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

What do you guys think? Is Mel on the right track creating this movie?

Most Americans tend to claim heritage from every country in the freakin' world!

"Yeah, i'm like, 1/60 Brazilian, and 1/40 British, and 1/2 American!"

Interesting... I wonder what rationale most people use as the basis for that claim. I feel comfortable claiming that because of the geneological records I have that show this to be the case.
I would have thought that more people would have claimed English heritage than German. Quite intriguing...

Everyone is different though Java. You don't know the discussions they have with eachother in private. I wouldn't go around saying what I think my father is wrong on in public. But I might discuss it with him.

And who knows really how much of a role the Jewish people had in his death. Its said that the Jewish Heirarchy wanted him gone. So if they had a part it should be shown. You don't try to sugar coat the way Germans treated Jews and so many others during WW2 or the Africans were treated by white people throughout the centuries.

It looks like an interesting movie. I'll see it. :)

I'm Jewish and think the ADL is acting like a group of sissies. But hey thats what they do.

Jesus spoke Aramaic.

In the months leading up to the release there was still some debate as to whether there would be subtitles at all. We all know the story.

I've heard that some historians criticized it because the Romans all spoke Latin when, in fact, Romans in that time and place spoke Greek.

Check this out:

I loved my father too, but I didn't hesitate to say if I disagreed with him about something, and I certainly would have spoken up about something like this.

Hebrew to my knowledge :)

But personally I can't wait until it comes out over here in the UK - it should be great to see. To remind me, in detail, of what my Saviour did for me - all those years ago.

I am genuinely surprised with how many people are wanting to see it, even people who are not Christians. Not complaining though, its great to see - maybe it will touch your hearts...

There are subtitles, but it is in all Latin and greek and aramaic. I'm really looking forward to it, but I don't want to have too many expectations. Guess I'll just have to see for myself. I do think that it's awesome that Mel nails Christ to the cross. As moving as Raphael's portrait of the crucifixion. (you know, that famous painter guy ;) )

If they don't put English subtitles, I won't watch it, I don't understand Aramaic or Latin. But I'm definitely interested in seeing it. I'm saying that as an atheist.

Yeah I don't think this is your typical Hollywood treatment movie. None of it is in english. I think some Latin and Greek are spoken perhaps? And definitely Aramaic. I believe originally Gibson wasn't going to even put in subtitles but that could just be an old rumor

The scene where they drive the nails into 'that jesus dude's' hands (quote courtesy of fiZZ :D) it is Mel Gibson's hands doing the hammering. In his exact words, "His wounds healed mine." :)

Okay I'm confused
what part does Mel Gibson play?
or does he direct it?

he directs it right?
;)

anyway, my idea is this seems a great movie, and I'll go and see it, without any doubt...:)

I, too, am looking forward to this movie, despite the fact that I've already lost my faith. :P

Some people think it will be terrible because it's a Hollywood movie about Jesus Christ, but I don't think anyone (especially Mel Gibson) would make a movie about Jesus and let it go down as a 'typical' Hollywood movie.

I for one am thrilled and would like to see it. I think a popularized actor like Mel Gibson, who has frankly "made it" in Hollywood, is taking a huge risk by putting out a movie that is being critized before it's release because of the contents, and that some big companies aren't backing it up. It really shows Mel has a vision, and I'm on the edge of my seat on this one.

I'm not a Christian, and I'd still like to see it, to see the story for dramatic and moral value, and an appreciation of (at least) a great man that is Jesus Christ.
