The Passion of The Christ

Roger Ebert,

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST / **** (R)

I said the film is the most violent I have ever seen. It will probably be the most violent you have ever seen. This is not a criticism but an observation; the film is unsuitable for younger viewers, but works powerfully for those who can endure it. The MPAA's R rating is definitive proof that the organization either will never give the NC-17 rating for violence alone, or was intimidated by the subject matter. If it had been anyone other than Jesus up on that cross, I have a feeling that NC-17 would have been automatic.

Has anybody gone watch the Passion of Christ yet?

My Mother and I went to watch the movie today and I have to say...WOW, it's a powerful film but it is one of the most violent movies I ever seen, it was just horrifing! :shock: Mel Gibson did a very great job directing the movie and the cast was great as well. I have to give Passion of Christ an A.

I thought NC-17 is worse than R?? Hmm, let me research on that..

Yes, NC-17 is worse than R. With R, a parent can bring a child over 13 with him. With NC-17, you must be 18 or older... no matter what. (No parents, No grandparents, No one... only you!)

What if, some parents allow their kids under the age of 18 to watch it with the parents' permission on their own? I mean, what if, they don't listen what "NC - 17" says and even, thou if, they don't agree what "NC - 17" about that movie, hmm? Children heard news, radio, talks from people around and all that they heard many bloody things too...for example: War in Iraq and kids know what "war" is and it is bloody violence as well. :/
 
Well I can't watch it cuz They do not have Closed Caption In Cleveland.. Some In Columbus and Cinn. So I guess.. I would have to wait until it is out on DVD.. Or see it in New York.. When We Visit a few AD'ers There...


What do you think ^Angel^? :)

No, it's a strict rule... that they follow those ratings. If the theater lets a person who's underage enter, they would get in trouble.
  • G: General Audiences (All Ages Admitted)
  • PG: Parental Guidance Suggested (Some Material May Not Be Suitable for Children)
  • PG-13: Parents Strongly Cautioned (Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13)
  • R: Restricted (Under 17 Requires Accompanying Parent or Adult Guardian)
  • NC-17: No One 17 And Under Admitted

Two things could happen. This same thing happened with Showgirls. Showgirls was released in theaters at NC-17. They wanted to allow Blockbuster Video to rent the movie so they cut some parts out so that they could show the R version. Some other stores did still get the NC-17 version. They might do the same for this movie.

Actually, Mel Gibson spent $25,000,000 of his own money to have the movie produced. It's done in 3 dead languages and no Hollywood studio would produce it.

It's funny the way you put "3 dead languages". :laugh2: But, I totally understand what you talk about. :lol: Mel Gibson ain't dumbo about Hollywood Studio's schemes since he's been an actor for many years. :p
 
Cheri-You do not have to wait until it's closed caption, it already have english subtitles throughout the whole movie because the people are talking in a different language so you can go anytime you want. :mrgreen:
