Hey All, Moby here. Just wanted to drop a line and see what peoples thoughts are on the new upcoming film by Mel Gibson, The Passion. This movie is about the last 12 hours of Jesus Christ according to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. I for one am thrilled that this movie is coming out. I have seen the trailers. You can too by clicking here http://www.thepassionofthechrist.com What do you guys think? Is Mel on the right track creating this movie? -DM- _______________ One Day, it will all end.

I'd say there that he believes the Holocaust happened. He's just being a bit ambiguous for maybe different reasons. Not to upset his father, doesn't believe the accepted numbers but knows millions died, other reasons who knows. This guy points out that Gibson says "some of them were Jews" That though he takes out of context. Since it should be stated as this "The Second World War killed tens of millions of people. Some of them were Jews in concentration camps" So some of the Tens of Millions of people killed in WW2 were the Jews in Concentration camps. 6 million sounds like some of tens of millions to me. And saying that Gibson speaks in a way similar to a Holocaust denier, well he was obviously raised by one. So that could be why he speaks similar to one if he does believe it happened. Would someone who doesn't believe the Holocaust happened say "The guy who taught me Spanish was a Holocaust survivor" Wouldn't saying someone survived the Holocaust mean you believed it happened. _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

Here's a David Frum essay that really hammers home what bothers me about the whole Holocaust issue with Gibson: http://www.nationalreview.com/frum/diary022904.asp "Is Mel Gibson a Holocaust denier? I am not asserting that he is. After reading two interviews, I still do not know. Shouldn’t I know?" Yeah, he should know, and so should the rest of us, but we don't. There's more but I won't quote it at length. Click the link. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

I was surprised.. there wasn't alot of that "religion shoved in your face" kind of thing. Keeping in mind I ]was attending a very christian movie, that aspect could have been alot worse. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

at least with the movie you're chosing to have the "word of god" shoved in your face, unlike people that feel it is their duty to do it whether you ask for it or not. very powerful movie, didn't really "like" it though. i have to say jesus rules, too bad the religious institution based on his teachings sucks by comparison. _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |

I went to see Miracle this weekend, and when I came out the line for The Passion was.... 30 yards long (from where you give your ticket to the ENTRANCE doors), it was huge. As for me, I dont think I'll see this. I'm a bit squeemish and not too much into God. Plus I'm only 14 so it would be hard to get admission  _______________ Brady Brothers: Orion-Greg, Furi0us-Peter, Me-Bobby. Long lost cousin to Flash. Midbie Council #007. Ex-JAK. |

I'll probably see it soon. I don't normally like movies with pain and stuff, but if Jesus was willing to go through it for me, I should be willing to see a movie about it for him _______________ RL bro to HawkJedi Chuck Norris pwns!(duh) Proud member of Yeah, it's a hat. |

I heard there's an hour long torture scene in this movie. I'm REALLY interested in seeing this... I'm not Christian, but I still think the story of Christ is an interesting thing. |

Quote: /me loves Jesus. I am going to see this Friday. My wife went with the staff from our church. She is not a CRYER at ALL. She said she went out to her Van and LOST IT. As I know the story, the events wont shock me. But Mel has studied for a long time and received numerous accounts on the ACTUAL process used for Flogging and Crucifixtion. These are the aspects which I dread seeing. But to truly know what Jesus went through to save US, is a must. I am glad you guys are posting your feedback from the movie. I will report mine Friday Night. -DM- w00t w00t - can't wait to see it Jesus 0wnz0rs _______________ Website |

nope ill give ya an exact quote, "Im not giving him my *god fearing* money." this coming from a sweet girl who bearly swears, so i guess its a sensitive subject, she thinks its one of those things that will only fuel anti semitism. So basically thats a NO. Ill still see it this weekend, probably Saturday, ill report in afterwards, luv ya guys, all of ya *edited by dj-censormatic* JP edit-LOL @ DJ _______________ Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??" This comment was edited by JP on Feb 27 2004 08:08am. |

Quote: Being a Catholic in a 65% jewish school theres some hostility here, as i also have a jewish girlfriend im hesitant to even mention it, for i already have my problems dating her for she cant tell her mom because she would disown her, for any jew ppl here, katan maybe you can help me with this, is this an isolated case, but im gonna ask her opinion on what shes heard of the movie, and maybe if she'll go see it with me, but my Christian friends who have seen it said it brought them to tears, even the big frat guys. I cant wait to see it. Aye JP, its not too much of an isolated cause, although, while my parents want me to marry a Jewish person, if I date a christian, they arnt gonna disown me Personally, I dont think she would have a problem with going and seeing it, all the Jew's I know just think "Hey, its a movie, I know the story, and its again, just a movie and just a story." _______________ |

Quote: A religious movie, sold out a long time in advance? Man, it's weird how stuff like that differs from country to country. I have a feeling the movie will end up with red numbers here.  Welcome to the good ole US of A! Where I live, this movie will probably be in theatres through the summer (The Bible Belt - Southern US). Being an Atheist here is kinda like...well...uh...kinda like... Hmmm... weird. I'm always feeling a bit out of place.
