I went to see it tonight. Actually I just got home. I am agnostic and went into the movie with an open mind. I came out of it thinking Pontius Pilate should have cruicified all the people involved.
If you are religious, of any Christian denomination, I think it is going to increase your faith and you are going to love the movie. If you are not Christian, it is an overly gory 2 hour romp through the eyes of madmen... on all sides.
Including Jesus, his mother, and the man who aided him in carrying his cross?
I'm guessing you don't mean that literally, but the statement is coming across as somewhat odd. Not sure exactly what you mean.
My dad's ship was blown out of the water in the South China Sea during the Korean War. Almost all of his shipmates died. He told me about it. He wrote letters about it. Does a film need to be made in order to strengthen my faith that my dad's ship actually hit a mine?
