I highly respect what Mel Gibson has done in this movie and have no doubt that his depiction of the brutality of the crucifixtion is completely accurate, I'm just choosing to not try to watch that at this time. I'm glad he made such a movie and that it's opening up a lot of people's hearts and minds. I'm 14 weeks pg and don't need to spaz out and deliver on the spot!!!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2004 Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 LeAnn, I am exactly the same. I am a dedicated Christian but I don't really choose to see it for the same reasons.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Having seen " Passion " ...I can tell you if you are bothered by violence, blood and/or seeing Jesus as the person on the receiving end...DON'T SEE THIS MOVIE!!! It is extremely brutal and bloody. Especially do not let children see this movie. I think a teenager, who is mature enough, may understand...but then I even wonder about that! If you are Christian and can't grasp just what Jesus did for you, go see this and then increase what He went through because I am sure that they couldn't get everything on screen. It's not a movie that you go for the enjoyment of seeing a movie. It's not for " entertainment " . It's like an intense version of Bible study. It is something that when you are leaving the movie you feel a special reverence that feels more like how one feels upon leaving church. I do highly recommend seeing it, however. If you can handle it. Seeing it or not seeing it doesn't mean anything about your character or your love for Him. For, you can read much of the New Testament and understand the message.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 LeAnn, Very good reason for not going to see it right now!! It will come out in DVD in another year or so -- try it then!! I feel the same way you do. I have watched all of the articles and the controversy, and I do respect Mel Gibson. However, because of my sensitive nature, and the fact that I cry at the drop of the hat at movies, ...i.e. ANY movie; I doubt seriously whether I should even attempt to see such violent scenes as it would probably hurt me too bad emotionally. I know, I'm a wimp!! Love & hugs, PJ LeAnn Kirsch wrote: ine, I'm a strong Christian but am choosing not to see the movie. Not sure if I will in the future but maybe?
