>Caviezel, 49, confirmed he will reprise his role as Jesus in the planned film about the resurrection of Christ. "There are things that I cannot say that will shock the audience," he says. "It's great. Stay tuned."

>"I won’t tell you how he’s going to go about it," Caviezel says. "But I’ll tell you this much, the film he’s going to do is going to be the biggest film in history. It’s that good."

ARE YOU READY FOR THE DEPICTION OF THE HARROWING OF HELL

I haven't seen the Passion of the Christ yet, but I will, seeing as how it was made by arguably the only true Christian man left in that disgusting Hollywood. I've heard the movie was amazing. If Mel can pull through with Ressurection in a time like this, when nu-communists are trying their hardest to destroy our faith, I will be beyond surprised and joyful.

Hopefully we see both Heaven and Hell.

God bless you, Mel Gibson.

I can't wait to mine all the salt from my friends who despise both Gibson and The Passion (in both film and non-film form).

I haven't seen passion of the Christ yet.

I heard some describe it as torture porn etc so I kinda lost interest.

But I might be lead astray by salty nones.

Is it that needlessly bloody or is it what we know?

There's a degree of drama and even exaggeration during a few scenes, but it's a movie so it's expected. It's very good though, probably one of the better films Gibson has directed and a solid interpretation.

Pope John Paul II said for the mobe that "It is as it was." The film is terribly violent, but only because it faithfully reproduces the last 12 hours of Jesus's life. This means that the whipping, crown of thorns and carrying of the cross are all in and uncensored. Regarding the wounds that Jesus takes, they were made exactly the same as what's recorded on the Shroud of Turin.

Even when Jesus's flesh gets ripped during the whipping, it's taken from the Shroud because the wound was there. The movie is quite literally as it was 2000 years ago.

Gibson said his goal was to make people realize how big of a deal crucifixion was because he (and I agree with him), people are desensitized by it because the story is told too often. And he succeeded.

>exaggeration

I'll need some citations for that.

Cool. But what about the issue that Caviezel is 49 and playing an eternally 33 year old man? Maybe they will digitally de-age him.

By the way, check out Youtube for a recent interview of Mel Gibson by Joe Rogan. They don't get into religion and it's mostly Mel shilling for the non-fetal stem cell treatment which is prolonging his 99 year old dad's life. Still a good watch.

The not scene I didn’t like in this movie was the third on the cross getting his eye plucked out by a crow. That sort of stuff grossed me out. Other than that, it was great, and the “torture porn” complaint was made by atheists who couldn’t criticize it for other reasons (any time they make a religious movie, atheists criticize either its acting or its historical accuracy. They couldn’t say that here, so these people who consume blood and guts horror movies criticized it for being gory). Hell, South Park criticized the movie for being anti-semitic and gory. South Park makes a career off racist jokes and a show where a character gets brutally murdered every episode, but suddenly The Passion is too much.

You guys seem to think this won't be shilled, I guess I'll take your word for it.

I'm guessing the movie will end with Jesus acending to heaven.


5f0085 No.596659

To this day I don't even know why Jesus went to hell instead of straight to heaven.

Particularly given the fact there's a permanent connection between him and the Father and being in hell is by definition not being connected to God.

So when are we going to see the Christian Cinematic Universe?

Phase 1

>Passion and Resurrection

>Acts

>Martyrdom of Apostles

>Revelation

Phase 2

>Prequels? (Genesis, Exodus, etc)

Phase 3

>Movies about Apostolic era? (Polycarp, Justin Martyr, etc.)

>Movies about Ante-Nicene saints?

Cool story, OP, but I have precious little confidence Gibson will exceed expectations this time. The situations and scenes he will be dealing with will be too highly nuanced and subject to personal interpretation that a lot of people are gonna be triggered by his attempt.

imho anyway

>>596601

>that pic

not true (about Mel). The fact that Gibson's made and appeared in several films suggests (((they))) don't control everything. (((Some))) people will refuse to ever forgive him, but that's on them, innit?

Nevertheless, what it says about the other guy is entirely and woefully true

Someone who is more adept than me with this matter is more than welcome to correct me, but from my understanding, he didn't go to "hell" exactly. He went to Adam's Bosom. And apparently he lifted up people such as Moses, Adam and Eve to heaven. I remember reading once that it is kind of confusing in English translations, but it has something to do with: in Greek, it's stated as though Jesus simply descended to the place of the dead, and in turn we've just translated it to hell

You're my samefag, anon

I did TRY to watch it, but only got half way and thought "If I refuse to watch torture porn, why am I watching this?"

>>596593

>Pope John Paul II said …

Yeah, no offence, but one of the reasons I think that film IS torture porn-tier is because cathbros seem to live in the belief that it was the very human suffering of Christ that so terrified Him in the garden the night before ("take this cup…"), and so the crucifixion must therefore be made to look extremely bloody and feel horrifying. Well, while I am certain the days events were just that, it oversells'' the humanity of Christ as just a poor man (((they))) tortured and killed, and ignores – mostly, I think, because cathbros reject the theological notion – the role of God's wrath on Christ for our sins.

A servant cannot be greater than his master, yet we're saying Peter, who went to his cross willingly, unafraid, all-but mocking the Romans killing him by insisting they turn his cross upside down, was greater than Christ who cowered in the garden sweating blood and pleading with the Father? Surely not. The difference is that Peter did not bear the wrath of God for our sins, and THIS mystical event is what the crucifixion is REALLY about. Not some human form being whipped and humiliated. imho.

But, I am not inclined to think, for all Gibson's current desire to show the supernatural, that any of this is reflected in Gibson's first film.

Not that I know HOW you could portray God's wrath laid on Christ.

How about you stop making up things that "THE EVIL PAPISTS REJECT" in your slander campaign, and accept that it is a movie? How disgusting

Torture porn is a bad meme. It's the same as applying feminist analysis to Paul's teachings. The movie's brutal and that's completely fine. Just because you're, no offense, a wuss doesn't make your your rant about Catholics ok.

The movie had two main goals. First one was to be a historically accurate depiction and the second one to make people realize how horrifying the crucifixion was. The two go hand in hand.

Your presupposition that the point was to show maximum torture is wrong and the strange attempt to "scientifically compare" Peter's to Jesus's end is inane for two reasons. Firstly because the movie wasn't showing maximum torture. And secondly, because Jesus's resurrection (which is *not* the main theme of the movie), but rather a deus ex machina punchline at the end, is something we can never fully understand and therefore can't be shown - nor compared to anything human.

Regarding the point you made that the garden scene is interpreted as a mere fear of physical pain - that's just stupid. I don't know where you got that idea and I don't want to know.

If we're actually going to talk Catholic theology, then it's a movie about love. Catholics emphasize that love, true love is in its essence, suffering. The movie focuses on suffering taken by our Lord out of Love before resurrection; on the road to redemption; not redemption itself. I think you completely missed the point of the film.
