Looks good, can't wait.

This has the makings of one of those really intense films that will leave you drained when you meander back to you car.

[what's up]

Love Mel Gibson.

Little quirky on his feeling that the mass should be in the language of ancient Rome, though.

[TAdams8591]

Mel's right on about what happened to the church after the second vatican council!

The actor's speak in two dead languages? That will be interesting to see/hear!

NEVER FORGET

...With his -Fighting for Freedom- Motion Picture Trilogy of .."BRAVEHEART".., .."The PATRIOT".. and .."WE WERE SOLDIERS"..

...MEL GIBSON has become our new much needed JOHN WAYNE in a new -Time of War- in a new Century with an Enemy that is now just around the corner and up our street.

...No wonder MEL GIBSON is suddenly coming under attack as the Enemy Within HILLARY RODHAM assumes her new seat on our U.S. Senate's super secret Armed Services Committee to do us even more harm.


The Enemy is now Within and always has been.

It could win an Oscar for best foreign language film.

But to be frank, subtitles might be a good idea.

I can see the first negative review now: "The Book was better." ;)

Looks good.....

Sounds bad.
The whole thing is in Aramaic, with no subtitles.
Sheesh!

THE DOLOROUS PASSION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

[B-Chan]

Gibson is a more truculent Catholic. He scorns the Second Vatican Council, which in the 1960s replaced the Latin Mass with the liturgy in the language of the people and lots of perky folk songs. To Gibson, Vatican II "corrupted the institution of the church. Look at the main fruits: dwindling numbers and pedophilia."

Right freaking on, Mr. Gibson.

Although I do not "scorn" any Council of the Church, it's obvious that to some the so-called Spirit of VII was simply an excuse to open a Pandora's box of satanic infiltration into the Church -- many of the "reforms" seen since then have proven to be attempts to Protestantize, paganize, or otherwise dilute and destroy authentic Christian worship within the Body of Christ.

Well, the Arians thought they'd beaten Him too -- and they were wrong. Long after the fads and fancies are gone, the authentic Church will exist. As our parish priest wryly notes, "the Age of Aquarius can't go on forever".

Mel has the cojones of Benjamin Martin.

If it's hard for the actors to speak their lines, it will be a challenge for the audience too: Gibson wants to show the film without subtitles. "The audience will have to focus on the visuals," he says. "But they had silent films before talkies arrived, and people went to see them."

I understand this, but I am not all about it. But kudos to Mel and Jim. I adore them both and have been watching them for a long time.

[Shooter 2.5]

Monica Bellucci is in this movie?? Wow!

She was the Italian in "Brotherhood of the Wolf".

[Dr. Frank fan]

Gibson wants to show the film without subtitles.

This is the part that ticks me off. I would be really excited about the film but he wants us to not understand the dialogue.

I really, really, really hope he comes to his senses about this. It's completely wrongheaded. I don't even know where to begin. What the heck would be the harm in putting subtitles?
