Omg..
I just saw it yesterday.
I'M STILL STUNNED. ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
Sorry for the caps, but that is all that can describe how i fell. It is one of the best movies i've ever seen. It shows everything so violent, you almost feel like your Jesus. And Jesus' and Mary's love for each other is just breath taking.
I hope the sweep the oscars next year; Oh, they better [shakes fist]
Edit: Spelling. Sorry..too lazy to check it the first time.

I was under the impression that the devil was androgynous -- neither male nor female.

I heard Gibson explain this in an interview. He wasn't saying that the devil was a woman, he wanted to show that quite often the devil, or evilness for that matter comes in the form of something that at first glance may seem unthreatening, and maybe even tempting, but underneath it is evil. Using a good looking woman helps illustrate this concept, but when we see her closely on screen, we notice the worm in her nose and the snake that is by her feet. It just shows that evil sometimes can come in pretty packages (ie. don't judge a book by it's cover!)

I saw this just now and I wept from start to finish.
It's not a film you can say you liked and I certainly can't distinguish, but it was amazing. Everyone needs to see it.
I've never been moved like this before from a film. I'm still shaking. I just sat there for five minutes when it had finished, and cried and cried. There was a small pattering of applause, but mostly people just sat silently, crying.
Go see it.

I saw that last night. Pirate DVD.
Very good copy. I watched it late last night, out of curiosity. It's very impressive visually, I was a tad gobsmacked in general over it.
Though I respect all of your views... I do not see how Jesus could have taken such a beating like that. It's impossible. It's said over and over again that he could not save himself because he was born on Earth as a normal human being... but if he was that normal, then he wouldn't fallen unconscious during the flaying, and carrying the cross... and especially when the nails are driven into his hands and ankles. Someone told me there are points in the middle of the hands that if a nail was driven through, that is the most pain that a human person could feel. He would have died from the shock. Plus, the criminal next to him who condemns him has his eye pecked out by a crow. There is no evidence to suggest those events anyway. And if God forgave everyone for their sins anyway... then why was he punished for just mouthing off?
I'd have to see it again to form a more worthy opinion that just slagging the film off. I'm such it has its good points i.e. the Devil being portrayed as neither male nor female.

Ah, bad! Bad! Don't watch pirate movies! (Sorry -- normally I don't get into the downloading debate, but in this case it's just deliciously ironic.)
As to the other criminal being crucified, I thought that that crow didn't turn up until he was already dead. If that's the case, then it doesn't really count at "punishment." (I haven't seen it -- is that right?)

You sumed it up for me. It's really not a film i can say i "liked". It's just... well, there isn't any words really. It's moving.
Amazing and increadable.
