OT: The Passion of the Christ movie

[Simeron]

As for the movie, I personally found it okay. Nothing super spiritual but also nothing shockingly horrorful. Of course, being a medival and ancient history buff I understood the principle of Roman torture/punishment rather well and being a devote Christian, I understood exactly how horrid the price Jesus paid for me was, at least as much as a man can I suppose.

One thing I thought was very well done was the scenes where Satan was there, whispering. I do think the movie was very well done, well acted and well written and did exactly what Mel Gibson intented for it to do which, personally, I think was to awaken people to the story of Jesus as it pertained to His death and resurrection.

If you are a Christian, I highly recommend you go and see it if for no other reason than to be able to discuss it with knowledge when it inevitably comes up in discussion.

If you are NOT a Christian, I say it would still be a good movie to watch if you wanted to see a well done movie able the death of Jesus as it pertains to the Christian faith.

If you don't really care about Jesus's trial and death as it pertains to the Christian faith then no, I wouldn't recommend going to see it as you will not enjoy it at all as that is the gist of the movie and the crux of the material contained within it.
