Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

You can't win when you make a movie about Jesus. If you make stuff up in the movie, everyone would be like, "That's not how it happened!" and then they'd protest the movie. But if you tell it like it did happen, everyone protests the movie anyways. That's why I think fundamentalists should just shut the hell up. Because no matter what you do, they'll yell at you.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Who cares... none of us were there to witness what did or did not happen. So how can any of us argue. The records surrounding the events are shady at best (IMO). So why fight? Get some popcorn, watch the movie... and then shoot yourself in the head for wasting your money on this movie when you could be spending it on a beer and slice of pizza...

j/k

You caught me... I added that for effect :D

I'll probobly rent this movie when it comes out.. so me and my friends can MST3K it to our hearts content. lol

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

I'm going to see it with my World Religions class as a field trip.

BTW... the controversy of this move just shows how easily society's opinions can be changed or how they can be offended over something stupid like a movie. IMO, that's kind of sad. Movies and music have too much control over what people do and think.

well in effect you're right...but not really :D

the letters in the torah are yud hay vav hay, or yhvh...and i guess it got americanized into jhwh or jhvh..and i think thats how Jehova's witnesses got their name.

but the word is structured in hebrew without any vowels and in a way such that it indicates no gender. so it could be yah way or yehweeh or anything like that

I also believe that a common practice of putting a criminal to death was a public stoning.

Listen, I fear that all people are doing is getting riled up over nothing. The PUBLIC condemned Christ, according to the bible, and the PUBLIC happened to be jewish as there were only 12 Christians in the whole world at that time.

My feeling is that if you are going to get upset over this
movie, and the movie follows the Bible, then you should also get upset over the Bible. Its far easier to condemn a movie rather than a book of faith, now isn't it?

wow i never thought about it that way. i'm just afraid that moviegoers will not take things in context and not see people stoning a criminal, but jews killing jesus.

of course i don't believe in alot of the stuff in christianity, but i really hope i never implied that i wanted to condemn it. my personal belief is that whatever you want to believe that will make you feel spiritually satisfied, and will compell you to behave well on earth, couldn't be bad....as long as you don't hurt others in the process. the threat of this movie turning a story of sacrifice into a problem for jews is what scares me.

also erm...weren't most of the public "pagan" romans?

hey what is the term for the romans' religion anyway? greekism? romanism..? pagan sounds too negative.

movies are today's most popular form of entertainment. a hundred yeras ago when books were one of the most popular ways of spreading ideas, books like Uncle Toms Cabin sparked huge controversy, and noone thinks that that book had"too much control over what people do and think." the pamphlet Common Sense made revolutionaries out of many colonists, but noone thinks its sad that they were incited into discussing the issues.

Did anyone remember in Bruce Almighty when Bruce signed onto "Yahweh"? I thought that was a pretty good reference. :)

I saw that, and I was one of the few in the theater who laughed.

Nope. You have to remember that the Romans were conquerors and government officials. One of the reasons why the Romans were so good at maintaining such a large empire is that they learned to not attempt to impose their religious beliefs on others. Those that were Romans at that time in that area were soldiers, social elite and officials. The general populace was that of the people who lived there before the Romans came, which would be Jewish.

yeah, that was quite humorous

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Movie opens today. Anybody planning on seeing it?

The only thing that really interests me is the violence, to tell the truth.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

I hope there are a lot of explosions and car chases!

HEY!!! YEAH!!! and dont forget the love scenes

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Oh.. a love scene between Jesus and Mary Magdalene (sp?) would be sweet!! Maybe a scene where Jesus has to supplement his income as a carpenter by stripping at night in the local tavern? He could strip for the locals to Britney's Slave 4 U.

Hmm, I could do worse if you want. :)

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

ok, who has seen the movie:

my initial thoughts. This is the most powerful movie I have ever seen. I didn't think it'd be quite like it was. I figured out what would be the best possible way to make the film, and this was about twice as good. After Jesus died the movie theater was absolutely stunningly silent. Not a cough, not a wimper, not a shuffel. Pefectly quiet. After the movie ended 1/4 left the theater in tears, the other 3/4 stayed at the theater until the last credit rolled. UNTIL THE LAST CREDIT ROLLED! Then they left in tears. Huge powerful amazing movie, go see it no matter what your belief.

:WHOA::WHOA::WHOA::WHOA:

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

wow. I might see it on sunday or something if I can.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Hm sounds good.... I mean... for Christianity and stuff...

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

I can't wait to see it. Not sure when I will be able to but I'll see it in one way or another.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Maybe they should do Passion of Joan Arc too...

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

or The Passion of Moses

Truuuue... but it wasn't the last 12 gruelling hours of Joan of Arc's life.... it was more of a glimpse at her entire life. I thought Milla Jovovich was great in that movie.

Ohh... what about the Passion of Noahs Arc!!! That would be awesome!! I want to see how they got all those animals on the boat, and kept them alive for a month!!!

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

AND THE WHOLE FLOOD EPISODE ON THAT,

and that would rule

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Or... Passion of Adam and Eve.. I want to know what TRULY happened. Hopefully Mel Gibson can have a vision for that film too!

Hmm, that would be pretty hot...It might be rated NC-17 though.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

Rottwylor stop joking about it. I'm not offenced, but it's just annoyingly dumb.

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

:shakehead

Look at all these movie ideas.
Now, we have become a spiritual and intellectual goldmine.

cool... you made up your own word "offenced" + rep

psst... it's "offended"

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

What about an FPS based on the movie Passion of Jesus Christ. It could be an exclusive for Nintendo! I bet it would be better than Charlies Angels or T3...

Re: The Passion of Jesus Christ

They can add that to the videogame! An FMV like in Resident Evil!
