I haven’t seen “The Passion” I’m not sure if I will any time soon, me and violence don’t go well together. In the movie “Ice Age” I hid at times… and for “Lord of the Rings” I hid whenever bad guys were on the screen… So this isn’t a movie I will likely see on my own (w/o Jason or another friend who understands my neurosis). But I just want to say I think some people are taking it all a little too seriously… I expect it to be just like any other book that has been made into a movie… I am sure it follows the book pretty closely, but things needed to be added or omitted to make it a better movie… One person and their vision was behind transforming this book to a movie… so it probably isn’t the way you or someone else would have done it… but hey… That is how it goes when books are turned into movies…
I agree with you completely Deb, and I am not going to see it for the same reasons. I can’t handle graphic violence. Plus it would just totally break my heart to see these things being done to Jesus. (That’s a personal thing for me) Anyway, it’s a movie. NOT a religion. A movie. People are taking it way too seriously!!
