"What made it so different than other movies about the life of Christ? It was the degree of violence."

It is the first modern movie made about the Passion of Jesus Christ, solely.

No modern movie focuses on this loving act by our God. Giving His Son for us. That is why Christians are going to see this movie.

By the fruits....So far the fruits of this movie have not been so good if this forum is any example. It seems to have torn open old wounds and fostered not love but division. Mostly political division. I think that arch-Christian conservatives had high hopes that this movie would silence all the critics of the Christian Right. That it would shame the liberals and secular critics of the Christian Right into conversion and silence so that the Christian Right would finally get the "respect they deserve." Instead nothing much has changed and the frustration is palpable and ugly -consisting of throwing good men like Krauthammer over the side. You could not find a better man than he is.

Probably the movie has helped foster private piety. But the public fallout in some applications such as ecumenism has been damaging.
