Having seen the film now, I can only marvel that the attacks are pretty much demonic. Hopefully, the devil will end up spitefully biting his own tail on this one-- as he does in The Passion by inciting on the executioners of Christ, and thus being complicit in his own ultimate defeat. The Passion is high art. It is the greatest movie about Jesus ever made. In the discussion following the film, Mel and co. were asking us how mainstream theater audiences would react to the film. I told them, "Who cares? What you have here is so much more than just a product to sell. It will live forever, regardless of whether it is a commercial success for you or not."

Wonderful first hand account. I've always liked Mel Gibson and hoped he would consider going into politics.

[mykdsmom]

Sounds incredible, I can't wait to see it. Do you know when it will be released for general consumption?

Of course I have to say this, "You got to meet and talk to Mel for an hour?" WOW!!!!!

I LOVE Mel.

I'm not as active religious wise as I should be. Church poltics really turned me away from it lately.

A Christian film from a fellow Catholic like Mel Gibson is a must see. I'll know he'll do the best job he can on it.

[mykdsmom]

DOH!!!! Now I see that you were posting something someone else wrote Oops!!! Time for bed for me : (

[Fred Mertz]

How does it end?

[Sinner6]

I heard Medved talking about the movie on his show and he says he plans to see it.

[Cicero]

Sounds good.

I was curious who this reviewer was, so I did a Google search. Here's what turned up:

[OREALLY]

Thanks...exactly as I figured...I will go see it and buy the movie...

[ModernDayCato]

My wife and I have known each other for 15 years and we've never gone to the movies together. Looks like that's going to change soon.

[Hildy]

Speaking as a Jew, I can't wait to see this movie.

[St.Chuck]

Wow! That's one super duper thumbs up.

[DoughtyOne]

I'm looking forward to seeing this, and the wait will be too long.

It must be a real source of sorrow to Gibson and his crew to see the animus derived from their good intentions.

It drives me crazy to watch folks attack this movie knowing absolutely nothing about it. In the end the title might change. Content may morph as well.

There will be plenty of time to whine when the work is done.

[Maximilian]

Wow. I have been saying for some time that if Mel Gibson is able to succeed with his intentions, then this will be the greatest movie of all time, both artistically and religiously. This review makes it sound as though he has succeeded even beyond expectations. I'm anxiously looking forward to next spring and being able to see the greatest movie of all time.

Seriously, I'm looking forward to seeing this. Why don't they get a trailer online?

[Antoninus]

Arrrgh! I can't believe we have to wait 8 solid months to see it. Can't wait!

[Ciexyz]

I'm looking forward to seeing this film. Go Jesus go!

[Im Your Huckleberry]

I'll see it, just to spite the left and their hateful attacks against the film.

Can't wait to see it.

[potlatch]

We all need to make this movie a #1 hit, and let it be known that we have high praise for Mel Gibson.

[PMCarey]

Is there going to be a novelization?
