The Passion of the Christ

,, but the portrayal of suffering and pain is apparently quite graphic which makes it a lot more involving to the viewer.

I have a good imagination. I don't need to see it, to imagine/ realise what happened! And most things of a like nature that happen worldwide!

Anyway, we get enough of that sort of thing on this site

...Only three people die (as opposed to the hundreds in many other movies) but the portrayal of suffering and pain is apparently quite graphic which makes it a lot more involvuing to the viewer.

Hope to see it this week or in the weekend

Good points Mr CK, but there are actually four who die in the movie! Three on Mt Calvary & one other...but I won't spoil it for you!

I saw it last night. I found it gut renching. Many tears flowed - not the sort you cried when you were 7 and Bambi had just died, but huge, body quaking grief at how much I have taken His suffering for granted. And that was the same for the 6 or so other people I saw it with.

Definately violent, but definately realistic.

I did not find it anti-semitic. Rather, like the Spanish Inquisition which has been mentioned in previous posts, an example of what happens when faith, religion and politics are brought together with tragic results.
