I forgot to mention --


Another "Pro":

Our Blessed Mother was present during Our Lord's sufferings in her true role as co-Redemptrix. She was on one of the front burners, as it were, not the back burner or stuffed into a back cabinet. This very Catholic view of the Passion of Our Lord should give Prottys something to think about!

One of my favorite parts of the movie was when St. Peter knelt in front of Our Lady and called her Mother ... grieving over having betrayed the Lord.  That probably stuck in the craws of millions of the Prots watching.  It clearly demonstrates how Our Lady might intercede with her Son on behalf of sinners.

The Passion of the Christ
I strictly use it so that the children have a visual image of the Sorrowful Mysteries. The movie does a great job of showing the severe beating and disrespect that was given to Our Lord. The Agony in the Garden is the exception, nothing there to see.  I fast forward to devil parts, and shorten the scourging. There is much to meditate on.

I agree.  The Agony in the Garden was not particularly well done.

I really enjoyed when Our Lord started conversing with Pilate in Latin (to Pilate's surprise) ... showing His knowledge as God, despite obviously never having formally studied the language.
