I am very excited about the release of this movie.
Our church is in Lancaster, Pa (big amish area) and the local theater there has only agreed to 2 showings of this. (Because of the controversy, I'm sure)
I've been told by someone who saw an early showing of this that it is DEFINITELY not for kids.
It has an R rating, and is not appropriate for kids under 13.
Aparently, the crusifixion scene is VERY graphic.

I really want to see this - even the promos make me shiver - it looks very powerful and even though I'm not of that faith exclsuvely I love and am moved by many things about it - can't wait!

Starting the thread now, since I think many of us will see it this week - it opens on Ash Wednesday. We are going to 5:00 mass on Ash Wednesday with our neighbors, then going with them to see the movie right after mass. I wasn't sure I wanted to see it, but I would like to see what all the pre-release hoo-ha was about, and also I admire Gibson for putting his wallet where his heart is so I don't mind sending the price of a prime-time ticket in his general direction.

I too will see the movie Goddessatlaw. I have read a great deal about it, and have respected Gibson in the past for his religious stands, so I'm looking forward to seeing it. Our singles group at church is going next week.

My church group is going to Wed's 7pm showing.
I'm torn.. I'm excited to see it, yet I know I was moved from the 2 minute trailer, so I'm sure It will be an emotional movie..

Just read this from a friend of mine who saw it tonite in a special showing with her church......


I just got back from this movie. It was not just a movie, but an experience. If you are a Christian it is a must-see. If you are not, I would urge you to see it anyway. It is very violent, gory, graphic, and bloody. I actually had to turn my head for most of the beating scenes and became very nauseated from the sheer violence of it all. Sadly, it was probably mild compared to the actual event. I cannot put into words how this movie made me feel, but I am emotionally raw from the experience. I did not want to make eye contact or small talk with anyone upon leaving the theater and that was difficult since our church had reserved 2 whole auditoriums, so I saw plenty of people I knew, but had no words to say. When the movie ended no one moved or made a sound. It was by far the most unusual and compelling movie experience I have ever had. I will never see this movie again though. Once is enough and I don't want it to become less shocking or more commonplace.

P.S. IMO, it was not anti-Semitic at all. Actually, the blame was largely placed upon the Roman soldiers. The script was almost verbatim from the Bible. It is in Aramaic and Latin, so it is subtitled througout, but honestly you forget you are reading because you are so involved in what is happening.

I too am going to see this, but I am not sure if I want to watch it on the big screen with a big crowd. I know I will be turning my head a lot and crying a ton as well.

I have been watching some of the interviews with the actor who played Jesus and I can not believe he was struck by lightening while filming the part on the cross!!! Whoa!

Silly, do you think it may have been a message from G-d?

As a Jew, I'm glad to hear that someone who has seen it stated it wasn't anti-semetic. Thanks for that post Tex.

I won't be seeing this movie simply because I know I won't be able to stand all the flogging scenes but I will be very interested to read what you all have to say about it.

You're welcome Zules. I am torn about seeing it too. I am not one for violent movies, but I understand the reason for it and the message he is trying to get across..the sacrifice that Jesus truly made for us. Like I said, I haven't seen it, but I have to wonder why no one complains about anti German movies when their is a graphic Holocaust movie??

I understand the reason for the violence as well Tex, I just know it would be too much for me personally. For some reason, flogging and whipping scenes get to me much more than other types of violence.

People do and have complained about graphic Holocaust movies. Some people even say it never happened.

I know it just seems that this hasn't created a bigger furor.
I am with you on the whipping scenes....wince!
