[Dogstar]

I'm not sure about this one...I hate it when a movie is so hyped. It usually disappoints, but I like Mel Gibson, so I don't know.

Mr. TN, I'll definitely keep you and yours in my prayers. :hugs:

[hotforscott]

I am actually kinding of wanting to see it, as well. Each time I see the commercial,I think it looks more and more interesting. It is getting TONS of hype, though. I know what you mean, Dogstar.

[Sheila63]

Yes, Mr. TN, I'm looking forward to seeing it too. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.:hugs:

[Sincirr]

There has been alot of controversy with the Jewish community that the Jews are depicted as really bruital compared to everyone else. Because of that it has been re-cut. All it is is another interpretation of a book. I thrink Scott said that too.

Supposedly its also controvercial cos Jesus has some sort of a fantasy or something, about martha and mary.

Is it true that its mostly subtitles?

I got this article from Carrie(hotforscott) and I thought I'd share it with you :)

I rec'd this by email and I thought you might like to read it. Carrie



From: Jody Dean, Dallas/Ft. Worth CBS news anchor

There've been a ton of emails and forwards floating around recently
from
those who've had the privilege of seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion Of
The Christ" prior to its actual release. I thought I'd give you my
reaction after seeing it last night.

The screening was on the first night of "Elevate!", a weekend-long
seminar for young people at Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano. There
were about 2,000 people there, and the movie was shown after several
speakers had taken the podium. It started around 9 and finished around
11... so I reckon the film is about two hours in length. Frankly, I
lost
complete track of time - so I can't be sure.

I want you to know that I started in broadcasting when I was 13-
years-old. I've been in the business of writing, performing,
production,
and broadcasting for a long time. I've been a part of movies, radio,
television, stage and other productions - so I know how things are
done.
I know about soundtracks and special effects and make-up and
screenplays. I think I've seen just about every kind of movie or TV
show
ever made - from extremely inspirational to extremely gory. I read a
lot, too - and have covered stories and scenes that still make me
wince.
I also have a vivid imagination, and have the ability to picture things
as they must have happened - or to anticipate things as they will be
portrayed. I've also seen an enormous amount of footage from Gibson's
film, so I thought I knew what was coming.

But there is nothing in my existence - nothing I could have read, seen,
heard, thought, or known - that could have prepared me for what I saw
on
screen last night.

This is not a movie that anyone will "like". I don't think it's a movie
anyone will "love". It certainly doesn't "entertain". There isn't even
the sense that one has just watched a movie. What it is, is an
experience - on a level of primary emotion that is scarcely
comprehensible. Every shred of human preconception or predisposition is
utterly stripped away. No one will eat popcorn during this film. Some
may not eat for days after they've seen it. Quite honestly, I wanted to
vomit. It hits that hard.

I can see why some people are worried about how the film portrays the
Jews. They should be worried. No, it's not anti-Semitic. What it is, is
entirely shattering. There are no "winners". No one comes off looking
"good" - except Jesus. Even His own mother hesitates. As depicted, the
Jewish leaders of Jesus' day merely do what any of us would have done -
and still do. They protected their perceived

"place" - their sense of safety and security, and the satisfaction of
their own "rightness". But everyone falters. Caiphus judges. Peter
denies. Judas betrays. Simon the Cyrene balks. Mark runs away. Pilate
equivocates. The crowd mocks. The soldiers laugh. Longinus still stabs
with his pilus. The centurion still carries out his orders! And as
Jesus
fixes them all with a glance, they still turn away. The Jews, the
Romans, Jesus' friends - they all fall. Everyone, except the Principal
Figure. Heaven sheds a single, mighty tear - and as blood and water
spew
from His side, the complacency of all creation is eternally shattered.

The film grabs you in the first five seconds, and never lets go. The
brutality, humiliation, and gore is almost inconceivable - and still
probably doesn't go far enough. The scourging alone seems to never end,
and you cringe at the sound and splatter of every blow - no matter how
steely your nerves. Even those who have known combat or prison will
have
trouble, no matter their experience - because this Man was not
conscripted. He went willingly, laying down His entirety for all. It is
one thing for a soldier to die for his countrymen. It's something else
entirely to think of even a common man dying for those who hate and
wish
to kill him. But this is no common man. This is the King of the
Universe. The idea that anyone could or would have gone through such
punishment is unthinkable - but this Man was completely innocent,
completely holy - and paying the price for others. He screams as He is
laid upon the cross, "Father, they don't know. They don't know..."

