I am so glad this movie came out today. I read the article this morning on the AOL pop-up thingy and its talking about world-wide EVERY one wants to see it. N' it also said that every theature was full some where in Dallas. Had like 10 features of it and its sold out all day, its crazy. But at least all these people wanna see a movie based on christ. Maby this movie will bring more peace throughout the world. I advize some of u non-jesus, god, christian belivers to go see this no matter what for real. Maby itll convert u or at least maby make u think more. but what are yallz opinionz on this.....
-
I wanna see this. I'm a non believer, but it looks like a good movie, and it's not gonna make me believe either :P
-
Even if u dont convert, its cool, at least u saw it. But dont u REALLY think that an abuncdance of grown people would CRY, including men, JUST over a movie over a man if god and jesus and the whole christian thing didnt really exsist?

its costing you your soul, for going to church, and not living life freely

I don't want to see it, because it just doesn't interest me to see 2 hours of Jesus Christ getting beat up. Not an image I want vividly stuck in my mind constantly.
I'd like to see some reactions of people coming out of the movie, though, it'd be a cool time to work at a movie theatre.
-
If someone converts because of a movie, I feel bad for them...
-
i dont know how anyone can convert after "seeing 2 hours of jesus getin his ass beat", plus workin at a movie theater sucks, cleaning up after peoples shit... they dont get payed a lot either
-
lol @ people crying after the movie...talking about the movie was a life changing experience / my life will never be the same ;D ;D ;D
oooooooook
lol NIK you gonna watch it? Don't tell any1 in the theater your Jewish.

lol, I live my life freely. Not sure what you are talking about.

I'd like to see it. In Islam, we don't see Jesus (PBUH) as being crucified, we have different beliefs. But it still looks like a good movie.

I know what he's talking about. He's just giving you a little bit of what Jesus had to go through 2000 years ago. Don't sweat it, he's not even worth a reply.

i heard the guy that played jesus in the movie, when they were tapin him on the cross or sumthin he got struck by lightin... i thought that was kinda weird

I think this was in a different movie that someone played Jesus in...Plus, it's probably a BS rumor...PeACe
-
man some of the comments in here are stupid...i was in the theatre and i was probably one of 5 people not crying...even my girlfriend almost cried and she doesnt cry for anything.
the movie was not just 2 hours of jesus getting his ass beat. if you pay attention to the things he says and the reactions of mary, and judas, and peter, etc....then you'll realize it wasnt just 2 hours of bloodshed. yeah it was a lot of blood but then again so was gladiator and everyone loved that. seriously im not religious at all...im not even christian but even i felt some power out of that movie.
i loved how just little things in the movie brought on flashbacks by jesus and mary about things that happened in the past...like when he fell while carrying the cross and mary had that flashback of when he fell and hurt himself as a little kid.
it was a very good movie...im not gonna get all religous over it. but it was done very well.
-
I heard the whole thing is gonna be in subtitles, which imo will suck. It looks like a dope ass movie, but I doubt I could watch a whole movie in subtitles. If I wanted to do that I would read a book.

actually i cant stand subtitles at all and i loved it...i am sooo glad it was in subtitles...it would've seriously taken away from the effect if it was in english.

They had some little thing on the telly about it a few days ago, loads of religious scholars and movie critics talking about how accurate/inaccurate /racist it is. Jews were beefing with Mel Gibson in a major way for his (and they were insisting it was Mel's portrayal, not The Bible's) portrayal of their race in it.
Doubt i'll go and see it, as i haven't been to the cinema in ages and their are other films i'd rather see, wouldn't mind watching it at some point though.

"its costing you your soul, for going to church, and not living life freely"
spending an hour a week in church thanking god does not qualify as "costing you your soul" ...I mean come on u probably spend twice that time scratching ur ass while laying on your couch....can you smell the freedom?

