My sister just called me and said she just got home from seeing this movie, through her tears, she said "The Passion of the Christ" will change the world. She said when it was over, nobody got up from their seats and most were crying. She said it is a must see everyone who believes in Jesus . I am going to see if I can get tickets now

I'm saying this with a touch of sarcasm, BUT if this movie is going to change the world, we should begin seeing a difference in about 30 days.

My guess is most of the seats being sold, at least now, are to believers or practioners of faith anyway. They would likely be moved no matter what the message as long as it's Christ centered.

It's one thing to be moved emotionally and from what I've read and heard, this is a very emotional movie. It's another to be "moved". I think most people are being affected emotionally, not in a life shattering "movement". It's one thing to commit to faith, I mean truly commit to faith. It's quite another to have had an emotional experience.

I just now got back from seeing The Passion and would just say, I didn't cry and I wasn't shocked at the violence. The Pope said it best:" it is as it was". Mel did a great job, hope he makes millions and this movie lasts forever.

I'm with you, but remember that Noah's Flood started with a few raindrops, and none of them was willing to take the blame.
