I plan to see this, my sister says it was pretty graphic. I'll probably go see it tomorrow perhaps this will "Awaken" my long time Christianity, (Yea it'* been sleeping for quite awhile now)

I'm pleased with the way this topic is going. It had the potential to turn sour very quickly.

Although I'm not a particularly religious person (I do have my beliefs), I do intend to see this movie. Mel Gibson has a knack for producing and directing EPIC masterpieces. I'm very impressed with his acting and directing. I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Is it true the whole thing is in ancient Hebrew or something, and sub-titled???

No, Swahili. And they give you an English-Swahili dictionary when you buy your tickets.

yea its in sub-titles, but ive been told it requires very low amounts of words to understand.

Oh, man.... I like to read, but who wants to read an entire movie......

I'm not a religious person, but I do have a few that have seen it they liked it only way I'll see it is once its out on hbo or something, I'm all for foren an subtitled movies but I dont think I'd care to much for that

im not a religous guy, but i am going to see this one.
I heard it is EXTREAMLY graphic
a woman veiwer actually had a heart attack and died while watching the movie.

Saw it yesterday . . . er . . . . Friday. VERY violent. It will seriously mess you up regardless. Almost 2 hrs of non stop violence. DO NOT TAKE KIDS!!!!!!!! Not much to read, just a sentance or 2 now and then. What tells the story is the violence not the dialogue. When the movie was over everyone left the theater speachless. I've never seen that.

There are some interesting things to consider even if you are not religious (ie historical perspective). I'm not really sure if the movie is good or bad. If you do not care for Jesus as a spiritual or historical figure, I would not recommend going. If you are even slightly Christian (no matter the particular flavor), you will be moved or in my case . . . . . . . I really can't put into words the way I felt leaving the theater.

PS the language that is spoken throught the movie is Aramaic, the language that was spoken by Jesus and others in that region at the time. The Romans in the move are speaking Latin.
