For me it is surprising that the Passion of the Christ is not more polarizing.
Even, or perhaps especially, as a Christian, although I appreciated it, it was brutal to watch. The violence felt very visceral. This was a movie I rate highly, but can’t say that I enjoyed watching.
- CoastalCoder 3y agoAgreed. I guess the explicit brutality makes sense if the goal is to help audiences understand the price that Jesus is said to have voluntarily endured. But even Southpark reckoned it was a lot of brutality to see.
- h2odragon 3y agoPoC was explicit gore porn, extremely well done. I've never understood how that was supposed to advance the actual messages of Christ that people find moving and helpful. I don't think it was. "The Revenant" had some of the same grinding brutality. We were allowed to say "this is just gore porn with no redeeming value" there, tho.
- razakel 3y agoIt's not really the sort of movie you'd watch if you weren't Christian or interested in religion.
