This was obviously a very hard watch. It was a great reminder of the ultimate sacrifice but very graphic and painful to watch. I wish they would have shown more of his life, of his teachings and healing and miracles. There were beautiful parts that touched me-He is Risen! I’m nervous about this reaction a bit so please be kind.

The Passion of the Christ (2004) - Full Reaction - Popcorn In Bed

Watch the full reaction to The Passion of the Christ on Popcorn In Bed.

Comments

Anthony Carlson

He is Risen indeed! Happy Easter coming up! And get some sleep! 😂

Mike Lemon

"I wish they would have shown more of his life, of his teachings and healing and miracles." Jesus of Nazareth (1977) is what you're looking for.

Night King01

Martin Scorsesee also did a Jesus story with the last temptation of christ. Although that is based off a novel. Willem Dafoe plays Jesus in that.

Anthony Carlson

And it’s my brother’s birthday today too.

Jim at Super Powered Design

My mom died 6 months before this movie came out. As a "former" Catholic, I went to see this movie alone. I WEPT for all of the movie. The "mother / son" sub plot sent me over the edge. This movie was what is what is supposed to be... Jesus and his torment. It was a glimpse of his final days. It is based upon his sacrifice, and not his teachings.

Henry Graham

"I wish they would have shown more of his life, of his teachings and healing and miracles." Indeed! I understand that this film is only about the Passion, but as someone raised in the Church, I was always repulsed by how much focus there was on suffering and sacrifice as a tenet of the faith, and how that seems to overshadow Christ's message and what he represented. Gibson's film always felt hollow and suspect to me - I simply do not understand what such a relentless depiction of torture has to communicate to us. I found The Passion of the Christ to be totally loathsome when I saw it upon its release and I will be skipping this reaction. Martin Scorsese's 1988 film The Last Temptation of Christ was derided as blasphemous when it was released (mostly by people who hadn't seen it) but I think that film comes from a genuine place of enquiry and compassion, from a director who has often spoken about his faith, and its ending makes one truly understand what is being sacrificed. It is a film about Christ's humanity, and I wish Cassie would have watched this instead. Maybe she can add it to the slate for next Easter.

Wesley White

Don't worry Cass, I have nothing negative to say! Though I did warn you on how hard this was going to be when watching it lol! This is one movie that I can't bring myself to watch again, only saw it once in the theater, and that was it for me! One small piece of trivia that I learned during the making of this movie, Jim Caviezel who plays Jesus in this, was struck by lightning during production, yikes! Anyway, I hope this movie didn't scar you to badly, like I said, it's a hard watch! Love and support, Happy early Easter, and God bless🥰😇🙏😁🤗😉👍✌🌹

DAVID COSTELLO

Thanks for teaching me the proper pronunciation of "Gethsemane"

djKENTO

This movie misses the point of Christ and his sacrifice entirely. Whether you believe or not, people were crucified and tortured every day. Hell, two other people are crucified with him that very day. It was the resurrection and payment for humanity’s sins that actually matters and this movie is not interested in that at all. Also given the allegations of Gibson’s antisemitism and other racist rants and recordings of him… I just can’t bring myself to care about anything he says or makes when it comes to religion… or anything else for that matter.

djKENTO

I prefer that movie to this one a lot

djKENTO

Or the tv show The Chosen

Choof

As a strident atheist this movie does nothing for me unfortunately. I much prefer The Last Temptation of Christ by Martin Scorsese starring Willem Dafoe, a far more interesting idea and adaptation.

Just Plain Bob

As an agnostic, there’s not a lot on offer for me with this movie/reaction. That’s not intended as a criticism/critique. Most of my immediate family are Christians and I know from conversations with them that they were very moved by this and found it faith-affirming, so I think it served its intended purpose. Since I won’t be watching the movie, I relied on Cassie’s intro and outro to get a feel for her reaction and it sounds as though it had the same effect on her as it did on my family (thought provoking, faith affirming, etc) and that’s all that really matters. I hope that she, and the rest of my fellow Popcorn in Bed patrons, all have a Happy Easter. This is gonna be one of those rare occasions when I suggest Cassie watch something light and fluffy next. How about “Willow” AND “Real Genius”? I’m not a fan of “Willow” but, at the same time, I will acknowledge that it is a light hearted romp and Cassie’s likely to enjoy it. And I also think “Real Genius” is gonna hit her right in the funny bone and that she’ll love seeing this very different side of Val Kilmer (goofy, yet still very charming).

Gary Brown

Cassie, don't be nervous. The worst thing would be low viewership. Im passing on this because the whole movie is subtitles, as well as being too heavy for me. I'll catch the YouTube edit. U and carly are awesome and I ordered Cape Fear because I wanted to see it with you. Plus Juliette Lewis is one of my favorite actresses. Happy Easter to u , carly and the rest of ur family. 🙂❤️

Carol_White

You don't have to be nervous about this reaction for my sake because I'm never going to watch it.

Erik Locquiao

"If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you.” Don’t be nervous about this reaction. Christianity and Christian movies/media will enrage people, it’s just an unfortunate fact. I’d bet some people will even unsubscribe because of this. But, if this reaction/movie reaches even one person and brings them to Christ…I’d say it’s worth the hate received from others.

Samuel Champ

I'm about to start watching this with you. And it is a tough watch "every" time. It's called "The Passion" so it's not about His teachings, it's about His sacrifice. From the moment Judas kissed Him to the moment He stated "it is accomplished" He was taking on the sins of everyone who chooses to follow Him. That, by definition is cruel, ugly and "my" fault. I just remember the reason He did it. Love.

Damon

Isaiah 53:5 - But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and by his stripes we are healed.

Patrick Reynolds

No worries from me Cassie. This is one film I'm going to passover. I've never seen it and never will. I still think you are wonderful and look forward to your next reaction.

Macabre Movie Maniac

I can definitely appreciate your intense reaction Cassie. I saw this in theatre, mainly to appease my dad. Did this happen? Maybe. If it it did it's full of philosophical holes. Not theological, but philosophical. You're definitely not one to hold back on emotion though Cassandra. For that you're a hell of a reactor. 👍

Jerrod Acree

The film is historically accurate on the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

Mike Lemon

Alcohol is a hell of a drug. If only there was someone that taught about redemption and forgiveness, huh.

