I'll see it after my mate pirates me a copy.

Blanco: Would a priest molesting a child be a bigger news story than if a teacher molested a child? I don't know, I'm asking.

"If Jesus actually received the amount of punishment dished out in this film, he would have been dead three times over before arriving at Calvary. "

Just for the record, Max, I doubt the actual historical existence of Jesus too, because both of the extra-Biblical sources referring to him come from later than the Gospels and referred to Christianity as a movement, not to its founder.

According to the media in this town, yes.

I'm not saying one is worse than the other, just that one is getting more attention.

I think its funny how people think Jesus didn't get this much punishment. How do you know? Who here is 2000 years old?

Besides people back then were disturbingly inhumane. Theives got crucified, thats right THEIVES got crucified!

From what heard the movie is actually pretty good. And you guys should throw your whiny liberal media reviews away and just go see besides being all like "its a movie about Jesus how can possibly be any good." Besides why do you think some untalented fuck needs to tell you what movies to watch, especially since movie critics in past have given bad reviews to some of the greatest movies ever made(example -every Stanley Kubrick movie). Dammit.

I'm not going to see it because it's historically inaccurate. Everyone knows that Jesus was black.

I like that people are going to think that this movie is completely historically accurate, not read up on jesus at all afterwords, and assume that everything that gibson's interpertation of the gospels is the one everyone should believe in.

I think that its not gonna be good movie artistaclly speaking. From the few scenes I saw, i didn't find it very appeasing to the eye. After all it is a movie,

Another thing thats gonna keep my away from the movie is people crying. I find it annoying that people cry over things that happened 2000 years ago, and was for all intesive purposes destined to happen. They remind me of the sheaite(sp?) muslims, that cry over death of muslims hundreds of years ago and are perfectly fine the next second, and weep like crazy at the grave of our prophet. :/

edit: the discovery channel special pretty clearly said that he was brown, boogie

Hey, I didn't know the whole movie was in the (more or less) authentic languages. Cool.

It turns out I am going to see this film now, but by the time I do everyone will be finshed talking about it and Lord of the Rings II will be the talk of the boards.

What is it rated in the US btw? 15+, 18+ etc


I worded that last question wrong, Blanco: wich one is more interesting and more likely to sell papers / get ratings?

I saw it. Very brutal. First time in a movie the entire crowd actually turned their heads at scenes. Still, I thought the camera's use of angles and tracking shots blocked out much of it.

It's brutal in two ways. Primarily, the one being that the violence isn't "horror movie" violence, and is made to look quite realistic. The other being it actually happened to a real person.

Overall, I thought the movie was good, but it could have been a lot better. Some of the details I didn't particularly like (like Judas being haunted by demons) and I felt detracted from the story a bit. The relationship between Jesus and Mary is played out to be a very strong and intimate one, which I thought really, really helped the movie. The other qualm I had was the sheer humanity of Jesus. He was human, yet was regardless the Son of God. I felt that in points in the movie it took almost a Book of Job-esque approach, placing Jesus into the role of an unknowing, reluctant man punished by an angry God. While I thought the humanity of Jesus would be emphasized, I thought it was done a bit too much. Also, I think Gibson should have focused on historical fact instead of merely improvising scenes. I'm not a Biblical scholar, so I wouldn't know, but there were scenes and anachronisms which I didn't think fit quite well at the time.

I could also see how some would view this as anti-Semetic. The Jewish priests and their followers are a rily, evil, and ugly bunch. They come complete with bad teeth and hideous laughter to boot. They are relentless in their pursuit of Jesus' crucifixtion, even though they have no moral ground to stand on. Apparently Gibson revels in the farce of poking fun at the mob, mercilessly portraying them as a gang of thugs and henchmen. To be fair, however, there are Jewish people within the movie who show sympathy for Jesus, and who go out of their way to help him.

Overall, great film. But be cautious of the violence. It gets pretty bad at parts.

...historical fact...

The Gospels don't even agree on the "facts," so while Mr. Gibson may have made some stuff up I wouldn't be picking on him for historical accuracy. Pick on him for not following the book, instead.
