Life, the universe and ... oh, whatever ...

I survived

watching the entire ”Passion of the Christ” movie. They really should be giving out t-shirts with that written on it.

A couple of years later than most others but still last night I sat down and watched “The Passion of the Christ” on DVD. This is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I really don’t see what all the fuss was about when it was first released in the movies. It’s another splatter movie, and not a very good one either. As my friend was commenting “This movie should’ve been called how to turn a man into a piece of raw meat in 2 hours”. There’s really nothing else going on in this movie than lots of people beating the crap out of a man. And after they’ve beaten him in all sorts of ways, with blood all over the abusers and the ground and oh well everything for an hour you’re just fed up with it you know. I considered giving up on the whole movie because I was so bored, but at the same time I had decided to see it so I forced myself to sit through another hour of it.

It sure makes me wonder about what goes on inside that head of Mel Gibson though, to think that a 2 hour beating of a man makes for good entertainment. Maybe he gets off at violence? I know there’s got to be something. Because no one really knows how Jesus was treated the last days of his life, if we assume that the stuff written in the Bible is true it’s not by far detailed enough to justify a movie like this. The topic of Jesus’ last days could have been presented in so many ways and Mr Gibson decides to make a splatter movie out of it, weird choice if you ask me.

So if you have nothing to do, absolutely nothing at all to do – DON’T see this movie. It will only be a complete waist of another 2 hours of your life that you’ll never get back. Staring at the wall for 2 hours would probably be a much better use of your time.
