mel gibson new movie "the passion of christ"

[GhostDog]

here is gibsons new movie that he written and directed.... its not in english and has no subtitles.... it about the final hours of christ.... i've seen other clips of it and it looks shocking and extremly brutal.... http://www.apple.com/trailers/newmarket/thepassionofthechrist.html

[GhostDog]

No doubt this will win every award under the sun....

[GhostDog]

Does nobody have anything to say about this trailer????:confused:

[nobody]

Since you asked for me by name, I'll say something. If this movie is successful - critically or commercially, or both - it will be a great example of the idea that "there's no such thing as bad publicity."

I've heard so much about this movie already: there were going to be NO subtitles, but then Gibson changed his mind, but then he changed it back.....the movie's anti-Semitic / Mel Gibson is anti-Semitic / Mel Gibson's father is anti-Semitic (and a Holocaust denier!).....but the Pope saw the movie and liked it...... :rolleyes:

I'll probably see it when it comes out, and make up my own mind.

[SiliconeTits]

i cant stand mel gibson....i think this is shockin to be honest...heard about it a while ago.....theres a chance it could be banned before its realeased due to religious implications

and no im not religious i hate religion

[SiliconeTits]

and that includes atherists.....there just as pathetic as roman catholics only weird instead of gay

I doubt it'll get banned completely, except maybe in the type of country that routinely does that sort of thing. (I think Egypt banned one or both of the Matrix sequels because of "religious implications.")

Some scenes might be altered from what Gibson had originally intended, but I'm confident those of us who live in free countries will still get to see this movie in one form or another. :)

[Slackercrumbs]

epic movie about jesus...why the hell would you ban it unless you are openly against christianity and any other religion that has anything to do with jesus...this includes you jewish fellers.

it can't be any worse than reading the bible right?

[SiliconeTits]

i dunno....just what gibson did to willie walace and england (i.e how it was potrayed thru the eyes of hollywood) i think he's playing with fire myself

[nobody]

Well the movie is finally out. Anybody seen it yet?

No,and I'm not going to.I know the ending,so why bother??

[Sutty]

i've heard it's spoken entirely in latin and there are subtitiles. It's meant to be one of the most brutal fims ever and it's there quite a few parts that are not based on actual parts of the bible. I'm not a believer as a matter of fact, but the film still interests me for some reason.

[BNF]

@sutty
aramaic langauge....;)

Then again as long as Monica Bellucci is in it, that's reason enough for me...:D

[Lord_mordor]

Can you believe Bruce Almighty is banned also !!

[SiliconeTits]

LOL

it was jews who wanted to ban TPOC....because basically there the ones that slaughter christ....acording to the film....not sure about the bible...but i think they did it in there too...so i dont see what the uproar is......

ive seen it now....have to admit i was quite surprised...very good...bit overly violent...but the actual story is excellent...long as you can look past the religious propoganda and just watch it as a ben hur type...then your ok

[parker]

I've seen some reviews for this film that sound very interesting... I think I'll see it.

BTW: Anyone ever noticed that, most of the time, the people trying to get a movie banned haven't even bothered to see it first?
;)

[CJNeverWinter]

i admit i am an atheist and i dont want to see it. it doesnt even look entertaining to me.

[NAMOR]

I saw it. It was pretty violent. There was one part in the middle of the movie that was hard to watch.

[JimmyDook]

Saw it.

Great movie.

[georges]

this film is one of the most antisemitic according to many opinions and many of my texan friends were disgusted of this film.this film valorizes antisemitism rather than realism and objectivity, gibson gave his own of the passion of the christ so this film isn't reference.the film hasn't been on screens on france till yet.

