.The Passion of the Christ

Re: .The Passion of the Christ

..ok well i saw it last night. what can i say? you've really got to see it for yourself. the film certainly doesnt explain everything involved, the whos and hows and whys, but it gets the point across. so what else can i say.. its not any information that wasnt there for years previous.. just kind of makes you come to terms with it. i dont think anyone would be disappointed by seeing it.

Did you see Mel in it?Yes you did. He was the hand drawing the line in the sand and a hand holding one of the nails. I've heard! 8)
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

Theres an awesome write up in the new ASC about Passion. Can't believe some of the stuff that happened on that production.

My wife & I, 2 sons and 1 of my 3 daughters are suppose to see it this week when we can all get together. 2 of my daughters have already seen it with friends and one of those friends said the guy who played Christ was struck by lightening TWICE! on the set while he was on the cross I believe I heard. Is this mentioned in that ASC write up? If so, guess that sinks another age old saying, huh?

Re: .The Passion of the Christ

No, my wife and I really do have 5 children... ;D

Oh, you mean about the lightening! ;) I would classify this as a rumor, only because it was told to my daughter and she didn't tell me where her friend heard about it. This is why I was asking Jarrad if this may be some of what he read.

Re: .The Passion of the Christ

its not a rumour.. well kinda he (James Caviezel) was hit once and the Electric was hit once. James Caviezel was even saying how screwed up everything was on Leno.

I dont know, but if I was playing Jesus and I got hit by Lighting I would get the **** out of there really, really fast.
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

Yeah. I'm not sure if i would to actually play Jesus per se.

Or **** that, what about the dude that played Judas! :o
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

...or very cool, depending on how you look at it.
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

..yeah really for example, you could say they were somewhat naivley begging for that cross to get hit by lightning by putting it up in a hill all by itself during a storm, and having it contain metal objects in it, and the fact that the actors life was spared when it was hit is actually pretty amazing. still scary to be there though if i were him.. :)
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

Or how I look at it. Looking at how much Pain and suffering jim had to go throught. Getting hit by the whips. Seperated shoulder. Struck by lightning. You can see that the devil tried very hard to stop this movie from being made.
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

I finally finsihed reading the article in the new ASC.. man they gave me alot of fantastic ideas.
The opening shot was done by using a crane with a platform that the stedicam op actually stood on and started shooting, and then the crane came down and the stedicam steped off and followed Jesus.. all one fluid constant camera move. Brilliant.
 
Re: .The Passion of the Christ

That's the exact same way they did the opening shot for "The Big Bounce" (which I don't think anyone saw). Except, the steadycam operator was in a harness and hooked to a cable that the crane raised and lowered. The problem with this is that he had to be 'unhooked' from the harness before he could continue his movement once he hit the ground. To say the least, the shot had to keep on being redone because they couldn't get him unhooked fast/smoothly enough for the shot to appear seamless. It seems as if they just came up with this idea right before doing it, so it probably wasn't well planned out. BTW, this was the first day of shooting and it seemed like no one knew what they were doing. The 2nd day of shooting was only slightly better, but by then I knew the movie would suck so I stopped hanging around. Tho I did get offered the job of assistant to the DP, Jeffrey Kimball (Top Gun, Jacob's Ladder, Mission Impossible 2, etc.), but that's another story... :)

Exactly. There's more to it than just a chance lightning strike or two... wow how convenient my house just got blasted last night... hmm...

Even if it did blame it 100% on the Jewish population of one town 2,000 years ago, if it's historically accurate, how is that in any way condemnatory of an entire religion?  (Haven't seen it, so I don't actually know what it does.)

biblicy accurate doesn't mean historically accurate. i don't mean to offend those of said religion, i too was raised RC... but as i have not yet seen this movie and don't really plan to, i'm not sure if anything in the bible could be considered 100% historically accurate.
