I kinda liked it...
Just about everything. I didn't think the three hours of flagellation was either profound or entertaining. I'm not convinced by the people say, "Oh, it shows what Jesus went through for us," because apart from the fact I don't think he went through it for us, I know people personally who have suffered a great deal more, and would gladly trade their lung cancer or their AIDS or the death of their child for a single day of torture. I think it trivializes the life and teachings of Jesus by making the manner of his death the most important thing about him. There was no real character development and no real plot; the whole movie amounted to little more than a tableau of brutality. The only thing I liked about it was what I took the be the symbolism of Eve, as the mother of humanity, standing as a witness to the whole thing -- and then I found out that the female figure was not intended to be Eve, but Satan. In short, I don't think it's even necessary to bring up the whole argument about anti-Semitism to say this is the worst movie I've ever seen about Jesus.
It wasn't as insipid as movies about Jesus usually are; I'll give it that. But it was worse than insipid.
One I never got into that a lot of my friends like was burn after reading, I thought it was stupid, espacially when that odd "machine" was brought into the picture.
Oh and I never though they could make brad pitt unattractive, but that movie proved me wrong.
I didn't like the film as much, but the book is very compelling IMO.The Shining, just plane stupid.
I thought The Passion was a cute little film. The costumes and the sets were good.the passion.
Heh, I'm in two minds about the Passion. I thought the effort that went into the film; historical clothing, language, sets etc were good, but another part of me found the whole thing unnecessary. Unlike the Last Temptation which I thought was excellent, if less historically accurate.I thought The Passion was a cute little film. The costumes and the sets were good.
