The Passion of the Christ
The thought had crossed my mind about having a KiwiBiker rideout to this movie...not.
You've probably heard about this controversial movie by now as it has stirred the hearts of many throughout the world, both Christian & non alike.
My wife & I just went and saw it and I would recommend it to anyone. I gave it a 9/10 which is very good on my critique scale!
If you see it please post your thoughts, thanks.

It's a must-see for me.
I want to check how authentic the Latin pronunciation is.And whether there are any grammatical errors in the Aramaic.
As for the rest...

Thanks Zed,
I saw part of the interview with Mel Gibson on 20/20, I can't quite understand why certain church types are getting their knickers in such a twist about the movie & the violence. I mean even though the bible itself doesn't go into the details of the violence of crucifiction it doesn't mean it wasn't violent...helloooooo, getting nails through your hands & feet & hanging thdre for a length of time isn't gonna be feel good & soft focussed!
I have to agree with Mel Gibson that most portrayals of Christ have him as a mild mannered, spineless wimp. Which I hate! He was a radical man no matter what you think about the bible or christianity.
My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.

Every time anybody does a "Jesus" movie the reaction is the same. Somebody is always offended, tears before bedtime...

Hitcher you are so correct, I remember the furora when "The Life of Brian" and "The Meaning of Lif" came out.
Celtic_Sea_lily, I hope that you're not saying that they had it tough in those days, criminals were really punished, radicals disposed of . . . . .
Lots of free advertising has occured for this movie as a result of the 'controversy'.

That's true...why do you think Jesus is so popular? His name is mentioned in nearly every movie to come out of Hollywood!!
Why aren't more movies made about Mohammed, Budda, Confucius, Joseph Smith, The Pope, Gandhi, etc? I suppose because they are all dead!

Or because religion only sells movie tickets when it's turned into a Hollywood "goodies and baddies", blood and guts scenario.Why aren't more movies made about Mohammed, Budda, Confucius, Joseph Smith, The Pope, Gandhi, etc? I suppose because they are all dead!

What's interesting is that the reverential sword and sandal epics of the 50s like Quo Vadis and Ben Hur which dealt directly or indirectly with Christianity were made by an industry in which many if not most of the studio bosses were Jewish...

Or possibly because Hey-Sus is a western constraint and the others are mainly eastern religions and our movies are largely based on western civilisation?Why aren't more movies made about Mohammed, Budda, Confucius, Joseph Smith, The Pope, Gandhi, etc? I suppose because they are all dead!Zed
Try watching a Bollywood movie and you will see Hey-Sus is never mentioned

Optime scriptum est. It should slip out more often.
Which just goes to prove my point that Latin is a universal language which we should all go back to speaking. But somehow using it to order fries and a thickshake seems to demean somewhat the glory and grandeur of Roman civilization.

Here we go again . . . . .
It is all about MONEY, make a movie that the majority of people will go to and money will be made.
Back on topic - So who else has seen the movie.
Immature and proud of it.
I'm amused by the cries of 'unfair' by some christian groups at the R16 rating. A case of the biter, being bit.
Otherwise I have no interest in seeing it. a result of too many years of having this stuff forced down my throat.
Whorem Fore
it will be a dvd by the time i watch it
