Just saw The Passion...
Meh. I think it was waaaaayyyy over hyped. The movie was average and not too interesting. I think it would of played out better if it included what preluded to the crucifixion, like all of the miracles Jesus made and all the support he gained leading up to the crucifixion. *spoilers i guess, even though pretty much everyone knows the story* I dunno, it just seemed that 15 min. of showing him being whipped and then another 40 min of him carrying the cross took up wayyy to much screen time. They did occasionally show flashbacks of Jesus at home and Jesus talking to the apostles at the last supper, but nothing realing showing his power as the messiah i.e. healing, curing the blind, walking on water, etc.

Well, the movie was only recapping the last few hours of his life leading up to the crucifixion, not his entire life. I'm gonna see it this weekend.

What he said. This isn't "The Life and Times of Jesus Christ--And A&E Biography" or something.

It's also looked like it's basically an arthaus flick with a big budget and popular producer.

I don't really know a whole lot about the movie, I've been kinda purposely ignoring it. Anyway, I'm a very opinionated atheist, is there any chance I could still enjoy the movie or is it too preachy? A few of my friends invited me to go this weekend because they're smartasses and thought they were funny. I can't decide if I should go or not.

I know that, but I think they should of added more flashbacks of him performing miracles incorporated into the movie and cut down on the whole carrying of the cross by at least 15 min, and the whipping scence should of only been 5 min instead of like 20 min. They did show some flashbacks of him building a table, and talking w/ his disciples and whatnot, but more would have been better

It's only focus is to show the suffering He endered for all of humanity to make people understand what the level of torture. Not to re-tell the stories of miracles and such. That makes having all the violence instead of the holy stuff vital.\

I'm not religious, but my boyfriend is. He asked me to see it with him, so I will.

I saw it last night. Yes, it's completely subtitled. I wasn't impressed at all. I agree with both CV and Smitty. There was the emotional impact side of it, but the overall/overdone butality took away from it. The part that was most disturbing was when they were nailing him to the cross imo. The ending was also disappointing. Not a movie I'd pay to see again.

Overall, it could've been much better done. Wait for it to come out on TV, don't waste your money to see it (I can say that because I didn't pay to see it ).

Well it was never ment to be a box office smash. It's only become so well known to the over hype it's recieved from groups that bashed it. For people to critisize it, is to miss the message IMO.

I've decided against going to see it this weekend because I'd be going with a bunch of church go-ers, and many church go-ers I have attened movies with talk a lot.

Also, I hate going to movies with a bunch of people in the theater, so I'll wait a good week or so.

Actually that reminded me...When we arrived at the theater there were 3 squad cars roaming the parking lot. Not really a big deal around here so we didn't pay much attention to them. On our way inside we were stopped by some Baptists passing out books and other literature, we just took what they passed out and kept walking. Once inside we found out that one of them ended up in a fight with a couple coming into the theater who wouldn't accept their stuff.

Go figure.

God was pissed, yeah I think so, seeing Jim Caveizel (sp?) was struck by lightning when he was on the cross during the shooting of the film, I don't think he took it straight on thought, so he wasn't injured. still freaky though.

By the way, the "anti-semitism" shit is bullshit. I saw absolutely none. The Jewish priests wanted him dead, but that was basically because that was part of their characters. There were tons of Jews who cried out against it too. The Romans were the ones who were made out to be the most evil and barbaric anyway.

Also, the guy who helps Jesus carry the cross was a huge "good guy" character, and he was Jewish, as was the lady who gave Jesus the towel.

Anyone who says it's anti-semetic is a fucking moron.

Who would have thought?

Anyway, apparently Mel Gibson makes a small cameo in the movie:


Quote:
It's Mel Gibson's hands that nail Christ to the cross during the Crucifixion scene. The decision for his small cameo in the film was explained by a quote from Gibson who said "It was me that put him on the cross. It was my sins [who put him there]."

One of the more funnier facts is this:


Quote:
When meeting with the producer, James Caviezel was originally told the film in question was a surfing movie. It wasn't until Mel Gibson walked in that Caviezel was told it was a film about Jesus
LOL

And yes, a women did die from a heart attack while watching the movie.

Woman Dies of Heart Attack During 'The Passion'

Mel Gibson's new film The Passion Of The Christ caused more controversy on Wednesday when a woman suffered a fatal heart- attack during the graphic crucifixion scene. The story of the last twelve hours of Jesus Christ's life has been criticized for alleged Anti-Semitism in the months leading up to its release in America yesterday - but the film's gory conclusion has become the focus following the tragic incident in Wichita, Kansas. Peggy Scott, a 56-year-old advertising sales manager, suffered the seizure during the 25-minute scene in which Jesus, played by James Caviezel, gets nailed to the cross. She died before reaching hospital. Ashleigh Murray, a local TV reporter, described the incident, "She had a seizure during the crucifixion scene, which is very graphic. She was taken to hospital but later pronounced dead. I do not know if she had deep religious convictions, but she must have felt something to have been at the theatre at 9:30am to watch this movie."

It was good. Nothing life affirming.
I just really was attracted to the idea that they wanted you to not focus on the words but on the images.