What Gibson has done is to use all of his considerable skill to portray
the most dramatic moment of the most dramatic events since the dawn of
time. There is no escape. It's a punch to the gut that puts you on the
canvas, and you don't get up. You are simply confronted by the horror
of
what was done - what had to be done - and why. Throughout the entire
film, I found myself apologizing.

What you've heard about how audiences have reacted is true. There was
no
sound after the film's conclusion. No noise at all. No one got up. No
one moved. The only sound one could hear was sobbing. In all my years
of
public life, I have never heard anything like that. I told many of you
that Gibson had reportedly re-shot the ending to include more "hope"
through the Resurrection? That's not true. The Resurrection scene is
perhaps the shortest in the entire movie - and yet it packs a punch
that
can't be quantified. It is perfect. There is no way to negotiate the
meaning out of it. It simply asks, "Now, what will you do?" I'll leave
the details to you, in the hope that you will see the film - but one
thing above all stands out, and I have to tell you about it. It comes
from the end of Jesus' temptations in the wilderness - where the Bible
says Satan left him "until a more opportune time". I imagine Satan
never
quit tempting Christ, but this film captures beyond words the most
opportune time. At every step of the way, Satan is there at Jesus' side
- imploring Him to quit, reasoning with Him to give up, and seducing
Him
to surrender. For the first time, one gets an heart-stopping idea of
the
sense of madness that must have enveloped Jesus - a sense of the evil
that was at His very elbow. The physical punishment is relentless - but
it's the sense of psychological torture that is most overwhelming. He
should have quit. He should have opened His mouth. He should have
called
10,000 angels. No one would have blamed Him. What we deserve is
obvious.
But He couldn't do that. He wouldn't do that. He didn't do that. He
doesn't do that. It was not and is not His character. He was obedient,
all the way to the cross - and you feel the real meaning of that phrase
in a place the human heart usually doesn't dare to go. You understand
that we are called to that same level of obedience. With Jesus'
humanity
so irresistibly on display, you understand that we have no excuse.
There
is no place to hide.

The truth is this: Is it just a "movie"? In a way, yes. But it goes far
beyond that, in a fashion I've never felt - in any forum. We may think
we "know". We know nothing. We've gone 2,000 years - used to the idea
of
a pleasant story, and a sanitized Christ. We expect the ending, because
we've heard it so many times. God forgive us. This film tears that all
away. It's is as close as any of us will ever get to knowing, until we
fully know. Paul understood. "Be urgent, in and out of season."

Luke wrote that Jesus reveals Himself in the breaking of the bread.
Exactly. "The Passion Of The Christ" shows that Bread being broken. Go
see this movie.

[Mr.CreedFreakTN]

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm proud to say that today we went to church for the first time in two years. I hope I'm on the right track. Jen,you can come to Tn and we'll all go to see the movie :) . By the way Lechium, you may believe that their is no God or no Hell , but someday you will be faced with the reality that there is, maybe this movie would do you some good.

[JulieCitySlicker]

I agree ;)

[Sincirr]

I'm glad U went back to church. I tell you, the enemy has been doing everything he can to discredit the church! How many people U know have left, U know. He has also been making quite alot of advancements over the couple of decades to discredit Jesus, especially to convince the world that Jesus was just a good good person, but He is more than that.

I have been so burdened by what I see in the world. It's been looking worse and worse. There is less and less place for the things dear to the Lord's heart, and I said to God, please, turn it around. My hearts been so heavy about it.

But after reading that post, Julie, I am reminded that jesus said that On this rock I will build my church and THE GATES OF HELL WILL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT!

The rock was someone that we know was not near to perfect, but that's what Jesus said. I believe it!

There has been so much distortion concerning who Jesus really is. So much quarreling over scriptures...of this I am guilty too....I hope that focusing on the basic fact that He died for us, will bring the focus back on the basis of why we live for Him.

[creedsister]

Man That Movie Is Gonna ROCK cant wait to see it!!! Thanks For That Long ass Post But it was wort reading!!! Cool

[creedsister]

after reading my post i will never get the typing thing now Im just going keep doing it like i always do it and forget About good lord I know your trying} just dont give up on me yet!!!

[Mr.CreedFreakTN]

I'm excited and nervous all at the same time, Jessica and I are going Friday night to see the movie, I just preordered our tickets. They were showing on the news here some people that got to see the movie early last night and everyone that were coming out were all crying and some saying that this movie changed them for the rest of their lives. I pray that it changes myself and Jessica for the good, where we wouldn't disobey God anymore .

