Re: .The Passion of the Christ
Well my wife and I with our 2 sons finally got the chance to see it this past friday night.
For me it was a very moving story about the last day Christ spent on earth. All that went into the making of this film was very believable and very gripping. I could pick-out various depictions of events that were fashioned so-to-speak to extenuate key points in Mel's (or someones) interpretation of these events, but none that in anyway lessened or changed in my mind what actually would have happened based on my understanding of the bible and history.
For my wife, it was all too real. About the time Christ was being beaten, she had to leave. She is so tender hearted, it was just more then she could bare up to.
My 2 sons and I sat and watched... Most of the time white knuckled while we empathized with some of the feelings and torment Christ had to go through. Very heart stirring -- wrenching really. I do appreciate Mel's willingness to put everything on the line in making this movie. I also appreciate his thoughtfulness and insight on how these events would have/could have play out. To me, he had to have a great amount of spiritual insight to bring to the screen so many key points and in a way that almost forced the audience into a decision about how The Son of Man (Christ) understood and accepted his preordained role he must play for all humanity.
For any who are sitting on the fence, you really need to consider seeing this picture. It is by far the best ever made to show the most important event in all history. Whether or not your can believe it is not the point, so much as it is what most of humanity has and will continue to believe. As this picture serves to portray these beliefs so well, everyone would have a much better understanding of why these beliefs exist and must continue to do so.

Kind of like when you're at an Xl1 showcase?
