Anyone else seen "The Passion Of The Christ" yet?

[Little Texan]

I went and saw this movie last night, and I gotta say, it is the most graphic, brutal film I've ever sit through, by far. Just about the whole movie was hard to watch, but there were a couple of scenes that were especially hard to watch. The part where they're whipping him with that weapon that had all that sharp stuff on it, which tore out hunks of flesh, and the part where they're nailing him to the cross. Watching him struggle to carry the cross whilst being whipped relentlessly the whole way was difficult, also. Overall, I thought it was a very good film that was very well done...the acting is top notch. The guy that played Jesus did a superb job,and he should get Oscars for best actor and best performance, IMO. After the movie was over, everyone just sat there in a daze staring at the screen when the lights came on...some were crying on the way out, and others were walking around in a zombie-like trance state with a dazed look on their faces. The violence and sheer brutality in this film is very shocking, and this is one movie that you sure as hell don't want to take small children to...it will traumatize them.

Not yet

I'm waiting for the church crowd rush to subside before I go to see it. Local churches here in the Atlanta metro area have bought up all of the seats in blocks! Some are even renting entire theatres to see this flick! Maybe next week I'll check it out.

I saw it. I already knew the ending, though.

Seriously, the Romans were bastards. Historical accounts state this is how they actually flogged and scourged their victims, and not just Christ. Not quite the neat and tidy portrayal one reads in the Bible, is it?

Yeah, I saw it. I think the book was better.

Did anyone ever see that film "The last Temptation of Christ" (I think thats what it was called. There was a scene in there where Jesus takes a dump in a frypan and Mary eats it. (Or something like that !!)

Bizzarro !

I love fairy tales.

If you want to see a brutal movie, rent "Irrevesible." It came out in France (i think) in 2002 and was released in the States in 2003.

A good movie with some brutally honest scenes. Not for the faint of heart.

Im waiting for the video game to come out on the PS2. Kidding.
Actualy the sequel will be awesome...again. Kidding.

Seriously though was the Passion of Christ sub-titled? someone told me it was, and that was my only turn off. I dont need to hear them speak. But I hate reading and watching a movie at the same time.

to understand. (humorous enough for you LOL)
