Well done film. I regret not taking my children. I will see it again next week with them. There is much worst sceenes on regular televison these days. With proper guidance children should see this film.
We need to learn from this horrific experience. All other religeous films did not truly convey the horrific meanning of Jesus`s sacrifice for us. This is an excellent work of art written by the apostles. Thanks Mel for bringing us a visual account of Jesus last 12 hours.
to love jesus is to love jews
I went in expecting to cover my eyes the whole time. Amazingly, I had to watch and I did not get all disturbed as I do with other films such has Saving Private Ryan. I started thinking, would I be able to watch my son be whipped, hit, kick, spit on, and cruxified? I don`t think I would be a good loving mother if I was not there to be with him throught his pain. Poor Poor Mariam. For the first time I understood the meaning of love and not being able to do anything about it. Bless us all.
Wow, i`ve never been in a theatre that quiet, the movie was increadible. ITs surely a must see non matter what your fait is, or lack of one. Its a great movie!!!
Nothing suggests an anti-semiticsim in this film. Jesus did die at the hands of the Romans and in the manner of a Roman execution (the Jews did not have power to crucify). A deal struck between the Jewish leaders and the Roman authorities is what put him to death. Both had a stake in eliminating Jesus` brand of religon: the Jewish leaders had power and status to protect; the Romans were more concerned with law and order. I still love Jews!
EXCELLENT! when is the sequel?????
I`m MUSLIM and to be a muslim we must believe in Jesus. I took my wife and 4 children to see it today without regrets.
Jesus was crucified because he was seen as a threat to the powers at the time. His brand of non-violent resistance, his manner of stirring the people and empowering the poor, were correctly judged to be challenging the political power structures of his day. Jesus was not a Zealot he was sentenced to death by the Romans on the charge of political treason: "He claimed to be King of the Jews".
The negative aspect is the evil that tries to crucify this as being a film about hating jews. SO SO SO WRONG.
