Good Friday, lots of twilight thoughts on the crucificion, every channel is showing some film or other, the religous parades in Sevilla, really makes this time quite intense.
I watched for the first time,"The Passion"by Mel Gibson, it was a strong film, I think the best and most realistic version I have seen, before the film I liked most was " The Greatest Story Ever Told".
I wanted to see this film for so long,but people put me off, saying it was bloody and horrific. However, to crucify someone is a bloody and horrific act, so I think the film portrays the awfulness so well. I cried during the film, it touched my soul....therefore I think Mel Gibson got it exactly right. We are meant to cry, and shudder and close our eyes at the pain endured. It is for us to remember.....and I did.
