i just got back from seeing this. And all I can say is...incredible. Such an overwhelming amount of emotions will flow through you when you see this movie. I don't think there was one dry eye in that theater including my own. It is SOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOO graphic; unlike ANY other movie portraying the crucifixion of christ EVER. There were times when I had to close my eyes and there's one scene where Jesus gets scourged almost to DEATH and it's just... plain...unimaginary. I mean I went with a bunch of guys and a girl and ALL of us were crying up a storm; it's THAT emotional.
And Jewish people need to really just calm down. There is nothing "anti-semetic" in this movie, unless you count the truth. I really don't understand why they are in such an uproar over this movie; it does nothing to slander the Jews. But it might make you pissed off at what they did. But if Jews wanna be mad, for that matter white americans shoulda been in an uproar and pissed, protesting Amistad and Roots, and Germans shoulda been angry and protesting Schindler's List and The Pianist.
Basically y'all, go see this movie. Words can't describe how much you will be moved and personally affected by it.
