yeah, after having the bootleg dvd of The Passion of the Christ, I finally got around to looking at the thing. I have to say, that I wasn't really impressed. Maybe if I were a more spiritual person or whatever, it would've been a different story, but this definitely didn't "move" me like everyone said it would. The only thing that made this "jesus movie" stand out from the countless others is the incredibly graphic brutality of his torture and cruxifiction (I just had to rewind the whipping part as well as the dislocated shoulder sequence). Other than that, it was just...... meh.
The chick they casted as Satan made me laugh along with her ugly little "man baby", whatever the hell that was supposed to be. I didn't get the part where the annoying little "demon children" were chasing Judas all over the place right before he hung himself. I laughed my ass off when the crow pecked out that dude's eye. I was hoping I would get to see Mary Magdelene get naked, but that didn't happen. Oh yeah, I couldn't help but notice that Jesus, once again, is played by a WHITE GUY. Everyone knows that Jesus wasn't white! The real Jesus would look more MIDDLE EASTERN than anything and no, I don't mean some dark haird white guy with a tan. Stupid Euro-church propaganda! Sigh....at least he didn't have blonde hair and blue eyes like he's usually depicted by "the church".
Anyway, for all you people thinking I'm going to hell for watching a bootleg of The Passion, FUCK YOU! It's not like this was an actual documentary, filmed by the almighty itself depicting the final days of Christ, IT'S A MOVIE!! Made by some overrated aging Australian movie star who seems to have a love affair with slow motion and extreme close-ups, who just happens to have enough money to express his version of the cruxifiction on film. I reserve the right to view the bootleg without fear of being struck down by God. I also reserve the right to give my own personal review about this movie which just happens to be the opposite of what most people thought. Oh well..... I'm not losing any sleep over it.
If I wake up with a plague of frogs in my room and festering boils on my skin, then I may change my mind.
