I dissagree. That was one of the things I liked best. I liked that Jesus was more human than God.
If he's a God, then his suffering doesn't really touch me the same way as the suffering of a fragile human like me. So Him thinking of Mary, whom I believe he loved, just made sense. It made the movie real for me.
As an athiest, I thought it was a great story.
As for why I liked the film, it sure wasn't because he was Jesus. It was because he is a famous historical figure/character. Who he was and what he was is inconsequential. What matters is what people think he was and how that has shaped the world since.
I am fascinated from a historical perspective.
But also, I love seeing a new version of any popular character. For example, I love seeing every version of King Arthur or Dracula, Frankensten and Robin Hood. I just like to see what the creators of the film are going to show me that I've never seen before that will help me to better see the character as in a new way.
My favorite Jesus story is Godspell, where Jesus is a hippie in the late 60's in New York City. February 3, 1959

Samus Wacholez said: 1. It was a documentary, and we obviously knew how it ends.
2. It was only a gore fest, sure it was jesus and he 'died for our sins' but
3. what does that even mean?
4. Instead of showing the death of Jesus, perhaps Mel ought to have shown what he did for man kind, not what we did to him.
5. Nothing even happened in the movie, all we saw was the death of a character that, only counting the movie, we know nothing about. hey, maybe he desirved to die for all we know.
6. Mel gibbson is now going to hell for capitolizing off of Jesus.
also I find it rediculous that if you write the word Passion on something it will now sell like mad. I just find it blasphemous.
First off....un-good? That makes me think someone wasn't thinking all that hard when they wrote this. Anywho,
1. I give you examples: Troy, Titanic, Alamo, and war movie, and movie about something that actually happened. All usually good movies and many won tons of awards, most deserved some didn't. It was not a documentary, I didn't see cuts to Mary explaining her exact emotion while we see scenes of Jesus being nailed to the cross.
2. It was not really a gore fest there are movies that are complete gore fests that people seemed to love, i.e. Kill Bill Vol. 1, Saving Private Ryan. Those two were just as bad if not worse. I truly think the reason it seems that way in this then in other movies is because all of the attention on what is being done to one single person.
3. I think this question was answered well, it was the name of the play that starts with Jesus trial all the way to his resurrection and I think it refers to Jesus Passion for the human race in giving his own life to save all of them.
4. If Mel would have shown what he did the whole span of the bible the movie would have been a week long. He focused on one basic event that everyone knows with snippets hidden within to gain interest in the whole picture. And quite honestly even as a religious person myself I think a movie that would show all of that would be hard to watch and keep interest for long periods of time.
5. First of all this was a very historic character and apparently by the 370 million it made in our country alone people seemed to care even though they supposedly didn't know the character as you say. There are about a billion Christians in the world.
6.For you to presume that you know who is going to hell and who isn't defeats the purpose of Christianity all together. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." Where did that come from....oh wait the....bible...thats it the bible. Is it so hard to believe that maybe just maybe he was trying to be a tad bit evangelical with his own depiction of the death of Jesus? Just maybe I mean if the other side is plausible I think this side would be as well.
The one point that you make that i do agree with is that people shouldn't be using the name to sell things now as that is using something of that nature to make money but other than that nah nah
I think your right Longshot and Cosmo please don't point fingers at other religions and talk about hating them. Digital Sodom and Gomorrah other wise known as MySpace.
