The Passion Of The Christ

[Vultch]

Any thoughts, comments, about this upcoming movie?
It's supposed to be as historically accurate as possible about the final days of Christ before the cross.
Why couldnt it be in English??? Mel Gibson is english like the rest of us, it doesnt have to be done like a foreign film. I HATE subtitles. Most movies like that I prefer waiting for the DVD so I can have the English language track (ex: Crouching Tiger, Brotherhood Of The Wolf), and when it comes time for the DVD I hope they include an Eng track!

However.... I may go see it in theaters anyway just so I can hear the song by David Hodges & Ben Moody (both formerly of Evanescence) in the movie. :wink:

i can't wait for this film to come out....just think man, Gibson didn't want it to have subtitles at all....

i think this will be a great film...it's already getting criticized.....but hey....if the Pope liked it, then that should count for something, haha....

all the big and theaters are being rented out by churches where I live and people are going to be allowed in for free. They are evening renting them out completely in Dallas area! It's supposed to be amazing. It's about the final hours of Christs' life. Young children won't be allowed in due to some of the graphic material from what I've been told.

I know! Which scares me there might not be an English track later.

I didn't know it wasn't in English.

I saw something where they were previewing the movie to invited people like clergy etc. They all seemed impressed. I want to see it.

I think he should've stuck with the no subtitle idea  You could follow the story line without them. . .That would have been interesting.  Perhaps the DVD will have a NO SUBTITLE, option  . . . hehehe

(not to mention I'm not allowed to agree with kev eh eh)

i like subtitles better because i can't take a movie seriously when the words don't match the lips. I keep thinking Sunday afternoon kung fu theater. LOL
Also, since I could understand Crouching Tiger in Chinese I realized how inaccurate the translation is. I couldn't understand every word because I only know conversational Chinese but they could've made it more interesting by using more appropriate translation. It was funnier than it appeared in English.

Apparently the pope approved of the movie (my religion teacher told us). He said something like, "It is as it is" or something along those lines.

"It is as it was"

Urgh! It's not going to be as good as JCS (not to mention you can't have a very good musical with subtitles ) but I have plans to MAKE AN ATTEMPT (ADD) to watch it.

PS The subtitles thing, it's not like if there WEREN'T subtitles, people wouldn't know what's going on. Seriously, "I wonder how this ends . . ." But there was something about, like Brian said, how Gibson's original plan was to NOT have them, and the whatever was like, 'No, we have to have subtitles for those American retards', or something. :\

if I wanted to read the movie, I'd grab my Bible.

I dont go to movies to read.

[LimeTwister]

wow i was looking for the name of this the other day...I want to see it!  It looks really interesting.

I saw the preview on some show on like ABC, and that was the first/last time too.  It said there was a big controversy around it, but for somereason I haven't heard about it.  They are also not advertising it here for some reason...maybe once it gets closer to opening?

[sayyouwould]

I won't be seeing it.

[Alecs]

I won't be seeing it.

that's too bad

[Vultch]

ugh! Screw Mel Gibson and his stupid movie. The soundtrack has been canned.

*boycotts*