[Sincirr]

after reading my post i will never get the typing thing now Im just going keep doing it like i always do it and forget About good lord I know your trying} just dont give up on me yet!!!
U just take your time. You being part of this community is more important than your typing being spot on ok? I appreciate your willingness to improve, but at the same time, I'm just so happy U R here.
:hugs:
That's really cool Mr.CreedFreakTN. I hope you get that too. Blessings to U. And Jessica.

It seems God was preparing hearts even before this movie was released.

[JulieCitySlicker]

I really want to see this movie! I like MR TN am excited and nervous all at the same time. I think it will be good to watch it not only to get a better perspective of what Jesus went through for us but to help deepen my walk with Him as well :)

[PaulMcCoygirl]

The movie seem sreally good and hopefully it will move people to know what Jesus went through to save us. I know for a while last year I wasn't that close to God because I blamed Him for everything bad that happened to me. I always wondered why He let other people have all the luck and not me. My mom kept telling me that it was all for a reason, but I never believed her. As a cause of that, I drew further from my parents b/c I thought they had turned against me and didn't believe me. Up until that point I was so absorbed in myself that I didn't notice all of the signs He was giving me. He wanted me to change the way I was living my life and start to focus more on the things I should really care about. So now whenever something doesn't go my way, I know that God did it for a reason and so far He has never failed me! :D ;)

[Sincirr]

Thats wonderful. More powerful than a movie, is having your own experience.

I just got home from seeing it...

For once I dont know what to say...

[GeeK_2004]

How long is this movie ??

about 2 hours ??

[Sincirr]

yup

[GeeK_2004]

ok ..

[JenRN]

I saw the movie yesterday. WOW is all I have to say. It brought tears to my eyes on many occasions. And one particular scene I balled like a baby. It was moving VERY VIOLENT!!!!!!! But is that not what he had to endure? It show great love, hope and forgiveness. I was glad I went. Every time he was beat, I literally cringed, it is very violent. It makes you realize how much he did for us all. It made me realize a lot of things, it leaves you speechless.

[GeeK_2004]

I wanna see the movie so badly ..

[Mr.CreedFreakTN]

It was the best of movie I've ever seen about Jesus. It is so true you can't deny it, if you can something's wrong. Their were a few times I cried. He loves us so much that he died for us in such a violent way. Mel Gibson did an excellent job, I wouldn't change a thing. This movie will be the biggest movie of all time date, mark my words. During this movie I found myself asking for forgiveness over and over again. I could go on and on it affected me that way. All I can say is go see it, again and again. When it comes out on DVD buy it. You feel like doing something you shouldn't, watch it over and over it is that powerful.

[JenRN]

The one part I lost it at really easy was were Mary was watching him carry the cross and he fell. Then she had flashbacks of him as a young boy falling, and showed her going up to him. I TOTALLY lost it then, also when she cleaned the blood off the cement after his beating. When they dislocated his shoulders to get it to fit on the cross, I could go on and on. It REALLY afftected me deeply. If you left there with it not affecting you in any way something is drastically wrong with you!

[The Lithium]

oh he will im sure!!! I cant wait to see the film its gonna rock too!!!!!

Why do you guys want to see just this one so badly? It's just a film and a film about God. I don't think God every have existed so, well... I don't think it will be that good, I think it will be too much "God loves America and we're the best". I don't wanna get angry, so I problably will won't see it. Unless someone says that it ain't like that at all and that it's good, then I might can see it.

Yes chidren do understand For My jesus said If you do not enter the kingdom of heavean as a child ye shall not enter,,

[Sincirr]

I have learned in theology classes what a cat of nine tails does to someone's flesh, but to see it so graphically done...it was devistating to know He went through that and then endured the nails. Some scenes made me very angry as well. When they were whipping Him I wanted to yell out "STOP!". And the part where the enemy did the sick parody of Mary and Jesus...that was a good interpretation of him.

I loved the flashbacks to Jesus' life. These made me cry the most actually.

How was everyone with the subtitles?

Yeh I do recomend a viewing, even if U don't believe in God. So powerful.

[JenRN]

Yes the flashbacks really got to me too. Especially the ones where he was a young boy and fell, and Mary helped him out. then it showed him falling with the cross and she ran to him. I TOTALLY lost it then. I found the subtitles easy, but you had to be watching all the time or you would miss something. It was a great film, makes you think. If you went out of it not affected you have ice running through your veins.

