Hi I am feeling really guilty. I hear everyone (even non-christians) saying that while The Passion is a good film it is not entertaining. I love my Lord dearly so why did I enjoy this movie? I found it very compelling and would really like to see it again. Is this sinful?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Passion Entertaining?

No, finding something compelling and interesting in nature is not sinful. If this were the case all those that have research the crucifixion of Christ would be opperating in sin. The movie is very very compelling, but to find "enjoyment" that would be where you would scare me.

Ok, thank you for your reply. To be honest I do not know whether I enjoyed it or not. I really hope I didn't - and the movie did upset me, so I really don't know.

A bittersweet truth: sum, ergo cogito

I think when a lot of people say that the movie was not entertaining, they mean it in a much more specific sense than you are. They mostly mean it wasn't action-packed, funny, or something like that.
I think it's perfectly OK that you enjoyed it, if by "enjoying" it you mean that it emotionally moved you and was meaningful--or if it was "compelling," as you said. If that's the case, I enjoyed it.
I see no reason that you should be guilty about this reaction.

I must say that "entertaining" is not the word to use. It was an experience, like watching a piece of living art.

the main definition is synonymous to "amuse" which may be why folks are confused by your use of the word.

Hey dude... don't feel like you're the only one... I mean I would definitely go see it again. I laughed at the idiot part, I cried at other parts so if you feel like that then that ain't bad. I mean because we know that it really happened we don't know how to feel, but in real life now we laugh even though people all around us are in pain. So don't feel bad about it... hope that helps...

That is a very wise statement. It is after all, just a movie. People should stop thinking it is God's word because it isn't
I am sure however God will get from the movie exactly what he wants to.

All I'm gonna say is that it was a brutal movie, It brought home the pain Christ suffered during those hours.
And Satan looked Marilyn Manson, was that intentional?
