Who has seen the movie' The Passion of The Christ' and what you think of it?

Question

Beautifully written! God did an awesome thing getting this up on the screen.<><

Please ........
be nice no trashing anyone or anything
asked about the movie not an individual

Answer 1

Amazingly obsessed with blood! The most disturbing scene was the Marys using linens to sop up gallons of blood around the scourging pillar. What were they doing? Collecting relics to sell at Pentecost?

Answer 2

The movie was very graphic and let people understand the brutality of Christ's cruel death, but the centre of the Christian faith is the Resurrection and there was not enough said about it to inform non Christians what it really means.
In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul explains in detail the importance of the resurrection of Christ. Some in Corinth did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, and in this chapter Paul gives six disastrous consequences if there were no resurrection: 1) preaching Christ would be senseless (v. 14); 2) faith in Christ would be useless (v. 14); 3) all the witnesses and preachers of the resurrection would be liars (v. 15); 4) no one would be redeemed from sin (v. 17); 5) all former believers would have perished (v.18); and 6) Christians would be the most pitiable people on the earth (v. 19). But Christ indeed has risen from the dead and “has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen sleep” (v. 20), assuring that we will follow Him in resurrection.

Answer 3

I am thinking that you're making a joke. If you are not, then you should realize that you do not know how movies are made, how a movie comes to be 'up on the screen.' No gods involved, just bankers, lawyers, bankable actors, and accountants. This particular movie is an example of Mel Gibson's passion for S&M porn, it is anti-Semitic, as is Gibson. May I ask how you know it was 'beautifully written'? The dialogue is in a bastardized dead language.

Answer 4

In my opinion it is the Greatest movie that was ever made.

Mel Gibson said he toned down the beating and crucifixion to be more acceptable to a larger audience. Even though he was very close to the beating Jesus took, and closer than any other movie, I wish he would have made it exactly like the original crucifixions and beatings. It still made a very strong point and the message came across very clear of the sacrifice Jesus made.

This movie helped to save souls from hell. Some people did not believe until they could see for themselves. This is why so many people fought this movie. Satan caused them to do it. He wanted to stop anyone from seeing the truth of what happened to Jesus. A remake of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out at the same time and we never heard anything about the brutality and gore in that movie.

Answer 5

I did not see it in the theaters, but I was Johnny on the spot when it came out on dvd. You are correct, it is beautifully written and the story never grows old. But I am still a lover of the movie " Jesus of Nazareth." That, too, will rip your heart out and shake you back in line, if needed, to what is really important.

Answer 6

What is odd the the answers you are getting.

Need for backstory??? Where has he been living? Under a rock for 2,000Yrs?

I thought it to be a fairly accurate account of the pain Jesus went through. Today we tend to wash over the suffering he took. It is little wonder Jesus prayed at least 3 times before being arrested for a loophole out of it. Still going through with it testifies to his strength of integrity and character by going through with all this as depicted in the movie.

Wasn't it also odd that men were struck 3 times by lightning in the course of making the movie? One guy ducked for cover every time he saw a dark cloud.

Answer 7

I thought it was boring, didn't keep me intrigued. It had the excessive violence that I usually dig from Mel Gibson's movies, but because of that particular subject, it was missing the humor from movies like Braveheart that I really enjoy. I also liked Apocalypto more. It left things to the imagination which I also dig in movies. Passion was more like "Here it is, like it or not."

Answer 8

By leaving out most of the back story (we only got snippets in flashbacks), Mel Gibson gave us little reason to care about this man who was being so horribly abused by the Jewish authorities and Romans. A good storyteller would have shown us what kind of man Jesus was before asking us to feel bad at his ill-treatment. Instead, he just showed us a man getting the crap kicked out of him.

There have been much better tellings of the Jesus story. Franco Zeffirelli's _Jesus of Nazareth_ is my favorite to date.

Answer 9

Yes, I saw it a little while after it was released.
I praise God for its use in bringing people to the foot of the cross, where people have surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ. It is indeed a powerful tool, however, it shows in part the physical suffering of Christ, but Jesus also took our sorrows, pain, and sickness, and He made them His very own.

Answer 10

I know the Passion of Christ, I do not need to watch a movie of one man's opinion.
