Keep "The Passion" alive!

[patriarch]

I am going to this film every week that it is still in the theaters, God willing.

Why? First of all, because meditating on the Passion of Christ is a marvelous way to grow in the love of God. The humanity of Christ is the window to the Divinity, for through the passion of the Son of God we see His love for us. Many, many saints have testified to this fact.

Secondly, this movie is partially a referendum on the kind of films we Christians want to see and are willing to pay for. Since I am from Chicago I understand the need to "vote early and vote often."

Thirdly, it is a very efficient way to send money to Gibson's Icon Productions so that he will give us many more movies in the same vein.

At this point, I've seen it twice and must say that the second time around was a much richer experience.

We'd be crazy to let this film out of the theaters. In the culture wars this is the ultimate weapon, like a crucifix held up to a vampire

i get to see it this weekend finally! i've heard too that the second time is best because you seem to be able to take more in. i'm so excited!

Yes, I agree that it should be seen a minimum of two times.

On my second viewing, I was able to really "soak in" the ART which is this film:
the choreography (for there was a certain dance element to it);
the cutaway scenes and how they are enmeshed with the action of the Passion scenes;
the subtitles (and how poignant they are)

Bring lots of tissues, lots of tissues.

The DVD is going to sell like hotcakes.

I know I was just telling my mother the same thing, Michelina.
