I cried (well, more like sobbed) during the movie and for days I had the images of the whipping, crucifixion and the gut-wrenching scene of Mary, the mother of Jesus, running to him while falling on the Via Dolorosa. As a christian woman, I felt a lot of conviction when I watched the movie. I have the DVD and I’ve never brought myself to watch it at home. I watched the movie twice in the movie theater, the week it opened. Is there a lot of violence in the movie? Yes, there is. My 14 year old son is old enough to watch and understand the sentiments and violence that surrounds the events in the movie. There is no way that I would let my 7 and 6 year old watch the movie. Watching The Passion of the Christ is not one them.
There are plenty of videos for kids to watch and learnabout the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. But it’s Easter and I want them to see the true meaning of Easter and the resurrection!