Clarence Newman

For the first time in over 600 reactions, I'm going to skip this one. I still say its a Nope list movie and should have been vetoed, but such things are always debatable. I'm dropping in now to give Cassie support and respect for having the courage to watch it. Because of her beliefs, this was always going to be tougher than the average bear. Cape Fear and Passion of the Christ back to back? I think that tops No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood as a double whammy. Time for a couple of light, fun movies, Cassie. May I suggest City Slickers as the ideal choice, with the World's Fastest Indian or The Full Monty as a follow-up toastie.

Clarence Newman

As for the reaction getting low views, I think that might be true on here. On Youtube, however, I think the numbers will surprise you.

Andrew Taylor

Look Mel Gibson just has a fixation on violence and suffering being some sort of moral attrition for our sins ( his other films are littered with it) sometimes it works, sometimes not. God bless you for watching this though

Shane Drum

Perhaps Jesus' torment was knowing the Indigenous people of Australia had been kicking along for over 50000 years just fine without his help

ktown64

God bless you, Cassie. It is hard to watch. But, Mel and Jim are set to start filming the sequel this year, The Resurrection of the Christ. Mel says it might even be 2 films. So that’s something I’m looking forward to.

Patrick

If you're reacting to this film, then I think it's only fair that u also react to "The DaVinci Code" (2006)

Just Plain Bob

How is this debatable? It’s not my cup of tea, but it is Cassie’s NOPE list. If she chose to watch it (without even a poll to push her), by definition it’s NOT on her NOPE list. And what would she veto - her own decision to watch this movie?

Ads

A very moving film. Thanks cassie!!!

Eric Parpart

Such a powerful film. Difficult to watch but also a must watch in my opinion.

Matt Rowland

When I was in high school, my Sunday School teacher was a doctor and for a month leading up to Easter one year, she taught us the anatomy of the crucifixion. It was a fascinating but deeply visceral teaching. By the end of that unit, I had learned the physical suffering of Christ on a completely new level. It is perhaps the most agonizing way to die. So when this film came out, I passed on watching it. Not because I didn't believe - no, exactly the opposite. But having sat through 4 or 5 classes of the anatomy of the crucifixion, I didn't need to see it on screen. May the Lord bless your family, and please remember our family as Easter Sunday is my daughter's 16th birthday and teaching her to drive has been....painful. 🤣 happy Easter!

Ted Whalen

I am happy to see that you were able to watch this very powerful movie. I remember watching this in the movie theatre and basically weeping through the whole movie. I hope that you have a great Holy Week.

Blake Evans

As a Christian I’m obviously biased, but I think this at is a film everyone should see at least once. Just with Schindler’s List, Amistad, and American History X. Not ones I can watch all the time, but at least once a year. Far too often I think we forget about the sacrifice presented in the Passion which derives from the Latin passio meaning to suffer and pati, meaning to endure. Kind of puts life in perspective on the days when I get upset because they got my Zaxbys order wrong. Can’t say I’m excited to watch his reaction, but since I was gong to watch it for Easter anyway might as well have some company.

Doc Larry/old geezer

Mel Gibson was known to have studied "On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ," a medical journal article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. March 21, 1986 On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ William D. Edwards, MD; Wesley J. Gabel, MDiv; Floyd E. Hosmer, MS, AMI Above is the technical information one of the resources that Mel Gibson used for his motion picture. However, what’s more important is the human element. The way you showed compassion while watching Schindler’s list was also demonstrated while watching this movie the true meaning of loving humanity. We need more individuals like you, Cassie and your sister in this world.

phillip giroux

Despite my personal beliefs, I do find all religions fascinating in a mythological and sociological sense, so I still appreciate the story.

Jake McNulty

Yes Jim Caviezel was good in this one, though personally my favourite onscreen portrayal of Jesus would be Robert Powell in the 1977 miniseries "Jesus of Nazareth". After that would be the 1999 animated film "The Miracle Maker" where he was voiced by Ralph Fiennes. Both are worth checking out if you're interested.

Jeri1979

What version is this? I own the movie but I was unable to sync it. So I rented it on youtube and it does not work either... I also tried a free version on youtube and the internet archive and its the same. Dont know where you guys got this version from. Very dissapointing and a waste of my money...

Clarence Newman

Appreciate your point of view, Bob, but that's the debatable part exactly. This was a film Cassie hadn't seen, so the debate is whether it should be on her Nope List or not. By definition, she can't, for the most part, populate that list herself. All she can do is listen to advice from others (including us) and make her decision based on that. Yes, it's her Nope list, but unless we want her to stumble blindly into something like The Human Centipede (which seems to be a definite Nope list movie), then she needs input from others. Your opinion (and many others) is that this one was ok for her to watch, and that's fine by me. Opinions are what make this comments board so interesting. My opinion (and I'm as far from alone in this as you are, which is what makes the question "debatable") is that it SHOULD be on her Nope list - not for the same reasons as "The Exorcist" or "A Serbian Film" or the other truly gruesome stuff that's out there (films that contain Cassie's specific Nope tropes like child abuse, demonic possession etc.), but for other reasons I feel are very personal to her. I honestly thought this film would hurt her feelings beyond a reasonable level, and not just for the duration of the film. I haven't watched the reaction so I hope I'm wrong this time, but in general, if no one ever expresses concern over a film she intends to watch, it opens her up to a whole new level. It's not a Good Patrons versus Evil Patrons kind of issue, because the White Knights can be just as wrong as the Dark Knights - sometimes embarrassingly so! Without your side of it, the channel could degenerate into a spineless haven for chick flicks. Without my side of it, Cassie could end up watching all kinds of vile crap. Hence the debates. It's also worth pointing out, I never lobbied for her to veto Passion of the Christ. Just like you, I respect her right to choose. What I did do was ensure that she'd been given a full heads up on the EXTENT of the torture violence in the movie - not just the presence of it, the sheer, relentless EXTENT of it). Once I heard that she'd been advised and had decided to watch it anyway, that was the end of my protest. As others have quite rightly said, she's a big girl and can take a hell of a lot more than she could before the channel started. I'm sure she'll be able to "take" the watching of this film too, recover from it in a few days and move on. But the same could be said for a short left hook to the mouth. Doesn't mean it's a good idea to put her through it. Just my opinion, mate.