[TeriB19]

The actor who portrayed Jesus in the film, Jim Caveziel was on Jay Leno this past week. He said that in the filming of the scourging at the pillar, they had his hands tied around the pillar and they had some sort of a metal shield about a foot from his back, so when they whipped at him and hit the shield, he would react to it for realism. However, once the actor that was swinging the whip went over a little too far and actually hit Jim in the back. Jim said the pain was tremendous and he almost passed out, it literally took his breath away and he was almost in shock. One swing of the whip left a 14" gash in his back and he was in enormous pain.

[JenRN]

Yeah Teri I heard that too. It was some film, why paint it all rosey when it wasn't right? Like I have said before, it is intense. you can't go and leave there without reflecting, thinking, feeling or weeping. I know that people are going to pick at it, rip it apart and those are the SAME people that find fault with anything. Sometimes you just need to open you mind and feel something, regardless of your "beliefs" or practices in religion. This movie made me want to be a better person and that alone says tons.

I agree with you 100 %. I feel the ones who come out of this film without feeling any kind of emotion at all need to take a look in the mirror and ask what is wrong with them. This film has done more for me and my family than anyone could . The film was rated "R" not for the violence, but 'R" for REALITY Check. GO SEE THIS FILM.

[JenRN]

Are you sure you are not my long lost brother Tracey? :D

Thanks for that. that blows my mind. And just to think that Jesus actually went through that 39 times....for real.

And the thing was that He had to! If U think of the verse in Isaiah, and by His stripes we are healed, He had to. It was part of what it took. Think about it, people could watch right, what if He watched it once Himself. That would have added to the anguish in the garden.

Here's the bible verse, written HUNDREDS of years before it happened:

But He was wounded and crushed for our sins. He was beaten that we might have peace. He was whipped and we were healed!
Isaiah 53:5 NASB

I saw the movie Saturday Afternoon, and I must say it was AMAZING the way it was portrayed. Definetly a great movie, but I would have done a few things different. I would have started it with the last supper and where Jesus tells Judas that he would deny Jesus 3 times, they use to pray with their heads covered (the movie did not show them doing that), spend time on the resurrection (an important part of the story), and I'm not sure what the point of the scene when Judas was running and those freaky little kids were chasing after him and that whole part just didn't make sense.

I think he meant by the freaky little kids that not only did he betray Jesus , but Satan had accomplished what he wanted him to do enough so that the freaky little kids drove him crazy and he hung himself. that was my thoughts on it.

That baby that "Satan" was holding REALLY freaked me out!!! :wtf: With the old face and narly teeth YIKES!!!!!!!!!!

[Mr.CreedFreakTN]

That was over the top. I wonder if Mel will make a movie now about Christ 2nd return to earth, maybe team up with the left behind people and get that out . I would interested in his ake on that as well.

i really enjoyed the movie. howver, i am not catholic, and there were a whole lot of catholic, and catholic types of scenes. it was very orientated around catholism (sp?). But i sill enjoyed the movie. very deeply moving, very poweful. yeah, who has that baby satan was holding supposed to be? just a demon? but that freaked me out. that image will stay with me for a while. but i think that movie is going to spread the word out about jesus and all that.

but my only real problem with the movie, is that it didn't answer the question "why did jesus have to die." there is a book out my john piper, called, "the passion of the christ, 50 reasons why jesus had to die." really good book. you may want to pick it up.

Hugh? You did not get why he died from that movie :confused: Really? It was very evident to me.

[american_bad_a$]

the only real mention of the sins of man, was by satan, in the first scene when he was saying to jesus, "do you really think that one man can take onb the full burden of sins?"

but i mean, no where in the movie did it talk about the depravity of man, or his need for a savior. it didn't say, "if you don't believe in christ, you are going to hell" or anything like that.

i know why he had to die, i just didn't get it from the movie. even chuck swindol didn't think the movie answered the question "why?"

does that make more sense?

[PaulMcCoygirl]

well anyway i'm going to go see it tomorrow so I'll tell y'all what I thought of it.

Yeh, I could see the Catholicism in it. I dont think it was overpowering though. It had a good mix of scriptural integrity, it was denominationally diverse, and even had a sort of abstract appeal in some scenes. Very good.

Yeh, when satan came with the baby, I got so angry, cos it was like he was walking around jesus while he was getting whipped and mocking Him. See, didnt he look like the virgin mary with child? It was like he was saying, this child that carried the hopes of the world is now a bloody mess on the floor, He is defeated. That was my first impression.

