Who\'s going to watch "Passion of Christ"?

[clips]

jesus preached the word of god & god only..he did not want to mix religion with gov\'t which was what some wanted him to do...& was crucified for it..some jews do not believe this story & to this day feel that one of their own will give birth to the son of god..

Ok so I finally saw this movie.

Now I have mixed reviews. Although the barring of the cross was done exceptionally well I think the rest of the movie lacked substance.

being a former bible thumber this movie seems as it was created bye someone who is not spiritual at all. But I am not knocking him for the effort that he put into it.

There where several parts of this movie I did not like including the flash backs of jesus carpentry days. I just don\'t see how any of that even made it into the movie.

 They made him seem like a mad crazy man and less of a savior(IMO) leading up to his death.

I am glad a movie of this nature can be done with great success I just wish they could have done it in it true essence.

1. Mel Gibson is very spiritual, he created the movie.

2. The part of his carpentry days was brilliant. Not only was it a taste of comic relief, but it actually showed him as a real man.

3. I find it ironic that, as a former \'bible thumper\', you would characterize Jesus as a \'madman\' from him being tortured.

I think it was very well done. And I\'m glad Mel G is raking in the big bucks on this movie - hah to the studios that wouldn\'t distribute it.

as usual i\'m waay late with this one..but i finally ended up seein this, and i agree with qdog,...i mean i know mel wanted to show how much jesus suffered, but it seemed like he had some type of facsination with it, i mean while watching this thing i was like sheeit enough already we get the point he was tortured...i mean i heard and read about the brutal beatings, but i thought this movie was going to focus on more than just his torture, like focus on some his great works of faith....when the movie ended i was like that\'s it?....so yeah i kinda agree that this movie could have had more substance to it....

but it also gripped me...the way they tortured him pulled at the ol\' heartstrings a bit, at one point i just wish i could\'ve gone back in time and whooped those perp\'s ass for doin that s**t....but i guess that\'s the effect mel wanted to get from people, well my reaction and countless other reactions...good film i just think the focus on the torture was just a bit much....

No matter what people say about Mel Gibson, I still think he makes kick-ass movies.

GO MEL

I watched part of it and fell asleep.
Was a snooze fest.

[Evi]

to break it down in general..the bible stated jesus feet was like bronze & his hair like wool...doesn\'t sound like anybody white to me does it? Kinda sounds like tyrone or jamil who lives down the street from ya!

He was a Jewish carpenter. And he wasn\'t pale white like the Mormons/Catholics want you to believe (there was actually a Mormon church with a blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus...yeah). And he certainly isn\'t what you think he is. He also was very homely looking and wouldn\'t even be recognized as attractive by most people\'s standards.

And damn this thread is old.

Why are you arguing a topic that\'s like over 2 years old?

[Evi]

Because clips brought it back from the dead.

At least it wasn\'t deleted. Clips saved this thread from extinction.

He resurrected Jesus.

That means Clips is god :eek:

Some people said He might be black.