Above Average Dave

Thank you So much for this, Cassie. I know it's a hard watch, but sometimes we forget the level of emotional and physical pain and sacrifice involved. He is risen and we are saved! Not sure who will be unkind about this reaction, but I am glad to be your human shield if anyone wants to give you any guff. Refer them to me and I will be glad to smile and shred. 😉

Alex Gorell

I remember when this movie came out. A week later my synagogue was vandalized with swastikas, windows smashed, rabbis car was firebombed so all the other synagogues in the area had to hire security and have a local police presence 24/7 for months afterwards as a result. Decided then this was on my nope list. But I hope you enjoy it though and it doesn’t traumatize you too much.

Richard Maurer

I haven’t watched yet and probably won’t until the YT edit, but whatever your reaction is you deserve praise for tackling such a extreme movie Cassie.

Nathan Jasper

People are so cruel. I'm so sorry 😞

Popcorn In Bed

i’m so sorry. This one was the one streaming free on netflix right now.

Jason Mangen

You must remember that this period is about the Passion. The week starting with His Prophesied triumphal entry into Jerusalem thru his resurrection. If you want more accurate and in depth information then I recommend watching the tv show The Chosen. The producers do a great job following the bible. The parts are extra biblical are done very well also.

Jason Mangen

The hardest role to Play is Jesus the Son of God. Most actors portay it with seriousness. Jonathan Roumie who portrays Jesus in the show The Chosen does a marvelous job showing the full spectrum of emotions of Jesus. For example when he tells Peter to cast his net one more time and there were so many fish the boat was about to capsize. Jesus stood on shore smiling and even laughing at the situation.

Cole

You can’t blame alcohol every time he goes on a racist and hateful rant. If he has issues then obviously we should be sympathetic while still akmowledgkmg and denouncing the hate he brings. His attempts at redemption have also been very poor and just result in another rant usually worse coming shortly after. It’s a shame someone with his character made this movie because clearly it affects a lot of Christian’s in a positive way and I feel could’ve been viewed in a better light if made by someone without the blemish Mel Gibson has brought to himself.

Mike Lemon

You can blame alcohol when he is drunk, which as far as I'm aware, has been every rant. Also, you should look into what is is doing for redemption, I think it may surprise you. I can share a link to an article written by a rabbi calling for forgiveness when I get home if you want.

Kristin

She should turn comments off on YouTube, that place is a cesspool.

Kristin

Real genius would be an excellent fun followup!

Jeri1979

Thank you very much for your answer. I figured out that it isnt your fault. Unfortunately Netflix Germany does not have the movie. But the version you are watching on your Netflix is definitely very different from the theatrical version. Obviously Netflix has removed the Isaiah 53:5 quote from the beginning, considering it "antisemitic" but it looks like they have also played around with the movies speed as I cant get any version to sync after the quote. :-( So for all American viewers, you have to watch the movie on Netflix, I guess an owned copy wont work. Its so frustrating, this was the only movie I was interested in this week.

Cole

Mel Gibson said deeply harmful things, and alcohol may have contributed to his lack of control, but it doesn’t absolve him. The root of those outbursts, racism, antisemitism, misogyny, reflect internal issues that existed regardless of intoxication. He was responsible for those views and their expression. However, I’ll take back his acts at redemption being poor. It does seem his behavior over the past decade suggests he has genuinely tried to change. And earned back respect from peers through consistent effort rather than image rehab. So I’ll say what he did was inexcusable. What he’s done since shows real effort, but I don’t think that should mean we have him avoid accountability, especially when the rants were so specific and targeted. I also don’t think forgiveness is owed from the communities that were hurt from his comments.

Stephen Dias

I do own this movie, but have not seen it in years. It is very hard to watch. Kevin Smith referred to it as "Hate Crime Jesus," because of the graphic violence. Maybe I'll watch it over the weekend. I can already picture what Cassie's reaction is.

Katie Jackson

I've seen this movie once and cried the entire time. I'll be skipping this one but I hope you're doing ok after the last 2 movies you watched. I definitely think you've earned an extra movie of your choice to react to, something fun.

M. Callari

Thank you for selecting this movie for a reaction. I do own it, but I was not able to sync mine with yours unfortunately. I didn't realise there are different versions of it.

Clarence Newman

Might be a good idea in this case, but I think Cassie's experienced enough by now to know what Youtube's like. She doesn't have to read the comments, she just needs to sit back and watch the Views algorithm go pleasantly crazy. Let that be her reward for making it through the film.

JL_83

saw this theatrically and then never watched it again...it was just SO hard to get through the brutality of it all

Larry Darrell

For me personally, I don’t need to see a reaction to this film. Just knowing that you, Cassie, have seen it, is enough for me. This is a film everyone should see at least once and experience for themselves. Everyone has their own beliefs and should follow their own path. The more we understand each other’s beliefs, the closer our paths become one path. I just always try to remember that… “Goodness is, after all, the Greatest Force in the World.” PS: for films or series showing Christ’s Life and Teachings I recommend… King of Kings (1961)… a Hollywood Epic on the scale of Ben-Hur, with Jeffrey Hunter (Martin Pawley in the Searchers as Jesus Christ) Or The 4 part miniseries… Jesus of Nazareth (1977)… which is highly regarded over the whole world.

Carol Rocha

I have seen this movie, 1st years ago when it came out with a church group. I must warn you, Cassie, and I know you already know this by now that this is a brutal portrayal of the hours leading up to, and the crucifixion of Christ. It is very very graphic, and hard to watch, but in reality, I’m sure it was much worse than has even been portrayed. And IMO, and my belief is that it was for us all that it was done. He gave his life freely. I believe this. I thank you for taking time to watch this movie. Yes, it has been controversial. But LOTS of movies on the channel are controversial in some ways. Btw, “Jesus” is portrayed by Jim Ka-VEE-zol. (Who also played opposite Dennis Quaid in “Frequency”!) 😊 Happy Easter to you and your family. 🌺

Carol Rocha

Agreed. Can’t wait for this next season.

Astraeos

Only thing I'm gonna say is, for this movie, probably best to avoid looking at Youtube comments. They'll probably be fine on here, but the YT comments will get wild for this movie, I feel. So probably better to just save yourself lol.

Uncle Phoenix

Love Cassie. Love Ben. Love Carly. Love everyone on this channel. Let’s Go.

djKENTO

I gotta be real… I don’t think he’s really tried to improve at all. After his interview with Joe Rogan I see a truly unhinged man who has not improved. The man physically assaulted his ex. I will never forgive a man who hits women. This is DECADES of this behavior. Since the 90s he’s been a drunk, abusive, angry man who has continuously said antisemitic, racist and homophobic things that are truly disgusting. And I haven't even started in on that weirdo Jim Caviezel and his lies and nonsense... diving head first into antisemitic blood libel conspiracies and Qanon. So gross and hateful.

