These Movies Are Horrible

We dont have R, we haver 12A (only 12 or older unless uccompanied by an adult), 15 (15 or older), 18 (18 or older) and then U (suitable for all).
 
ERmm..... I always do this - not sure whether the questions directed at me or not - but Ill answer it anyway.

No the Passion of the Christ was an 18 in Britain.

I haven't seen the second version... is it like a watered down version of the original???

I find that... I dunno... not right... I don't think that we should "water down" the truth of Christ's suffering... what happened happened... it shouldn't be watered down to make veiwing it easier, or not make us feel as bad about what Christ REALLY suffered for us.

Just my thought on the subject.

The Passion focused a lot on the physical suffering of Christ, but not a lot on why he actually was doing it. lol people went to the movie and came back saying, "I've seen the movie..but I still don't know why Christ died on the cross."

I don't need to look at Christ's physical suffering to appreciate or understand exactly what he did for me.

But that is a totally different subject so I'd better not get started; I could go on all day. ;)
 
I would really like to reply to this and I will later, I really agree with both Gymf and
T_F...There are reasons for which Mel Gibson had to water it down.
 
Me neither..

Anyway, I just saw the BBC movies. I thoght they were Craptastic.(I just made that word up.)I hated them with passion and most of the talking animals scared the crap out of me. Especially Mr. Beaver. :) Aleast for the most part they kept true to the story.

*draws sword* I shall defend the BBC's honor!

Ok, so the 'special effect were bad but these were made-for-TV movies seventeen years ago...let's give them a little bit of leniency. There were doing the best they could with what they had and managed to produce a series of 'quaint' movies that, to me anyway, captured the spirit of the books.

I loved some of the actors in those movies, (of note the people who played Mr. Tumnas, the Professor, Mr. Beaver and Puddleglum!) and even the ones I didn't like (Lucy! Lucy! Lucy!) I accepted in the given role, and even have an affection for.

I hope the new movies are as true to the books as the BBCs.
 
I'm coming to your aid Gray! *Starts biting at leash and trying to uproot the post its attached to* NEVER INSULT THE BBC VERSIONS!!!!!!
