I hope that this helps for those who have been concerned about the movie based upon what they have been seeing and hearing. GO SEE THIS MOVIE. By the way, I stand by every comment I made in a previous post about the larger political and cultural implications and ramifications of this film. Now just as the world is polarized pre and post 9/11 it will be polarized pre and post Passion. You may read that post

"Those of us who believe that Mary was a mere woman..."
No critisism here on your wonderful review. I still can't comprehend the above statement.
Yes, I was raised Catholic, but more importantly, I was not raised Anti-Catholic but if you believe that Jesus Christ was truly the Son of GOD, how could NOT Mary be more than a "mere woman" ???
Please let's not debate this (this time around) - Let us discuss this movie without the prejudiced remarks.

I've chatted with three VERY Christian women who don't know if they can make it through the whole film - and, more than likely, won't go to see it.
I'm sure the DVD release will make it into even more homes - maybe just in time for Christmas...

How dare they laugh in the face of such agony! How dare they spit on Him!
They had no choice. It was all foretold hundreds of years earlier, and there was no other way it could have happened.

Let the review stand, please. The Mary remark is not anti-Catholic, he gave both sides. Maybe we should start another thread. ;)

Thank you for the review. Although I am not inclined to watch violence, I am going to see this movie. I feel the need for something to make my faith more solid, and I believe this film has been sent by God for just such a pupose.

Thank you. As a Freeper, I trust other Freepers. As a Jew, I trust other Freepers.

With all respect, as a Protestant I do believe Mary was more than a mere woman, in much the same sense that Moses was more than a mere man. They transcend "mere" men and women because they were specially chosen by God to perform a special mission on his behalf.
It does sound like a good topic for discussion on some other thread.

Those who see the relationship between Jesus and Mary who are Catholic will likely see Mary as divineCatholics see Mary as the first Christian, the first follower of Jesus, the one who said 'yes' to God and cooperated with the Holy Spirit - not divine, that is a Protestant misunderstanding of Catholicism.

Could you go into a little more depth about this? Specifically, I'm wondering about a scene where Jesus is chained and thrown or dangled from a bridge. Did that scene stand out to you, assuming it's really in the movie?

Thank you for this heartfelt review. I cannot wait to see this movie, and yet I fear seeing this movie more than anything in my life.
I know that the Lord gave himself for my salvation, but I cannot help but feel unworthy of seeing his sacrifice. I do not want to see Jesus suffer, because I know he does it for me. My heart will feel the sting of each blow, and my soul will cry out for them to stop.

What Wayne said. Please.
To: WayneM; jonboy
Would "mortal" be a better word choice than "mere" and still make the point?
