All I have to say is WOW. I've never seen such an impactful movie ever in my life. Everyone was crying, praying, and otherwise silent.
I wouldn't say that Satan was portrayed as a woman....it was definitley an androgynous character. I think it's just that it was played by a woman. I honestly think that the character wasn't necessary, and it almost ruined the movie for me. I don't think Satan should have had an actual person for its portrayal, but rather a symbol or an idea, you know? Mary Magdelene is a big part in the Bible, also. Society generally degrades prostitutes as less worthy, but Christ accepted Mary openly when she came to him for help to turn her life around.
The gore wasn't as bad as I thought, but mostly because I was prepared for it. But there is a lot of blood, I'll tell you that.
Jenny, I really think that you should see this movie since you're the big producer around her. Maybe you should see it and share some fo your thoughts.
Actually, I think that EVERYONE should see it. It's very moving and it makes you think. OHHHHHHHH I meant to say that I don't think the movie shows Jews as the killer of Christ. In fact, they pull a Jew out of the crowd and he helps Jesus carry his cross. He ends up saving Jesus from a probable death from their beatings.
Anyway, go see this movie, then think about it for a while. If you have anymore questions, just ask!
