Passion Of Christ

[Kayleigh]

Okay, enough with the caps guys. O_o It makes it look like you're virtually yelling at someone, and.. that didn't make sense.

Anyways, I'm going sometime with my mom to see it. I've heard the same things that blue explained, about it showing a lot of blood and being very brutal. It looks like a very deep movie, and I've heard that it's saved a lot of people. I'm already a Christian, but I've heard a lot of other ones talking about how good of a movie this is.

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

I heard the movie's rated R only for graphic scenes O_o;;

I heard that Mel Gibson was trying to depict that the Romans actually killed Jesus, not the Jews. Well, at least that's what my Dad gathered from the news...O_o;

Its really only like that if the Jews make it that way ^^; They take the movie too seriously =P They (the sarcastic ones) should get a life..

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.

I heard about it just like you said it on the radio. I really wanna see it, and a lot of people in my family want to too ^_^ I really hope its like they say. I heard Mel Gibson put all of his money on the film, but he says he didn't do it for fame, but to make people realize Christ's sacrifice ;-;

Heres more stuff I found out from Yahoo!

Audience: 17 and up
MPAA Rating: R for sequences of graphic violence.
Profanity: None
Nudity/Sex None
Alcohol/Drugs: None
Violence/Scariness: Extremely graphic and intense violence, including whipping and crucifixion
Diversity Issues: A theme of the movie; some may be sensitive about the portrayal of Jewish elders


See? No sex or nudity. I'm glad ^_^

u knwo, i heard(from my social science teacher) that some of the ones(churches) that pushed so hard to get the rating systems(G,PG,PG13,R...) are actually taking the entire church on a "field trip" to see that movie
anyway...his friend is a movie geek and says that it was the bloodiest movie in his life.

Hmmm, 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.

._. 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.

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...

I think this movie is gonna be huge even if it isn't the greatest movie ever...every one will see it out of concious...yep

BOO durr!

IT HAS EXTREME VIOLENCE dont you listen... sorry but it was that 'harsh'
i have seen it id know

 

[Greed]

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 ^-^

By the way, regarding my previous post, Michael the ArcAngel beat the evil angel whose name I'm not going to post.

 

[Cherrim]

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.)

 

[Arcanine]

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.

 

[Shining Arcanine]

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.

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?

Agreed too. What stinks is that so many people are so ungrateful.. =/

 

[jirachi_pt]

I need ta go c it. I think it's about time something like this has come out in the middle of some of the worst times. So much bad stuff in the news (war, gay marriges, ect.).

 

[Imakuni?]

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.

 

[Greed]

*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. ^-^

 

[Teara]

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.

 

[Greed]

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

 

[Kenny_C.002]

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.*

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 well@,@