Mike Lemon

"The root of those..." Ah, you're getting into a philosophical discussion (which I love). Alcohol inhibits the "rational brain," which is the check on base impulses. So which is "you," the rational and thoughtful, or the unthinking base? I tend toward the rational. Now, that doesn't absolve him from picking up the drink if he knew he had a problem, there lies his sin. I am reminded of a parable I heard from a Jewish guy (I'm paraphrasing)- A man is out walking by the river and comes across a group of women bathing. He immediately turned his head away and walked by. What was his sin? Being there in the first place. Mel shouldn't have "been there in the first place."

Carol Rocha

You did great, Cassie. ❤️🌅So proud you took this one on. Many others on the channel are controversial for different reasons, but being willing to take them all on, is just a testament to the kind of person you are! Proud to be a patron. Btw , side note, if you would like to see more about his life, miracles, His humanity, please consider watching The Chosen with Ben. Extraordinary series with amazing actors and actresses. Very well done. 👍🏼

Bill Maurer

YES !!!!!! Going to the same thing here in a moment or three. Thanks for doing this Cassie !!!

Kyle Reese Popcorn Fan

I told myself i'd never watch this again cos it was too hard but i aint skipping a reaction. Lets go.

CJgutierrez

this was a difficult watch but it’s an important watch. Appreciate you for doing it Cassie! I do suggest watching the series The Chosen if you’re looking for a portrayal of His teachings and miracles.

Rose

Cassie - I can understand why you’d be nervous about this reaction. I’ve only seen it once before and never thought I’d watch it again - but I will revisit this movie with you. I can still remember the audience reaction in the theater when it first came out - such a surreal experience - definitely once in a lifetime because I’ve never experienced anything like it again. I’m sure you’ll see an overwhelming response when this reaction hits YT. After seeing the special Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit and rare display of the Ten Commandments Scroll recently at the Reagan Library, this reaction will hit different for me.

Mark Vaderr

If only The DaVinci Code wasn't so boring. Angels & Demons is the better movie.

Mark Vaderr

I look forward to this reaction, Cassie. A powerful film that deserved a lot more respect from the Oscars that year. I understand what you mean by how you wish that they had shown more of his teachings, but that's not what this movie is about. Although they do show moments from his past, the last supper, Mary Magdalene's fate, and the sermon on the mount. Granted these moments are short, but they are depicted. God Bless You and your loved ones, Cassie. I think it's time for some lighter fare this week. 🙂

Brent Petty

Ugh. Can't get it to sync up. How long is the version you watched, Cassie?

Phil Stubblefield

I'm so sorry to hear that, Alex! Blaming people of today for acts carried out over two millennia ago is lunacy. Those who perpetrate such hateful acts have apparently never read the Bible they claim to defend. God loves and accepts all people groups, as John's vision of heaven in the book of Revelation confirms: "After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne..." (Revelation 7:9a)

TheSingulatarian

Bought this movie years ago. Never watched it because I didn't feel the need to see Jesus have the crap kick out of him. Well, it looks like today is the day. Hopefully my copy does not have DVD rot.

TheSingulatarian

Movies that are more about Jesus' life and teachings. The original King of Kings (1961). The Last Temptation of Christ The Greatest Story Ever Told Jesus of Nazareth Films about early Chistian's The Robe Quo Vadis

Mark White

Hi Cassie, i give you massive credit for giving this a go, it must of been a really tough watch for you. I will probably wait for the YT edit, but I did watch your outro. I don’t like seeing you upset, I feel like just giving you a big hug 🤗 sorry, I’m a big softy! But, I do understand your desire to watch it. Some years ago, I was at a Sunday service talking to the vicar, he asked me why I didn’t go up for communion? I told him I was sitting on the fence when it came to religion, his response was, with a cheeky smile, “that sounds like a painful place to be!” 😆 So I go every Sunday, but it’s because I take my neighbour, who I care for. He has learning disabilities and struggles to get out the house. He has no family or friends, so the only chance he has to go out and meet people is at church. So I’ve been going nearly every Sunday for 10 years. I’ve come to understand even if you believe or not, church can be (in my limited experience) a great place for people to create community, find comfort and even just talk to someone about troubles or just find some peace. I also understand Faith now, I may not have it, but I appreciate how important it can be for some. Anywho, please don’t worry about what others say, I’m sure you won’t get any bad comments on here. (Maybe stay away from YT and social media comment sections though!) You are the best ❤️

Mark White

I agree Mark, Cassie needs something light now, maybe a comedy.

Jeri1979

You have to watch the version on Netflix. They have a slightly censored and changed version online, which Cassie has watched. Theatrical version does not work unfortunately. :-(

John Sullivan

Those sound way more positive. This emphasis on suffering and how evil the jews were is such a medieval take

Larry Darrell

The Perfect follow up… The voice of God can be heard ;-)

Scott Curry

Film critic Roger Ebert called this the most violent film he had ever seen back when it came out...and this was coming from a guy who had seen over a billion movies! Definitely a rough one.

zynjams

saw this in a movie theater, with my church group. it was rough

TheSingulatarian

It mostly seemed that the Pheresis were the evil ones. There were other Jews who had compassion.

Phil Stubblefield

As a Christian, let me state unequivocally that the *Jews* as a people were not and are not evil. Rather, a specific group of Jewish leaders advocated for Jesus' crucifixion because of jealousy, fear of losing power, and in some cases a sincere belief that Jesus was a blasphemer. They expected the Messiah to be a political leader who would free Israel from Rome's dominion, never understanding that His purpose was to free us from spiritual slavery instead.

TheSingulatarian

I think is because he got in the way of the money.

Dean Holt

Sorry, I’ll be giving this one a miss, just not religious and don’t have any interest in watching it.

David Freese

I've seen the episode and I can't wait to see the reaction to The Last of Us from PiB

Romero Cetera Rivers

"The Passion of the Christ" is relentless and uncompromising in its violent portrayal of what Christians believe Jesus endured for the sins of mankind. The excruciating events of his final 12 hours of mortal life expressed the magnitude of a sacrifice with unprecedented intensity. I suspected many people would find this film disturbing, and they should. Mel Gibson felt an urgency and an obligation to depict the wages of sin in this odyssey of his faith. Jim Caviezel is a heroic Jesus, both in the tortures of his humanity and in the divinity that fortifies him to fulfill his destiny. I believe Mel Gibson has achieved what he intended: to portray Christ's surrender to the agony of the passion, with the brute strength of his images.

