TUFKAK Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 17 hours ago, Greatoneshere said: I actually think Passion of the Christ is a moving, beautiful film. My wife, raised Muslim and in Pakistan, I explained his story (in liberal, progressive, awesome terms) ahead of the film and when we watched it the movie made her cry. It's a great movie, if, yes, of course, a bit torture porn-y but that's Gibson's Catholicism for you. I say this as a person who despises organized religion, raised Muslim, and among other things has a degree in religion. It's still a beautifully scored, shot, directed, and acted movie. Movie I use loosely. A sequel . . . makes sense, technically (Jesus rises from the dead guys, spoiler alert, it's even in the first movie), but would be weird? Mel Gibson sucks as a person but Braveheart, The Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto are some of my favorite movies and Hacksaw Ridge was preachy but good (Gibson with a pacifist message lol). So, uh, yeah, I'm in, weirdly. I laughed in the theater as I recall. When the legionary is mocking him. Got some looks over that one. Gallows humor even before the corps! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I remember reports of young children being allowed/forced to watch this because the torture/violence in this instance was acceptable... Hopefully they get the music right this time.. use Jesus' favorite bands for the soundtrack.. The Carpenters and Nine Inch Nails 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 From the synopsis: Quote "Resurrection would focus on the twenty-four hours encompassing Jesus' passion and the events that occurred three days between his crucifixion and resurrection.” In that case, there really is nothing in the Biblical text for that timeframe other than the Harrowing of Hell @thewhyteboar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
