The Passion of the Christ is arriving on DVD tomorrow[ I wrote this yesterday]. When the movie first opened , publicists used some freak occurances - I recall a case of a man who saw the film on the theaters handed himself in for commiting a crime he was found innocent some years before- as pretty effective publicity for the film. Beign an atheist , I didn't really felt the urgency to see the film ,but a friend of mine invited me to a church sponsored showing . So why not?
I really liked the film from a cinematic point of view : the film looked great , the atmosphere was just perfect , and Satan looked pretty compeling. The film didn't really hit the nail when it came to it's true purpose.
I have to admit that I went in pretty skeptical , which may have greatly affected my judgement , but I saw the film as a guilt trip aimed at converting you to christianity. Jesus suffered because we are malignant-narcisist pigs that enjoy hurting others. But ,why would I feel guilty for something I didn't do? I have never enjoyed seeing others suffer , not even verbally. I wasnt even there.
But who am I to question Mel Gibson? He is good looking , catholic , and rich.