Mike Lemon

I assume you're being hyperbolic but, a billion seconds is about 32 years, what speed is he watching movies at?

Mark White

Yeah, the last of us, that’s light heated! 😆 Cassie, I think “National Lampoons Loaded Weapon 1”, a spoof on your Favourite Lethal Weapon. Emilio Estevez and Samuel L Jackson. Give it a try, it’s bonkers funny 😆

Patrick

Boring? I felt Angels & Demons was the slower moving film. I did like A&D better, but u can't watch a sequel before a first film of a franchise...what kind of psychopath does that? 🤣

Scott Curry

Yes, I was being hyperbolic. I know he didn't spend 200,000 years watching movies...although I'm sure he would've if he could've.

VirtuallyVeronicka

It’s a great film but I’m wiped out after each watch from all the crying 😭 but the cinematography is beautiful and the actors were amazing! Humans can be horrible and so violent towards others, but we also have the ability to love, have faith and be compassionate. Regular reminders of this to stir the emotions is good so we don’t forget!

VirtuallyVeronicka

The Last Temptation is great, I initially watched because Bowie was in it, but enjoyed it overall.

Bill Maurer

Big thank you to Cassie for reacting to this. Not a lot of people would want to do this due to the subject topic, Mel Gibson himself, and the violent nature of the story. But Cassie did and we should thank her for that. I am a Christian, raised in Protestant or Baptist upbringing, I am also the least most perfect Christian/person on this message board and I don't have to travel far to prove it. This movie portrays how brutal crucifixion was and the events that led up to it, which is found in the Gospels of the Bible. It also deals with the "Stations of the Cross" which is predominant in Catholic teachings. https://www.newsweek.com/how-romans-used-crucifixion-including-jesus-political-weapon-318934 Christ died for our sins: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 Our sins keep us from the love of God and he bore our sins for our redemption. The Romans did not kill Jesus, nor the Jews. It was our sins that led to Christs death and resurrection. This was portrayed in the movie when it was Mel Gibson's hands you see when Jim Caviezel was "nailed to the cross" not some other actor. Mel wanted to focus on the "Passion" of the Christ or his Sacrifice. There are other movies, mentioned before, that do show more of His life. But this specifically deals with the Passion. If you are agnostic or atheist, I understand why this is not on the top of your "watch list". Or those who think it is antisemitic or too violent. Okay. But Christs' death and subsequent resurrection is the main tenet to the Christian faith. I probably won't watch this till this Easter Sunday but again, I thank Cassie for watching it and sharing her faith and emotions on it.

I'm not going to subscribe to Netflix just for this, so I guess I'll wait for her YT cut. Sigh.

Mark - your neighbor is very lucky to have you. My mom’s cousin had been hospitalized with pneumonia and passed away alone in his hospital bed last week. It was very sad news because his kids and wife have had a strained relationship with him for years. My mom had a NDE after giving birth to my older sister. She recalled going thru a tube like straw, which was dark outside with bright beautiful light inside. She finally ended up on a wooden stage with two doors on each side. She first tried to go to the door on the right but it was locked. The left door was slightly open and she peeked inside to see a garden but then she heard a big booming voice say “Go Back!” She later said it was probably Saint Peter. It was a big beautiful voice but she didn’t listen and wanted to see the garden. Then the voice boomed louder: “Go Back!” She didn’t feel herself going back down but she did feel her soul join her body from her feet to the tip of her head and then she jerked and woke up. She opened her eyes and saw the anesthesiologist near her head who asked her, “Did you have a dream?” She said “No. I went somewhere.” The anesthesiologist said: “No, it wasn’t a dream. You did go somewhere.” She was a code blue but doesn’t remember how long they were trying to resuscitate her. The anesthesiologist later told her that he had several patients who had shared similar NDEs. This life-altering event just reaffirmed her faith and she no longer fears death. It also gives her peace knowing that her cousin is in a better place on the other side and not alone anymore.

Bill Maurer

according to the Bible, the first words Christ spoke were " .. Father, Father ... forgive them for they know now what they do." He sought forgiveness for those who crucified him

Rick Williams

Don't worry Cassie. I'm sure you did fine. It's not like it is Batman 89. Okay I am going to watch it now. This will be my first time.

Mark White

Wow Rose, that’s an incredible story. I glad your mom is ok and I am sorry for your Family’s loss of your moms Cousin. Thanks for sharing. ❤️

Mark White

Well said Larry. I haven’t seen King of kings and you say it’s got Jeffrey Hunter in! I might have to give it a try.

Mark White

Patrick I’m a fan of the Dan Brown trilogy of Tom hanks movies “The DaVinci Code” “Angels and Demons” and probably my favourite “Inferno” but mostly because it’s got Felicity Jones in it.

Mark White

There’s a car race movie that’s supposed to be quite funny, maybe Cassie should watch that? If I could only remember it’s name?!

Clay F

The movie is designed to bring to vivid life the nature and magnitude of Jesus’ sacrifice – an issue of theology rather than history. I am a Christian and while the Gospels are some of the best ancient sources for the crucifixion, I take the historical accuracy of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) on the crucifixion with a grain of salt. Written decades (40 to 65 years) after the crucifixion and likely not written by eyewitnesses of the crucifixion. By the time the Gospels were written, most of Jesus’ contemporaries had passed—few lived past 50. Also, while the movie does not 'fundamentally' contradict the Gospels, the vast majority of what is in the movie is not in the Gospels. Further, Gibson took inspiration from a Catholic mystic whose visions are not in the Gospels. Mel Gibson never claimed that the movie is a literal, historical account of the events. The depicted torture of Jesus is not in the Gospels and is not verifiable historical fact. While “flogging” and “beating” are attested in ancient sources, there are no descriptions or evidence for the brutal implement utilized at length and with horrific effect in the “scourging” scenes. Scourging as a practice is attested but the only weapon ever cited is a reed (Mark 15:19; Matt. 27:30). Further, the Gospels are brief: “... after having Jesus scourged, he [Pilate] delivered Him over to be crucified” (Mark 15:15; cf. Matt. 27:26). Had Jesus been tortured in an exceptional manner (that is, had he been treated more harshly and differently than other crucifixion victims), one would think that would have been mentioned. Lastly, the armed Jewish guards shown in the movie accompanying the high priests, who arrest and abuse Jesus, are pure fantasy (as are their costumes). The Romans would never have allowed the Jews to have their own army. Instead, the Gospels describe Jesus as being arrested by a “crowd of men with swords and clubs” (Mark 14:43; Matt. 26:47, refers to a “great crowd”).

