The Passion of the Christ is the *GREATEST* movie *EVER* made.

The movie where someone's tortured on-screen for upwards of 2 hours? Yechh...give me The Ten Commandments & Charlton Heston any day. Now there's a religious epic I can watch time and again.

[Soul Seeker]

Huh. I wouldn’t summarize the movie as being about torture myself but then I liked the film. To each their own. I like the Ten Commandment’s too however.

[pissant]

No he’s not. He’s a left wing idiot.

[MHGinTN]

Sure you can watch it time and again, it doesn’t prick your soul like the facts do ...

[fortheDeclaration]

What a fall from Brave Heart!

(from Wikipedia)

Film critic Roger Ebert, who rated the movie four-out-of-four stars, said in his review:

The movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of Jesus. This is the most violent film I have ever seen.

Ebert also mentioned that the R-rated film merits the MPAA NC-17 rating in a "Movie Answer Man" response, adding that no level-minded parent should ever allow children to see it.

As you said, to each their own.

"Mel Gibson plays a Boston cop (with a transparently inaccurate Boston accent)" ... I would be willing to bet that the fool Schlussel could discern the difference if someone didn't cue her! And in that revealing blind sycophancy, this sludge of a human reveals for whom she works. ... I wouldn't piss on her if she was on fire.

Graphic depictions of torture prick my soul?

Huh. Who knew? I thought all they did was engage my gag reflex...

As a leftist faux amongst US since 2008, I imagine certain scenes made you uncomfortable. Thanks for the update.

[Piers-the-Ploughman]

how about just once a year, say on Good Friday?

[GL of Sector 2814]

Watching a movie once a year on regular basis is arguably "time and again"...

[reaganaut]

While I do have some issues with some of the Passion of the Christ (the parts that are from Catherine Emmerich’s visions), it IS a very accurate portrayal of Roman torture and Crucifixion practices based upon texts and archeology.

That said, spiritually and as a Christian, watching the film puts an entirely new light on the sufferings the Lord Jesus Christ went through on our behalf.

Of course, the fact that I could follow the Aramaic made the movie fun for me.

Let's see: I want to reduce taxes substantially, I want a strong national defense, I'm against national health care, I support fighting radical Islam, I'm against gun control, I support the death penalty, I'm in favor of controlling our borders, I support vouchers, I support free trade, I want more nuclear power plants, and I find AGW laughable.

Yeesh...I'm practically a Marxist!

Now that's a skill one doesn't encounter very often (outside the Middle East, anyway!).

the evil the company is trying to hide is that it manufactures dirty bombs and nuclear weapons for the Defense Department, which are designed to look like they were made in third party countries. The word “jihadist” is used in reference to that (”jihadist dirty bombs”), so apparently, sub rosa, evil America is framing or trying to frame the jihadists and “other countries” in terrorist attacks and poisoning left-wing activists with radiation.

I remember last year when that violently anti-American Turkish movie with Gary Busey came out and everyone was all up in arms. The Hollywood response has been, clearly, to try to capture that market.

[reaganaut]

LOL. I know. Several years of Hebrew and one year of Aramaic required for my B.A. :)

[isom35]

but Road Warrior had a better chase scene...

[karnage]

It’s a somewhat convoluted, but still enjoyable, yarn. I had no trouble ignoring the politics and enjoying Mel kick ass.

“adding that no level-minded parent should ever allow children to see it.”

What a wuss. All my kids have seen it...except, let me think...yeah, my four-year-old hasn’t.

Palin is still an unanchored ignoramus who is now endorsing liberal John McCain.
