    I love the last line in the article.

    "Still, if you flogged yourself for two hours and six minutes, the result might be about as enlightening as this film."

    The "enlightenment" he seeks just ain't gonna show[:I].


    Clouder..

    Who cares? He's a critic from MicroSloth NBC. The feckless little Liberal-Arts weasel wasted his time in college studying Film and Art and Expressing Yourself With Your Butt and all that other crapola, and the only job he's fit for is trying to find fault with the work of others---others generally much more capable and talented than him, I might add---and trying to sound clever and sophisticated in the process. It's so painfully transparent, I can't help but laugh at him!

    It won't win an Oscar because of liberal bias but it will probably bust more than records with how much money it brings in to Mel. Beach.

    P.S. I certainly intend to see it with my family. Beach

    A lot of the movie critics that already have seen it believe that it will be all time classic such as Gone With The Wind is,

    I haven't been to the theater in over a year. I think I'll make an exception for the Passion and take my wife out to dinner and a movie. [:)][:)]

    As far as this review, if the movie had been nice and peachy about Jesus' sermon on the mount or something, I would bet this guy would write that the movie was not realistic enough. I think movies about JC should be diverse in their approaches.

    If one doubts for a minute that there is a broad and intense effort in this country and world to oppress Christianity, or religion in general, in favor of secularism, then they are simply ignoring the facts.

    The environment of disparaging and divisive comments that are endless in their attacks on this movie are merely another extension of that.

    It has been said by many who have seen this movie that they expect that viewing it alone will cause thousands to examine there own lives and accept Jesus into their hearts.

    You can be assured that the secularists DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN! So you can see the reason for much of the controversy. THEY ARE SCARED OF THE POWER OF THE TRUTH that this movie reveals!

    Thank you Mr. Gibson for your honest and realistic testimony.
