I went to see Passion on the first day, and If anyone else goes to see it I would be surprised If you do not start crying. I would cautione anyone who is under the age of 13. It is VERY emotional and VIOLENT. If you have seen the movie and would like to talk about publicly or privately you can either post here or PM me.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the message of the movie, but you will not go, "Wow that movie was good. I think I wan't to see it again". It is very violent, but I will never read my Bible the same, or go to church the same after I saw the movie.

I support Mel Gibson about this movie 100%. He is doing what he believes in. God is surely with him. I can't wait to see the movie.

I heard someone died while watching it. This doesnt effect me at all though, I still feel strongly on having an open mind on the entire subject of religion, although I am agnostic. I feel that this is major propaganda, but that is my opinion, and I dont try to make anyone else feel the way I do on this subject.
And if you dont like reading the above paragraph, then just imagine I said this instead:
SHAKA!

I just saw it. As a matter of fact I just came home from the theaters. I am normally very unsensitive to blood and gore like that, and had I not known that it was all true, that it all happened, it wouldn't have affected me all that much. But I went into the theaters being a normal everyday Christian. I left loving Jesus soo much, that I didn't feel like anything that was happening around me was real. I sure as heck was glad that I wasn't driving. What struck me in the heart really hard though, was knowing that this didn't just actually happen, but it happened because of me. Jesus was going through all of that pain and misery, and then some, because he loved me. Because he loved all of us. And I find it absolutely unthinkable and unbelievable that he would go through all of that just to save the very people, the very race that was doing those things to him. It just broke me apart. As much as I tried to hold it in, I simply could not. I just sobbed my heart out.

I want to see it, but every time we go, the theatre is packed, and we can't get in. I'm hoping that my family and I can see it this weekend.

I didn't see it, and I never will.
I don't care to give my money to support the religious sect of which Mel Gibson is a member. This sect, called "The Old Catholics," was too conservative even for the Catholic Church! They object to the reforms of Vatican II, and still subscribe to such doctrine as papal infallibility, ONE path (theirs) to salvation, the blood guilt of the Jewish people, and support the traditional elements of (historical) church dogma that do no justice to Jesus - such as those that devalue women.
Look beyond the media glitz, people, and consider whom or what your money is going to support!!

PFFT, I disagree. I love Mel Gibson . He has heart and he loves God. It does not matter if anyone is Catholic, pentacostal, baptist or any other, believe in the same God.
The movie showed the pain of Jesus when he died. People are just mean saying mean things about this movie.

It matters ALOT. How do you know Mel Gibson has heart - do you know him well? I hadn't realized you were an intimate friend of his. And to the Old Catholics, it DOES matter if you're "Catholic, pentacostal, baptist or any other ..." So your statement is in direct contradiction to what Mel Gibson's group preaches.
God's love is about INclusion, not EXclusion. And ... surprise, rbgirl - according to Mel Gibson's sect's doctrine - YOU are going to Hell.

Hmmm, I was this. It wasn't all that amazing, and I don't think it was interesting, either. Oh well. At least it showed how it truly happend.

LOL, I hate to seem argumentative, but - that's not at all the case. There is NO eyewitness account of the trial or crucifiction of Christ - not one. The film is supposed to be taken straight out of the Gospels; none of the authors of the Gospels ever met Jesus during his lifetime. All four wrote in different time periods; all the Gospels directly contradict each other in a number of ways. So it impossible to understand the Gospels as historical accounts of Christ's life or teaching - and not one of the authors would have been writing for such a purpose.
In other words, WE DON'T KNOW how it truly happened.

That's just my point! I'm pointing out that the religious sect to which Mel Gibson belongs DOES judge you - that's why I don't want to give it any support - I don't think God's love is about people judging other people.

Maybe if you actually saw it instead of judging it by the cover, you'd see that there really is no judgement to any one sect from any one sect. It's just a story.

Im Catholic. So im sick of lex and his/her ridiculous accusations. Oh no! Evil Catholics making a movie!
This was an interesting movie. I knew athiests and or other Religions would be in here to bitch about the movie. Catholics/Christians can't do anything without them bitching. Its a movie based off the Bible. Get over it. Don't like it? don't go see it.

But I haven't said one word - not one word - about the film itself. So how can you say I judged the film by its cover? I clearly said that the reason I didn't go to the film was because I didn't want to give my monetary support to Mel Gibson's cause.
