Passion of the Christ
Now when I say this film was too much, I’m not kidding. It’s already based off a sensitive story (the final hours of Jesus’ life and his resurrection), but this film, a good one if you really think about it, was a bit too violent, bloody and over-the-top for me. Watching the individual playing Jesus get stabbed, have his skin rip off when whipped, get spit on while carrying the cross was just so extreme for me. It didn’t help that these graphic scenes went on FOREVER–you would have thought the movie was like four hours when it was actually only two thanks to the dragging brutality you have to bear witness to. Roger Ebert, who loved the movie and gave it four stars said, “This is the most violent movie I’ve ever seen.” Yeah, he’s not kidding folks. Great story, but way too gorey for me to watch again.
