I was impressed and amazed at the first one.
At the same time, I never wish to see that movie again.
It was that emotionally draining for me.
Once is more than enough.
I have little use for a second one, unless there is a different interpretation about a different aspect of the bible.
I watch it every Easter
I haven’t seen it again. I won’t say I never will, but it wasn’t an easy experience.
I was sitting near two college students when I watched it. I was quite a few years their senior.
Partway through the movie I prayed, “Father, is my heart hardened? I’m not moved at all by this.”
A little later in the film I heard a very loud wailing and sobbing. I realized it was me. I bawled off and on through the movie. When the house lights came on, the ushers came in to clean up for the next show, but no one moved. I was blubbering and the college guys were trying to console me. Others were quietly weeping. The ushers stood there, not knowing what to do.
I bought a DVD of The Passion, but I’ve never played it. Maybe I will before The Resurrection comes out.
