Great movie, I saw it Saturday morning. Whether or not a child should see it, that is up to each individual parent(s). I would not let a child see it without the parents being there, it may be too intense for that. There should be a good amount of discussion with younger children after the movie as well. While some movies may be more gory, I believe that 'The Passion' is more graphic and intense. We took my 16 year old cousin, but I'm more of a parent to him than his parents are. There is a reason it is rated R.

In my opinion, it should be seen by anyone who accepts Christ as their savior, at some point in their lives. It will probably give a better sense of what Christ went through to many people. In my experiences, most people know he was crucified, but know little more than that. If they think the crucifixion was the worst part, they have a lot more coming to them.

The only criticism of the movie that I have is that those who don't know the bible well will have a difficult time keeping up with what is happening. If you didn't know the political and religious hierarchy of the time, you may be confused as to who the council and priests were, who King Herod was, and a myriad of other things that were happening in the movie.

 

I agree... I think they portrayed Herod as the person he was, but they didn't really seem to let people know who Pilate was. (that's pronounced Pilot, not the Pilate exercise) But it was very correct in the accuracy from what I can understand.

 

i think they did a good good on the way pilate was acted... i mean he was afraid of caesar soo he did what he was to do.. i mean he didnt want to crux. Jesus but he had to, to make the people happy (the crowd aka the jews at that time) that way caesar would not hear of what was goin on...

 

I think.......

that if he had not ordered the crucifixion that the people would have revolted, overthrown/killed Pilate, and crucified Jesus anyways.

I loved the character Barabbas :-D

 

yes thats how it was goin to happen.. Jesus was goin to be crucified no matter what.. it says it in isaiah.. great book.....like i said he did it cuz he ddidnt want caesar to haer of what was goin on.... and that he wanted to look good for the people....
