The "Best Movie Ever Created" because of its meaning. Passion is a very powerful word, yet word "Crhist" completes its entire definition. JOrge G. Tercero
Everybody should see this movie about Unconditional LOVE. The best movie for our time. It is not about blood and agony, it is not about Jews, Romans ,Christians, it is ONLY about the LOVE of God for us. Thanks you Mel Gibson.
this movie is about JESUS CHRIST- the Son of God who came down from heaven to die on the cross for the forgiveness of sins. it is not anti-semetic, nor does it have some other alterior motive. there`s been too much made of the "gore" and "violence"- it pales in comparison to many other wide release movies out there. it`s purpose is to offer an accurate account of the last hours of Jesus` life on earth and i think it`s done that. as a Christian i am grateful that it was made. it`s a reminder for all Christians that we should try to live our lives focussing on love, forgiveness, humility, sacrifice and honesty. God Willing and God Bless.
To those claiming that the Bible is fiction or cooked up over the years or that the Romans never tortured people you have your heads in the sand. The Catholic version of the Bible was set by the council of Nicaea in 325, where the Catholic Church explicitly stated that no part of the Old Testament - The fundamental of Judiaism - nor the New testament (4 Canon Gospel and following Letters) could be changed as someone suggested. Further more, remember the violence in Gladiator? Torturing people was a means of entertainment by the Empire, and the more gruesome it was the better.
The Passion of the Christ was a tremendously moving picture. Even if you`re not a christian it will still touch you. Although it is very gory, I think that it is necessary in order to get the message across to the viewer that He really did love God and people. In today`s day and age people are educated about the holocaust and such. If you are a racist then maybe you will take this movie as anti-semitic. Basically, who killed Christ then? If Jesus was in Asia at this time then we would be saying it`s anti-asian. It was everybody that killed Jesus.
This movie is a gift from God throgh the fantastic talent he gave Mel Gibson it really shows the Christ , Our Lord is truly a TREMENDOUS LOVER. It was like really being there and you suffer with Him. But at the same time it fills you with joy knownig how much he love you personally and the His incredible triumph over evil. God Bless Mel Gibson he has the love of all his Christian brothers and sisters.
I am a christian and I went for the movie, not because I didn`t know what to expect but to truly see what He went through because of His love for me. I bawled throughout the movie, because the movie did not exaggerate the violence one bit..it stuck to the Bible. I pray with all my heart that people without hope and love will truly know that the only one who will truly love them is Jesus.This is an excellent movie!!
A moving Icon intelligently and openly depicting this pivotal event in human history. An experience rather than merely a movie. An experience that, if intelligently and openly received, artistically and effectively engages the viewer with the truly radical sacrifice of He who is Love for all men in a sin filled world.
A must watch movie, disregard you are a believer or not...You will for sure be touched and learn what "LOVE" truly means.
thought your article was great. I agree that most Christians are not going to leave Passion blaming Jews for Jesus` death any more than they will blame Romans who sentenced him and carried out the sentence. As a Catholic, I believe that Jesus willingly died for our sins and could have been spared this fate any time if he desired. The story played out the way it was supposed to in my view. I believe most Christians believe the same thing. I really view this as an attack from the secular humanists on the left than as an attack from any particular denomination or ethnic group. I think that they would oppose your conservative Jewish views every
