[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

That's a good question. It really was a work of art, and I think non-Christian you would have appreciated that aspect of it. You probably like Handel's Messiah just because it is beautiful music. Or Michelangelo's David, or things such as that. The Passion of the Christ was art at that level. Seriously. It was beautiful, whether it has religious significance or not. And it is educational to those who maybe understand little about the Christian message or redemption. So yes. I think you might enjoy it.

That's probably why it got nominated for best cimematography.

If you look at any of the "ART" films with subtitle and excellent cinematography it truly fits in that category.....The tree nominations: cinematography, makeup and original score....would reinforce that premise.

Isn't it ironic that it is nominated for original score when the text is not in English, is from the bible, and the music is so indicative of the emotions of the plot and like a fine opera is crucial in telling the story.
