pam Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 No need to go to lds.org to watch it. It's on the main page of lds.net if you haven't noticed. An excellent video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Yes, we watched it as a family yesterday. I do think it's interesting how the church has evolved over the years in showing the last days of Christ's life. In the past the Church would never show Him near, or especially on, the cross.

prisonchaplain Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Some criticize Mel Gibson's cinematic meditation on the Passion for being too graphic. While the Easter video clip was sweet, and poignant, perhaps it was too sanitary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_A_Guy Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) That thought came to me as well. On Saturday I tried to find a song I hadn't heard since I was a little boy--Via Dolorosa--and came across a with footage from Gibson's movie (which I have not seen) set against the song as background.Definitely not the portrayal of the Crucifixion that I'm used to seeing. That said, the footage in the Easter video comes from The Testaments--a movie I find problematic on a multitude of levels. I much prefer The Lamb of God.

While the Easter video clip was sweet, and poignant, perhaps it was too sanitary?There were some good points made in the movie the Passion of the Christ. One major disappointing factor was the 60 second clip of the Resurrection and the unbalanced focus on His mother Mary. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was very important. Why would you only show a one minute clip of this in a 126 minute film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One major disappointing factor was the 60 second clip of the Resurrection and the unbalanced focus on His mother Mary. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ was very important. Why would you only show a one minute clip of this in a 126 minute film? Many have criticized this factor. I have three thoughts:1. Gibson wanted to focus on Jesus' suffering, his passion for us. This was a Good Friday film, not an Easter one.2. Gibson is Catholic, after all--so the focus on Mary is understandable. I didn't find it obsessive or overly distracting.3. Ironically, the 60-second resurrection shows just how quickly the Son of God's suffering turned to victory. In a moment, God the Father trumps the seeming defeat of hours of torturous humiliation.

Still_Small_Voice Posted April 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 I am glad Mel Gibson did release the film despite its shortcomings. Many movies reflect who controls Hollywood presently and are simply not worth seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bobby292929 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 · Hidden Hidden I grew up mormon in sandy city utah. It is a distructive cult and its negative affects on society, especially women. Mormonism is an infectious disease that needs to be whiped out..

Does BYU also block embedded YouTube videos?Yes, and every other video sharing site's embedded videos. I might trek over to the nearest place that has free wi-fi when I have time.
