I watched this over the course of two nights. I enjoyed it.
I understand it was a greek novel first. I started the novel on a kindle sample, and I may read the whole novel, but the ending to the movie was the pinnacle of the whole concept for me. The encounter with a still living uncrucified Jesus with an unphased road to Damascus Paul was terrific. The last seconds of the film was one of the better endings I have seen in a film. David Bowie played Pontius Pilate. I had some respect for Scorsese as a filmmaker, but I never connected to a film he made as I did with this one. Interestingly, the film was on tv to capitalize on Gibson's Passion when I was a teenager, and I remember having vehement hate for its depiction of Christ. It is a good thought-piece despite it's blasphemous portrayal of Christ. Have you seen it? Edited by working out eating chips, : No reason given.

I read the book, and saw the original B&W version, back in the 60's. Caused quite a stir over blasphemy.

I've seen it and I've mentioned it at least once here at EvC.
I like Paul's idea that it doesn't matter whether Jesus was crucified and rose from the dead or not; what matters is that people believe in the myth. (I don't think he actually called it a myth.) Truth may be stranger than fiction but fiction is often more powerful than truth.

He might be talking about King Of King from Cecil B. DeMille, which was a silent movie. It had a 1961 remake.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a good film that shows something about religion directed by Ridley Scott. It is only sort of accurate but gives a good representation of the kind of things that were going on during the crusades around the yr 1100.
I enjoyed this scene.

This is more of an action/fantasy movie, but its got a lot of religious elements to it:
Constantine (2005) Hopefully you can get passed Keanu... Here's the scene where he meets with the Angel Gabriel: http://youtu.be/-828wM9lpLw This next one isn't really a "religious" movie per se, but the interactions between the Chrisians and the Vikings is a central theme to the movie.
The Vikings (1958) Here's a scene where the Christian pricess is getting hit on by the viking slave: http://movieclips.com/...ikings-movie-a-joining-of-the-flesh

severely interested in seeing Terrence Mallick's "A Hidden Life" which depicts the martyr life of a Catholic conscientious objector to the third reich.
the title appeals to me. despite being two of the most important people in Christian history, little is known of the hidden lives of Joseph and Mary. Jgersttter was a true catholic in a time of cowards Edited by messenjaH of oNe, : No reason given.

I forget...did you and Charlie grow up Catholic?
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. ~RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith You can "get answers" by watching the ducks. That doesn't mean the answers are coming from them.~Ringo
Subjectivism may very well undermine Christianity.In the same way that "allowing people to choose what they want to be when they grow up" undermines communism.~Stile

yes, but we were also sent to fundamentalist bible camps every summer for 7-8 years
we were unhappy about being confirmed, but when i protested my father slapped the shit out of me. ironically, my father doesn't practice catholicism now and i do. charlie's a biblical literalist and doesn't attend services. i was taking him to mass, but he disrespected some of the priests verbally and doesn't believe in Mary. you can't know Jesus without Mary and Joseph. it's impossible. Jesus loves Mary. that's his mother. He loves Joseph, that's his foster father. confession is another bugaboo for charlie. confession adminstered correctly is godly. many parish priests butcher the sacrament.
