Yeah that's because the topic can get pretty gruesome.

I'll leave this here as long as it doesn't get out of hand.



I saw the movie the other day, I thought it was amazing.

I saw it. I don't think it's weird that grown men were crying :confusion
If guys cried more often maybe they wouldn't be so stressed out :hehe:

I don't think it's weird that men were crying, it's just that it takes alot for most men to cry in public, especially during a movie.

I probably won't see it till it comes out on VHS or DVD, because it supposely is rather bloody, and I have a very week stomach. I've heard mostly positive things about it though.

I have no desire to see it at all.

I havent seen it yet but I heard ppl it REALLY sad.. I'm kind of scare to see it.. i dont know.

Actually, it's in Aramaic and Latin. Very bloody, so I hear.

Actually, it's in Aramaic and Latin.That's the only thing that I heard about it that bugs me. Most Jews at that time spoke Greek, not Aramaic, and only the upper class would speak Latin.

Eh...oh well...

It sounds really neat though. It really seems to bring it to life being in a different language. If it was in English I think it wouldn't be the same.

I'm with Lissa, I really have no intentions to ever see it, nor do I want to.

Plus, I kind of have a weak stomach..

Yeah, I was kind of nervous about seeing it at first...but it was very awesome and I'm so glad I went to see it. I went to see it with a cinema class I'm taking, and it was good to discuss the movie afterwards. (Though, you may not want to discuss it. My dad said that he had to keep from sobbing the entire time)

The Passion has mistakes in it, although Mel said that he would stick to the Scriptures. Not exactly sure if he reads the same Gospels that I do! Mary, Jesus's mother is just about as important as Jesus himself. Also, the guard, after seeing Jesus die, is supposed to say "Surely this is the son of God." Altogether, my Cinema teacher said she found 17 inaccuaracies, and she probably did not notice them all.

But don't get me wrong; this was an awesome film. I applaud Gibson for having the courage to make this film when he knew it could be the downfall of his career.

God rocks!!

No offense but it doesnt say anywhere in the bible that Mary was as important as Jesus

It's Catholic doctrine that Mary is to be considered almost equal ( or in some cases more important) than Jesus. But... for the sake of keeping this on topic:

As I said in the other thread, I plan on seeing it when I can. :)

I have no desire to see it at all. neither do i. i have no appreciation for gore and violence. :)

God rocks!! er... wasn't it jesus in the movie?

No offense but it doesnt say anywhere in the bible that Mary was as important as Jesus
I think that's one of the beliefs of Catholocism, that Mary was equally important as Jesus. And isn't Mel Gibson Catholic? Because he is, I'm pretty sure that's why Mary is shown as equally or more important than Jesus in the film.

Sorry to repeat a bit of what you said, Nickers. But I wrote this before I saw your post, I swear.

I don't know if I want to see it.... I don't know if I could handle it.

He is [from what I've gathered], though he belongs to some group within the Catholic faith that has some different beliefs than the main faith.
I've also never heard of Mary being held as more important than Jesus.

[on topic :P] I never have and never will plan to see the movie. I've spent all my school years learning about him, been through Stations of the Cross several times, I don't need it presented to me again.

sounds pretty gory...my friend says it wasnt that bad in terms of violence :wolf:

That's the only thing that I heard about it that bugs me. Most Jews at that time spoke Greek, not Aramaic, and only the upper class would speak Latin.

Eh...oh well...

Um...nope. The language in that region at the time was Aramaic, which got replaced by Arabic in...a year which I am too lazy to look up at the moment. As for the Latin, if you have Roman soldiers milling all over the place, I suppose at least SOME of them spoke latin.

That's okay, I'm brainless the rest of the time. :D

Mel Gibson is not perfect so the movie is not perfect. There are other things that Jesus said on the cross that were not in the movie.

Aramaic was spoken, greek was written, the NT was written in mostly greek.

