Was it that good of a movie? Really? Would it have been enjoyable and or meaningful to non Christian me?

Movies that make the most money aren't always the best movies.

I can't speak for you. I felt it was one of the most powerful films I have ever seen.
I suppose it depends on how open minded you are?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

That's a good question. It really was a work of art, and I think non-Christian you would have appreciated that aspect of it. You probably like Handel's Messiah just because it is beautiful music. Or Michelangelo's David, or things such as that. The Passion of the Christ was art at that level. Seriously. It was beautiful, whether it has religious significance or not. And it is educational to those who maybe understand little about the Christian message or redemption. So yes. I think you might enjoy it.

[Tempest]

It's a powerful, moving and emotional film. But it's not good in the traditional sense. Very graphic yet thought provoking beyond just it's gory surface.

It definitely fit the criteria to be considered by the academy, yet sadly it wasn't.

I've long said that Mel Gibson supports Mel Gibson.
I have not seen the movie although I know folks who have and found it quite moving.
I reckon Mel is glad for the money, and cares not a whit for the award.

Well, then, folks, it is time to put our money where our mouths are and stop going to the movies..........except on the rarest of occasions. We can also discontinue watching the awards shows.
