To give Hollyweird even the slightest glance or credibility would be like throwing pearls to swine.

Personally, I do not hold their view in high regard. In my opinion, the way Mel Gibson transformed the most important event in Christian history from the Bible to the big screen was nothing short of magnificent. And that, along w/the success of the movie despite the Hollyweird elite snubbing it, should be very satisfying for many.

As American's, we have the freedom to spend our money when and where we like. If some of us choose to boycott Hollyweird, I support that choice. But I don't loose sleep at night fretting over how the industry denies being anti-Christian while at the same time spewing out the filth which they do against us, and whether or not I should do this or that to send a message. Besides, they're not listening anyway.

The Lord is the Lord, and no Hollyweird agenda is going to shake Him. It certainly isn't too much for him to handle, and we should feel reassured in that truth.

Brilliant moviemaking.....production values were outstanding......the tear dropping from heaven was inspired, as one memorable example.

Mel had a very difficult subject matter that was known and loved by by millions upon millions of Christians and had to overcome aspects of tranferring the story to the big screen---no easy task.

Mel mastered all the nuances of the original story and mounted a visual, technical and and literate masterpiece.
