The Passion of the Christ

[Big Rush]

Who has seen this movie? I saw it Friday night and it was a powerful film to say the least...makes me look at my life in a whole new persepective...What did you all think of this movie?

[floyd_turbo]

can't be bothered with that propaganda ****...

[Big Rush]

can't be bothered with that propaganda ****...

Propaganda? Please explain how this movie is propaganda. It was taken from the Bible, so you think the Bible is propaganda?

[PuddleMonkey]

Propaganda? so you think the Bible is propaganda?

Yes indeed!

But you can't argue with an agnostic view, so save your breath.

[palequail]

I loved the movie....I believe it to be true and it doesn't make me hate Jews, I don't know why anyone would think that. I'm German and Schindlers List didn't make anyone hate me more.

That's a good point. it seems to be ok for movies like Shindlers list to portray
germans as evil . But when the tables are turned they cry anti this and anti that.

I agree,
I am sick and tired of hollacaust movies, it was 60 years ago, move on. It is not like they are the only race who suffered, think about Africans, think about native Americans, think about lost Central and South american civilizations.
I wont be suprised if they make a high budget hollocaust movie next year just to shadow "Passion".

It is a great movie, not a propaganda, (you cant change the reality Floyd_turbo) eventhough I am a muslim, I am deeply touched. Only a holly person could bare such tortures and it is sad jews denied his holliness after all.

[mass junkie]

I thought the movie was amazing.....I actually wept

[Superhuman]

it was great, but only true Christians or those who have studied the faith can deeply appreciate it's meaning.

[PuddleMonkey]

And the first one to mistake 'agnostic' with 'atheist' gets b*tch slapped!

I want to see that movie, i never had a chance to yet. I heard that it was very intense and sad. But i can not wait to see it. Was it really good?

I saw it and was extremely touched by it. I want to see it again, but I think I'll wait a bit. Anyone who calls themselves Christian should see it. Gibson has managed to bring all the denominations together and thats pretty cool stuff!

[Superhuman]

I got to admit, I had a couple tears too

[groverman1]

Saw it for the second time last night and it was just as intense as the first time.

[Xavier_4446]

I absoutly loved the movie. It was the most inspiring and touching thing that I have ever witnessed. I don't see how you couldn't help but cry.

[ChiTownTommy]

ya it is a great movie, go see it no matter what religion you are

[Mr. Sparkle]

It was emotional to say the least, I cried a lot. As a person of faith I have always heard about the death of Christ, so it kind of lost its meaning. Now its shown to me in a whole new light. Loved the movie!

[omen78]

Great movie... if it is Mels last then **** what a way to go out. This is a classic !!! Dont see how you could'nt like it ... well... unless you are one of those that told the story another way

[monster.]

I havn't seen it yet, cause i heard its in subtitles.. It sounds like its a pretty decent flick..

[MilitiaGuy]

even we the muslims dont beleive in the same christ story like christian do...but the movie was very good it show how agressive the jews are...plus it have very good music

[thegorilla]

It was a great movie.

I havent been touched like that from a fairy tale since the first time my momma read 'Little red riding hood'

very graphic very touching

the only reason you liked it was because it made the jews look bad? You and Hitler would be two peas in a pod. The music was alright.
Here's something I read, it was written by some Rhoads Scholar...
It was something to the effect of, either Jesus was a terrible person or he was God.
God- Did wonderful things, performed miracles, preached peace and gave
much wonderful advice, Died for our Sins

If only Man- Told lies after lies, misled millions of people, was insane or delusional. Some Jews say Jesus was a good man, but not God. If He wasn't God, then He couldn't be good because of that.

[BOUNCER]

the movie was very good it show how agressive the jews are...

"Are", is was set 2000 years ago. Read the Bible, everyone was agressive.

