DIVINE CRITIQUE

My plan is to see it Thursday.

I'm a little nervous that the rapture might happen while I'm watching it.

I think I might get a clever bumpersticker about the rapture just in case.

Seeing it Thursday in style. With food delivered to my cushy leather seat.

Reviews are starting to come in and critics seem to like this film, for whatever that's worth to people. Ebert & Roeper reviewed it last night and gave it 2 big thumbs up. I can't find the review online anywhere currently, there's just a blurb on their website saying they'll review it.

They called it the most important religious film ever. And the best one.

I'm going to see it, but I'm not sure when.

I'll probably wait until it's been out a few weeks to see it, if I see it at all.

I plan on seeing it Wednesday afternoon. Provided that I don't have a last minute job interview setup.

What I'm curious is whether or not the film can be enjoyed, even if you don't "believe?" That's my...dillema.

Ditto.

I don't believe in any religion, so I hope that if I do go to see the film, that it can be enjoyed by the non-religious.

Someone said that it can. But I think it's just going to be one of those things you have to experience for yourself, no matter your viewpoint.

17 posts in this thread -- I thought the film had opened already! Came a-clickin' to see what you thought of it; imagine my dissapointment.

Yeah, I think that's pretty much it. I kind of want to see it, but the non-religious part of me is telling me not to waste my time on something that I don't have belief, nor interest in.

Just came back from the 11 am showing.

It was everything I anticipated the movie to be. Brutal yet compassionate…

The torture scene was amazing. It made me cringe several times…especially when they starting hitting him with the metal claw thing.

It was disheartening to watch Mary’s anguish. She had to witness her son being slowly torn a part and killed… knowing she couldn’t do a damn thing about it.

But the most intense scene in the movie was the crucifixion…watching the blood poor down the end of the nails after they were hammered into his hand…then when the cross itself was being raised.

No, you do not have to be religious in anyway to appreciate this film. I don’t consider myself a Christian in any way. In fact, I’ve begun studying buddhism recently. However, I must admit, it did make me question my religious beliefs…or lack of I should say.
