    I find it so interesting that so many religious groups are up in arms over this movie. Yeah, I know why, but it still is interesting.

    The movie portrays the last days of Jesus' life as it really was, he was branded a crazy man and a traitor to the country. 95% of the people hated him and either thought that he was a stupid moron, ranting lunatic or a snob who thought that he was better than everyone else. Rocks were thrown at him as he carried the cross, most of the crowd did jeer at him, spit on him and call him names. Most of what the movie protrays is how it would really have happened. Jesus would not have walked amongst a quiet reserved crowd that bowed before him and threw petals for him to walk on as he carried his cross. Just like people gathered 100 years ago for hangings and 400 years ago for beheadings, people would have gathered 2,000 years ago to watch a crucifixion.

    And the fact that religious groups are upset that his last days are portrayed in a more truthful manner and not through rose-colored glasses is what interests me. Talk about revisionist history.

    I'll probably skip this one, unless my friend drags me to it. Looks pretty well done though.

    Im seeing an advanced showing, tonight in fact. 5 hours! I'll tell you all how it was, but the again I am religious, so my opinion will be rather biased.

    I'll see it. Preferably this weekend. My pinky finger hurts too much to see it opening night.

    I'll almost certainly see it (when it's out on DVD of course). Biblical history interests me. I already saw one likely historical inaccuracy just in the few seconds they showed on CNN. It'll be fun to watch for that reason if for no other. But the stories themselves are fun to read. I'm sure it'll be entertaining.

    Hmm...I'll probably rent or buy it DVD. I mean, it's not subtitled, and I'm not a believer in christ. However, it does look rather interesting.

    Really? I could've sworn I heard it wasn't subtitled somewhere....hmm. Anyway, I'll think I'll wait to catch it on DVD anyhow. =P Somethng about seeing graphic violence on a huge screen in a dark room just irks me.

    Yes, all spoken language spoken in this film is either in Latin, Aramaic, or Hebrew. The film is subtitled... according to some site.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.