Brian Smith

if you want to see the miricles and life stuff there is the chosen show

Chitown Livingston

Unbelievable... bring tissues. That and Jesus of Nazareth are my favorites!

Johnny Bullis

Hey Cassie.. if you want to see more of his life check out The Chosen on Amazon Prime.. its awesome.

Aj R

Jim Caveizel was actually struck by lightning at the site of Jesus crusifixion.

Rick Williams

Very powerful movie that I needed to see as a Christian. And I needed to see it with your reaction. This movie and your reaction moved me and touched me. Thank you. You never need to apologize for what you feel. This movie moves all who see it. Happy Easter, Cassie.

Larry Darrell

For a major studio film, King of Kings was very respectfully done. It’s a beautifully made film. An Easter regular for my family.

Steve Holton

The version watched did not stay in sync well with my purchased copy from Amazon, which looks the same as the version one would rent there. There is a version on Netflix, perhaps that will work better.

Mark Vaderr

Yep, light-hearted fare. 😂 This is why we love you, Cassie.

Mike Lemon

@Mark - You're probably thinking of The Love Bug (aka Herbie the Love Bug). That 's the only one I can think of. :-)

Mike Lemon

Da Vinci is on the "already watched" list.

SeanATX

The brutality in this film is gratuitous and hard to watch. But still, it is a well-made and effective film. I've always been fascinated by the story, though I prefer it as told in JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. Love that musical and know it practically word for word. It's certainly a lot more fun than this movie. I may not share the beliefs of those who are strongly moved by this film, but I think we could all do better by remembering to "love one another".

Jorge De La Torriente

Thank you Cassie for your reaction! As a Christian, it made me realize how much Jesus loved us that He was willing to go through that for us! If you ever get a chance to watch "The Chosen" series, you'll be able to see Jesus' relationship with HIs disciples, HIs parents, and the miracles He performed. Very true to the Bible and well done!

Reneeboy

Fersure thought this was on the do not watch list lol

Clarence Newman

Cassie would enjoy a bit of Herbie. But Mark’s right. She would love The Great Race (1965)

Mark White

That’s actually a good shout Mike. Loved that movie as a little kid. But, I was on the wind up with Clarence, with his repeated request for Cannonball run! 😄

Clarence Newman

Did someone other than me post about Cannonball Run!!?? Cassie, we've got some mob traction going on over here!

Jay

Not arguing but to offer an alternative, I would have to disagree with that basic premise. The Romans beat and whipped and scourged commonly in crucifixion as you said, because it was meant to be a brutal execution. And Jesus who openly claimed ultimate authority (being God) in a place like that and gathered crowds and following… enough to get a death sentence, yeah I’m sure he got some extra humiliation, and pain. It would almost go without saying, but then the gospels also claim it. So why doubt the gospels? Taking their claims with a grain of salt is just doubting their full legitimacy right? Written decades later, the story should be considered sullied and lost partly by oral tradition… and/or the authors just lied some and embellished on Gods behalf for “wow factor” or people couldn’t quite remember and made up details to… make the quota? Make it feel full? Lol seems so wrong. In a story already so grand as to be about Gods perfect life in human form, death and resurrection and salvation of mankind I feel like it’s counterintuitive and counterproductive on all parties behalf to go through with it like that. You know? I would wonder what is the point of faith in God if he isn’t fully forthcoming in his own story and gift to us? What do we decide about the rest of the Bible if it is full of wrong information and claims about everything… it is literally unfollowable. I think he was fully forthcoming personally. I believe God preserved His own story, and I have faith in the gospels account. Nothing can decidedly discredit the Bible, or prove it outright. That would be an endless venture(and is). At the end of the day it requires faith. So why not have faith? And agreed, for sure the movie won’t be exactly what happened lol

Clay F

Jay, thanks for the reply. Taking the historical accuracy of the Gospels on the crucifixion with a grain of salt is not a basic premise but an aside. The remainder (4 paragraphs) of my comment above has nothing to do with the accuracy of the Gospels and in fact, accepts the Gospels on the crucifixion as 100% true. Indeed, I cite to the Gospels for authority. Like I said, the Gospels are some of the best (if not the best) ancient texts on the crucifixion. The key to the bulk of my comment is that the after the aside of the grain of salt mentioned, is to accept/assume the Gospels on the crucifixion are completely accurate, and point out how the movie includes aspects not in the Gospels and THE MOVIE DEVIATES FROM THE GOSPELS. The torture of Jesus depicted in the movie is not in the Gospels. For instance, the implement used in the scourging in the movie is not in the Gospels. The Gospels only mention a reed (Mark 15:19; Matt. 27:30). The Gospels give no indication that the scourging tortue of Jesus was exceptional: “... after having Jesus scourged, he [Pilate] delivered Him over to be crucified” (Mark 15:15; cf. Matt. 27:26). The movie deviates from the Gospels in portraying armed Jewish guards accompanying the high priests, who arrest and abuse Jesus, Instead, the Gospels describe Jesus as being arrested by a “crowd of men with swords and clubs” (Mark 14:43; Matt. 26:47, refers to a “great crowd”). The are many examples in the movie that are not in the Gospels and/or deviate from (contradict) the Gospels.

Gray

I'm not religious but though i'd give it just on a pure movie based watch, pretty brutal for sure and the mother and son parts through the film we're obviously upsetting but the most engaging for me. You can tell when certain movies came out as this was definitely during the time of the slow mo shot, Mel used it quite a bit. I wish the Love aspect of what he says was more prevelant in the world we live in.

