i felt it was authentic, true, beautiful.

The movie isnt about suffering. Its about a perfect love so strong, it could bring a grown man to his knees. Jesus was crucified for our SALVATION. I dont know about you but im sure glad he did. For now i have a chance to live in the kingdom of heaven.

The movie has such violent scenes because I believe that someone (Mel Gibson) finally had the balls to portray the real suffering of Christ. I think its a good way to wake up Christians and show them what was done for them so we can truly appriciate the gift we were given. Yes it is not a good movie to show children of course (as I believe the rating reflexs- its rated R hello!) The Passion is the suffering of Jesus Christ, so don’t be surprised that you saw suffering.

if just to see how crazy and biased most of the christian world is.

This isn’t a movie, it’s a snuff film. I’ve seen less suffering in a German porn. Faces Of Death was less graphic than this. It should be classified as a horror movie, because I’d sooner let a child watch Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Hellraiser — back to back — before I’d let a child watch this sick excuse for a film. If Mel wanted to spread the word of his religion, he could have spent less time on the graphic violence and more time on the message of love.

i don’t like movies where i have to read the screen so i kept putting it off. actually really liked it. thought the actors did really well with learning aramaic. brutal, made me gasp. i like when movies move me.
