This movie will have legs for months IMO.

We're assembling a family group to see it on Sunday afternoon. I've been channel surfing, and I've been listening to critical comments by Lawrence O'Donnell and Christopher Hitchens, as well as some Jewish leaders. Their negativity will only cause people to want to see it.

I saw it last night. It's interesting how the secularists decry the violence and bloodshed. What I recall most from the film is the flashbacks during Jesus abuse by the Romans: his teaching on the Mount, to the stoners of Mary Magdalene, to his disciples at the last supper, and the Resurrection. They were exquisitely filmed. These scenes and Christs teachings, which most are familiar with from scripture, were intimate, profound and moving. They IMHO, heal the raw visual effects of Christs suffering, and are what may inspire the doubters, not his suffering.

There are people out there that definately don't get it. Sad to say, some of them surprise me by their lack of understanding. I agree with your premise.
