"The Passion" was NOT BLOODY ENOUGH!!!"

This movie is by it's very nature more graphic than the bible which did NOT come with pictures. All one is ever required to do to understand the passion of Christ is to READ the gospels and meditate on them. Nobody has to make a movie about it. Nobody has to go see a movie about it. And nobody has to like a movie about it.

DESTROYTHEDEMOCRATS WROTE: "This movie is by it's very nature more graphic than the bible which did NOT come with pictures."

No, the film is NOT more graphic than the Bible! It is nowhere close! Please reread the Scripture I quoted in post 299 which I partially quote below. The Bible's description is FAR more graphic than the film:

"...His appearance so disfigured beyond that of any man and His form marred beyond human likeness."

Could you not tell the actor playing Jesus was still a man? I could. He wasn't "so disfigured beyond that of any man" or "His form marred beyond human likeness" or neither of us would be able to recognize the actor as a man. Indeed, Jesus was so marred that even His Disciples did not recognize him at first after His resurrection.

What's next? A 2 hour long computer generated virtual reality program where you stand 2 feet away from Christ as he's tormented, railed against and crucified? This is the only way to get closer to the PASSION "experience" than Mel's movie
