man i ****ing hate religion and i prob only step into a church five times in my life...but im seeing this ****ing movie. mel gibson, i dont care what you think, is a ****ing genius. im jsut really pissed off at all the crap the press is giving him crap about his belief of the holocaust! actaully i jsut picked up the weekly news mag! im def excited
have anyone seen it? how is it?
i guess all those controvercy created by the jewish community about it being discriminating is going to backfire on them.
i wouldn't have spent two hours watching it even if it were given to me, but now with all the controvercies, i'm wondering if it's as discrimnating as they make it sounds or not, and might even spend money to watch it. does anyone feels the same way?

It will be a powerful movie for several reasons, depending on who you are and your beliefs.
If you are an atheist, you will probably treat this movie as a fictitious, yet brutal, story nicely conceived and presented to the screen by Gibson.
If you are a Satanist, you will probably scoff at the effort Gibson went to to bring this to the screen in such a intense way, but still admire the final work. You will laugh at the people who argue about this movie while backing their religion and condemning everyone else.
If you are a Christian, you will probably be moved to tears throughout the film, and especially during the whole cross-carrying scene. You will be amazed at the powerfulness of the whole film and develop a lot of respect for Gibson for getting the word out through a more mainstream way than Church. You will probably not look too fondly on anyone who dislikes the film for whatever reason.
If you are Jewish, you will probably still appreciate the film to a degree even though it doesn’t necessarily portray your religious followers as a positive force in the movie. However, if you are smart and Jewish, you won’t let it bother you because it is just a movie.
If you are a Muslim, I have no idea in hell what to expect from you because I can’t figure you out to begin with!!
ya. the movie is spoken in Latin, Aramaic, and Hebrew. there are subtitles though, so no worries.
my friend saw it already. she said it was brilliant - super graphic, but totally brilliant. she said, "it is how it was". the way that mel depicts the events is the closest and the most honest portrayal of the crucifiction of the christ.
haha but what i hear from news weekly is that the jews are outraged with this movie because gibson hints that jews were to blame for the death of christ.
im thinking im gonna see it with one of that waitress at my work and her church group. (they are reserving the theatre)
ill definitely see it. I think the Pope saw it and he said that, "It is as it was." i think it will be very powerful. I cannot stand how people think its innapropriate to let a movie like that open in theaters. Just because you don't believe in Christ doesn't mean that you should comment on how terrible it is. what if someone did that to a movie based on your religion? It makes me feel angered and i plan on seeing it. Thank you for doing this Mel Brooks.

But to stay on topic, Mel Gibson's The Passion is raising the ire of a lot of people, most of whom are accusing Gibson and the film of being anti-semitic....I dunno..let's wait and see...
