paulli75 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 It's not really a let down! If you really know your christian history then you would see that Mel Gibson basically hit the nail(exscuse the pun!) on the head with this film. It's as close to the real truth as anything else thats been portrayed & depicted.The fact of the movie been filmed totally in Aramiac,the ancient language used in Jesus time was also powerful as it gave a true insight into the way they were! Mel Gibson was also trying to show & prove that it was Jesus' own people The Jews that wanted him Crucified,not the Romans! Remember Pontious Pilate could not find him guilty of any crime,therefore,washed his hands of him & left it to the people,the Jews to decide what to do with him! Myself being a Catholic I totally understand this film & know where it's coming from. I do admit there are some pretty horrific & graphic scenes in it. I had to turn away a few times!
allibaz91 Posted April 7, 2007 Report Posted April 7, 2007 ^ Shan, be content with our spamming on fys and here and bebo, for the love of!! Paulli, I do know my history, as it happens, and I'm not denying that the film covered points well or whatever, but it was built up to be something completely different than what it turned out to be, IMO. That's just my personal opinion anyway!
Traceve Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 We ended up spamming Bebo, and that is a first for us!
Marieh Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 They aired "Passion of the Christ" on TV here as well. Not sure I'd classify as a Christian movie... And apparently there are so many flaws in it. Haven't seen it myself, though. I don't want to do that to myself. They called it "boring with alot of blood"
Frankie Posted April 8, 2007 Report Posted April 8, 2007 As a jew I found the inherent anti semitism rather obnoxious. I do get tired of the "you killed our lord" insults...which are still today hurled at jews the world over...Mel Gibson has been accused of this before and since...that is of anti semetism. I think this film potentially plays into the hands of those people. ...i.e. racists. That aside..it was a powerful film, very graphic, and very well made, and I think it has some artistic merit. I think I prefer to see it as showing that human beings are pretty horrible to each other rather than as the jews per se were at fault. It could so easily happen in any community anywhere in the world..in fact...sadly it does...human beings the world over are still happy to sacrifice their fellow human beings for their own selfish ends. Nothing changes does it. That is the scary thing.
