[MrVicchio]

[Setari]

[mechaman]

I have no clue what you are talking about

[Derfud]

Ehh, not likely. I dont really have anything against it, but I dont really want to see it especially.

Its Gibson's new flick. Got a lot of buzz, I am gonna go see it for sure, shows the last 12 hours or so of Jesus Christs life before the ressurection. Based on teh Gospels, lot of controversy over it.

i probably won't but i may when its out on video

[Happy lil Elf]

I honestly couldn't care less about the "true" story of Christ. I don't care about the fake stories of Christ why the hell would I want to see the supposedly true one?

Bleh. I'll probably end up seeing it DVD if anything.

Meh... im not a very religious person. Infact im not religious at all. I just whore off the religions and celebrate christmas, and had easter when I was younger, and not go to church or anything. I guess that makes me an atheis (don't know how to spell it).

Errrr... anyways I'll only see it if I have to. I may end up watching it at home when its released on DVD.

Apparently the Pope saw it and said he liked it.

Atheist I think. Welcome to the club brother I Hate Pants. Although that sounds religious.

Atheism is basically stating that there is no higher power, no higher authority at all, that you believe in nothing but this life and what we see now. Agnostic (as commonly accepted) is basically saying you aren't sure, that you reserve judgement. I could be wrong but from what you're saying it seems you lean more toward agnostic than atheist, although atheist just kind of seems to be a term many latch on to.

I'm sure I'll see it, it's piqued my curiosity on a few levels. I give Mel credit for making a film in a dead language, and for his passion to put a film out which obviously won't go over well with a number of different groups. Unfortunately, any time any film with religion as the centerpiece is made it's bound to leave us with pathetic groups trying to get some camera time. We saw it with Dogma, we saw it with Last Temptation of Christ, we're seeing it with this. Too many people with an agenda who are wanting to piggy back the publicity of the film to force their views on the rest of us.

not the kind of movie I go to the movies to watch. I don't understand why there would be controversy over it though. I mean they've made everything into a movie so why not the Bible.

[MrVicchio]

Its not the bible, just the last hours of Christ. And its the **** that are screaming about it, saying this flick will lead to anti-*** violence.

They themselves contribute the majoirty cause that leads to the anti-*** violence, not movies. I read about that movie in some magazine, some rabi's approved of the movie and thought it portrayed the **** like they would have been at the time.

[Smaug]

I'll probably go see it. Mostly for the history, I love history, especially that time period. Probably not going to be extremely accurate but its ok, better than most of the crap movies that come out nowadays. First heard about it on cnn, they had a little debate with a rabbi and some other guy. The rabbi says that the **** were portrayed too violently. Like was said, thats pretty much how people were back then. I doubt there will be mass anti-semitism or anything because of it.

[Indecisive]

Might be dragged to it. I dont watch many movies.
