The Passion- Review - "Nothing in my existance could have prepared me"
There've been a ton of emails and forwards floating around recently from those who've had the privilege of seeing Mel Gibson's "The Passion Of The Christ" prior to its actual release. I thought I'd give you my reaction after seeing it last night.

1. Well written review - I do note some folks were not as positive as your
review, but it is good that the movie moved you.

Now I have to see it!

3. Are you Jody Dean? And did you even see this movie?

Because that's who wrote this review -- it is on several different websites, some of which have a decidedly anti-semitic tilt. You kind of make it sound like you saw the movie and wrote the review, when your post is a straight cut-and-paste. This borders on plagarism.

edited for grammar

-- and to add that I think the reviewer is a religious nutcase, after reading the entire review.

5. rense.com has this review,
along with several crazier articles/reviews that are written by people who at least admit they are christian fundamentalists.

But Gibson is a Holocaust-denier, he belongs to a bizarre splinter sect of christianity that does not recognize the Pope or the 2nd Vatican council which stated Jews did not kill Christ, etc., his father was stridently anti-semitic and also a Holocaust denier -- how far does he fall from the tree?

Anyway, I know all this is a hotbutton issue so whatever. :eyes: If you love his movie, good for you. But you still haven't said if you've seen it.
