I absolutely hope that Mel makes a "prequel". I would love to see the same treatment given to Jesus' ministry before the crucifixion. I am ready to commit to seeing it at least twice and buying the DVD! Just think, a film about his entire ministry on Earth would be something that parents would be willing to take their kids to see.

The goal of Jesus' entire ministry on Earth was in the last twelve hours. Without that final act, all His preceding works would have been meaningless. All parents should take their children to see this film.

I wouldn't say meaningless, but his ministry was definitely made whole by his death. I think that to say his ministry would have been meaningless sort of belittles his teachings. That's just my opinion.

"All parents should take their children to see this film."

I can't agree with that. Young children might not be able to comprehend the violence nor might they be able to put it into perspective. Parents should use their own discretion, but I personally wouldn't invite a child younger than 12.
