A must see, not just for christians - The Passion of the Christ Reviews

After months of controversy and news about this film, really, there is no suprise what will be in this film. That's why I dont understand why there are still so many people and critics trying to make such a big deal out of it. Yes, this film is bloody, it is not a pleasant experience, but what do you expect? This is a sacrafice we are talking here. There is really nothing so "offensive" about this film. This is an event almost everyone in the western world knows about, reads about, reminds about in a constant basis. This is not a new and shocking revelation. So all I am saying here is, this is a film everyone should watch, just so everyone can have a perspective about this film, without the fogs from the media and others. Personally I dont have any special feeling after coming out of the theatre, but the power and intensity of this film is one that few can match. I cannot rate it, since this is not a film to entertain, and though I dont come away with anything spiritual, I will cherish the two hours as a memorable experience. Jesus died, and according to the Bible, he died for our sins. It was his plan all along, and it was not because of the Jews he died. This is the foundation of the Christian believe, which most people should understand. So why do people and the media have to mix up everything and complains about these as-a-matter-of-facts? Yes, this film is violent, but that's what Mel Gibson intended. He wants to show how much Christ suffers because of our sins. He wants to reveal a message, to reach out to his fellow people. The gory in this film, in his eyes, is not intentional to attract(like Kill Bill), but a necessity to realize his vision. And really, if getting put on a cross is not bloody in the first place, I dont know what is. So the subject itself is what it is, and I dont think Mel Gibson exaggerates the scenes. This is a film that will go down as a classic, a milestone, just like Pulp Fiction did ten years ago, or Taxi Driver twenty plus years ago. These very films were not generally accepted when they were first released, but gradually their magnificent couldnt be ignored. Most people might not like it, but even more wont forget about it. (I just find out I have to give an overall grade, seems like this is a must)
