Is it really as controversal as it is said to be?
People need to get over themselves sometimes.

The only contriversary should be is it too violent for kids to watch. The ratings should take care of that. The rest is all media hype, like usual.

O.K., it is said to be anti-sematic, now wasn't Jesus Jewish?

My mom asked me if I wanted to go with her to see " The Passion of the Christ " , but I don't feel like it. It's supposed to be really gruesome and violent and people walking out of the movie crying and stuff. Kinda strange

Some jewish groups are calling it anti-semetic. Crucifying Christ was anti-Christian for God's sake. I don't think it will change peoples beleifs, let alone make them Jew haters. It was a violent time in history. even if you don't beleive in religions. It was during the Roman conquest, and war was everywhere. People were killed for no reason at all.

mel gibson is a devout christian, and if you're read those parts of the Bible, jews have the major role in Christ's execution. not being anti-semitic, that's just how it is. people need to try checking their sources before they start bitchin.

Mentally scarred! We went to Catholic school and they showed us Franco Zeffereli's Jesus of Nazareth, with Robert Powell. The crucifixion scene was really gruesome and unsuitable for five year olds...they'd never get away with showing it to kids now. Fascinating story though.

I don't know why I have this crazy idea about this movie being like "Braveheart" but with Jesus instead of Wallace. ;D I'm definetly going for this one.
SALVATION!!!!

Ehh... I'm not in that religion sector... but I'll probably see it, to check what the hell is up with it... but hollywood gets the money... yet when else will I see it? wait for it to come out on tape, you know grandmom and grandad will probably rent it and make you watch it... no they won't. they prefer books instead of movies. And they know you have yet to have really read the bible. Ack! got me there!
sorry... inner conflict just had to get out...

You know, if you really wanted to get the whole/true story, there's a little book called the bible you might want to look into. I hear you can even get it for free in some places.

Of course. Why would people want to hear something boring as the the facts? Shame on him for not adding hobbits and jedi dinosaurs to the movie!

So, I finally saw the movie yesterday and I like it. The choice of James Caviezel as Jesus was excellent. I didn’t recognize him at first (I wasn’t aware of who was playing the part), but I did recognize his sweet and kind face from other movies where I saw him. Regardless of all the amount of violence and blood, it was a good film and I guess all that serve the purpose to portray Jesus as a human being, weak, confused and scared. And yes, I did cry. Not like I was crying the whole movie, but there is this one particular scene that broke my heart and I couldn’t control myself. And yes, Mel Gibson is making tons of money with the film. Good for him, smart boy.
