to the blood. The pain he went through mattered.. What? Did yall think they just whipped him without hurting him so much and he just died? Heck no, they made him go through heck.

And The Enemy was always watcing hoping Jesus would give up, and not complete his porpuse. *by the enemy, I mean satan, I just don't like typing or saying his name..*

If anyone pays attention to the gore, then it'll appear like a movie. If you pay attention to the pain, then it'll be worth it.

Yes, I agree with that. It wasn't the gore that affected me, but the fact that he went through all that pain for what proclaiming himself as the son of god. It was one of those movies that I simply could not stop thinking about afterwards.

Dude, its okay to say you didn't like it.. But please restrain from saying it was DUMB...some of us don't think its a DUMB movie, okay? By saying this, you may be insulting Jesus' sacrifice... If you don't have nothing nice to say, get out of here, got it? It touched a bunch of people, and like Teara said, I cannot believe you said that. *points to door* Out..

Oh yeah, and I was gonna mention.. Yes, we're discussing.. And like I said before.. DO NOT say it was a dumb movie, just say you dislike it. By saying that, you are asking for a fight. And you all PC members know I do not like fights cus I always seem to just fan the flames of war =/ So please, PM2008, do not ask for one. Just leave us alone, and go into your own little world. We don't want this thread closed because of you..

So, please no asking for flame wars. Let's just move on.

Yeah, that's asking for a war. I mean, this offends people who really got touched by the movie. And it really meant something. So, if he comes here, he better be sorry =/

And like I said, I'm a flame war type of person. Whenever people tick me off, I fight, end of story =P

Anyways, I didn't knew the Lucifer thing existed..

You guys that got to see it are lucky I go to a christian school and almost the entire school has seen it and said it was very very good but got pretty nasty at some points I so want to see it. the amazeing thing was about 6 or 7 of our schools biggest tough guys (ya know they never cry or anything)went to see The Passion and they all cried after seeing it. My mum won't let me see it cause it's rated R and it can get gory so I have to wait til her and my dad go see it and I endup getting a relay of the movie from them and hope they remember it all.

Why not tell your parents that the gore is not meant to be payed attention to? Only the pain ^_^; Cus my mum told me "we're gonna go see it, so you can learn about His sacrifice and make you think about all the pain he went through" That's all she said. I went there, and cried so hard. I think I even yelped a little O_o;; Man, so THAT's why people stared at me o_O;

Yep. =/ Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there's no need to be so harsh.
I agree, but there's no need for anyone to insult other opinions. Besides, opinion is not the truth, I don't know why so many people can't understand that =/