Woman collapses during screening of "The Passion of the Christ," dies at hospital
Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. - A woman collapsed Wednesday during a screening of "The Passion of the Christ" and later died at a hospital.
The Wichita Eagle identified the woman as Peggy Law Scott, 57. No cause of death was immediately available.
Scott was attending a 9:30 a.m. showing of the movie with some co-workers from Clear Channel Radio when she collapsed about 20 minutes before the end of the movie.
KAKE-TV, which was filming a story on local reactions to the film, reported that Scott collapsed during the film's bloody crucifixion scene.
Two medical professionals, including Dr. Ron Morford, were at the movie and tried to revive Scott, said Ken Crockett, a spokesman for Warren Theatres.
Morford said Scott was sitting behind him and several seats over. The movie was hitting a climactic point, he said, when he heard people saying something was wrong.
Morford said got out of his seat to see people get Scott into the aisle.
"I was checking her, and it didn't seem like she was breathing," Morford said.
He said she didn't have a pulse.
Someone called 911. Two women, at least one of them a nurse, began to perform CPR. Morford said he helped supervise.
"They did a very good job" trying to help her breathe, Morford said.
While people were helping Scott, the lights were turned on and moviegoers were ushered out.
Scott was taken to the St. Joseph campus of Via Christi Regional Medical Center. Roz Hutchinson, a spokeswoman for the hospital, confirmed the death.
An autopsy will be conducted on Thursday, according to a spokeswoman for Sedgwick County.
Scott was the general sales manager for KRZZ and KKRD radio stations.

I heard the whole thing is gonna be in subtitles, which imo will suck. It looks like a dope ass movie, but I doubt I could watch a whole movie in subtitles. If I wanted to do that I would read a book.
if u read a book it wont be the same as seeing the facial expressions of all the actors in the movie. It's more like a silent movie. U gotta watch it.
Damn thats crazy but sad about the women collapsing and dying. So far ive heard of something like this happening to 3 movies now...Jaws, Pulp Fiction, and now The Passion of the Christ
-
thats insane about that lady...i dont know how big clear channel is as a company but i was just talking to some of their staff a few days ago.
-
I think its really cool that ALL this attention is being given to Jesus n god, thats what the world really needz, peace. There will never b world peace, but we can hav it peacefulER, n Jesus can most definetly do that.....
-
Even if u dont convert, its cool, at least u saw it. But dont u REALLY think that an abuncdance of grown people would CRY, including men, JUST over a movie over a man if god and jesus and the whole christian thing didnt really exsist?
thats their faith talkin.. us non-believers dont posess any of that bullshit, at least i dont

I feel what ya sayin, n i dont put non of u non belivers down, but its not the religion talkin, its like jesus said, "When you hear the truth being spoken, you know its the truth" or sumthing to that extent. N' even tho it was just a movie, you could feel the passion n truth of everything that was goin down.
-
look im glad your all happy and all and your at peace with yourself...but i have a feeling that this movie wont bring anymore peace to the world than titanic did...sorry bud.

Wrong this was in this movie, Mel Gibson said it himself on Dianne Sawyer interview or somethin'.
I too heard the headline about that woman on the news last night.
Now I want to see how this measure up to Jesus Christ Superstar, thats the kind of movie that be makin people convert! 8)

