electricdisk Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 It made my stomach hurt.... Excerpt from an article by Michael Brown "The film is strongly Eucharistic. There is a beautiful juxtaposition of images that cuts from the stripping on Calvary to the unwrapping of the bread to be used at the last Supper. Fabulous stuff. Every Christian needs to see this film at least once. Just to remember, in our current comfort zones while evil is closing in, the price that was paid for us. On my way home from the screening, I found myself praying in the car, 'Jesus, I'm so sorry, I forgot...'"

cmotherofpirl Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Not only did I cry but my computer disabled itself and turned off. I don't think I could eat popcorn and watch this stuff. More likely a case of kleneex, and off to confession afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theistgal Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 (edited) You won't believe this, but remember how I said I was spending some time at a Byzantine Catholic forum? Well, there's actually a major flame war going on over there because someone (not me! I swear!!) started a thread to discuss this movie, The Passion. Apparently what started the whole blow-up is that someone mentioned the movie uses Latin, and someone else translated their response into Latin. Well, a couple of people there are furious that someone dared to speak Latin at a Byzantine chat board! Because, you see, we bad old Latin Catholics are always trying to "take over" their churches and force them to speak Latin. Which is pretty funny considering just how much Latin we actually hear at our own Masses these days! But anyway, just goes to show that when people are itchin' for a fight, all they need is an excuse ... Edited July 16, 2003 by theistgal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Huether Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 "i have my popcorn ready, now all i have to do is wait till easter 2004 and i'm set to go!" That's gunna be some OLD popcorn.

littleflower+JMJ Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 yeah, your completely right, i'll just eat it while i'm watching stuart little II or the wedding planner today ...no biggie.... but cmom is right...i don't think popcorn would be something to bother with when its going to about the Passion of Jesus because well, its not entertainment its TrUTH about the passion of Jesus and that makes all the world of difference.. just like that article said..."Every Christian needs to see this film at least once. Just to remember, in our current comfort zones while evil is closing in, the price that was paid for us. On my way home from the screening, I found myself praying in the car, 'Jesus, I'm so sorry, I forgot...'" yup, mass and confession for me too... i've read the same book that Mel Gibson followed and let me tell you it says everything...its moving just reading the book, now seeing on screen? wow! its going to be amazing, read the book if you haven't its incredible The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ....

Lil Red Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 I heard that Mel Gibson was still looking for a distrubutor for the film. Does anyone know if this is still true? I hope not. I don't want to have to drive cross country to see it, but I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennC Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 'Jesus, I'm so sorry, I forgot...'" The removal of the Crucifix in the Church, the elimination of Chruch architecture, the removal of the Sacrements, the removal from all visual representations of those who have championed before us has brought, quite successfully "out of sight out of mind" to the modern Church. I have read on message boards people who refuse to look at a Crucifix, sure it's easier to carry on without seeing what He went through, the feel good Church of today. I just came through a thread at RR on statues and idolatry, hockus pocus foolish senseless suppostition. Sorry to all but I'm felling a little angry here. He left the Sacrements, he left the Eucharist in the care of His people that they never forget what He did and went through ... don't hear the crys from the cross as we're sleeping in the garden. The trailer had quite an impact on my daughter and I, ... I used to watch the Crucifix at Christ the King Church before I would turn in for the night and picture what he went through. We're visual beings, let none of us turn away from the Cross, the Sacrements and the Eucharist most of all. Peace of Christ, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