[creed_freak]

I think you misunderstood me. I know why Jesus had to die. I have known all my life. But the movie did not tell me why he had to die. it did not give the reasons, even though I already knew why. I am saying, If I wasn't a christian, and I had no idea why jesus had to die, if I watch the movie, I still wouldn't know because the movie doesn't answer the question.

what is so hard to understand about that? and what is up with name calling? i didn't do anything!!

Is ab$ the same person as creed freak?

Anyways, yeh I understand that it didnt say enough about why Jesus had to die and stuff, but if U understand the whole history of the passion play, the crucifiction is the only thing portrayed in it. It's just part of tradition. That's why the focus was on Jesus dying in The Passion of the Christ movie. In fact, it had alot more than passion plays normally have concerning Jesus' life.

[Sheila63]

The one part I lost it at really easy was were Mary was watching him carry the cross and he fell. Then she had flashbacks of him as a young boy falling, and showed her going up to him. I TOTALLY lost it.. It REALLY afftected me deeply.

I just got back from seeing the movie and WOW!! I cried during different parts of the movie and the scene where Mary has the flasback of him as a young boy really got to me too. Another part that was really moving was when he was on the cross and asked God to forgive them, even after all He endured from these men. I'm so glad I went to see it.

[facelessman]

whoa i just saw the passion. WOW. i think thats the first time ive ever cried at a movie. i think they did a good job.

[jbjfan]

all i can say about this film is that it isn't a movie that someone like your parents can decide whether or not you can see it. it's a movie you have to decide to see on your own. i personaly would love to see it but i might not make it through cuz i'll probably break down crying considering how easily i get emotionaly effected....

[JulieCitySlicker]

I havn't seen it yet but I want to. I'm not sure what I would think of it being in a different language though.

[Trees of Wisdom]

I havn't seen it yet but I want to. I'm not sure what I would think of it being in a different language though.

I haven't seen the movie, either. Jesus is great, but I don't know if I can handle all the graphic scenes.

[Sincirr]

I havn't seen it yet but I want to. I'm not sure what I would think of it being in a different language though.
Nah, the fact that the dialogue is in a different language means nothing. Seriously, I dont even remember that as an issue at all. Even the music I didnt even hear cos I was so moved by the imagery. It's worth seeing, as it brings a new depth to your faith.

What amazes me is at that time, on that street, if I were walking there, I would have seen it in real life! Cos it happened for real. How powerful to think of!

When I saw the movie, at first I kinda noticed the dialogue, but once it had been going for, hmmm, maybe 10 or 15 miniutes, I had completely forgotten that the dialogue was even there because I was so absorbed in the movie. I was reading it, but I really didn't notice it when I was. :) If anyone hasn't seen it, no matter what your religion is, I think you should see it. It's very moving, but very sad too.

[Sincirr]

The film just keeps birthing different things in me. Consider this eh, alot of huge leaders are kinda focused on keeping themselves there, U know, stayin in power, staying alive for sure! But this man, who claimed to be the Son of God, layed his life down, let the authorities, who were obviously not higher in rank than the Son of God, beat Him and nail Him to a cross. One of the disciples documented that He said, dont you think if I wanted to I could call upon legions of angels to help me. But He didnt.

I have friends that are so against Christianity cos of a long held offence at something or someone, or they just think the Gospel is crap, and they see my life, with my constant struggles with depression and physical pain and they just sneer at it all, a life of victory? If shes really with God, look at her life! Well, look at Jesus' life! I get angry at God cos He's allowing this in my life, I get disolusioned, I get angry and humiliated. Imagine Jesus.

At this point in time, I am almost done with it all. But jesus went through all that and even death upon a cross for God's cause. To spread and communicate His love, even to the point of torture and death, for ones He hadnt even layed eyes upon yet.

This movie is a wakeup call for all of us who are fed up of our circumstances, even those who are honestly weary from the fight. (I think I'm really only making sense to Christians when I am saying this, cos its sorta related to the Christian life).

Hey, I sorta want U to check this out. It makes me cry, and I have posted it here before, but here it is again cos I know God is using it. If youre finding it hard to carry your cross, see this. The music is Korean, so just turn down the volume and view it silently, very powerful.

When I asked my friend what Passion was like she descrbed it like that: "Remember Kill Bill Vol1? Well same amounts of blood, but all is comming out of one guy."

[Sincirr]
