It was a life changing experience for me. Mel Gibson has created a masterpiece. I sat in the theatre surrounded by middle America and I believe its' significance is that it meant something different to everyone there. The movie transcended the violence. No LA, New York, or Chicago critics could dampen the spirit felt in that theatre. It does not matter what they think of it only what you think of it. Vicki Pestorious

There is a really, really nice copy of the movie available on the internet. Released by Centropy a couple days ago.

Even if you think the ALEDC is a good idea, do you really want to put Sparks and Bishop in charge of all the economic development in Albert Lea?

I see by your avatar what your religion (or lack thereof) is...but I still respect YOUR opinion minnow.
What a dose.

Finally got in to see it tonite, had to buy the ticket at the 4:00 showing for the 6:45 show. Awesome, it really was a earthmoving experience. Some of the scenes caught me looking away. But, not for more than a few seconds. It definately makes you reflect and re-evaluate the petty things that we bicker about, material things and just common everyday worries. I highly recommend it.

Oh please! It's a movie. Gibson should make money at this movie ... he put his money and time into it. No one asks other people to work for nothing.

| Quote (fresno @ Mar. 13 2004,11:08:am) | you ain't much of a Christian, read the Bible! you should have paid attention more in confirmation!
gibson is padding his nest with this movie, that isn't right. if gibson was a real Christian, he would give that money to charity or the needy. |
I'm glad to see reading the bible is important to you fresno. From your post though, I'm wondering if you skipped all the parts that say you shouldn't judge others?

What I feel is the gift that Mel Gibson has given us is that we are talking and discussing Christ and religion. Plus, I was wondering if anyone out there believe that when the devil was holding the child with the warts etc. Mel was attempting to get the point across that the devil has our children cradled in his bosom? Sort of like he was sarcastically grinning at us and saying "I've got them, they're mine" ? And when the devil was defeated at the end, and he ripped off his hood, did anyone else think that he looked like a modern day rock star? These thoughts went through my mind and I was wondering what others thought?
