I think it will be good.
I'm going to watch it even though I probably won't understand all of it.

I heard that is boring and dull
According to O'reilly
If you like the book , you would definitely like the movie
If you dont like the book then you wouldn't like the movie
If you didnt read the book then most likely you will find it very boring.

In the movie they show to the viewers that Jesus is married to Mary Magdalene. That Jesus was not the son of God but just a regular human being.

since i'm a christian my friends down here and especially at my church are condeming it. and saying that us christians shouldn't watch it.
forgive me if i can distinguish faith and fiction....

The book was really well done. I have extremely high hopes for the movie.

ive heard bad things...and tom hanks who is in it, got a bit chubby, but then again he is getting paid millions to do so probably

seems like a dumb thing for a church to do if you ask me, thats why i aint in any religion, i just go with the flow of everything
Senior Member
its a dumb thing for anyone to do. i would understand their POV much better if they were to state, something like, "thats not we believe" or something to that nature. nothing wrong with taking a stance. but "don't watch this filth" is over dramatic.
i'm comfortable with my relationship with God, and i can say, it would take more than a movie to change my view on that. maybe they should evaluate their own? but yeah, i agree with you fuel

Yeah i wouldnt much like it being thrown in my face, if they just did put out there point of view like you said, maybe the message would have got across much better instead of being ignorant about it lol

apparently many believe it isnt fiction...that it is actually fact..
that is what "christians" and Christians are upset about...that this false teaching is being so widespread...its also rediculous to give your money to such stupidity...
but then again I feel the same way about the "Passion of the Christ" movie...I know what happened to Jesus..I dont need to pay for it to be dramatized in a movie for me.
Senior Member
As a christian I am not going to watch it
Senior Member
well if they thought the movie/book didn't have any grounds for credibility, why condemn it? for them to condemn something usually means there's truth in it and they don't like it cause it conflicts with their brainwashing.
as far as faith, you know christians used to burn people at the stake for being "witches"? do you know more people were killed for christianity than any other religion by a longshot? do you also know your faith is based on a book(s) that were written by humans, just like us, and just as we have egos and conflicting views of the same experiences, so did they? you're also following beliefs that are based off of information over 2000 years old. little outdated, don't you think? much of it no longer applies to life nowadays, but they still cling onto it for lack of anything new.
Senior Member
they need to stop casting that guy for parts. i can't stand such commonplace actors being casted again and again. makes their roles so unbelievable. i'll be waiting for him to bust out "wilson" and start talking to him.
Senior Member
good call.
problem is, many of these bible-bangers know there is a lot of conflicting information out there that would make them question their beliefs. rather than being open-minded to it and looking for a higher truth, they simply call anything conflicting with their beliefs "evil" and "blasphemy".
Senior Member
passion of the christ was a horrible movie IMO. i downloaded it off the net cause there was no way i was gonna pay for it. glad i didn't, cause i would've been seriously p*ssed. i'd hardly consider it a movie though. more like just another shock-horror movie, just as house of wax and all the other similar horror movies looking to simply be as grotesque as possible.
as far as truth behind this new movie, i don't know nearly enough to make any kind of decision. all i have to say at this point is i find it hard for one person to have noticed something that the rest of the world failed to see?
if jesus were just a regular man, then why did so many people see him as more? according to jesus, he did indicate he was just as one of us and that many people were misconstruing what he was trying to tell them by them continually trying to act as if he were "above" them. he was merely in a process of what's called "ascension" (yes, that's where my name here came from), and the books you read of his life were merely examples of one persons experience of it's progression. jesus is by far not the only person to have partaken that journey, and nowadays more people than ever are beginning to do so.

