Neverhoodian Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Dang, that's just sad. Well, I've heard the movie's pretty gory. Definitely not one for the faint of heart. I guess it was just too much for her.
El Sitherino Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Originally posted by Tyrion Very sad, if not a tad bit ironic. ditto.
Surfnshannon Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Man, now I don't want my dad to see it. He has heart problems ... I mean I want him to see it - but I don't want him to die while doing so!

Astrotoy7 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 That is terribly sad. comiserations to her family and friends.... Faith is very close to the heart and soul of many, for those who have a deep love and admiration for Christ, it would be hard not to be affected by the level of violence in the film....

obi Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 That is sad. =( I heard the actor that played Jesus got struck by lightning while making the film, too. o.O

Crazy_dog no.3 Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 That's unfortunate. But really, you shouldn't be going to see intense films like this if you are prone to these things.
Elijah Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Originally posted by IG-64 How was it? Amazing.
ZBomber Posted February 26, 2004 Posted February 26, 2004 Yeh, I can't wait to see the movie. They said on the TV that there are mean, agry people all around, but Jesus always finds one caring person and looks at them. Its pretty interesting on how Mel Gibson turned all this into a movie, adding small details.
Elijah Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 He didnt just show love to the careing people, notice he shows compasion to the people beeting him, he forgives them to.
MennoniteHobbit Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I might see it, but I just wonder if it's worth it... I mean, it's about Jesus and all, but really, do we have to see everything on TV? Looking at a portion of the Bible on TV? Not everything has to be visual... I feel sorry for that lady, lots of movies have too much action for old people... but she was only one person... like ZDawg, said, a bunch of people (elderly) have seen it, nothing was wrong... condolences to her family.
txa1265 Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Originally posted by ZBomber Its pretty interesting on how Mel Gibson turned all this into a movie, adding small details. I think it is more interesting how many in the media have taken Mel's passion (pun intended) that he wrought this film from and started calling him a 'whack job'. Like it or don't like it - he wanted to make this film, supposedly worked hard to make it religiously accurate, and sure enough the anti-religion liberal media equates religious passion with psychosis ...

Mex Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I guess the big guy in the sky hates this film eh?
obi Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 There were actually two stars in this movie that got struck by lightning while working on it. They both survived with no pain or injury. Cool, I think.
jokemaster Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 ^HMMM, a sign? J/K, I want to see it, but my parents say they have to see it first.
Katarn07 Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 This movie is by far the most moving movie I have ever seen. I had tears in my eyes and cringed every time a hand was layed on Jesus. It's one thing to have violence happen to fictional characters, but being a Christian and seeing this just did something to me. I hope more people would see it despite this sad tradgedy. I suppose if you cannot take its violent nature (its rated R for 'sequences of graphic violence' but really it should be R for 'sustained graphic violence'). Looking at a portion of the Bible on TV? Not everything has to be visual... Not true. Reading it can never move you in the way this did. Yes, K07 in the Swamp. Dropped in to see the convo about this excellent movie because I doubt there would be much to discuss at EB....

Neverhoodian Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I've heard mixed reviews. People either love it or hate it. I haven't seen it yet, and I'm not sure if I ever will. I just don't go out and watch many movies. One question about the movie, though. Does the movie cover the Resurrection of Christ as well as His crucifiction? The Resurrection is one of the most important parts of the story of Jesus. (it's why we celebrate Easter, after all)
hgwall44 Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Well first of all i heard that story about the actor playing jesus being struck by lightning and surviving with no injury. I really hope alot of people go to see this movie and will realize god loves them and that they need to follow christ to get to heaven. I hope it does at was intended and breaks the record for sales or whatever its called. I can't wait to see it
