Movies Can be Life Changing Experiences

It isn't so much surprising that a movie can change a person's life. I find it strange, though.

I still haven't brought myself to watch it...i think I am scared, more than anything. Of what? I am not sure.

Brutal violence as entertainment?

i'm not one of those people that dragged people to the theater to watch the movie. i did watch it, and i did find value in it.

if you are a non-christian and find no truth and don't believe the story of Christ then seeing the movie serves no purpose.
if you do find truth in the story of Christ then you may find value in the movie, not as entertainment, but as a reminder. too many reduce the crucifixion to a neat, artistic view of Jesus on the cross, and leave it at that. the movie serves to remind one of what a real crucixion looked, sounded, and felt like. nothing pretty or artistic about it.

no, probably of losing 2 hours of time I could have been doing something more interesting or productive.

Okay, the brutal violence doesn't appeal much, either.
