The "Pieta" as the camera pans outwards slowly. Man, I still get a lump in my throat every time I see this
I saw it the first time in the theater, and purchased the DVD the day it came out.. but I can't imagine watching it a second time. I bought the DVD to support the movie.. but have no intentions of watching it. Too much for me!
It actually was easier watching it a second time, but you're right. It is not for the faint of heart.
It truly does give you a picture for the suffering that Christ went through for us, and is the ultimate act of love.

Has it been any different for say, the past 25 years?
I mean no disrespect saying this, but I'd rather fight the Viet Cong.
Because at least against them one could see 'em, *usually*.
Unlike the quisling mediots of today?

The Enemy Within looks just like you and me but unlike us their longtime China Army Money backing has kept them in the hunt for the Presidency of the United States =

Maybe they should rename "The Oscars" "The Passion" because it is the Oscars.
I bet you they gonna give some Oscars to anything that is anti-cultural and anti-Christian, as they always do each year.
Two Thumbs UP for "The Passion of Christ"!!!
Mel Gibson deserves the Oscar
for the Film of The Century!!!!
"Those people" who maligned and demonized Mel Gibson and "The Passion" originally intented to stop the outright distribuiton of this epic and historical film. However, when these anti-Christian thugs saw that they couldn't stop the showing of "The Passion" their continuation of their hatred served to intimidate and remind Christians of their future actions. IOW, "Don't try again to control history by controlling the present! We are the masters of the written word and the media and the spreaders of lies."
