December 22, 200322 yr Author And last but not least, I would like to include some excerpts of the latest news on the movie that caused this thread to start... LINK CHRIST IN AGONY A recent viewing of the film's nearly final cut showed why people are reacting so dramatically. It is not just that the Passion was filmed, although the story has long been a delicate subject between Jews and Christians, and among Christians themselves. It's the elaborate rendering of Christ in agony that is at the core of the reactions. Gibson's vision is intensely violent. Scripture discreetly states that Jesus was scourged, spat upon and struck on the head. But the Gospels provide no elaboration on the Romans' abuse of Jesus, which the movie turns into a meditation on human cruelty..... Jesus (Jim Caviezel) is savagely whipped by sadistic Roman soldiers wielding metal chains. Blood splatters and oozes. After the Nazarene is dragged away, mother Mary (Jewish actress Maia Morgenstern, daughter of a Holocaust survivor) stoically mops up the sacred blood from the pavement. This is what has caused so much controversy. The fact that Gibson is showing the death of Jesus so graphically. But the movie also emphasizes the fact that everyone on Jesus' side were also Jewish.... However, there are elements that might assuage some Jewish objections to the movie. All those on Jesus' side were also Jewish, of course, and the film has some reminders. Above all, Gibson's unusual script in Aramaic and Hebrew, with English subtitles, underscores Jesus' Semitic setting. Mary is heard reciting the Passover ritual. Simon of Cyrene, who helps Jesus bear the cross, is identified as Jewish. Finally, this is what Mel Gibson has to say... ''I hope it makes people think,'' he said. ``I hope it makes them reflect. The movie is about faith, hope, love and forgiveness.''
December 22, 200322 yr um.... i am not jewish. :huh Are you a scientologist? *prays for a negative answer* Lord no.
December 22, 200322 yr Author um.... i am not jewish. :huh Are you a scientologist? *prays for a negative answer* Lord no. That is good news ...
December 23, 200322 yr I dunno, I can't wait until schindler's list 2 come out. I just don't get bored of them. um what?
December 23, 200322 yr I like those other movies!!! you "like" Schindler's List? its a great documentary but an awful story(not Schindler but the Holocaust)
December 23, 200322 yr There's no schindler's list 2, i was joking that they make a sequel out of ANYTHING in these modern times. And yes, I like the movie. I like watching history documentaries too. If people don't like watching them, do they HATE watching them? I don't like the holocaust, but I do like learning about history, I am a history major. P.S. Just gloating, got my grades back, I'm a 3.74, yay!
December 23, 200322 yr Like I said. There are people who are anti-semitic. I do not know if Mel's dad was (or is?) but Why is that an issue? If his father was anti-semitic like some say; what does that have to do with Mel? If my father is an a**hole, would that make me one too? I personally think that as there are hard core anti-semitic groups; there are hard core anti-christian Jews. I think they have done their share to fuel anti-semitism by simply denying the facts of the new testament (whether accurate or not, it is the base for the Christian faith). Also, why come out and make such waves, when you know it will only make the movie bigger and a medium for Jewish and Christians to go at it once more... They kind of created the monster they were afraid of to begin with. Now it has become a boxing match between the two faiths and Gibson's movie is only the excuse for both to throw the punches they have been wanting to throw for decades, centuries and milleniums... You mean like Bush. "God Bless us" when hes sending our army to kill others?
