''You are My friends. There is no greater love than for a man to lay down his life for his friends. I cannot be with you much longer, My friends. You cannot go where I am going. My commandment to you after I am gone is this: Love one another. As I have loved you, so love one a...( read more)
I know as a Catholic the violence is necessary. But there aren't enough of those wonderful, emotional moments in the film to show non-Christians that it's necessary.
Maybe I've seen too many horror movies or too many Quentin Tarantino films, but I didn't find this movie overly gruesome as some have warned. Was it too gruesome for a child or a squeamish female? Well probably....
But anyways, what I loved most about this movie was how it was...( read more)
i saw a bit of this. Truly horrific. Although I can see what Mel Gibson was trying to get across, I would have prefered the parts of Jesus' life that were good also displayed in this film, to prevent it from becoming an endless torture movie. Difficilult to watch I think for anyb...( read more)
Gibson ultimately seems to be preaching to the choir, rejecting standard storytelling conventions such as introducing his characters, assuming his audience already knows everything he's about to tell us. full review
Despite controversies swirling around the movie, one cannot deny that Gibson has made a stunning film, beautifully photographed in contrasting dark and golden hues by Caleb Deschanel. full review
This is a two-hour-and- six-minute snuff movie -- The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre -- that thinks it's an act of faith. full review
The Passion of the Christ is so relentlessly focused on the savagery of Jesus' final hours that this film seems to arise less from love than from wrath, and to succeed more in assaulting the spirit th... full review
I was moved by the depth of feeling, by the skill of the actors and technicians, by their desire to see this project through no matter what. full review
The Passion of the Christ is powerfully moving and fanatically obtuse in equal doses. full review
This movie should be titled THE CHRIST WE WISH HE WAS. Lot of lies in it. I'm so tired of the world portraying Jesus as a caucasion. The same ppl that claim to love their beloved Bible won't even tell the truth...Why does it matter? Black ppl (especially children) already see themselves as outcast's (and thats an understatement), and the man that ppl say to be so great has blond hair and blue eyes. They never see a positive black man and when they do the media portrays him as a bad man. It specifically says in the Bible (YOUR BIBLE) that Jesus had hair like lambs wool and feet like BURNT BRASS. lambs wool=that thick nappy stuff and burnt brass? Well a penny is brass, so every1 do urselfs a favor and burn it. Not even a tanned Arab, Jew, Caucasion or any other European can be that dark. My complection maybe? Man I love me.
i love this movie it is showing how much god loves and cares for u he would died on a cross for you because he loves you and you can feel and see that in this movie he died for your sin that u have done your doing and what you r going to do so love this movie and i will tell you this you will cry but u feel it that is why you cry because of the movie because you love him and he loves you .
This film will make you think - dont watch it if your upset by the violence - its there to tell the greatest story ever - sad thing is it was not a story.
1 Corthians 15:55- Where O death is your victory, where o death is your sting. When Paul preached that He meant that for us to. Death has no victory over us unless we let death. We are the ones at the end screaming Jesus! Let it be that in everything yo, let the praises ring!
really good movie-makes you really think and makes other people think as well
My heart was built hard but it melted when i watched & reflected the way of the cross.. . no man can ever had the burden he accepted from the Father!
Jesus will always be my Hero, my Lord & my God.. . forever & ever.