The best publicity any film/book can get is for some body to ban it. Be it the government or the vatican. No wonder Dan Brown sold millions of copies.
He even has the book classified under fiction. However there is another book, claiming to be fact called "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" based along the same lines (they even claim Dan Brown stole thier idea) and this didn't even raise an eyebrow with religiious leaders.
As for the film i am sure it will be quite entertaining although I have read reviews calling it "dull" and "lifeless".
As for me and belief, I thought the fundamental basis of christianity was forgiveness and free choice. Therefore, surely we have the choice to beleive it or not, and if we make the wrong choice, we will be forgiven for it! Cant' lose!
And If one reads he bible/gospels correctly Jesus was made in the likeness of man, with all the temptations and suffering that entails, who is to say he didn't marry Mary Magdelane and have a child !!!
Just my 2 cents
Senior Member
whoa, where did you get that info? you can only have free choice according to christianity if it conforms to their beliefs. otherwise, you're going to hell. great god, eh? gives you free-will, but then if you don't choose to believe certain things, eternal damnation? well, i think that alone makes it quite clear why i'm spiritual and not religious.
Associate Member
My point exactly (was being sarcasic but intonation a litle difficult in written format)
WRONG !!!! It isn't God that takes anything away or condemns, it is the Religious leaders that do that. There interpretation. Just like all religeons and beleifs, its down to personal interpretation.great god, eh? gives you free-will, but then if you don't choose to believe certain things, eternal damnation?
And for the record "I was brought up a strict catholic, and through my own research and intellectual descisions, I have concluded that God (any God) exists through faith and faith alone. Ipso facto "No Faith = No God". Therefore God does not exist.
Senior Member
though i agree with much of what you said, i have to disagree with the god does not exist remark. personally, i think there are simply many paths, and each religion and spiritual path out there is simply one of the many paths you can take to get where you need to go.
i've studied spirituality, metaphysics, quantum physics, and basically about every other aspect of both the physical aspect of life/afterlife and the spiritual aspect of it. i find that with enough information, it is pretty safe to conclude that their is continuity of consciousness after life.
with that in mind, there must be at least some glimpses into what that continuity consists of, hence our glimpses with religions and spiritual teachings. however, just as if two aliens came to earth to ask someone what life was like here on earth and one asked a US citizen and one asked someone in Japan, they would get two completely different stories. well, that is similar to the situation you have with the afterlife. it's merely different perspectives of what is in a larger picture, the same thing.
of course, this is only my conclusion based on my research, and may very well be wrong saying as i have no concrete evidence personally, at least as of yet. however, if it is wrong, then when we die, we cease to exist, and none of this will matter anyway.

That sucks. Thats what I was going to see this weekend
Anabolic Member
Dont you hate how 99% of all movies completely destroy the book? I too have high hopes, but also low expectations.
Anabolic Member
I'll wait and rent the DVD.
Member
This thread was just asking about the movie not your highly educated opinion fellas....
Anabolic Member
It got horrific reviews, but my fiancee is forcing me to go see it anyway. I'd rather see something else, but nothing else came out this weekend except kid movies and See No Evil, with Kane.
That don't kill me, can only make me stronger
that sucks it got bad reviews, o well im sure i will still end up seeing it
Tell us how it was once you see it
Grade A Beef
You already see MI III?
Anabolic Member
I want to see it. Xmen 3, and MI 3 look really good, and I'll probably see those first. Never read the book, but Ron Howard and Tom Hanks are a good duo, so I think it would be pretty good.
Associate Member
Excellent movie !! Massive improvement on MI II
Grade A Beef
Xmen looks like its going to kick ass

Excellent movie !! Massive improvement on MI II
Thats what I would go see but my lady has read the book and now we have to see the movie..blah blah blah. You know how it is
Anabolic Member
I'm going to try to see it tonight. I'll let you guys know how I feel about it after words ok.
Anabolic Member
given the fact that the book is a POS, that tom hanks sucks, and ron howard sucks even harder, i'm going to have to go ahead and say the movie sucks. the only thing good about it is audrey tatou and i have to believe the only reason she did it was because they threw a ridiculous amount of moeny at her.
