Passion of the Christ...

I wonder when this movie is coming out on DVD. I completely loved this film. It moved me as a christian, as a teenager, and as an aspiring director. Has anyone else seen it? Do you think that they'll have an English-dubbed version, because that would just ruin it. You see, subtitles never ruined it for me. Take this for an example, a lot of people didn't like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon . You know why, because they had to read it. Oh boy, anyone else have comments on the films release on DVD?

I loved the movie myself. I heard the movie is being released Aug. 31. I don't think they will dub it in English, because Mel Gibson wanted to keep it as real as possible. But you never know.

I have heard numerous replies about how people would enjoy The Passion more if they were more religious, first I'd like to say Christianity is not about religion its about relationship, its about how God had to send his Son so he could relate to what we as humans have to go through in our day to day lives. Religion is a set rulebook that must be followed to please one's Deity, examples of a religion would be Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Shintoism, Hinduism, etc. The Passion depicts what His Passion was, to save His people despite how much they hated and despised Him. My second point, if you were in a better relationship with God, The Passion would only serve as a conduit in which to convict you, because it reminds us all of our shortcomings, I cried during the Passion, not because the images were so gruesome but because My Savior had to endure all of that, HAD TO, for me. I appreciate The Passion, however there comes a point in a believer's life where they need to remind themselves everyday of His Passion, of which I fall short of.

Stick to the DVD please.

I'm not too sure about getting this DVD. The movie was okay, but I don't know whether to get it or not. I might reconsider later on. Right now I ain't too sure about buying it.

I don't understand why anyone would buy this movie on DVD. I mean, even if you like it it isn't a movie you would want to watch over and over again.

I have to agree with BF, but i think its a more of a ''having it because its ''The Passion of The Christ'' type thing

I certanly couldnt watch it again and again.

That movie was SOO messed up... It had more gore that like EVERY SINGLE FRIDAY THE 13TH MOVIE COMBINED!!!!!!!!!....Anyway... I liked the directing... although for some reason Mel Gibson has gone INSANE! I myself am far from a religious person, so im not gonna say "It has changed my views on life and god," Because when I left that movie I felt the same way about Christianity as I did when I left... A BIG OVER THE TOP LONG RUNNING FAIRY TALE GONE OUT OF CONTROL!!!

I going to buy it Backfire. Of course i wont watch it over and over again but is a good interesting film to watch. Besides Mel Gibson fans will get it anyways. Regardless of the religious message.

I don't see why anyone would get a movie that they won't watch numerous times. It's illogical.

😄

Not numerous times. I'm planing to watch it occasionaly. but Im still going to buy it!

the movie is very watchable for almost every occasion. I don't see how it cannot be subject to multiple viewings.

Because it isn't entertaining in the least. Even the people who love this movie don't watch it for entertainment purposes. Why would anyone watch it numerous times after they get it?

"well, there's nothing to do this saturday night, I guess I'll watch our lord and savior get beaten and killed again....Honey!! Get the popcorn and soda!"

If it has lots of extras and plenty of easter eggs I might consider buying it. If it doesn't I won't even bother.

I don't think this DVD needs anything but the movie, but, I would enjoy a making-of documentary, because I'd like to see how they made every frame look like a Carrivagio painting.

Also, I'd like to see the arduous task of the crucifixion scene, they said it took five weeks to finish it...

welll obviously god had sumthing to do with this movie..bcuz the poor guy got stuck buy lightning while he was making it, plus several ppl had heart attacks even sum of which died from it...im going to buy it..not neccesarely over n over..but atleast every once ina while juss to give me a glmpse of wat jesus did 4 us..n how much we all take things 4 granted...

Simple. I can justify if I can find a DVD for $15 or less, because....

I would spend $3.95 to rent it. And because I'm so lazy....
Late Fee #1 = $2.95
Late Fee #2 = $2.95
Gas Cost to take it back to the store = $0.75
Wasting my Time = $1.00

Total comes to $11.60 so I might as well buy it.

This movie wasn't easy to watch...and it isn't the type of movies that you can really say you "enjoyed"...cuz personally, i sat there bawling most of the time. But it was still an amazing movie, it spoke to so many ppl, including myself. But on the same token its not something i wanna watch very often. I think lots of churchs and youth groups might buy it. And use it as a ministry tool. I doubt i'll buy it...even tho i am a christian, and believe that this was a great movie, it took so much out of me to watch it...it was very emotional, and if i do buy it, it would only be for the sake of owning it.

it's the style in which the movie is presented, which lends itself to multiple viewings...for me anyway. The whole dramatic element of it makes it very entertaining. The same goes for movies such as Salo, Henry and probably even a movie such as Fight Club, etc, {and pretty much every war and holocaust movie ever made}

"well, there's nothing to do this saturday night, I guess I'll watch our lord and savior get beaten and killed again....Honey!! Get the popcorn and soda!"

I have never partook in a conversation such as this before. Nor, have I ever seen something like this ever happen.
...what an odd regurgitation of life's dialogue.

Well most people won't have that many late fees. It's not particularly difficult to avoid them.
