Let us know what it you thought Kev.

 

So did you watch it?

 

I cried, but I made it all the way through.

 

I've not seen it. So I have no idea what you are talking about. What about it scarde you?

 

You bought a movie and haven't watched it yet? How do you do that?

 

They're talking about a movie called The Passion of the Christ. It's a somewhat controversial film detailing the last few days of the life of Jesus climaxing with a rather graphic depiction of the crucifixion. It was written and directed by Mel Gibson which raised a few eyebrows since Gibson's father follows an offshoot of the Roman Catholic church and has been known to make "unfortunate" statements about Jews.

Some months back, Gibson himself was pulled over for drunk driving in the Malibu, California area. When the officers confronted him, Gibson began spouting off a long string of anti-Jewish statements. Once Mel sobered up and realized that he was being raked over the coals in the media, he "apologized". The Jewish community accepted his apology but all this added to the decidedly "Catholic" flavor of the film (as far as I've heard anyway) makes me wonder.

Frankly, I'd rather see a film based on this book which I consider more Biblically accurate and which takes into account the Judaism of Jesus, his followers, and Israel. Of course, that's just my opinion.

 

I have loads of DVDs that I haven't watched yet, some still in there cellophane wrappers

 

What ya think of it Kat? Or are ya still hiding under ya blankets

 

Ive got hundreds of DVD's, and i sometimes forget that ive got them lol. Just remembered i had the passion when kat mentioned it

 

OK, i watched it all the way through!
Seemed to be easier to watch on tv, maybe the massive cinema screen made it scary. Its good, well made film.

Agreed. Very poweful film, and well made. Might not be to everyone's taste but then you cant please all the people all the time
