| Deleted User | Why are they allowing minors to watch that movie? That, to me, is worse than the fact that it's a bootleg tape. (Could have been an honest mistake.)
Don't get me started on intellectual property rights, though. I'm warning you now.

Because if they inflict enough trauma on a child when they are young, it forms a deepset fear of 'bad people' in the child's mind - bad people such as jews, atheists, and anyone outside of whichever christian division's paradigm.
That's why brainwashing cults target the young.

I get the same message but I assume it was about somebody watching Pirate copies of Mel Gibson's new movie about some bloke getting nailed to a cross.
Dear Diary, My teenage angst bullsh*t now has a bodycount.

Apparently unobtainable!
Maybe they saw Ray's post?
Or perhaps (as usual) the Jews are responsible, or could it be the Homosexuals, or maybe both ... trying to sabotage Mr. Gibson's lucrative blood [s]libel[/s] fest!

At first I wanted to see this movie but as I thought more about it, maybe on DVD if at all. If Mel Gibson wants to vent his personal religious frustrations fine, but I am not paying for it.
I gather that the pirates showed about 40 minutes of torture to little kids.
Ahhhh, let's get the little ones into a mind set to hate others early on.
What garbage!

Why dwell on the pain and suffering that Jesus went through in the final few hours without any focus of his actual teachings? Just to cause anti-Semitic feelings and get folks all riled up? Much of the info behind the filming is from a very distorted and historically inaccurate viewpoint anyway. >
Still adventuring after all these years!
Patiently awaiting The Last Crown: Haunting of Hallowed Isle, and Bracken Tor...
... and Asylum if it's not tooooo scary...

| Deleted User | The film lasts about 2.1 hours, of which approximately 1.75 hours are sheer torture ...... literally!
Whatever your religious beliefs (or non-beliefs) :-
Don't go to see it if you can't stand oodles of gore spattered all over the place, tons of bloodied torn & lacerated flesh, ample crunching of breaking bones, limbs almost torn from their sockets, and similar appetizing delights!!
If however you DO like that sort of entertainment, you'll get a kick out of the sadistic Roman soldiers enjoying their torturings throughout nearly all of the film.
Mel Gibson's father being an outspoken anti-semite and Holocaust denier probably doesn't object ...... His son is cleverly much more circumspect!

It sounds though as if the movie would be roundly condemned for wanton violence if it were about anybody else's torture, but seeing as it's Jesus - well, that's ok.
I read the gospels the other day to see how much detail was in there about the torture and it certainly wasn't 2 hours' worth.

You're absolutely right Caroline!
Suppose it was about some poor "nonentity" tortured on the rack, and wheel, and other nice exquisitely painful instruments for 12 hours on end, by the Inquisition?
The climax of the film would not be crucifixion but burning alive at the stake. I have a feeling that live human flesh makes a nice crackling sound as it dissolves in the flames.
If we had 'smellies' in the cinemas, I imagine that the odor would be interesting ... to some folk, anyhow! :-[ :'(.
But such a film would probably be banned outright, or labeled as totally obscene!
Of course that was in the barbarous days around 500 years ago (and the Crucifixion, 2000).
But certain (religious but non Christian) sects seem to be fairly worthy followers in this our present advanced & enlightened day and age!

I call it "Gibson's homoerotic biblically-induced S&M whips&chains masturbation fantasy". No redeeming qualities, as it neglects any of the 'good' things from the origional book and instead focuses on torture and pain in a very glorified and fetishised manner.
There's NOTHING that anyone can possibly learn from this film, except just how much gore you can include in a film and get away with it. It has no moral structure and would make Jesus Christ himself vomit with rage. I wouldn't reccomend it for anyone - not children, not middle-age people, not for any human being.

Ray,
Can I be in the same part of Hell they throw you into? You make me laugh so much.
And his previous films were hardly Disney - were they?

I've heard that there were quite a few people who played it when it first came out that were upset about it! : Somehow I think Mel would hate it and would also hate The Da Vinci Code - just as well it doesn't sound like he's been asked to act in the movie they're going to make!