I'ma see it tonight :D

WOW...amazing movie. And it's not just 2 hours of Jesus getting beat up. That's just what the media and all of the people against the movie want you to believe.
Everyone says it's so gory, but dang that's how it all went down you know. It's wasn't a pretty and semi-peaceful event like other perspectives might want you to believe.
For believers like myself, it was a reality check and makes you realize how much Jesus really went through for your salvation. If you don't believe, you still have to admire the story and the message that the movie portrays.
Props to Mel Gibson for not giving in to all the discouragers and for making such an impactful film. But of course, all props go to Jesus Christ and what he endured for our salvation.
-
LoL, reviews for this movie were horrible, some even claiming the movie to be anti-semetic...Check it out:
"The director claims he had no intention of making an anti-Semitic film and we tend to believe him, in much the same way we believe Larry Flynt when he says he's not misogynist."
-- Pat St. Germain, JAM! MOVIES
"Has such anti-Semitic possibilities and no upside for anyone but believers in Mel's vision that the execution of Christ is more important than his life."
-- Dennis Schwartz, OZUS' WORLD MOVIE REVIEWS
"If Jesus actually received the amount of punishment dished out in this film, he would have been dead three times over before arriving at Calvary. "
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD
"Bears the same relation to other biblical epics as a charnel house does to your local deli."
-- Peter Rainer, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"Controversy over whether it will inflame anti-Semitism guarantees huge audiences, and many people may be profoundly moved. But as a film it is quite bad."
-- Eric Harrison, HOUSTON CHRONICLE
"Does one really have to so debase Christ’s story in order to make it relevant to today’s audiences?"
-- Glenn Kenny, PREMIERE MAGAZINE
I was supposed to watch this today, but tickets were sold out...The movie reviews kinda' brought down my expectations though...PeACe
-
^most of those reviewers arn't credible sources
movie was fantastic
5/5
-
Want some credible sources?
"It's as if Gibson is measuring God's love by the amount of blood he shows on the screen."
-- Glenn Whipp, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS
"In the end, one can respect Gibson's high intentions and dedicated work, while remaining spiritually and dramatically unmoved by the result."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"A film so narrowly focused as to be inaccessible for all but the devout."
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
"The Passion of the Christ is so relentlessly focused on the savagery of Jesus' final hours that this film seems to arise less from love than from wrath, and to succeed more in assaulting the spirit than in uplifting it."
-- A.O. Scott, NEW YORK TIMES
"Gibson has made a movie for nobody, really, but Gibson."
-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"Puts us in a situation where we can't help but feel Jesus's pain. If only Gibson had taken the time to tell more of us why it mattered."
-- Michael O'Sullivan, WASHINGTON POST
"Bears the same relation to other biblical epics as a charnel house does to your local deli."
-- Peter Rainer, NEW YORK MAGAZINE
"A filmed bloodletting like no other on record, essentially a terribly graphic two-hour torture sequence."
-- Tom Long, DETROIT NEWS
"May have succeeded in exploiting Jesus's death for its most highly pitched emotion and drama. But in the process, for many believers, it may have served only to trivialize and further obscure the story's most central and sacred mysteries."
-- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
"Gibson ultimately seems to be preaching to the choir, rejecting standard storytelling conventions such as introducing his characters, assuming his audience already knows everything he's about to tell us."
-- Moira MacDonald, SEATTLE TIMES
"Mel Gibson's Passion, though well-acted, technically impressive and initially moving, is for the most part not beautiful and certainly not ennobling."
-- Jonathan Foreman, NEW YORK POST
"The movie Gibson has made from his personal obsessions is a sickening death trip, a grimly unilluminating procession of treachery, beatings, blood, and agony."
-- David Denby, NEW YORKER
"If you come seeking theological subtlety, let alone such modern inventions as psychological depth, you'll walk away battered and empty-handed."
-- Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
"The movie is a compendium of tortures that would horrify the regulars at an S&M club."
-- Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"Instead of being moved by Christ's suffering, or awed by his sacrifice, I felt abused by a filmmaker intent on punishing an audience, for who knows what sins."
-- David Ansen, NEWSWEEK
I think you get the point, but I can keep going if you want...
-
What do reviews prove? They are people just like you or me. They have no authority or power over whether or not I'ma see a movie or not.
For the critics to bash Passion for its blood and "gore" (if you can really call it that) and then praise Kill Bill for having ten times the gore is ridiculous and hypocritical.
The whole anti-semetic claim is even more ludicrous. If this movie is anti-semetic, then Germans should have been outraged by Scheindler's List/The Pianist and Japanese should of been upset by Pearl Harbor.
Let the haters keep on hating though, the movie grossed 117.5 million so that's what counts.
-
yeah i dont remember who said it earlier but they said it best. you gotta remember that yes theres a lot of blood...but when jesus was crucified shit wasnt all peaches and cream. it went down like that or as close to like that as we can imagine.
as far as reviews go i never listen to those. those are the same people who gave rave reviews & academy awards to that peice of garbage they call "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"
-
I read a good thing on it last nite, it said:
People are complaning about the violence, the cruxifiction was a violent death.
I thought thats a dope way to put it. Ya gotta hand it to Gibson tho, he wanted the movie made so he put everything into it even his own finance. Its about time we started to see movies like this though I feel. All these past people and shit and Gods and what have you and we have hardly any new films to watch that would make us understand the people more and shit. Just wait for the barrarge on movie now about Moses, John The Baptist, The Disciples, Adam And Eve, Noah...etc etc etc etc.
-

