[QUOTE="TracerBullet42, post: 1479893, member: 11885"] Oh no...does this mean I need to watch Gigli? Gosh,I hope not. If that's the case, I think I'll just never speak of the film again... ;) Regarding "The Passion", my take on it was that it was a powerful film, so long as you know the story already. As previously stated, they didn't "set up" things, I think this movie really assumes that the viewer is familiar with the setting and the story coming in. (Which, isn't a BAD assumption, I think many people ARE familiar with it.) But I'm sure some people are alienated by that fact. I think it was an especially moving movie for Christians, just giving a little extra look at how truly horrifying crucifixtion is... And if I can make just one little comment regarding the "Anti-Semitism" in this film (and if this is inappropriate, mods, I will gladly delete this)... I thought that the film clearly displayed that there was a spiritual battle taking place. I interpreted that the "Satan" character was the one causing the uprisings...He/she was always there in the background when things started heating up. Also, the story of Jesus Christ is that he CAME TO DIE. Nobody's upset that he was killed...that was the plan from the get-go... Ok, I should stop now. (Sorry if that was too religious, but I think I kept it clean enough...) [/QUOTE]