As far as Jesus being the son of God and how confusing that can be: (i'm gonna keep this short)

I'm explaining it from a Christian stand point as far as what a Christian believes:

The trinity confused me a lot a few years ago but the best way to explain it is to compare it with something that we have around us: an egg. An egg has 3 parts: the yoke, the shell and the white stuff. 3 distincts part yet part of the same thing.

That's what christians believe, that there are 3 distincts part yet only 1 God. Jesus was with God when creation happened and like someone else said, He came to earth and then took our sins upon his shoulders.

It's like this: you're all taken prisonners and the head of the prison sentences you to death. So you're marching but then someone steps in and says "I'll die instead of this person". That's what we mean when we say Jesus died for us.

I hope that made sense and helped clear up a few things as far as what the christian view point is.

Oh geez, thanks for reminding me of A Tale of Two Cities...

sorry..lol i've actually never read that book...shame shame shame on me!

I'm in the middle of reading it... Hehe.

lol You look very noobish, Neptune. :D

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

:lol:

Wooh...can I join too? :lol:

I did it before didn't I? Complete with a little pink star:D

i haven't seen it...and....really...i have no desire to see it, as it apparently is a *very* gory movie (well, i guess it can get pretty gory in the Bible) and if you don't mind that kind of stuff then you'd probably like it :)

I've been vaguely thinking of seeing it, but my dad won't take me, and my mom probably won't like the gore.

lol You look very noobish, Neptune. :D

But noobism is SO FUN! :hehe:

Of course... yeah... why else would I want to be a noob... again... lol

That movie made me cry! (and thats a big thing for me)! Its very good....if you have a strong stomach.

Don't really want to see it, like Lissa.. like 5 years ago I watched a movie on TV with my mom that was about the New Testament, and they showed John the Baptist beheaded. I'll never forget that, and I'll never watch another movie like that heh.

I don't like gore, and I know the story, I know how it begins, I know how it ends.

I don't like the idea of someone commercializing His story, I don't think the powers that be like it either :hehe: The guy who plays Jesus got hit by a lightning bolt while he was on the cross :rofl:

That'll teach 'em ;)

We just finished studying ancient Rome... I really don't care much about Jesus being crucified (sorry)... I've already read a few books about it...

a movie is just a movie :) the truth (is it? i don't believe it but for some it is the truth i guess) is always better then some movie remake, but to make such a point of it? nah

I think critics should just leave this movie alone. like isaid, it's just a movie. I'm not planning to see this movie, simply because i don't like that types of movies anyway. The genre is what i don't like, not the story :)

Well... I just think it was just a way to get the story out... and so that some people who hadn't heard of the story could see it... in a more powerful way. I know I want to see it. My mother said she was more touched than she had ever been before in her whole life. And... this will probably be the only time this story will be told like it is... so I am quite excited to see it... even with the gore.

I haven't seen it but I would like to, it really all depends on how religous u are, it also really depends on how strong of a stomach you have. Me, I'm very religous so I think I would enjoy it; even though it's rather bloody. I heard that it has really changed a lot of people's opions on religion.

I don't like the idea of someone commercializing His story, I don't think the powers that be like it either :hehe: The guy who plays Jesus got hit by a lightning bolt while he was on the cross :rofl:



But did you hear that right after he got stuck he just got up and walked? That was God. And I thought it was kind of funny that him being struck by lightning happened while they were filming the Sermon on the Mount...a scene that took around 30 seconds in the movie!

I just watched it with my grandma this weekend. People, you shouldn't listen to the critics. It is gory in a different way. It isn't like gory stuff that would give you nightmares. It makes you think. The movie... in a way opened me up... and allow me to see things differently. I think EVERYONE should see it. Even iif you are not christian.

The movie for me felt rather (actually very) propaganda-ish, but it was well made. Everyone told me that they had cried after seeing it, but I didn't. I do get emotional on some movies, but I guess that Passion would be most saddening to the religious viewers.

well it is pulling in the viewers. :D
