I just wanna see what all the hype is about, I can't stand how everyone is like "Omygod, did you see the passion of christ?..I cried..." It's like argh, shut up! It's even all over the latin radio stations, once that happens you know it's overhyped!

I saw it last night, and truthfully I did not think it would affect me the way it did, I'm not a religious person but I did not stop crying for the last half of the movie.
It made me understand a bit more about what Jesus went through for all of us, It really did, I found it hard to watch at sometimes because the brutality was so shocking …

I saw this movie yesterday night and i seriously did not think it would affect me at all. I went out of the movie with such an effect, i could not believe it. It was so shocking and the brutality of it all was horrifying. My older sister and cousins were crying. I swear, it made me really sad when

Spoiler!

Mary had the flashback of running to Jesus (p.b.u.h) when he was a child and said "I'm Here" but said the same thing again when he was walking with the cross and fell.

I am just so glad i saw this movie.

Alex, go and see the movie and then give your opinion. Stop being skeptical that it will actually affect you.

It's not about the hype. That's not why I went.

I went because it's what I believe in, and once you see this film (which it is more than just a flim, more like an experience) it'll make you rethink your whole life and what you are living for. Are you living for the temporary or the longterm?

I know it's your life, and your choice to see the movie. But please see it, on my asking. Heck, if you lived close enough, I'd pay your way in. It means that much to me for you to go and see it.

And you don't have to downplay it saying you want to know what all the hype is about. It's okay, there are millions who have seen the movie and already changed their lives because of it. And when Easter comes around, I pray that all those that have seen this film will go and spend some time in a church or find someone who knows the love of God. God is real, this movie is only a little bit of a taste of what has happened and what is to come.

It's your decision.

BTW, a little sidenote. The beatings and the gore and the violence just goes to show what Jesus did for all of us, to take away our sin he went through hellfire and brimstone. He didn't have an easy trip to the cross. He took the whole beating, instead of wimping out. Jesus will always be the most attractive Person (though, it's obvious He was more than a person) to me, and nobody could take His place.

Plus, to those that say that Jesus isn't the Son of God - no HUMAN could take that beating. No HUMAN could live for that long and not react with vengence, but ask God to forgive the people giving him the beating. It wasn't once He asked, but repeatedly.

I knew this movie wouldn't let me down, because God is alive and can demonstrate how to make a great movie more than just a movie. He was there, He was on the set. God broke my expectations. That is how He will always do it, especially if something is in His will to happen.

I dont believe he's the son of God yet i don't believe a person can take that kind of beating also. How do you know the movie didn't exagerate what really happened? I'm sure it did. It's a movie, everything isn't accurate as far as details like that go, no one knows how long he was wipped for and with what kinds. Atleast i dont think so. Plus, you dont know whether people can take that kind of beating without taking vengeance. Those are just inferences. Plus, as a Muslim, i have a different believe in Jesus (p.b.u.h) and quite frankly, i just dont understand how he could be the son of god. God shares no powers, he is one.

Well Christians beleive that Jesus is God in human form, that he was born into Jesus. We beleive in the trinity which is -holy Ghost, God, and Jesus, which are all one. I don't beleive a regualar person could take what Jesus did and survive it, while asking God to forgive those who did what they did to him. But the main point for Christians is that Jesus rose, I don't know if thats in the movies or not, but Easter is to celebrate the fact that Jesus rose and lived again. Jesus walked the earth after being on the cross, so that alone would mean he isn't human. People can beleive what they want, but I beleive in God, and everything in the movie is accurate to the bible, which describes what Jesus went through on the cross.

Im gonna go see the movie next weekend, but no matter how realistic it is, it IS a movie and a movie won't change my opinion. I just don't see how a movie about "God" can make people all of a sudden just start believing in him. Okay you see what "he went through", but it's still just a film. But w/e that's just me.

FantaOrSprite

Quite possibly the same way that seeing a paticularly good minister or preacher can cause some to change their life completley.
