The movie Passion of Christ does not have anyone non-white, what a shame.?

So you think maybe the Sanhedrin had a few black guys in there? Maybe Pontius Pilate was a brudda? Palestinians are not black. Romans were not black. The Bible mentions black people. The first convert from outside the world of mainstream Jewry, mentioned in Acts, was a black man "an Ethiopian eunuch, a high officr at the court of Candace, Queen of Sheba" but he was regarded as sufficiently unusual to be mentioned specifically.As for not portraying anything good, well there are very few comedy sequences during a crucifixion. It's generally a messy and unpleasant business. Kinda depends on whether you think the Salvation of mankind qualifies as "good."

The fastest way to get people to go see a movie, is to ban it, condemn it, or boycott it! Mel gibson knew this, that is why in his money-making scheme called The Passion of the Christ, he made sure to offend Jews. So, dont ban it, speak against it, but otherwise ignore it.... it will eventually just go away.

I am in agreement with you...there is no reason to censor the movie... years ago I believe there was also an outcry over "The last temptation of Christ" as well.....religions tend not to be very tolerant of anything that could  possibly contradict any of their version of history or potentially influence people to question the version...... people have to keep in mind that all religions are man made , the bible was written by men ... which logically means that much of what is written in it must be  questioned...or at least  viewed as embellished to suit  the writers preference ......

it was a little disappointing that some parts of the book were omitted in the movie. truth is if you didn't read the book or know nothing about christian history, then watching the movie would be either too confusing or boring.\n\nthe only consolation was seeing the fab performances of tom hanks and ian mckellen.

Put it out. Christians already know the truth and know that in the end times, these types of things will be thrown at them. Hollywood tries any way it can to destroy Chrisianity because they are a bunch of Godless idiots. Whomever made the film will have to bow one day and explain their actions.

the "Passion" was a kids version of what truly happened. it was so brutal that it could not be shown on TV or movies. it was so painful before they were put on the cross, it was a miracle that He did not die before the cross. first, he was spat upon and his beard was torn out by his own people. then he was whipped with a stick. he was taken before pilate. then he was sripped naked and whipped by the "cat and nine tails" which had peices of metal and glass that tears the skinn off. they whipped him thirty-nine times. then he was robed in purple and a crown of thorns was forced onto his head. the thorns were the length of common nails and as thin as a pine needle. they were so sharp that they went through his scull. then he was forced to carry his cross which would have weighd something near five hundred pounds. he had to carry it throu the streets ant to the mount called golgotha which was a good ten kilometers from the roman post in the city. once there, he had his clothes ripped off him once more and was forced to hold out his arms where nails the length of railroad spikes were driven into his hands and feet. then they raised the cross into the hole whre it dropped two to three feet. he was nude, bleeding, almost unrecognizable, and was mocked by both his people and the romans. what you did not see in the movie was that all the sin of the world was brought onto Jesus and he died from the weight of that sin.

Back in the day, 70's, 80's, the black dude always got killed off.  Why?  Because the hero is often white and 9 times out of 10 the hero does not die.  Also, in the wake a civil rights, etc. suddenly it was cool for a white hero to have a black side kick.  Coolness by association. Mostly true of action flicks. Just my humble opinion.

Not at all. I thought it was a very clever movie. Obviously some Christians will whine about it, but let's be realistic - some Christians whine about everything.

Not all "Church people" dislike the movie.  Only the ignorant ones who do not think that people should have an imagination or think that people should not question or wonder about life in general. I, myself have no problem with the book or the movie.

I watched a couple episodes. The black family were much better at being white than the white family at being black. The white family were an embarrassment (at least the father was, what a screaming dork!). As far as 'fun' being another race? It could be interesting to see how the same strangers reacted to you in similar situations as different ethnicities.

I saw it when it was first released in theaters and I wish that I would've waited until it came on t.v. I was very disappointed. The music was great and so was the actors, but overall I didn't see the point of the movie. It just seemed like a infommercial for church. Sorry, but I felt someone should've put more thought into the plot of the movie.

its a publicity stunt to compare the two and to make sure that she is not looked down upon. I personally don't care what the girl does. she is a regular person that got pregnant. difference is, she could make many religious people not watch it and hurt budget because she is a teen that got pregnant. whats the plan to save the movie.... she is just like Mary. like i said... it doesnt effect me in any way, shape or form. will i see the movie? who knows. will it be because of this stunt, not likely.

Everyone is way too sensitive. People need to just lighten up and be more accepting of others. I'm tired of people crying about someone or something offending them. That new movie coming out, The DaVinci Code is a perfect example. The Catholic Church ( and others ) are all pissed off about the content of the movie. But that's just what it is, A MOVIE! It's make believe. People need to get over themselves and live with it.

Nervy of them, I'd say...I live in Leimert Park (I'm 50 and white) and find it pretty racist for them to assume (and you KNOW what they were thinking) that because it was a white MAN with a black WOMAN that something suspect, and perhaps commercial, might be afoot.  I doubt the same approach would have been taken with a same race-couple, or even a black MAN with a white WOMAN.  But what can you do in this ignorant world?

Hollywood likes to do movies depicting "demons" and Catholic priests being overtaken by them, using "holy water" to defeat them, etc.  I've always wanted to see a movie that depicts demons from the biblical discription and have a Christian overcome them with the name of Jesus, and not wierd non-biblical things.\n\nThat's just me.  :o)\n\nSue
