passion

in case you haven't seen it, the newsweek article about "the passion" is worth a read. the author takes a mostly secular historical criticism kinda stance, but is generally balanced within his viewpoint. if that makes sense.

I'm wondering if there will be a sequel? according to the article, the resurrection is briefly depicted at the end of the movie, so that answers the biggest question I had. even still, the time after the crucifixion to the resurrection and ascention would make for a fine film too.

I've been praying that the film and the reaction to it will spark a real revival. I think that we'll "look upon the one we have pierced" and we'll never be the same. our culture is so visual, I believe it's gonna make an impact like little else can, especially considering how film is the art of the people, or something like that. I bet the antisemitism accusations will fall away like the foolishness they are.

I'm surpised how little our chattablogging community has discussed this. we'll see what happens.
