a friend of mine had me watch the movie last night. its the first time i saw it and it verified why i paid no attention to it in the first place. why didnt mel gibson do ANY teaching in the movie? the movie was all about Jesus getting a beat down and people blew this movie all up like they did? the reason why, look at the banner sui juris has on this website with the man with his head in the sand. its sad that in this day and time the movie industry can still prove they have people's minds under a spell. what did this movie bring to the table that made anybody think about anything other than "man, what great dramatic cinema." its propaganda llike the judge shows on tv where they have the people's minds controlled. a lot of people again will get mad at me for touching on the truth with relgion, but come on, we are here to learn. and that movie presented NOTHING in the form of raising the mindsets of ignorant people. Jesus got beat down for 2 whole hours, whining and crying, Mary looking crazy and dumbfounded, gay looking men running around with makeup and eyeliner spitting on him and laughing a just , what was the big deal about this whole affair?
