I have bought a copy of the DVD twice and each time gave it away without watching it.

One of our daughters-in-law saw it in a theater with a group from the church where her parents go (in Texas). Our daughter-in-law said there were parts she couldn't watch. She just covered her eyes.

I don't think I'll ever watch it again. Two times was almost more than I could take; I can still remember parts of it so vividly. But I do think everyone should watch it once. It's the only R-rated movie I would ever recommend!!

There are a few few others (R - rated) that should be seen Escape From Sobibor is one. Schindler's List another.

There were parts of it that I couldn't watch too. I know it had to happen, but the movie was so graphic. I definitely do not want to watch it again.

Probably because a lot of biblical movies have underlying doctrine that i feel contradicts the bible or I question peoples motives. Maybe I'm just not a Mel Gibson fan....


But I'd been watching a music video that had many scenes from this movie and thought I should finally watch it.

I didn't really hone in on anythinig doctrianally(for sure).....but if this is movie is even a glimpse into the level of Jesus suffering.....


I've been beside myself since last night.....

Mel Gibson is nuts, but he does make excellent movies. I wish he hadn't gone off the deep end right before Apocalypto. The whole thing with the Spanish showing up as the Maya civilization decayed was admittedly off by about three or four hundred years; but the point he made was ... um ... "spot on."
