So much fear over a true legacy film - The Passion of the Christ Reviews

Hollywood and the media were so full of fear over this movie - when i saw it last night, i was excited for the possibility of seeing a movie that was not "hollywoodized." i was not disappointed. i kept asking: how will this (incident) be shown, how will that (incident) be shown...and when i got the answers: WOW! the role of Pilot was expert, his wife Claudia, i have a new respect for her. the way Judas was treated, all to perfection in how you see his "demons" hound him to his death. just when you think the suffering would end, it got worse. when you think there is no more good, good is revealed. at the end, i was wondering - how are they going to end this? and then, WOW! the perfect ending. mel gibson has done what no hollywood producer could have - create a legacy film, something families can look to for inspiration. when it comes out on DVD, this will be the movie i will want to watch on easter sunday - the day that cecil b. demille's "Ten Commandments" is traditionally viewed in my home. much fear was generated by the media about the anti-semitic messages of this movie. it is strange that i heard any media/religious tv person mention that the bible too, therefore, must be anti-semetic...if this movie is. given that the bible was the source for the movie. i travelled to germany to watch the oberammergau passion play, which is held only once every ten years. following that 2-day event, i didn't feel any increased animosity against any person or group. following this movie, the barometer of my feelings remains level. sometimes i wish the media would just shut up and watch itself - they should be ashamed of themselves.
