I just got home from seeing this movie with my co-worker. It is quite the powerful film. I do encourage everyone to see it with their families. It is not however a movie that you would see as a social outing where you kick back and have popcorn and a soft drink. I actually had hershey's kisses in my purse for my coworker and I to munch on and just couldnt open my purse to get them out(good thing we ate some before the movie).

If you havent seen it but are planning to, please keep the following in mind. It is violent. It is gory. It is not for children or immature teens. It is okay to shed tears. It is okay if you need to close your eyes or turn away (you will still hear the violence and torture). It is okay if you need to step out of the theater. It is okay to ask questions. It is okay to ask why.

Also as a personal opinion, I did not see anything at all anti-semitic about this movie. It even says in there, or GREATLY IMPLIES rather, that the sins of humanity killed Jesus.

I'm still taking in this movie. It has impacted me enough at this point to make a few changes in my life, has given me what I needed to settle a particular family matter, and has made me quite...........I dont want to say anxious or uneasy.......but I cant really describe the feeling. My hope is I dont have a panic attack about it and vomit up my pasta I ate for dinner (which is what happened the last time a movie got to me a few years ago).

I'll post more tomorrow after I've let it sink in some more.
