The Passion of the Christ (2004, R)
This movie was wrong for so many reasons. Next time someone makes a movie like this perhaps they would like to consult a theologian or biblical scholar or, I don't know, READ THE BIBLE! I could go on for pages about the problems with this movie, the most important being the lack of resurrection emphasis for a movie that claims to find its purpose in evangelism. With all my Christian issues aside, this movie can't even stand on its own artistically. |
