Passion of the Christ
I finally saw this and totally missed ANY antisemitic vibe at all. Do people say it was antisemitic simply because the people in the crowd were Jews? Maybe I am just too Gentile-centric but I saw that as factual, not antisemetic, and I didn't think the fact that they were Jews was really over the top.
I didn't think the movie was as earth shattering as it was made out to be. Then again, I was drunk on gin and tonics -- we had to use up the last of our Tanqueray 1) now that it is fall and gin and tonics are sooooo not appropriate anymore and 2) because we thought it better to share than to split this up in the divorce. Is it wrong to depose a man you are divorcing while watching the Passion?
I went to church Sunday (the next day) and the substitute pastor told us all about how this is the WORST the world has EVER been and that we should all vote and the church would lose its tax exempt status if he told us for whom but that he would counsel people privately after the service if they were seeking answers for God's way. WHAT!!???? I am not a My Dad fan but at least he is a good preacher and would never do something like THAT. Jesus!
