    I know a lot of people are upset because it seems Anti-Jewish, but lets not forget, Jesus and his family were Jewish. As a Christian, I came out of the film feeling like I caused Jesus` death, not the Jewish leaders of the time, not the Romans, but me and my sin. Fairly accurate protrayal, leaning more towards a Catholic viewpoint. The violence was not overwhelming but in my opinion a realistic representation of what Jesus most likely had to experiance. The casting was excellent. I truly feel that you have to be completely ignorant of the Christian doctrine to feel this film was Anti-anyone. Jesus loves everyone, Jesus died for everyone, Ever

    A Masterpiece! Bravo to Mel Gibson. It isn`t easy watching what Jesus went through. Mel Gibson has done a real good job of portraying what has been written about these events; people who deny it or talk about senseless anti-Semitism stuff are just trying to diminish Christianity and Jesus` purpose on earth. Why is this movie violent? Well, because that`s what happened in reality according to the Gospels, simple as that. For those who say that the movie is unjustifiably violent, I say: you`ve all become Saints all of a sudden, go and protest about destructive violent movies like Kill Bill, not about the true suffering of the Christ. Wake up an

    Despite all the controversy, The Passion truly does deliver nothing short of a breathtaking display of Christ`s final hours. Well worth seeing, even though at times the violence seems excessive. Do not want to miss this movie!!!

    What are the Jews ranting about? Nothing in this movie would make me hate them or dispise them. I think it`s a small group of fanatic trying to stir up trouble. God is loving and all religion are loving of the same God. Everyone should see the Passion to understand that it doesn`t matter who you are, God, and Jesus loves you.

    I thought it was many things.When I first seen the graphic brutality I thought it was overdone.But when we look at the whole concept of the movie, the violence is absolutly necessary for us to understand the true suffering Christ endured for all Christians.To some this film may strengthen their faith or give faith to others who have little faith.I think Mel is brilliant!What a PR promotion for Christ!

    I went to see this film because i wanted to know who was Jesus. I don`t have a religion. I find Jesus to be a loving man who died for the sins of others. What an great film. Does not make me hate Jews. Why would people even think we will hate jews if we see this film? No comprehension of this.

    I think Mel Gibson is wise (in the biblical sense) in having the evil one around almost every corner. Nowadays we don`t think about spiritual warfare that much. But, hey, when you see so much beating and suffering (remember the two guys, each on his own cross, did not fare so badly), you have to wonder where does this madness come from? Pilate`s right hand man did show up a couple of times to regulate it somehow, but that did not help at all. Why? One answer is that there is this battle going on. If somehow Satan can get Jesus to give up, then there is no salvation and that would be a great victory for him and his gang (recall Jesus` temptati

    The `Passion` was a beautiful meditation on Christ`s laying down His life for His friends.. US. I came away pondering the reality of what Christ endured for us. We all had a hand in His suffering, all our collective sins caused it. It was in intense, riveting movie that wrenched my heart but ended in victory. Way to go Mel!
