Today, I finally decided I should go see The Passion of Christ. About two weeks ago my devoutly southern baptist father decided that it was the most accurate portrayal of the event he had ever seen and that he must share such a moving work with his baby boy. I got a weird phone call from my dad asking me if I had seen the movie and then he told

I never said it said all the stuff you just said it did in the bible. I was pointing out the shit about Pontius Pilate... never said that shit with his wife was in it either... I was telling you that he was hesitant to have jesus killed in the Bible as well... that's all.

All I was ever going off was this statement of yours... "In the movie he's fucking hesitant about one more? My ass. So the movie does a good job of making Jewish holy men look blood thirsty, and Pontious Pilate look loving and compassionate. Slightly distorted."

And yes... in the movie and the bible he is hesitant... not your ass. And are you really that offended that it makes the magistrates look "blood thirsty"? I mean... I think gibson did that for the sake of the story... I mean, the jews were the ones who brought jesus to Pilate to have him tried in the first place... so says the bible. What do you want to have them portrayed as? "Ummm.... could you...maybe... please... have this man executed?"

That's another thing I don't understand that you keep bringing up... sure, it may make the magistrates seem quite mean and pilate quite compassionate... but it doesn't do that in general... it shows other romans rippin jesus to shreads soon afterwards and a jew helps jesus carry the cross after that..

blah bleh blah.

yeah o.k. I'm done with this for now. "blah bleh blah" is what it's come down to.
