Will You see Gibson's "The Passion"?

[Immortal Goat]

Dammit, Max, I wanted to make this thread! Oh, well. Yours is probably better than mine would have been.

I'm not going to see it, and it isn't because I am not Christian, it is because we all know the story.

It has been told over and over again, and the true nature of the story is not the graphic violence involved with Jesus' death, it is the glory of the resurrection that the Christians believe in. If they wanted to make a REALLY interesting movie, then they should have done it from the prespective of someone else. They should have done the story of just a random person back in that historical time and show the effects it had on the family, the town, and politics. I would pay to see that, and as Max pointed out, Jesus' death really wasn't that special. Thousands of other people died like that. It was the supposed resurrection that made him special.
