Everybody is always talking about the movie The Passion of the Christ. I haven't seen it yet. Its probably a good movie and all.........but i also think its kinda disrespectful. I think its disrespectful to make a movie to make money off of the death of Christ. Yeah people go to the movie to learn about him and everything.....well they can go to church to learn. You will learn alot more about him at church than you will watching a movie on the last 12 hours of his life. But i dont know. Thats just me........

mel gibson didnt make the movie to make money off the death of christ. he did it to show everyone what actually happend. what jesus went through because of OUR sins. the actor who played jesus did it for free, out of his faith. this is one of the biggest outreaches ever, so many people will be saved or changed forever because of it. Most of the people who go to the movie already know about it, they're going to strengthen their christianity, and the ones who arent christians will hopefully become one as a result of it. true, you can go to church and learn about it, but lets not forget that its not JUST the last 12 ours of his life, its the rest of ours.

so yeah, i strongly disagree.

I didn't know about the whole Mel Gibson thing and his money. I was just stateing my opinion on how i felt about it, not that i knew the whole story and that my opinion was right or anything. But yeah, i guess i see your point and opinion.

I went and saw the movie tonight. My entry was just my opinion with no thought to it. It just kinda seems like its disrespectful to make a movie and make money off of Jesus. But i saw the movie and yeah i see your point and everything. It was hard to watch.

however, he's not making money off of jesus... thats a really stupid sentence. that wasnt his purpose in making the movie, he didnt do it for himself........

i have to agree w/ erika. i can see where you are coming from... but they aren't in it to make money. like she said... that actor did it for free and mel gibson put 25 million dollars of his own money into it. they did it to show everyone what jesus went through... and that movie only shows a small portion of what really happened... he got beat for almost a day straight... not just a half an hour or however long it lasts in the movie.
