Dude, you are pretty up in arms about a movie you have never seen!

Personally, I thought it was a literal take on a very small, brutal part of Christ's life, and it definitely affected me. (The church I worked in at the time happened to meet in a movie theater, and we actually showed the film in place of our Sunday gathering). But once the Mel Gibson stuff hit, I was done with it. He did huge harm to "Christianity" (I use that term broadly) through his hatred. No thanks!

But really, any self-sacrifice in movies gets me. It may be a common trope, but done right, it hits hard.

this movie...........when he finds his daughter.  What a feeling it must be to see your child again, that died along time ago.

Obviously it would be silly not to appreciate a film because the film was not critically acclaimed. But there's a good chance that you won't appreciate a movie for the same reasons that it was critically panned. You see that.

And in any case, the fact that it was so critically panned, the fact that I know personally quite a few people who saw it and told me it was crap, is proof positive that it is not a movie that can be appreciated by everyone. There simply are many people who are unable to appreciate it. Full stop.

I agree 100% with you, which pretty much never happens.  ;)

Also you absolutely have to be religious for something like that to have any effect on you.  If you are a christian then it's your magical savior suffering for your sins, if you aren't it's torture porn similar to the SAW franchise.  Actually it's torture porn either way.  I'm sorry but why would you take a universally awesome person and make a film about the one bad day they had?

Let's put it into some different context:

What if you wanted to make a film about Elvis, but instead of making this grand tale of how he got his start, his music and his adventures you decide to make it a short film about the heart attack he died of on the toilet.  Doesn't that sound like a stupid idea for a movie to you?

Also (and I choke on my own tongue when I say this) pbj is 100% correct as well.  Christians are so hypocritical.  He's the son of god and therefore could have lept off that cross and did a little jig back upstairs anytime he wanted.  Hell his father IS god so if anything, the resurrection story just proves that god is kind of a dick as he could have saved his son from such suffering.  Also he'll go to heaven, so how exactly is it suffering?  Sounds more like a woman losing her virginity to me in that it will hurt now but it will be worth it later. 

Anyway, I'm not trying to get this topic moved, I just find it funny how the religious people, who think there is life after death, are so afraid of death and get so angry and vengeful when someone is killed.  (Religion is the #1 excuse to go to war.)  It might mean, that maybe, just maybe, their faith is a crutch because they are so scared of death and equally so scared of taking responsibility for their killing.

Shouldn't you be updating that wrapper, instead of babbling on about this?   

It would be more productive than posting crap like this. ::)
