Keep "The Passion" alive!

[patriarch]

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

The movie will eventually leave the theaters as all movies do.

You want to see it every week go right ahead.... I think once will be enough for me.

I still haven't managed to see it and I am very disappointed in this. I will go soon though. I can't afford to pay for a movie every week but I am going to see it and fully plan to buy the DVD the first day it i released, I will in fact pre-order it. I will also go see it in the dollar cinemas if Icon lets it get bumped down. It is still causing waves and that is a good thing. I only wish I had seen it already!

How long movies stay in the theatre is based on their profits, as long as it is making good money it will stay. It will of course taper off, but the more people that go see it the longer it will stay in the theatre.
