The Passion is a very controversal movie. What do yall think about it

the passion of Christ was a movie made to show what Jesus scraficed on our behalf. (which is the ulimate scarifice ,his life). It showed the most in important lesson Jesus taught, which was his love for all of mankind.

the passion of christ was a beautiful movie and only those who read the bible could understand it. a lot of it was directly from the bible and in actuality the real crucixion was worst.This movie was very touching and it made me realize how much I take life forgranted.This movie proves GOD's love for mankind and I loved it!

the movie follows the gospels. mel gibson as you probably know is a major Roman Catholic. There are somthings that just those cathloics believe in. some of the symbolism and some of the saints are protrayed as more than just that, saints. its more of a catholic movie but non the less a very powerful one.

If you read the gospels you will indeed see that the movie is as it was. If you want a movie about the life of christ, make one yourself. This one is about his suffering and grotesque death that cleans all of mankind from their sin. This is what the movie shows and intended to show.

I am a Christian, is saw the passion. I did not approve of it. It shows the burtality of the crucifiction, is certainly does. Although I am concerned on what I would get out of the movie if I was not a Christian. The movie does not show the teachings of Christ, and it did not show enough of the resurection of Christ. The resurection is what we all show concentrate on, not the crucifiction.

Though Christ's teachings very very important and very useful to get along in human society, Christ's most important message and teaching is the SACRIFICE He gave us by dying on the cross. Jesus had to suffer, die, AND resurrect to save us from our sins. All three had to be completed, and He courageously did that. To focus just on the resurrection and teachings of Christ would be wrong and sappy. We need to fight like "Soldiers of Christ" (as Saint Igatius would say it). We need to understand, realize, and be thankful for what Christ did for us. Remember, He was both FULLY human and FULLY man. He had free will and decided to go through with this agony because His love for us was so strong. This movie depicts Crist's final hours very well and serves its purpose well.

The Passion is as it was and the trueth hurts.

Does it really look like I care? No, I don't. I don't care if I'm 'disrespectful' to him. Hes NEVER done anything good for me and don't even think about trying to convert me to nothing!

i am not christian, but i believe that jesus existed (or a man similar). i believe that he thought himself a messiah or whatever you''ll call it. and i do believe he had such a torterous death.

hahahaha, and the bible provides those hahaha

This movie was base on (mostly) truth. In fact, if ya'll don't believe me read the New Testament books. Those statues w/ a frail-looking Jesus and little trickles of blood are not the true picture of the death of Christ (a.k.a. the Passion of Christ). He died for our sins, but before He died He suffered horribly all for our sins. Talk to people at a Christian and/or Bible church; thet'll tell you all about it. I agree w/ crzyme19, ananariza, and pepsichica17 on many of their ideas; but I strongly disagree w/ librarian and DebAB: ya'll need to get your ideas organized and need to have strong proofs to back them up. Also, would those who post messages about Christ and/or God not cuss or use slang in their message; it is extremely disrespectful to Him and (though you may roll your eyes now) you won't be when you meet Him on Judgement day.

Wow... Ok...Jesus is apparently some guy who was...ah ****, I don't know..ad don't care. Yeah, I saw the movie...pointless. Stupid... that's that. It's a movie...about some 'spirt' ****.. Anyone who disagrees with me....****in bite me

you're all going to hate me for this, but dogma is probably the best description of history around in the form of a movie.

and i never said it wasn't allowed to exist, but i do wonder why this thread is allowed to exist. it's a movie. that's all there is. interpret the thing your own way.

You guys stop being stucking fupid. Obviously, Monty Python's Holy Grail and Dogma are the most accurate biblical movies to date.

Oh, snap! WE ALL GOT SERVED!

Because, librarian, you hooked on to something very crucial in life and debate...if YOU say I'm wrong...well then, I'm just wrong!

Oh, and when did Mel Gibson screenplays become the story of Christ? I thought that was the whole New Testament thingy...

you go away. You think the story of Christ is wrong? Well YOU are wrong.

you think The Passion is not true? You need to re-think all of your veiws.

No, it's not. And please, go away before some poor child stumbles upon your writing and decides to believe it.

I, being a Roman Catholic, support The Passion of The Christ. I personally know that there are several R-rated movies that make me upset or sick to my stomach...that is something that we deal with. The only reason that this particular movie is stirring up so much contraversy is because it is based on religion and people are very sensitive to things like that...I know I am. I say this movie definately has the right to exist, whether or not you choose to see it is totally up to you.
