I'm watching an interview with Mad Max himself on ABC, speaking with Diane Sawyer. Looks really fascinating. If nothing else, it's a beautifully and brutally filmed movie. The hype and controversy is going to guarantee it's going to some kind of twisted smash. But aside from that, who knows? What's your take on this one? I can't decide... even if it's a masterpiece, it's going to be ripped to shreds. At least Jim Caviezel was a good choice for Geez. |

heheh, I don't care to see it, but sounds good for some people I suppose |
||||||||
|
|

|

I wouldn't mind seeing it. |

hey what are those forks called with two prongs? fontune forks? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i will see it |
||||||||
|

crazy fundamentalist christian i work with has a stupid little promo taped on his desk. I will not see it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think I'll go see it. I'm curious what kinda spin old Gibby puts on the story. I don't get the impression that this is any kind of fundamentalist evangelism tool at all, which would be very refreshing if that's truly the case. |
||||||||

i'm gonna see it opening day. while wearing one of my marilyn manson shirts. just to give each side a chance to influence. |

Tuning forks? The ones used for tuning a piano? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I think it will be interesting to really see what happened instead of listening to the tabloid media's view of Jesus. |

The choreographed ''falls'' when he's carrying the cross are dang near ballet. But I like it a lot. |
||||||||
|

Fondue forks! Sounds like he did a good job, with latin and hebrew, I like authentic languages. |
||||||||
|

|
|
is it the passion of THE christ? Or the passion of christ? Sounds better without the the yeh? |
||||||||
|

"The Passion Fruit of Jebus" would have been better. A story of a passion fruit who was eaten to get rid of the sins of the world. |
||||||||
|
|

the passion of the christ, i guess there were legal issues with 'the passion of christ' due to someone else holding the trademark/copyright/whatever |

im actually quite excited to see a semi-decent depiction of this particular sequence of events. bout time it gets told right. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, everyone will get to see what those fucking jews did to our Jesus H. |

There's some rumours going around that the film is overly anti-semitic... but William Wallace denies it. And apparently the film lacks context, and Riggs himself admits it. As in, it doesn't do a good job at depicting just WHY Jesus was being punished. So I'm wary about the actual historical accuracy... but anyone can argue about the history 'till the cows come home no matter WHAT you put on screen. |

I don't beleive anything anyway. Everything is a lie until proved otherwise. So I will be at the pearly gates looking the dude in the eye before I accept it. |

This movie looks numbingly boring and literal-minded. They should have set it in WWII with Germans instead of Romans, and Bill Murray as Jesus. |

william wallace? i wonder if you mean randall wallace? oh wait, you're being funny, huh? you're talking about gibson.. yeah, sorry, anyway... i've been interested in this since i first heard about it back in the day. from a purely cinematic standpoint. the original plan was to have no dubbing and no subtitles, i hope they stick to that. also i like that cavaziel guy, so.. |
||||||||

Hahaaah |

Bill would make a great Jesus. |

The reviews for this (IMDB) by the people that saw the advanced screenings have been uniformly glowing, blindingly so. Except for one guy who thought it was just an exercise in shock and violence. Probably just a nancie-boy anyway. |

i just hope danny glover makes an appearance at the end of the movie. saving mel right before he gets crucified which cue's for random fuel truck to explode from underneath shooting it vertically into the air. |

50 Cent should have been Jesus and he could go around bragging how the Romans speared him in the face 9 times (not in the gay way). Then instead of being cucified he could have entered a battle rap tornament and lost out to the evil white boy, played by Eminem. |

i'd like to see it. wonder if it'll be aired in ireland, and what kind of effect its going to have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm glad this is here cause I was gonna make a thread Is there or is there not going to be subtitles? I've seen two trailers now, one with and one without |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whether you believe or not (and i personally don't) its a powerful story if told right. im interested to see this version - looks a little less straightlaced+cleancut than previous attempts. theres no point dressing it up nicely, the passion of christ was a pretty gruesome chain of events. im glad gibson has finally found a distributor for it. he finished it ages ago, but no one would touch it (primarily because its all spoken in old aramaeic).. saw the trailer at the cinema the other day, they seem to be trying to sell it in an overemotive, glossy way.. which i personally dont think they need to. but i guess after shelving the film for this long, gibson's not going to rock the boat. he'd probably let them market it any way they want, so long as it gets released. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

subtitles all the way through as i understand it. |
||||||||
|
|

i liked his argument about how this movie promotes anti-semitism. "if you were to censor any movie that depicts one peer group against another, then why would we even air any of it?" |
||||||||

i watched the interview last night as well. i gotta say that melford came off as a bit of a zealot to me. a skosh self righteous. and, as ophecks mentioned, even mel admited that it was lacking context. just seems to me that the why is excedingly important to the story. jesus had a very powerful message, that was threatening to the estabilshed powers, and he was (apperantly) really good at spreading that message. that is why he was so powerful, and why he was killed. it kinda sounds like mel left that almost completely out of his telling of the story. of course, i haven't seen the movie. it may rock my lederhosen off, and cause me to stop worshiping the darklords. |

is the controversy enough to get you to watch it? |

mel gib-sohn mehl geeb soohn yeah crucify the sum bitch |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meh... i'm not too excited about it. i'm kinda thinking instead of attempting to be an accurate retelling of historical events; it's going to be one zealot's self-indulgent attempt at making himself feel more important. and, it'll end up being a huge jesus pity party, and a pep rally for religious right-wingers. but, if folks have interesting things to say about it after they've seen it i might go. |

They best not skimp on the crucifixion! |

I will see it but I dont expect it to be good |
||||||||
|

I bet a great double feature would be Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" followed verily by Monty Python's "The Life of Brian." |
||||||||
|
|

Fuck this, i'm waiting for: THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST II: NOW IT'S PERSONAL |

what a shitty movie dont pay for this |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

that movie SUCKS!!!! the passion of the christ is SHIT. <---- see: my avatar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

It's a disgusting, cynical, gratuitous piece of shit. Mel Gibson's a cunt. It's called the Passion of the Christ, yet it shows none of the passion. As far as I can see it's all about Mel Gibson getting off on how Jesus was tortured and trying to win an award for playing a pained, misunderstood victim. Incidentally, I hate religion too, so it's not because I love God or Jesus or anything. I respect Jesus about two hundred times more than I respect Mel Gibson though. In conclusion: Suck my whanger. |

sad you cannot accept anything in life, until it is physically proven. you must live a boring life You sound like a Lord of the Rings, sandle wearing, yogurt fancier. Go and play with your pan pipes and leave the world alone. |

"It's called the Passion of the Christ, yet it shows none of the passion." ..? that's what this particular story is called. passion of christ: "The sufferings of Jesus in the period following the Last Supper and including the Crucifixion, as related in the New Testament.". it has little to do with the literal meaning of the word 'passion'. that said, I'll be damned if I'm going to see this. sounds completely awful + boring. and it's based on the New Testament, which is seen by some more as propaganda than a real telling of events. |