Couldnt have been said any better, AMEN
-
Since when are critics reliable? They have always been whack as fuk ever since i can remeber. They say the worst fukin movies in the world are the best n deserve 5starz but when a dope ass movie comes out, they bomb it n give it bad reviews. Critics are the most twisted fukerz in the world.

that was a great movie, not oscar worthy, but a good movie... im not praising critics tho, i never listen to them, why are they higher than a regular person in judging movies, they give bad reviews to a lot oof movies I like, and vise versa,
i still need to see this movie tho. i wana judge it for myself
-
Of course I hate critics...My favorite genre, horror, is the number one bashed genre by critics...I'm just saying that I was expecting a movie like this to recieve nothing but good reviews, and when the critics bashed it, it kinda' surprised me, and brought down my expectations in a way...PeACe
-
horror is such a great genre...the only problem is people dont get scared as easy now...luckily they are starting to come out with some seriously fucked up stuff lol...none of it scared me but it made it more entertaining...especially stuff like House Of A Thousand Corpses. that was such a wierd fuckin movie i loved it. i didnt even realize it was supposed to come out like 5 years ago until last night i was watching "the skulls" and before the movie it had a preview of that. i was like whoa this movies like 5 or 6 years old.

Ok, I went and saw this movie saturday...it was ok, already knew the story....but did they really need to show them whipping on him for 15 min....come on now...and moving him back and forth from the governor to the judge and all that got me bored and really was a waste of time....i guess im saying this because in my opinion i really liked reading this through the bible instead of watching it on screen...it was a 7/10....
but all the controversy about the jews not being portraied correctly and all....i dont think anyone has asked a jew this yet but, if they were not the way they were portraied in the movie, HOW SHOULD THEY BE PORTRAIED?
am i spelling portraied right?
And did anyone hear Mel Gibsons Father Give an interview about the movie and bash jewish people with all their stereotypes kinda like hitler?....that was wrong of him to do and kinda made it seem like mel gibson was making this movie and portraying the jews wrongly to kinda please his father's anti-jewish views
and another thing...there are many religious groups around who complain about their being too much violence on Movies and Televisions and want bans on shows and people and restrictions on many different things , yet they approve of their childeren watching this movie which has as much violence as any other movie....isnt that hypocritical?
Those Are My Two Cents on this movie and all the controversy, thank you
-
i think they needed to show them wipping him for 15 min....its not like they whipped him for 2 minutes and said "ok thats good enough"...they beat the shit out of him...it would've lessened the effect if they had cut down anything in the movie.

I haven't seen the movie yet, so I wouldn't know if it was anti-Semetic. But from what I heard, a lot of Jews have been complaining that it is...I don't really care if it is or not, because it looks like a good movie...I just don't want to see a bunch of idiot Christians/Catholics start up a revolution...Plus, Mel Gibson's dad is a well-known anti-Semite, so that makes people wonder even more...PeACe

twisted, no
exaggerated , no
mel gibson made this movie almost as closely to the bible as you could get!, he also got it historically right too with the roman's. read some shit on how roman's torchered and crucified people during this time and it's correct
what was exagerated? if anything it really could have been even more intense according to the bible
how what it twisted? everything in the movie happened according to the bible
the only thing i can think of that is inaccurate is when the devil yells at the end or when you see the anti christ

