The Passion of the Christ.

[DanaC]

I dont really think I want to watch this film. ...I find it hard to suspend disbelief as soon as it involves events I was taught by my teachers to view as history and then discovered were actually up for interpretation.....

I find any movie that takes as it's base an assumed existence of God or an assumption of historical accuracy on events that are unproved difficult to get into. Not just the serious stuff. I found that Jim Carey film fell flat for me for the same reason. ....Just the way I am. I dont mind films where the characters hold a religious belief, I can empathise with them and their belief...I just find it hard to get into a film which needs the audience to assume an existence of God or the truth of those events for the plot to work.

I am intrigued though to know how you guys got along withthe Aramaic? Did it work? Did it heighten the sense of immersion in a time and place?
