I saw this movie at Wednesday at 4pm. The theater was almost full.

What I have to say about the movie is "Wow." This movie is powerful on many different levels. My nerves were frazzeled when I walked out of the theater. When people walked out at the end, they were mostly stunned at what they had just seen. There was a huge line when we walked out.

The direction and the cinematagraphy were very good. The actors were very believable in their respective roles. The soundtrack was very moving.

Although some of the scenes were graphic, I believe it added to the movie. It portrayed the history of the brutality of the Roman empire. Remember that a form Roman's entertainment was to have people fight to the death. They throw enemies and Christians to the lions. Among other harsh and brutal things.

If you are not religious, this movie portrays the everyday life of the people of that era. You don't have to be Christian to see this very powerful and emotional movie.

If you are Christian, this movie will shake you down to your soul. Seeing how much Jesus suffered for us. How He died willingly to save our souls from going to Hell. This goes along way showing us redemption. I believe Mel Gibson made this movie as a wake up call to the Christians.

The only part of the movie I wish would have been longer was the ending. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone.

I believe that Mel Gibson took a huge risk in making this movie. It may have single handedly ended his career. He has made enough money that the only person he has to please is himself. And I believe he did it with this movie. How many actors or directors willing to take the risk in creating something they believe like he did?

In a way you can compare this movie with Schindler's list. You don't have to be Jewish to have this movie affect you. It also is a very powerful movie portraying a very unpleasant time in history. Remember if and when you do see The Passion, that the Roman's were torturing and killing the Jews like in the Holocaust. Also Jesus was a Jew.
