The Passion

Sacrifice...I think I agree with you. I would like to see it without being distracted by trying to read as well, especially not the first time viewing it. I would like to know at some point what they were saying exactly, but only after I had taken in the movie as a whole first. I wouldn't mind if they had subtitles as an option for DVD, where you could turn them on or off as you wish, but I think I'd like it without in the theater. I think the images will speak for themselves.

Distracted by subtitles? Ah americans! lol jk
I want subtitles I won't see a movie I don't know what they're saying.

There are no long discussions or sermons 12 hours before the crucifixion of Christ. I would think most things would be easily understood by visuals alone.

Well yeh but...kinda boring. Just watching and hearing something I don't understand 😖
But lets not go into that.

There's been several more related articles out, but here is one of the latest...

Also, James Horner *is* doing the score... It should be great!

I can see I am clearly in the minority here, but I would love to see the film without subtitles. As a Christian I know the story of Jesus (as I'm betting most people do). Seeing it without subtitles would give the feeling that I was actually there, witnessing the event in person.

Just my opinion.

I can't wait to see the movie though, subtitles or not. I haven't cried at a movie since I was very young. This may change that.

There are tons of movies I know the storie but that doesn't stop me from wating to know what they are saying. It could be just a cover up for bad writing 🙄
I don't see how a movie with subtitles would take the feeling of realism. But then again I'm used to them 😛

Here's some new articles from today (not a lot of new information, but interesting nonetheless):

Ok, just found out that my previous post was not put on the board.

The link I gave is to a preview for The Passion.....ENJOY!!!!!!!!

Here's some new articles as of July 23, 2003.

Mr. Gibson goes to Washington...

He was in my neck of the woods yesterday, and I didn't even know until today. Nuts. I wish I could have seen it with them, too (not that I would rank). 🙂 More good reports!

You still cant post links ?

You would be surprised who would rank with Mel Gibson. He is more down-to-earth than most people think.

Thanks for the links....there is also an article on Spiritdaily(dot)com, where he just showed up.

By the way, can you tell me how to pick a character with my name?

Thanks! 😎

Nope. Still can't post links. How many do I have to post to not be considered a "new user?" It's annoying...

St. Michael...thanks...I'm sure Mel's a nice guy, but he doesn't know me from Adam...hence, I wasn't invited. 😉 It would be nice to run into him, though.

As for the pictures, go under your "Profile."
Then click "Edit Options."
At the bottom, under "Other Options," click "More Info" on the "Avatar" option, and select one of the preposted pictures, or include a custom one.

Hope that works.

Thanks for the additional article info. 🙂

Take care all... 'til later---
