The Passion of The Christ is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art. Good Website Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it. Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): Protesting Gibson's Passion Lacks Moral Legitimacy by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.
Hey Kyle, not much, you?tears4mthastarsFebruary 23 2004, 02:44:14 UTC
Kyle,
Hey, thanks for the comment, well... I think that this movie (well the idea) was honestly sent to Mel Gibson from someone upstairs. This world is in drastic need of change and I believe that something needs to be done. This movie I think was made to tell all people what really happened to Jesus Christ. I think the press is hyping it up about it being anti-semitic or whatever. I think that Mel Gibson was honestly trying to put out the truth of what really happened to Jesus Christ his last few hours on this earth as well as what he went through. Being a Christian or not you need to know that Jesus was a factual person and he did walk this planet. Whether you believe he died for your sins and took it all to the cross for everyone is someones choice they have to make, but I believe that this movie will change lives. I also believe that some will finally understand what really happened to Jesus and how he went through such torture. I don't think this movie is a bad thing, I think it's a good thing, as well as an informative thing. There is your answer. Talk to ya later! *Rachel*

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.
So what do you think of all this?