LMAO...You're tryna' tell me they didn't add shit and exaggerate the Jews to be total assholes?
Roman leader: You can either let the insane mass-murderer go, or Jesus go...You choose.
Kike leader: DEFINENTLY JESUS!!!
LMAO...And the fact that Mel Gibson's dad is an open anti-Semit just adds to it...Whatever though, I'm not complaining...Movie was cool...PeACe

Read your Bible man. They let Barabbas go instead of Jesus because the leaders and people cried out for it.
Mark Chapter 15 Verse 6-14 says:
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.

Roman leader: You can either let the insane mass-murderer go, or Jesus go...You choose.
Kike leader: DEFINENTLY JESUS!!!
LMAO...And the fact that Mel Gibson's dad is an open anti-Semit just adds to it...Whatever though, I'm not complaining...Movie was cool...PeACe
Read your Bible man. They let Barabbas go instead of Jesus because the leaders and people cried out for it.
Mark Chapter 15 Verse 6-14 says:
6 Now at that feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired.
7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay bound with them that had made insurrection with him, who had committed murder in the insurrection.
8 And the multitude crying aloud began to desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.
9 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.
11 But the chief priests moved the people, that he should rather release Barabbas unto them.
12 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
13 And they cried out again, Crucify him.
14 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done? And they cried out the more exceedingly, Crucify him.
I'm just saying, the way it was done was very exaggerated as to how it was written in the bible...PeACe

At the end of the day for all we know the story could be totally fictional so why argue?

the movies isnt anti-jewish, because then it would also be anti-roman since they were the ones who clearly took pleasure in almost beating him to death. i think with claims like that we forget about one of the real issues... this movies brought, catholic, christian and other religions together. this movie wasnt about who killed christ... it was about how human he really is...in ther movie we see a human jesus... one that loved beyond anyone comperhencion... it brought to us the devil... who even in the presence of the Lord... he will still try to take you...this movie brought Jesus to life... we now not just know the stroy... but we really know the storty.. it was like we almost were there and watching...we see his strong and careing mother... who stood strong and at his side... asking her son to take her when he dies...
i think we really needed a movie like this.. because of the way the world is going today.. it helps us remember who we really are....

man some of the comments in here are stupid...i was in the theatre and i was probably one of 5 people not crying...even my girlfriend almost cried and she doesnt cry for anything.
the movie was not just 2 hours of jesus getting his ass beat. if you pay attention to the things he says and the reactions of mary, and judas, and peter, etc....then you'll realize it wasnt just 2 hours of bloodshed. yeah it was a lot of blood but then again so was gladiator and everyone loved that. seriously im not religious at all...im not even christian but even i felt some power out of that movie.
i loved how just little things in the movie brought on flashbacks by jesus and mary about things that happened in the past...like when he fell while carrying the cross and mary had that flashback of when he fell and hurt himself as a little kid.
it was a very good movie...im not gonna get all religous over it. but it was done very well.
Couldent of said it any better. I saw it today, first day it came out and I thought it was superb. The acting, direction, story (of course), it was just a great movie to watch and as it is based on actual events I took it all in as if it actually meant something to myself and who I am.
Regardless of whether I am religious or not the movie was very powerful and moving and it kinda brings the whole thing that if he went through a thing like that just so you and I could be here, then I should be religious and thankful to this man.
I actually admit it I am quite an emotional guy when it comes to movies, if a movie touches me in a way that upsets me then I will not hold back, the only thing in this film that almost got me going was the bit that Luke said, the flashback of him falling when he was a kid and his Mum helping him. I loved that bit, so deep.
Overall the movie for me is a 5/5 and I could sit there and watch it over and over again. It does make you think though, if all that actually did happen, then what do we owe this man?
and.....can it happen again?
Great film.
