(Couldn't bring myself to see Gibson's, but that's because I simply don't want those visuals in my head.)
Go see it, Serai, I highly recommend Gibson's take on the Passion of Christ. The visuals are hard, but they are honest and true. In many ways, I think of this movie more as a cinematic experiment than a big box-offices movie. The way the language works is astounding. The impact this movie had on me - a lesbian and a Catholic who left the church - was intense. This will sound corny as hell but, really, the movie made me want to be be a better person. :) Not exactly what Gibson might have had in mind,
