Finally, the day has arrived. While I won\’t see The Passion of Christ until Sunday, I have watched the Primetime Live interview with Mel Gibson as well as The Making of the Passion which showed on PAX TV this evening. It\’s not like the ending can be spoiled.
The reviewers are beginning to chime in, and sure enough, the folks at The New York Times just don\’t get it. But who expected they would? As for the rest of the reviewers, the film is averaging a \”B\” grade. Pretty darned good for a film that may \”ruin\” Mel Gibson\’s career, if you can believe that absurb mantra.
I am eager to see the response from NON-churched people. As for me, I am looking forward to experiencing the film for myself on Sunday. Our rather large church has bought out two showings of the film, so it should be an interesting viewing.
