Curious


I was just wondering if the violence in the movie is particularly graphic?

Just the crucifixion scene might make some squeamish people faint.

reply

I'm not too squeamish, but I cried from the brutality of it. Especially since the women and children were made to watch. The children had nightmares for weeks, according to the book.

reply

It's more implied than graphic, but it's very clear what's going on - nails put through Joe's hands, and his back being flogged, but what's shown is from a distance and doesn't last very long. I really don't think it would make anyone faint - at least not in the version I watched.

reply

There were people who had heart attacks and died while watching Passion of the Christ so you never know what some people can handle and what they cannot. I'd err on the side of caution.