I am of two minds with this movie. For context, I was brought up in a fairly standard American Fundamentalist Evangelical Protestant Christian household, attended a private Christian high school and even went to a great books college for 4 years where I studied many of the greatest works of literature in the history of Western civilization, so while I'm pretty familiar with the Bible, I started having my own crisis of faith in my mid-to-late 20s... It was right around the time this movie came out and when I saw it it hit me like a Mack truck. I thought it was not only a great piece of cinema but a spiritually affirming work of art. I saw it three times in the theater and wept openly each time. I heard the criticisms people leveled at it (It's too violent, it's anti-semitic, and misses the point of Jesus's ministry, etc) and I dismissed them out of hand. In the years since this movie has come out, I have come to think that there is validity to many of its criticisms and Mel Gibson himself has demonstrated in his own life his need for grace and redemption, I still have great admiration for the movie, not just out of nostalgia for what it meant to me when I first saw it but out of an informed appreciation for its technical achievements. The filmmaking in it is top shelf. The gorgeous cinematography by Caleb Deschanel, the emotional score by John Debney that combines Eastern and Western instruments (and which was heavily influenced by the music Peter Gabriel wrote for Martin scorsese's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST), the editing, the costumes and the very effective decision to use Latin and Aramaic to lend the events an authenticity than most Jesus movies lack, but I am not as enamored of it as I once was (I used to watch it every Easter) and actually haven't seen in a long time, so it was interesting to revisit it with you. Your reactions are very much like the ones I and a lot of people experienced on our first viewing. It is definitely a powerful -- if very flawed -- movie that I think is still worth seeing whether one is a believer, an atheist or an agnostic or whatever (although it will undoubtedly be more compelling to people of Faith). Ultimately it's place in terms of quality media representation of Jesus Christ has been replaced for me by the new show THE CHOSEN. If you would like to watch something that goes more into Jesus's life and message, I highly recommend that. It is streaming for free on just about every platform. Good job making it through this one, Cassie. I know it was tough and you have my respect.

James M

I tell you you're braver than I am. I've never watched this and never plan to. Too much... well... just TOO MUCH. Maybe someday, but probably not.

Rose

I hadn’t seen this movie since 2004 and just realized that the Netflix version that Cassie is watching cuts out the prophecy from Isaiah. The Scripture passage from the Old Testament that is shown at the beginning of the film is from Isaiah 53:5 and reads, “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.”

Henry Graham

All in all, I think Cassie would have been better off watching The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) instead.

Bill Maurer

John 18:3 "So Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons." That was from the English Standard Version

Yaisu

I'm actually going to skip this one. I saw this movie when it first came out and didn't like it. It felt like I was watching a religious snuff film. Instead of focusing on anything good, it just focused on his death. Not the message that should've been portrayed.

John Cranberry

Its impossible to sync this movie because Cassie's version has censorship. Scenes are missing. Why does the USA do this?

Joe J

Curious why Cassie would choose a censored version?

Clay F

Stream for free on Netflix because she is subscribed to Netflix. It was the version streaming on Netflix, which is the only major service in the US that you can stream the movie for free if subscribed.

Jay Jay Reyes

Jesus of Nazareth, The Jesus movie, Son of God, The greatest story ever told. those are the stories you want

Joel P

For those having syncing problems (i.e., her reaction is slightly faster), then try this (which worked for me): 1. On a PC or laptop, right click on the YouTube video and then select "inspect". 2. Then go to the console tab in the new window that pops up and copy/paste or tvpe in: document.querySelector('video').playbackRate = 0.9591 Then hit enter.

My_Cousin_Mose

He Is Risen! I'm so glad you finally watched this. I'm not sure if it's because you were crying too much or because something else but I'm glad you didn't talk as much in this reaction. This felt very appropriate. I get what you mean but there are other movies and shows about his life and his teachings. This movie is solely about his sacrifice at the cross. Yes its very tough to watch, but it should be. He endured it for us, we can watch and really think about the pain he suffered. I hope you and anyone who reads this has a happy Easter!

Cody Nelson

I had the exact same issue and I don’t think it’s because she’s watching a censored version. I think the version she’s watching is just slightly sped up more than the Blu-ray version that I was using. I actually have two different Blu-ray copies and they both have two slightly different run times because for some reason, I think they slightly sped up the movie for some reason in later versions.

bknsty14

I watched along on Netflix and had zero issues. Perfectly synched start to finish.

bknsty14

It's was exactly the message that was intended. It was an accurate description of what Jesus endured. It is supposed to make you uncomfortable. It is what one man went through for the sins of all man. He suffered for us. And I'm not even religious.

bknsty14

I have it on my screen right now. He was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our inequities; by His wounds we are healed. Is it that it's not verbatim to the quote you wrote or are you saying it's missing altogether?

bknsty14

Saw is fiction. This actually happened.

Clay F

Bill, thanks for the cites. Happy Easter. Those "soldiers" are Roman. NASB (arguably the most literal of all English translations) refers to that band of soldiers as a "Roman cohort." NLT/NLV describe them as "contingent of Roman soldiers." KJV merely refers to "Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons." New American Standard Bible John 18:3 "So Judas, having obtained the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons." NASB 1995 John 18:3 "Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons." New Living Translation John 18:3 "The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove."

Clay F

The article on Josephus you cite does not say “meant” to expose bones but instead says “could” expose bones. The livescience cite you give does not mention bones. Neither talk about the Jesus crucifixion in particular. The brutality of the scourging depicted in the movie for Jesus in particular is not biblical nor verifiable historical fact. Again, Mel Gibson never claimed the depicted crucifixion to be a literal historical retelling. Aspects of crucifixion embellished include Jesus carrying the entire weight of the cross himself. Only John (John 19:17) specifically says Jesus carried his cross, whereas others (Matthew 27:31-32, Luke 23:26 ) include Simon of Cyrene, who was recruited by the soldiers from the crowd to carry or help carry the cross. The modern interpretation by scholars is that Jesus initially carried the crossbar (patibulum) and that Simon was assigned to help carry the crossbeam (stipes) once they reached the place of execution. Further, even the nailing to the cross is debated, with historians stating that it was likely Jesus was tied to the cross, not nailed. And if nailed, nailed through the wrists, not the hands. The movie has biblical and historical inaccuracies, or dramatizations or poetic license. The opening scene shows Jesus Christ praying in the garden of Gethsemane. He is approached by an androgynous figure in a dark cloak, the implied embodiment of Satan. A giant snake appears at the feet of Satan and slithers over to Jesus before he stomps it to death. There is no evidence of Jesus slaying serpents or being tempted by the devil in the garden of Gethsemane in the Bible. Another is the creepy demon baby shown mocking Jesus as he is being tortured. This disturbing baby, with its chalk-white complexion and deformed features, being held by Satan, is not mentioned in the Bible. Jesus is portrayed as being fluent in Latin in the film, but in reality, it is highly unlikely that Jesus spoke more than a few words of Latin. There is also the scene depicting Jesus inventing the dining room table, a completely false claim. *Jesus Invents Tables & Chairs Mel Gibson added content: a flashback scene that shows Jesus inventing a table. The scene references Jesus working as a carpenter, providing for his mother's needs. Little is known of Jesus' life between his childhood and the beginning of his public ministry, but he's believed to have apprenticed to his father as a carpenter, and practiced the family business until he reached the age of 30. Gibson imagines a strange scene in which Jesus invents tables and chairs, which are far from historically accurate. This is entirely fictional, serving to establish the closeness of the relationship between Jesus and his mother Mary, and it has the added benefit of hinting Jesus' Divine knowledge informed him all his life.

