Subtitles aren't a problem, espcially if you a familiar with the story. And, as previously stated...it is in no way a kids movie.

There are some interesting things to consider even if you are not religious (ie historical perspective). I'm not really sure if the movie is good or bad. If you do not care for Jesus as a spiritual or historical figure, I would not recommend going. If you are even slightly Christian (no matter the particular flavor), you will be moved or in my case . . . . . . . I really can't put into words the way I felt leaving the theater.

first time that I had ever went to a movie and from the start of the
movie, during and after. No one made a sound. Not even the kids.
Except for the claps at the end of the movie.
I thought it was Great! I don't think it is for younger kids that do not
already know the story of Jesus. But I think we can all get something
out of this movie even if your not spiritual. Like what most of you who
seen it said, it made you think!
Well one thing I got out of the movie was a new understanding of what real
love and sacrifice is. And after all they did to him he still prayed for them!
I don't know a Great Love then that.
But it gets even deeper then that.....but I not going to go there know.
But I will say that this story is not just a religious one. It'* a story that all
men should hear and know. A True Love story...........

I totally agree about the faith thing, and I think its more the little things that get turned around and mistaken not the big parts of the event, I guess thats why I am going to be a history teacher as I usually have to have physical proof of something before I believe in it. (yes I know that can lead to a bleak outlook on life but I have lost a lot of "faith" in recent times seeing what goes on with people who worship yet have horrible things happen to them)

I'm waiting for video because I have a hard time watching anything really graphic on the big screen ...It'* one thing to watch it....but it'* another to see it larger than life in a stifled, darkened room ...but I'm very curious to see it just because it'* supposed to be so moving and it sounds pretty educational from a theological standpoint...

I saw it Saturday and it is an excellent movie. If you are a Christian you get to see exactly what Jesus went through for all of us. It was horrific the things they did to him. It makes you be thankful to be saved and makes you feel unworthy for the sacrifice he made to die for our sins. It is a powerful movie that I highly recommend to everyone. I also support the Left Behind books as another way of showing you how things might play out. Both follow scripture and show you things that will come to pass.

I am in pretty much the same boat as Jeff here. I just wanted to add that for those of you who saw it, and it made you think. I would encourage all of you to try to go a little deeper, figure out why it made you think, and why you felt the way you did after the movie. I was the same way when i got out of it.... speechless. I am a firm believe in "seek and ye shall find" After the movie i "seeked" out why the movie affected me the way it did. I found the same things as jeff... that is showed me that I did that to him, when i sin.. I spit on his face, yet he loves me so much to do all that for me. Amazing... thats all i got to say. Thanks for reading, i know i'm coming from a diffrent place than some of you, but i just thought what better place to share than here?