[Want2GetHuge]

Great post everybody. I am glad to see that others were touched and some of you wept. I hope that everyone that sees it has a lasting impression that isn't so quick to fade away. Jesus Christ was sent here by God and was His ONE AND ONLY SON... he was sent here to endure the pain and suffering put upon him, so that we may come to have everlasting life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and whosoever believe in Him, shall not perish, but have EVERLASTING LIFE" John 3:16

This movie was INCREDIBLE and it touched my heart. I wept a little the first time I saw it. The second time I saw it was with my girlfriend's Church, and at the end, the pastor got up and spoke about the sacrifice Jesus made for us and he started crying, good Lord, I lost it, I REALLY wept then - it was the MOST POWERFUL film EVER...


GO SEE IT.. PLEASE!

[Tock]

I read the book . . . it's just a work of fiction, nothing more. I saw clips of the flick on TV, and as I don't get off on gratuitous violence, I ain't gonna see it.
Instead, I watched a couple of Groucho Marx flicks. I'm sure I had a better time . . .

okay..........well, you are entitled to your opinion.

[Tock]

okay..........well, you are entitled to your opinion.

True . . .
I've thrashed out the "Reason vs. Religion" arguement with lots of folks before, and it always comes down to religious notions are based on faith.
I have no problems with that; in fact, in this life of misery, grief, and woe, anything that helps a fellow make it through from one end to the other, or anything that brings comfort in time of trouble, is a good thing.
What ain't a good thing, though, is when one group of people try to make other groups of people conform to their religious ideas. When I see those kind of religious nuts, I take a sordid pleasure in disassembling the Book they base their obnoxiousness upon, and I like to think I do a pretty good job at it.

Religion is like sexual orientation in that regard . . . everyone is entitled to their own, but they don't need to be pushing it off on other disinterested people.

I agree 100%...I do not like those types of people either, especially Jehovah's Witnesses....LOL

it seems like you're just TRYING HARD TO BE DIFFERENT, tock. When we talk about girls or whatever, you say how you're gay and you like men. When any of us say Bush is good, you say Bush is bad. When we say MilitiaMan is a freakin loser and needs to shut up, you say "don't be so mean to him, free speech, blah blah blah" AND NOW, when we talk about the most wonderful glorious Jesus Himself... you say it's all a bunch of crap and in a way diss our beliefs. Well I THINK YOU ARE A LOSER. YOU ARE A VERY SORRY GAY, LIBERAL, GOD-LESS MAN WITH NO MORAL, ETHICAL, OR RELIGIOUS CHARACTER. I, as many others here at AR probably, would appreciate it if you didn't go out of your way to be so different and spread your filth around threads talking about how wonderful something is.

But cmon....how do you really feel?

[Tock]

1) it seems like you're just TRYING HARD TO BE DIFFERENT, tock.
2) When we talk about girls or whatever, you say how you're gay and you like men.
3) When any of us say Bush is good, you say Bush is bad.
4) When we say MilitiaMan is a freakin loser and needs to shut up, you say "don't be so mean to him, free speech, blah blah blah"
5) AND NOW, when we talk about the most wonderful glorious Jesus Himself... you say it's all a bunch of crap and in a way diss our beliefs.
6) Well I THINK YOU ARE A LOSER. YOU ARE A VERY SORRY GAY, LIBERAL, GOD-LESS MAN WITH NO MORAL, ETHICAL, OR RELIGIOUS CHARACTER.
7) I, as many others here at AR probably, would appreciate it if you didn't go out of your way to be so different
8) and spread your filth
9) around threads talking about how wonderful something is.

