"We are talking about the single event that influenced civilization as we know it: the law, the arts, our knowledge of good and evil," Mr. Gibson says. "It has touched every possible aspect of everyone's life whether they realize it or not."

Amen, Mr. Gibson, amen

[Cap'n Crunch]

I can't wait for this one. Can't figure out how I'm going to keep from crying like a baby when I see it. I've read the book with the visions that Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich had. What a terrible way to die, I can't imagine the pain that Jesus must have suffered.

[Valin]

journalists are trying to figure out what Mr. Gibson is about

Well gee you don't suppose he's about telling a REAL GOOD STORY do you? And the fact that it really happened...well I'm going to call that a plus.

I will be very interested in how he treats that darn empty tomb, it's such an "inconvenient" thing.

MEGA BUMP!!!

[Aquinasfan]

This sounds like it will be the best Bible-based film to date. I can't wait. We need this movie.

[NYer]

Catholic bump!

[Paul Atreides]

A reverent depiction of Jesus Christ. In a related story, Hollywood readies to gear up the smear machine.

Let us all keep Mel in our prayers as it is known that evil goes after those that do works in the name of God. God found a tool in Hollywood that was fit enough for Him to use. Go Mel!!

[Marysecretary]

He is an amazing man, a man among thieves, you could say! My admiration for him grows and grows. Now the press is attacking him by going to his 85 year old father who is a very opinionated old man and digging up whatever they can to slander him. I don't want to stand next to any of these "reporters" on Judgement Day! How do they sleep at night?

I cannot wait for this to make it to the cinema. Imagine the countless number of souls Mr Gibson is going to convert, and imagine how this will transform the American Catholic Church, after years in a liberal 'dark age'. This movie will transform and bring back the reverance so badly needed at Mass

Say good bye to the goofy clown Masses, and the low content, low intellect homilies.

[Dead Dog]

Does anyone actually know how to speak the Aramaic language well enough to have been understood by the native speakers?

I hope his comments about Hebrew being a dead language don't offend Jews, I'm pretty it was just Mel's Mind/Mouth clutch slipping.

I don't know about anyone else but I will buy a copy sightunseen just to support the effort and faith that went into it's making. I also know deep in my heart that the lack of subtitles is meaningless, we will all understand.
Amen.

Is this for real? I keep expecting this report to be a hoax, but it's in the WSJ. It sounds too good to be true.

My mom and I have remarked a number of times that it has been years since the making of a good, Biblical film. Leave it to Mel Gibson to break the drought.

Anyone want to take any odds that it won't be nominated for any Oscars?

[pittsburgh gop guy]

Gibson is DA MAN!

And I just gotta give him an extra shout out because he is Catholic, and a strict one at that.

I think We Were Soldiers was one of the best movies of last year. That it did not get nominated for an OSCAR is proof that the OSCARS are nothing but pure BS!

[bethelgrad]

I am excited about this one. The movies in the past were made to reach as broad as possible. Some of them were made for evangelistic purposes. If they were made like Mel's will be they would have to tag the "R" rating on it. I hope and pray that it will cause many more to reconsider what Christ really did to secure our salvation.

[Countyline]

-- 'He came into the world and it knew Him not.' Looking at Christ's crucifixion, I look first at my own culpability in that."

Hence ... in the present day what sacrifices are we making to our belief in Christ, his teachings and message of salvation? A very appropo question indeed?

Mel is doing his part to spread the message.

[MEGoody]

Wish he'd use subtitles or translate it into English. Gibson is a bit eccentric, especially in areas of his faith, but he seems like an okay guy from what I've seen and heard.
