The film is faithful to the Gospel, particularly St. John.

And best of all is a final look right into the camera of Mary, holding her dead Son. Mary is perfectly portrayed here..... She is contrasted repeatedly with the really super creepy Satan character, who is also a woman (something for the feminist theologians here? heh heh...).

Obviously my bible must be missing a few pages from the book of John...I don't remember any of these scenes....

...obviously...

[proust]

I don't remember that either.. although adding something like that is super creepy indeed..

Oh for Pete's sake! I do hope that's sarcasm on your part, because if not, then you know nothing of the art of movie-making.

[what's up]

Uh, oh...you're asking for trouble...

Seriously, I'm looking forward to the movie too, but will try to ignore all the extra-Biblical Marian undertones.

John 19.25-30. Blessed Mary was at the foot of the cross throughout the crucifixion. Are you going to tell me Christ's own mother would not have waited for Him to be brought down to hold His Body and tell Him goodbye? See also Luke 23.50-56, Mark 15.42-47, and Matthew 27.57-61, where it is said Mary and Mary Magdalene helped Joseph of Arimathea bury Jesus.

You Protestants should REALLY try reading your Bibles sometime, instead of reading your prejudices. The ignorance and disdain I constantly see displayed about Blessed Mary is appalling!

And I'll bet that description of Jesus is missing, too.

You may want to read your bible a little more carefully.

From St. John 19:

38 And after this Joseph of Arimathe'a, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.

38a But Mary, mother of Jesus, upon seeing him removed from the cross, did come to him, and held him in her arms.

38b Then, as she held the body of Jesus, she did look into the camera, with a kind of "Look what you've done"/This is for you" expression.

38c And the super creepy Satan character did gnash her teeth and shake her fist in rage, for her anger was great, and the spirits of demons were in her, and she ran from that place, called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Gol'gotha, and was seen no more.

38d And the camera did dolly back, while Mary's theme was cued, and the camera did pan left to show Mary and Jesus, as part of the tableau of Gol'gotha, and create an Oscar moment.

38e Then the Director spake thus, "It is finished", and said, "Where is my latte? Verily, verily, I know I ordered a latte!". And the production crew tooketh five.

It is all there for those who care to look.

See you have an issue with the 10 Commandments as well?

[TheGunny]

Its not called the gospel of St. John! Get a grip!