1) It ain't hard being different when you are different. Some people have a need to conform and imitate others, others just don't have the backbone necessary to stand up and be the person they really are. I am afflicted with neither disability, and don't give a rat's ass if the person I am disturbs or frightens you.
2) Well, the truth of the matter is that I am gay, and I do like men. I certainly don't bring this up every post or every thread that showcases heterosexual depravity and extramarital adventures, primarily because if I gave even a half-hearted effort at doing so I would be typing 24 hours a day. Ocassionally I'll make an offhand comment, sometimes a well-intentioned "tease" (as I did with OG a while ago), and while your "delicate sensibilities" may have been offended, you're just gonna have to get over it.
3) I only say bush is "Bad" because if I was to voice the full contempt for him and his administration I harbor, I would doubtless find myself cast headlong into a hurricane of invectives of such caustic nature as to corrode the insides of your computer monitors. Consider yourself lucky.
4) I challenge you to show me where I have ever said what you accuse me of saying. If you cannot, then I call you a dirty-dog teller of untruths, a two-faced rubber-nosed spreader of ill-will, and an over-controlling liar who gets pissed off every time someone smarter than you presents a more intelligent arguement or opinion.
Ya, meet my challenge, else bear the full scorn of my jaundiced eye . . .
5) If you check to see what I wrote, you will find that I offered my personal opinion. I did not criticize anyone else because of their beleifs. Now, if you wish, I will be happy to explain in greater detail the reasons why I came to my conclusion. We should probably do so in another thread, as this one began as an inquiry into who did and who didn't see a particular film, then degenerated into a personal attack upon my good character.
6) LOL . . . you're welcome to your opinion, but again, your opinion is based not on what you know, but only on what you think you know. You'd have a different perspective if you actually did know me, I'm sure. But, it makes no difference to me . . .
7) It seems to me that there are very few fellows on this AR board who feel threatened by me. You have the distinction of being the first to ever speak out against members being "different." Now, if I was obnoxious and spoke with a plurality of coarse four-letter words and besmirched personal reputations and accused them of doing things I have never done (as you are guilty of), then I would be inclined to agree with you, take my medicine, and go sit in some dark corner for a while. BUT since I am nothing more than an opinionated abuser of polysylabbic vocabulary who seeks to gratify his sexual urges with no less enthusiasm than what you yourself do, I think you are most likely afraid of (a) dissent (b) heretics (c) homosexuality, quite possibly because you subconsciously harbor a fair share of each in the dark recesses of your psyche.
Again, you'll just have to get over it.
8) Filth? What filth? JHC, you sound like the Nazi music critics after listening to 1938 Swing music . . . "Ya, eet is schweinfilthen!"
9) Again, you're gonna have to learn to deal with it, sweetcheeks. Neither this board nor this planet revolve around you and your fragile system of right and wrong. IF you cannot read what I post without trembling and shaking and having your blood pressure shoot up ten points, then just ignore my posts. Skip over them. Eschew each and every one.
We'll both be better off.

I'll bite.

[GOLDINC.]

havent see it yet
great point tock

[palequail]

I don't think all jews are aggressive at all. Back in that time everything was very violent and that is how it all went down. Chrisitans killed lots of people as well. I am a christian but I would never consider one race more aggressive or evil than another..and the movie never made me think twice about that.

[big daddy k de]

i read the bible and i know the story no need to see it

[Skin-and-Bone]

I find it amusing to hear Christians who can't talk about the film without preaching.

I enjoyed the film. Very powerful, like others mentioned. It's worth watching for the torture scene alone. That was brutal. Very well made.

[panabolic]

Just seen it tonight, thumbs up! Great movie although I gotta say it's not what I expected, I thought there would be a lot more of the teachings of Jesus, but after reading through the official website www.thepassionofthechrist.com I understand it now. The movie depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus' life before crusifiction. I wanted to reach through the screen and give a beating to those Romans soldiers!! MAN!! I thought the movie was very good although the beating of the Son of God was just too much, I had to fight back the tears. I think in a movie like this NOT to cry or feel like crying is LESS than human! I am sure the Roman barbarians and Jews that tortured and crucified him are still in Purgatory!! (at least I hope they still are). I actually prefer The Last Temptation of Christ starring Willam Dafoe as Jesus if you're old enough you'll remember the controversy this movie provoked. This movie had a lot more of the teachings of Jesus. The Passion of the Christ is a very good movie and for all you disrespecting idiots out there making immature wisecracks about the movie Shame on YOU!

[Want2GetHuge]

So did you LIKE to see Jesus beaten to close to death?
