She really reminds me a lot of Carly Patterson.

I think it would have been better to have a movie about the great things Jesus did instead of how he died. But that's just me.

I think I remember seeing an interview with Jim cazawhosits, where he said he really got hit by one of those cat-o-nine tails things. Said something about wanted to end the take, but wasn't able to speak. Did anyone else see this interview, or did I just make it up in my mind?

P.S. I was under the impression that the movie was supposed to show what Jesus endured for us. The amount of love it took to commit this act, knowing what was going to happen. The effect was lost on me though. I'm too much of a realist. Intead of being picturing Jesus on a hill, dying a painful death. I just picture what would be seen if the camera moved 90 degrees to the left...a bunch of crew members sitting around, smoking, wondering when lunch break was.

What no bloopers? No deleted scenes? I think one time in the theater is good enough for me..

I saw it once in theatres. The only good thing about the movie was that androgenous Satan guy.
Seriously... what was up with him popping up in every scene??
Reminded me of P Diddy showing up in every rap video to say "Uh huh.. uh huh..". :huh:

Hey guys ... is it true that "The Passion" isn't in english? I mean, I wanna see it, but I don't know if I could take 3 hours of reading subtitles.

on a whim, i decided to google <a href='http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=I ... +subtitles' target='_blank'>"americans hate subtitles"</a> and i was amused by some of the results and excerpts (some of which actually referring to the passion):

... ancient language. Considering how much Americans hate subtitles I am a little
surprised it has made so much money.

... 1. Americans hate foreign films. We hate subtitles. We simply won’t watch
a film with subtitles.

... Put simply, American film audiences hate subtitles. They loathe them.
They would rather not see a four-star motion picture than ...

... Americans seem to hate subtitles more than films that are in other languages...

... North Americans hate to read a movie, and that's a shame.

and yes, the movie is entirely in aramaic/latin

I have one bad thing and one good thing to say about "The Passion."

The Bad Thing: Since I grew up in a Christian home this movie made me feel really bad about what a dick I am, about how much porn I check out, and about all the girls I've had sex with. I guess that was Mel's point though. Whatever.

The Good Thing: Believe it or not the movie reminded me of a porno. It had bad/low lighting. There were extreme closeups, slow-motion money shots, and tight frame facial contortions.

But all joking aside...this movie elicited quite a response out of me. I don't think I'll watch it again. One time in the theater was enough for me.

They do not speak much so reading is not a huge issue. The dialogue is unimportant because the mise en scène (what is actually on the screen) speaks for its self.

Ummmmm, he saved a couple people in his life. He did a couple things for a couple people. He protested. He never broke a sin. That would make a pretty boring movie pal. What he did for us, was died the most cruel way imaginable so that we can sin. He sacrificed himself to save us. That's what he did.

Luk 22:44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

There is actually a disease (sorry, I don't have a link) where someone get's so extremely stressed out that his capilaries start to break down. At this time, he would literally sweat blood, and his skin would become extremely sensitive, as if severly sunburned.

After seeing what happens to Christ, being whipped, beaten, stabbed in the head with thorns, and being forced to carry his own cross up to Calvalry hill, I doubt that you nor I could even imagine what Christ was going through. Remember that through all this, his skin felt like it was on fire, due to the sunburn type disease.

After this, he is put up on the cross in a position where his shoulders would be instantly dislocated. Every breath he would have taken would have required him lifting himself up, because you can't breathe in while you're shoulders are pushing your diaphram down. So every time he wanted a breath, he would have to pop his shoulders into place, take a no doubt hurtful breath, then drop down, dislocating his shoulders and putting all of his weight back once again onto his feet (which had nails through them).

Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The reason why Christ's death was so bad was because he didn't deserve it. When man first sinned in the Garden of Eden, he brought death, pain, famine, etc. upon himself. If Christ had lived in the Garden, he would not have brought sin into the world, but he lived when it was already there, and therefore had to suffer consequences he didn't deserve.

Listen here you stright edge christ core mother fucker! Do you know how many people per fucking day sufferd the exact same death? Cruxifiction was the most popular form of execution in those times. Go and quote your fucking horse shit bible frases somewhere else. The new testament is entirely fucking bull shit any ways. If you want some spiritual help go to <a href='http://www.surya.org' target='_blank'>llama surya das's web site</a> and purchase one of his "good books" christiantiy in all forms is the stupidest fucking thing to ever curse the earth!

Listen, I am no Christian fanatic and I appreciate people that critique the major faiths of the world...but please, for all of our sakes, get your shit straight before you throw it out there like a damn caged monkey.

Jesus (according to the New Testament) didn't have a girlfriend and since you are referring to Mary Magdalene (I presume) you might find it interesting to note that the New Testament never refers to her as a whore, harlot, or prostitute (one of the early popes did). Also, Jesus got angry at the financial abuse of the temple, not the synagogue. That's a huge difference but it is nice that you have learned phonics (sin-i-gog; thats some funny shit). Oh and Jesus was stabbed and water and blood poured out so his death was "such a fucking sacrifice" by your own terms.

All that aside, you do get two things right...Jesus was a rebel and most Christians are way too damn 'holier than thou.'

For the good things I commend you. For the dumbass ones...well you make me sad to be called a human...
