The Passion of Christ

[Freak83]

It is as it was.

Im a Jew, what do you think I will do?

[Anticrombie0909]

Anti, screw you. Some people may like it. Alot of people may like it. And the people that like it probably wont say its a mockery. You may find it a mockery to the bible, but that's just you. All Gibson is doing is going, "Hey! I made a movie that shows what I think happened to Jesus! You don't have to go see it, but it's there in case you're interested or anything!"

The reason I'm upset is that this is supposed to be a historical movie, but it injects so much damn anti-semitism into it that Jews (like they don't get enough crap already) are going to get even more negative feelings toward them from the church, from Christians, from everyone, really. If you're going to feel negatively against nothing else, how about this- Pastors all over the country are recommending that parents take their children to go see it right away. They're too young to understand this, they're just going to see a man endure two hours of horrible bloodshed and torture, and have psychological damage for life. Is that something young kids should see?

Further more, I dont think youve seen the movie, and saying that it sucks before youve seen it...well...sucks. It's like picking up The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy at Barnes and Noble, reading the paragraph summary on the back, and saying "Damn, someone must have been really high when they were making this," and then putting back on the shelf and never reading it

First of all, I've read that book, and it's probably one of my favorite books of all time. Secondly, it's completely different, because I know what the subject matter is about, I know some of what the movie is going to focus on, and I know enough that it doesn't shed the Jews in any favorable light.

Edit:

It strays from the real story in several ways...for instance, it portrays the king Pilate as a sensitive, caring ruler who was forced into crucifying Jesus because of a chanting Jewish mob.

OMG YOU WERE THERE WHEN IT HAPPENED?????[/quote]

OMG YOU WERE THERE WHEN THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN?????

Cause you listen to that too, without any more tangible proof than written word, which is exactly what I'm going on. Historical documents show us that Pilate is a power-hungry, violent ruler, and I'm going on the assumption that they're a tinge bit more reliable than Gibson.

Different people have different opinions MM, if you read it in a different light you'll find it hilarious

WTF...A DIFFERENT LIGHT. I still find it not funny.

Yup, too bad only one person at my school is excited about it (he bought a freaking shirt) so im safe.

[makaveli121212]

you know anti gibsons view of pilate comes from the bible...historical documents what the hell does that mean...

Pilate is mean and the bible is wrong...anti will be gay

[Omeganitros]

Point taken, Anti. But like I said, I alreay have leg to stand on for that.

Dude: Dude, you Jews suck! You killed Jesus!
Me: I killed Jesus? Im sorry, I dont think I was there when it really happened, nor was I part of The Passion of Christ cast, nor was I written in the bible at any part. If the Jews back then killed Jesus, I'm sure they were just jerks that happened to be Jewish.

See? Zam, Pow, Boom.

I mean pretend you're in an idiot and then re-read it.

[makaveli121212]

aka pretend youre MoP

[Master_of_PARANOiA]

aka pretend youre MoP

Exactly

But you could also pretend you're anti

[Musical_Master]

It didn't work with Anti, it did with you though. I even found your sig funny.

[Master_of_PARANOiA]

I'm all alone

[Anticrombie0909]

aka pretend youre MoP

Exactly

But you could also pretend you're anti

I can see why you'd say that, MoP, but it doesn't work with me. You see, you found it funny because you have the I.Q. level of roughly a blueberry muffin. I found it funny because I'm an athiest, religon hating, cynical bastard.

[Musical_Master]

I LEIK TEH BLUBERRY MUFFINS!!!

[Anticrombie0909]

And the thread turns retarded and goes to hell......now.
