The Making of 'The Passion of the Christ'

I have viewed a lot of comments on here and what I don't understand is how can so many of you be so close-minded? Most of you are saying how bloody and violent it is. Well, ummm, HELLOOOOO, that's what it was like for Jesus back then. Also, he did that for us. He went through all that pain and suffering for US!! For those of you that say it lacks a plot, well apparently you saw some interest in the movie to see it for some reason. If you wanted to know more about it then how hard is it to get your hands on a bible and look up the story? Or, you could have called a local preacher and asked him where you could find the story in the bible. You all knew this was taken right from the bible just based on the title. If you knew nothing about it then look it up. Shoot, you even could have ran a search for it on a search engine. All you had to do was type in these simple words, "Story of Jesus Christ" or you could have used, "The death of Jesus" Honestly, how hard is that? If you would have done your homework about this film before seeing it you would have seen that everything in the film was dead on!! That includes all the blood and gore and all the pain and suffering. All of you people that said this film was crap what don't you go read that part of the bible and maybe then and only then you'll see it was written beautifully. Maybe after you do that you'll also realize that Jesus went through all that pain and suffering for YOU!! The reason he did all of that was because he wants you to live a life of eternity with him in paradise and not in hell. But, even if you don't decide to read the story and you decide to stay with your negative comments, I just hope that you will have a good explanation as to why you didn't believe when God asks as you go before him during judgment day.

I have recently purchased this movie The Passion of the Christ, and a study guide to the movie "A guide to the Passion - 100 Questions About The Passion of the Christ". If you do not know about Jesus, I urge you to find out more for yourself. Please don't just go through life following the crowd and not experiencing things for yourself. This movie, in my opinion, is able to change YOUR LIFE. Not in the way that it will make you rich, or famous, but it can touch you deeply seeing the way Jesus suffered and died. You just need to watch the movie with an open-heart, or open-mind, and then think for Yourself, "Why did Jesus do this?", and "Is it true Jesus died for me?". If you have read this far, you can see I am no expert writer, like the critic who commented on this movie. I know they were only doing their job, but it sounds specifically harsh the way they talked about the movie and the people involved in it.

Let me finish by saying; See for yourself if Jesus can make a difference in your life. I can tell you that my life has been turned upside down in the last 6 months, and that I am so happy Jesus is in my life and that I have a relationship with Him now!

Give God a chance, and God Bless You All!

After watching this PAX special and the Mel Gibson movie itself,I feel this is this best documentary that television can pass to the public. It also made me ponder on how other Jesus movies were made even though Mel defended his own project. I enjoyed the way how Jim Caviezel expressed his coincidences and feeling about portraying Christ. And the way Monica Belluci summarized that violence condones violence, I couldn't argue with her. If this documentary made PAX TV's ratings go up, I can't wait until the picture itself comes out on TV, though due to the intense violence perhaps only cable TV may telecast it.

It appears some people take the opportunity in this area of IMDb to show you their personal believes and present it as an absolute truth. I find that rather distasteful but feel compelled to voice out a different point of view. Don't believe some of the comments in here. Despite what some people would like you to believe Jesus did not die on the cross for your sins. He never even existed. Even if he did how could he die for sins of people that have not even been born. He certainly didn't die for my sins. I love my sins, they too make me who I am. So take your backwater opinions and leave it somewhere where it belongs, but not here. Beside that the story of Jesus is a nice fairy tale (altough ripped off from much older stories) and should be appreciated as such.

I saw the film and it did make a impression on me,I felt that parts were missing in the film that were needed,such as a section on Jesus home life and the events that led up to his Saviour journey. Also an inter-reaction from the Priests,into why they decided to Kill him,and what led up to it,from Mel Gibsons thoughts and reasoning,would have been interesting.

There is no question this portrays the evil doings of man, as it states in the Bible,look what we have done to Six Million people fifty years ago,and three thousand people four years ago.

The only problem is that the facts of his life can not be proved to be totally like this film portrays,the only facts that can be enforced is the evil deeds that we as people are capable of,we have not changed from the beginning of time.