Clay F

*Mary Magdalene as the Woman Caught in Adultery. A flashback in the movie retells one of the most powerful scenes in the Gospel. In this scene, Jesus is confronted about a woman who had been caught in adultery, and — as the law mandated — he was offered the chance to begin stoning her to death. He refuses to do so, instead scrawling something mysterious in the sand and inviting anyone who is without sin to cast the first stone. This appears to have been one of the early Church's favorite accounts of Jesus, demonstrating his character and his grace, because he alone was perfect and thus had the right to cast that stone. The movie portrays this scene using Monica Bellucci's Mary Magdalene; however, the Bible never specifies that the adulterous woman is Mary Magdalene, Jesus' devout apostle. The conflation of these two Biblical women is a Catholic tradition, one questioned today by modern Bible scholars. *The Garden of Gethsemane Is Transformed Into A Temptation. In the Bible, Jesus heads to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray in order to prepare for the Cross. The Catholic mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich recast this as a moment of temptation, envisioning the Devil as present, attempting to persuade Jesus not to go to the Cross, and Gibson follows that pattern. He presents Jesus resisting the temptation, and crushing a serpent beneath his heel in quite a heavy-handed allusion to Genesis 3: 15, the first Messianic prophesy in the Bible. This scene strikes at an interesting theological tension in the Bible because some verses suggest the Devil did indeed initially attempt to persuade Jesus to avoid the Cross, particularly Mark 8:33; when Jesus committed to his death regardless, Satan attacked him with all the force he could muster (Colossians 2:15). *Judas Iscariot. The movie adapts the story of Judas Iscariot, emphasizing that Judas was manipulated into betraying Jesus by Satan. When Judas comes to greet Jesus in the Garden, he is at the head of a large number of Jewish temple guards. In reality, political and religious tensions in Israel would have meant the Romans would never have allowed the Jews to assemble anything like this kind of private army. According to the Gospels, Judas was accompanied by a large crowd of men armed with swords and clubs (Matthew 26: 47, Mark 14: 43). See also the discussion above regarding John 18:3. Later, the guilt-stricken Judas is confronted by the man he has betrayed when Jesus falls down the side of the bridge. Later, the suicide of Judas is embellished in a shocking and dramatic way, with Judas taunted by Satan and a group of demonic children -- not in the Bible. Gibson's portrayal of Judas is heavily influenced by the visions of Mary of Jesus of Ágreda.

Clay F

*Mary Watches As Jesus Is Whipped. As Jesus is being tortured, his mother Mary awakens with fear in her heart. This is from the Dolorous Passion of Anne Catherine Emmerich (written by poet Clemens Brentano, who interviewed Emmerich) which reads, "During this agony of Jesus, I saw the Blessed Virgin also overwhelmed with sorrow and anguish of soul... I saw these interior movements of her soul towards Jesus... I beheld the spiritual communication which they had with each other." Mary rushed to be with her son, and watched as he was whipped; in the mystic Anne Catherine Emmerich's account, the wife of Pontius Pilate took sympathy on her, and gave her a linen cloth. When Jesus was taken away from the whipping-yard, Mary used the cloth to mop up the blood of her son. Pilate's wife plays a far less significant role in the Biblical accounts. In Matthew 27:19, Pilate's wife has a nightmarish dream and warns her husband to have nothing to do with what is happening to Jesus, but that is the limit of her participation in the Crucifixion narrative. This particular aspect of the movie has actually been surprisingly controversial because it creates a positive image of Pilate and his wife, even though Pilate himself was something of a brutal tyrant in historical accounts. *The Movie includes Includes Saint Veronica. The movie scene in which an unnamed woman mops Jesus' face, with her cloth marked with an image of Christ's face = This is the Catholic Saint Veronica, who is only mentioned in extra-Biblical accounts, and who was featured prominently in Anne Catherine Emmerich's visions. She is the patron saint of French craftsmen called mulquiniers, as well as of photographers.

Eric Mast

When watching this or reading about the Passion in the Scripture it helps if you keep in mind that all of this that Jesus endured was to save His fallen, rebellious creation and to demonstrate to the world the depth of God's love for humanity. The suffering in the Garden was for our failure in the Garden and all the way to the resurrection where He was raised so we could be raised it is all for us.

LukeG84

Second time watching this movie. It's a tough watch even for an atheist like me because it's just so realistic. Props to Jim Caviezel on an amazing performance, I truly believed his pain.

VOCFM

People who call this torture porn are debased and their souls are rotted

VOCFM

Aw God Bless you Cassie, this was the most genuine reaction ive seen for this. ignore the manifestation in the comments about this movie. It was touching you couldn't speak while watching it. Christ is King

VOCFM

I find it funny how people in the comments have to specifically come out of the woodwork to say that they're going to pass on this movie because they're just not interested in it, implying that they would ever make that comment on literally any movie but this one or other Christian movies. There's plenty of movies on here that I don't have any interest in watching because I'm just not into the genre but I don't feel the need to go on there and say that I'm going to not watch it because I'm not interested. Just say that you hate Christianity and God and don't try to pretend like you're just quote not interested

Andrew

That was very authentic reaction and a very thought compelling film of Jesus Christ. I really enjoyed watching it and I can still remember watching this film years when I was living in Mary Esther Florida and how powerful it felt to me. Thanks Cassie!

ricky hart

I watched this reaction 9 months ago when it was new, and I am ashamed of the comments I left about it. Just recently I have decided to accept Jesus back into my heart as my lord and saviour, and all I can say is please forgive me lord and please forgive me Cassie. I was a fool, but my eyes are open now.