Not only the jews didn't want to ban this film silitits but other people like orthodox people wanted it get banned too why because its strictly the personal view of mr gibson.According to what i have heard on the radio Gibson is a member of a radical catholic group, so for those who think mel gibson is that bright and so good please stop to believe all that is said.

regards

georges:) ;)

[SiliconeTits]

hate tp be the thorn in the butt but they aint his ideas.....this film is a remake of an old film which aint no different...starred william defoe and was pretty good

dont get me wrong mel gibson is an idiot for changing history and all..but he's not responcilbe for this other then to much violence

[parker]

I hate to talk too much about a movie I haven't seen yet but I know enough to say that "Passion" is not a re-make of The Last Temptation of Christ ... assuming that's the Dafoe film you're refering to. From what I understand, Passion of Christ basically focuses on a very specific part of the Bible, that being the Fourteen Stations of the Cross (where Jesus carries the cross to the place of his crucifixion, all the while being mocked, tortured, spat upon... look it up if you don't know the rest...). I admit I'm not well-versed when it comes to the Bible, but I'm fairly sure that the true severity of Jesus' suffering is only glossed upon. Gibson's intent was to tell this part of the story; to show the "passion" it takes to endure that kind of pain and humiliation without giving up.

I for one find that quite moving, and even though I don't consider myself all that religious, I don't think that's a requirement to liking the movie.

[SiliconeTits]

ok

passion of the christ is a remake of one part of the last temptation of christ is that better?...lol

same cover same jist only not really specifically blaming jews for all the violence in the bible....

[Big Boy]

Hey georges if you can reasonably tell me how it was antisematic ill show you a green dog.

[SiliconeTits]

dude everyone is saying thats its antisomethingorother....all depeneds what religion you are in....its obvious why the christians love it....cause well their thge guid guys aint they??? *hic*

[Sutty]

Someone told me they filmed an alternative ending for the DVD.

because it blatantly shows jews as responsible of the death of jesus christ if you knew that mel gibson belongs to an extremist christian group you would have changed your point of view.

just giving you my opinion

georges :) ;)

[jdeanner]

I have seen the movie a few times and i am not by no means into the christ thing.. But growing up i was rasied christian and have read the bible a few times and the movie it's self is really just like reading the bible and picturing it in your mind..the reason i think for all the crap that he has been getting is because its about "christ" the thing you don't talk down upon..And the movie depects romans,jews and other races putting there part into the killing of christ..It just seems to be that jews are more soft hearted about things ..well thats my two cents..

[SiliconeTits]

[Laibach]

I saw it last night and its still in my head, just figured I'd post about it...Yea it is a long winded post, sorry...

I was raised Catholic. Today I do not consider myself anything, I claim no religion. There are some things about the bible I believe and some I don't and there are many things about the Catholic church I despise. And as far as Christianity on a whole, born again's and "Jesus Freaks" creep me out. But I have no problem with Christians that do not push their ideals on me, claim that I am going to hell, or treat me as inferior... So I don't follow anything other than my instinct or my heart. Organized religion of any kind just isn't for me. That being said it was still difficult just to watch this as a "movie" without letting my upbringing interfere with my thoughts on the film.

But as a "Movie" it was fucking amazing. It was fucking beautifully shot, the cinematography was breath taking, every inch of celluloid was like a renaissance painting. It was just amazing to look at. And the atmosphere through out the film was incredibly tense. The entire film had this dreadful feeling to it and I don't have the writing skills to even begin to do it justice. Satan in the film is used so very effectively, the character really gives you the chills. It’s very subtle but very effective. The film does have a strong "super natural" tone. Demons, Satan, and all sorts of shit. Jesus seems "otherworldly" his eyes have a strange glow throughout the film, I assume to symbolize that he is not an ordinary man... There is also a lot of other symbolism that I could spend hours talking about, most of it will probably be lost to someone that isn't familiar with the Bible. But so much care and hard work went into this epic. Every inch of this film was so well planned out. I was in utter amazement by what I was seeing...

