Anyhow it was good, and I appreciated reading the above info about the different types of Jews of that era, and what the Pharasees really were. Mel Gibson is an awesome director.

I have not seen the movie yet but have heard many things about it both good and bad. One person told me it was excessively violent and that it was rated as a horror movie. My response was I agreed with the rating. It is not usual to think of religious events as horrific but to me the passion of Christ was the most horrific event in humanities history and I think it may not be an easy movie to watch but for a generation of people with little to no imagination I think it may be an excellent manner in which to convey the core beliefs of Chrisitianity. I am not surprised by all the controversy at all. It has been the same throughout history the message of the Gospel has always divided people violently. I do not think it is fair to use the atrocities that have been committed in the name of Christ as a reason not to watch the film and think about what it is saying Yes in many ways it is surprising.
