Not too clever encouraging people to steal by posting a link to an illegal copy of this movie. Youtube has been contacted with my concerns about this movie being available on their site.

There's much better ways to dl any movie ever released on DVD besides YouTube.

Not that I'd ever condone video piracy

kind of hilarious as the only time anyone has "copyright" concerns is when its a movie about Christ.
with all the stuff that gets linked on sites like this, the complaint is very transparent.

Enjoy the show

Kind of hilarious that you are judging someone's concerns without knowing the person. I have never illegally downloaded anything because I have too much respect for intellectual property. I own the movie and think that it is fabulous, but what do I know, I am but a Catholic and a conservative. I don't care what you download but you put the owner of this board in a risky position by posting stuff like this. Do some searches regarding the position of this board on copy right issues.

whats with the Catholic comment? obviously you dont know me and havent read my posts.

again, as far as this copyright thing, this kind of stuff goes on constantly here. Whats the problem now? I think we know why.

if it was porn nobody would have an issue with it and it would get 5,000 hits.

Just being real here, folks.

"Passion of the Christ" IS porn, just a different kind. It's a sadistic, grisly snuff film. Anyone who needs to see something that graphic to be convinced that Jesus suffered and died on the cross is sick in the head. Gibson forfeited all opportunity to make a valid movie by reveling in torture and agony and ignoring the resurrection.

im impressed that you took the time to watch the film. Although id have to disagree that he ignored the resurrection. It was dealt with in a simple yet powerful way at the end of the film. But tell me more in detail what you thought of the film. How did it stack up scripturally?

My feeling is that the purpose of the violence of the film was to focus in on what was weathered for us. Most people havent let it in what it meant for Jesus to endure what he did for us. Hard to watch, indeed, sometimes it is.
But its supposed to be hard to watch. And I, for one, am moved by the knowledge that despite what he endured, He still thinks of us. And forgives us.
"Forgive them for they know not what they do"
Its a film about His love for us.

Would "Saving Private Ryan" be called a "snuff film"? That was graphic, yet for the purpose of telling the story of what our brave soldiers did for us on D-Day and beyond.

You say "anyone who needs something that graphic to be convinced that Jesus died on the cross is sick in the head". You miss the point.
Its not just that anyone needs convincing that Jesus died on the cross. Its that He died for US.
Thats why He came and thats for who He died.

hmmm. interesting thats what it makes you think of.

for myself, I think of Salvation by Grace, Justification by Faith in the one who died for my sins. The love that God has for us that He would sent His Son to die for us.

But hey, whatever, Bruschi..
