Clip from movie N1- This is a scene from The Passion of The Christ. Sound from movie N2 - The movie premiered in sold-out theatres Wednesday. The story, told in Latin and Aramaic, depicts the final 12 hours of the life of Christ. Director Mel Gibson calls it "real." Mel Gibson "I want people to understand the reality….I want them to feel." N3 - The portrayal of Christ's suffering is brutal and graphic. Vatican officials see this ultimately as a teaching tool. "When you see the film you'll want to avert your gaze…I don't want to look at this." N4 - And, it's controversial. While some people are pleased with director Mel Gibson's interpretation, critics charge that it's historically inaccurate and anti-Semitic - blaming Jews for Christ's death. Vatican clip In "But the gospels do not set out to portray the Jews as responsible…I think they would say 'well they all are.'" N5 - Members of the Londonderry Presbyterian Church made an evening of the movie's release. First in the theater. Then, in a public discussion at the church. Clips: Brian Wagoner "I cried. I'm not afraid to admit that. It's very emotional, just to see the suffering that Christ went through to serve us." James Riggins "When I got into the car, it's not that I couldn't speak, I just didn't have anything to say. My friend who was giving me a ride was saying 'what did you think of the movie?' I couldn't even say it, exactly what I felt. It was just like 'wow.' Reverend Samuel Schreiner III "I think that this vehicle will be the movie by which many people leaving The Passion will learn of the passion of Christ. I think we're a very visual culture and I think that many people who have not read the gospels, or would not take the time to, would see a movie like this. Though, I do think it will be important, as I talked to some of my colleagues and my friends, that, if this is going to show the agony of Christ, I think it's important to preach the ecstasy, to preach the resurrection, to preach the whole context of his life, to put this movie into context with all that Jesus means." Sheila DuBois "I like that it made Jesus more human. It made me relate to Mary, the mother of Jesus, the way she was chasing Jesus as a baby when he fell. I do that to my children. And the pain of having to watch your son be crucified, that affected me as a mother." Brian Wagoner "I knew it was going to be violent and gory but I didn't actually think it would be quite as much as it was. I still think that, though I had to close my eyes, it needed to be seen." Michael Stallone "It's not ever a pleasant thing to see someone suffer as much as he did. Through really the dramatic suffering he did, it wasn't pleasant to watch. I can't say that I enjoyed it, the whole thing, but it was accurate." Reverend Samuel Shreiner III "I think it was Mel Gibson's view of the Passion. There are many accurate and shocking details that scouraging and crucifiction inflict and I'm sure Christ went through those but there are some things that he has woven into the characters that are not accurate by bibilical standards and that's probably the best historical record. So I would say that they're not exactly accurate." For NH Outlook, I'm Susan Hajdu. |

The Anti-Defamation League has criticized the film for being anti-semetic. In a statement on its website, the ADL says "Gibson's unambiguous portrayal of Jews as being responsible for the death of Christ represents a potential setback for Jewish-Christian relations. The movie repeats stereotypes and images surrounding the death of Jesus that have generated anti-semitism for 2000 years." |

| Intro Joshua Return to index of stories... |
Finally, if you have a son or daughter - who's out, driving at night during the winter months, you've probably felt more than just a little relief when you heard the sound of the car pulling up to your home. Almost 3 years ago, 2 friends. travelling on a dark, icy, New Hampshire road. never made it back home. Their car skidded off the road, killing the passenger and shattering dozens of lives. The young man behind the wheel didn't spend a lot of time in jail. Instead, he's told his sad tale to young men and women all over the Granite State. As Allison McNair reports, it's a story about love, loss, grief, forgiveness and "Joshua Moments." |
