Has anyone else seen it? I almost lost my fried rice and I pride myself with being able to take a lot of gore but..
I think there was about 4 or 5 people leaving that were not crying.. the rest were either tearing up or straight out bawling.
Amazing movie.
quote:
At a screening in Wichita, Kansas, a woman in her 50s began having trouble breathing toward the end of the movie and later died, a theater official said."There were several physicians in the audience, and they attended to her until the ambulance arrived," said Ken Crockett, corporate vice president of Warren Theaters. "It was a pretty emotional thing."
An autopsy was planned Thursday to determine the cause of her death, according to the local medical examiner.
Wow...

Elvish Crack Piper painfully thought these words up:

omg you made me choke on my water..
Anyway, that's pretty shocking that a lady died at the theater. She was watching him die, then she went too. Weird.
I am not sure if I want to see the movie. I don't like violent films. I already know the storyline, so I am not sure I want to see it so visually portayed.
As for the anti-Semite thing.. I can't judge it unless I did see it. I do know that the Bible says that the Christians should embrace the Jews as brothers because they were the Chosen ones. If I had to I could find the scripture.
Anyway... it just isn't the type of thing that I would find entertaining, and I am not looking for spiritual guidance right now either. So, I just don't see myself viewing the movie except to dispell any rumor and mistruths.
another 40 million in second week ticket sales.
And the Anti Semite thing... I find highly amusing. They wore prison uniforms in New York, to remind people of the Holocaust...
As if..
1. People forgot about the Holocaust.
2. Mel Gibson had anything to do with Nazi repression of Jews.
3. The bible said something OTHER than "It was the Jews fault"
4. Jesus HIMSELF wasnt a Jew.
5. It would DETER ticket sales.
And of course the pope approves of this film. After all, the Catholic Church uses a Jew nailed to a Cross as its MASCOT. Sure, its not just ANY Jew. And Yes, its the son of God. but you dont see Jews protesting in front of Catholic churches to try and change THAT, now do you?

Maybe it had to with the fact that Mel Gibson's father says that the Holocaust was fake. Though what his father says is irrelevent too.

Yeah....
Cuz ya know.. it was SO easy to fake killing 6 million jews in the early 20th century..

This made me laugh...
I'll probably see it at some point just to see it as a movie.
I dont think Im going to watch it either, Its subtitled isnt it?
Meh.
Im pretty sure I know how it ends

I just now noticed that, after seeing your name for quite a while...
Probably going to go see this with some friends from work, since my parents don't want to go see it (due to violence), looks pretty good as far as I can see.

Because, Elvish Crack Piper... You are a puppet.

You know... Frodo wakes up just before the next generation of Terminators, as deadly as they are sexy, get him. Then, they made it that Samwise becomes a half vampire who, get this twist, hunts vampires.
The vampires, Sauron and the Terminators went and ganged up against the hobbits in a winner-take-all brawl for middle earth. Vin Diesel totally rules as Aragorn. After all, that other guy didn't make it- what's his name? Butch Vigo or something.
But you totally forgot the part where the elven stripper assassin bodyguards destroy the vampires by distracting them with their (_|_) while frodo and the hobbits rally the jedi knights and the rebels for an all out cooking battle, winner takes all!

It's funny when people come to big movies like this 10 minutes before it starts and say "Holy shit, that's my line?"
And I just grin and say "They started lining up more than an hour ago sir, I'm sorry." (Like started in the movie theater, went out to the street, and started wrapping around the theater)
quote:I saw an ad for it about an hour after that. It looked... violent. I briefly considered that the people who wrote it might have tried to immitate Gladiator, only without the creativity.
Parent: Have you heard about the new movie starring Mel Gibson? Was anyone at work talking about it?
Me: You know how I am with names. What was he in?
Parent: Some cop movie with Danny Glover
Me: Lethal Weapon?
Parent: Yeah.
Me: Nobody at work has mentioned it. Haven't seen any ads either.
Parent: Well, they were probably working, but some of them may go see it tonight. They may be talking about it tomorrow.
Me: Oh-kay...
Parent: It's supposed to be a movie about the last twelve hours of Jesus's life. It's a very anti-semetic movie. There's a lot of violence in it.
Me: Well, this is the first I've heard of it.
Parent: It's playing in theatres around the country right now.
Me (repeating): Well, this is the first I've heard of it.
I figure I'll wait for a while, hear what people think of it, then not rent it when it comes out on video.
Looking at the content, you're really going to come out of this movie in three pools; Christian viewer, Jewish viewer, or other. For Christians, its a very emotional piece relating to the core of your belief. Most Christians aren't going to be able to spot some of the inaccurate parts though, which leads to problems relating to the next viewers. For Jewish viewers, you're going to feel that there was anti-Semitism in the movie, which mainly comes from how they dealt with Barbaras in the film. Mel Gibson's bias shows through to an extent here, but not as greatly so as the news segments would have you believe. Other viewers won't really "get it", but can appreciate how well the movie is done from a film critic's point of view that is impossible for the other two types of viewers.

Eh, technically it really depends on how you look at it. A crowd of Jews picked to free Barabas (yes I mispelled it in the last post) over Jesus. This was because Jesus was just another prophet at the time, while Barabas was one of the leaders of the Jewish rebellion against the Jews. The Catholic Church says its not the fault of the Jews, but some sects semi-ignore this. So thecnically, its possible to take that from the Bible.
I keep wanting to spell it cruxified.
But as I know humanity as I know it, as I know that a man, or woman can be more cruel that anydevil spawn.
At the end, the movie must be neer the reality of life, as scary that might be.
Faith is something of the soul.

Faelynn LeAndris had this to say about Knight Rider:
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name

Sympathy for the DevilPlease allow me to introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
Ive been around for a long, long year
Stole many a mans soul and faith
And I was round when jesus christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game
I stuck around st. petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah
I watched with glee
While your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades
For the gods they made
I shouted out,
Who killed the kennedys?
When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down
Woo, who
Oh yeah, get on down
Oh yeah

Maybe they're worried about political feeling against Israel or some other ridiculous nonsense. Damned if I know. Its not like you're going to have the Jewish community up in arms and running around yelling "DEFAMATION OF CHARACTER AND STEREOTYPING OMGWTFBBQ". After all, its a historical fact.
I don't know if I want to go see it myself as I've also heard that its incredibly graphic. The sickening part is that some parents are taking their children to see this. >_< Its bad enough reading about it; seeing it is pretty much guaranteed to have about a thousand times as much of an impact, and while that could be considered a good thing, its not something I'd want anyone under the age of sixteen to experience.
White guys get portrayed as doing bad stuff all the time in movies, but we don't consider that racist, because the story is set in america or whatever and the majority of people there are white. The story is set in Jeruslam. Sorry about your luck Jewish people. Get over it. Maybe if they brought a rich white guy in and had him condemn Jesus it would be more PC for you.
It's the way it fucking happened. Get over it.
