I know that it has been a long while since this movie came out, but what did you guys think about it ? I was only able to watch half of it because it was so raw and graphic.

I think it was well written and had good actors. I not really into dwelling on the torture of Jesus. It was hard to watch. I will not watch it again.

Yeah I agree, it was difficult to watch. I wonder though if I would be a better Christian if I would keep in the fore front the agony He went through for me.

I thought it was good even though it contained some small bits that were not scriptural. Many struggled emotionally when faced with the visual picture of Jesus enduring the punishment of our sin.
After reading the reviews in the paper and how the media reacted it was very apparent that the world still hates Jesus. I sent a letter to the editor of the local newspaper but I think it was ignored because the negative comments continued to be published, with some calling it "the gospel according to Mel".

Well, it was based on the vision of a Catholic mystic, not the Bible

No it was based on the Bible. It had the odd bit of drama in as well.

Very good indeed. Horrific though. Whilst others were crucfied horrifically as well of course Jesus took upon Him the sin of the world so in this respect the raw and graphic torture was something to reflect on.

I have dipped back to watch bits a number of times.

The film the passion of the Christ was based on the vision of a 19th Century nun sister Catherine Emmerlich known as the "The Delorous Passion of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Aspen2,
You cant say it wasnt based on the Bible, in the Bible Jesus Christ was arrested tried, sourged, crucified and rose again was He not? Thats the theme of the passion. The interpretation of it may have been from a nun, but don't say it isnt based on the Bible.

I am not trying criticize it - I am just trying to be accurate. Of course, the nun who had the vision was steeped in the Bible - all nuns are.

I like to see the raw and graphic, because that is what i see everyday with peoples sinful ways darkening the day..
That is what people do, is it not ? it's an insult. and if they only could have the guts to see their handy work, they may see them self doing the same to Christ.
So i say have a good look and remember it full on.
God loves the sinner but hates the sin.