And yes the movie is as violent as everyone is saying, for the most part it is 2 hours of torture on the screen. It is hard to believe the film got an R. Any other film with these levels of violence would have an NC-17 for sure... It’s not only violent and gory but it is sadistic as hell. Its rough, a real rough ride. It’s so tragic and sad. But again the violence in the film is just as beautifully shot as the rest of the film. Mel Gibson uses the blood as paint for his canvas. I don't want to give anything away but there is a shot at the end of the film that could have been a scene out of Shogun Assassin...
There has never been anything like this, ever, and there never will be again. This is fucking it folks.

Filming it in the original languages of that time really added to the film. If it were in English it wouldn't have worked. It gave the film a sense of realism. Idiots that bitch and complain about subtitles make me fucking sick. Some asshole behind me in the theatre kept saying shit like: "Ah man, I gotta read this!" "Movies that you gotta read suck". I wish this prick would have kept his ass at home. Open your fucking minds a little people, fuck! I hate ignorant fucks like this.

Is it Anti-Semitic? NO. In order for the film to be anti-Semitic it would have to say that all Jewish people are evil pieces of shit. But I guess that everyone has forgotten that Jesus was Jewish, all of his disciples were Jewis, his mother was Jewish. The film has plenty of sympathetic Jewish characters, not all Jewish portrayed in the film are evil. But the simple fact is that the Pharisees wanted Jesus DEAD because he threatens their leadership, shit on their teachings, and in their eyes was Blasphemous. They wanted him dead and they had the Romas kill him. This is the way the story goes. It’s the way it is in the Bible and the film was based on the stories. The Pharisees are no more "evil" in the film then they are in the Gospels. So if the movie is anti-Semitic then so is the bible. Look, Jewish followers don't agree with the New Testament so why would they agree with the film? And why does anybody give a fuck? "Shut your fucking holes"...

The media is all over the story that Mel Gibson's father is an Anti-Semite. So my question is, what the fuck does that have to do with the movie? Mel Gibson's father doesn't have shit to do with this movie! Mel Gibson is his own person and he shouldn't have to answer for what his father has said. It really pisses me off that some Jewish people are talking shit before having seen the film and using the director's father as proof that the film is anti-Semitic... FUCKING BULLSHIT. I have a friend and his Father killed his mother. So does this mean my friend can't get married and have a normal relationship? Is he destined to kill his wife as well just because his father was a murder? Fuck no, he is his own person. People need to get the fuck off of this, its wrong...

So did the movie make me want to go to Church? No. Did it make me think. Yes I'm still thinking about it. Did it make me want to kill some J-E-W-S. No. And what exactly is this movie? Some will say it’s a religious propaganda film. Some will say it’s an art film. Some will say it’s a gore movie. And some will say it’s enlightening. In my opinion its a little of all these things. But what was cool was that it wasn't one of those lame cheesy bible movies that you have seen before. Fuck that tame shit. The Bible is a violent book and its about time someone made a film based on the bible that reflects that. This is brutal and tragic. Go see it

cant remember what it said for the life of me now...but i wasnt critising you in an evil way georges...not intentially anyways....just thought it might offend others/....but good o for removing whateva it said

[Phil77]

Hate to burst everyones bubble, but it was the jews who were responsible for Jesus' death. Saying so doesn't make you antisemitic.

What did georges sig say anyway?/ Leave it to you silitits to always find something offensive in others peoples opinions. It's called freedom of speech, at least here in the US.

BTW, I found this movie to be very brutal yet very moving, the theatre was as silent as it can get, you could hear a pin drop. So many people crying and smiffling. Easily the best movie I have ever seen, and definitely plan on getting the DVD on August 31.

If you'd have seen the sig, you would've found it offensive too. That's why it was taken down, it glorified rape. Georges has apologised for his mistake and it's all in the past now.

[SiliconeTits]

cheers sutty dude...i remember now :-)

Thanks for answering my original question Sutty. All I wanted to know. Sounds like something goerges would do by removing it in order to not offend people.

[georges]
