Something is drawing me so strongly to see The Passion, and my family and I will be going this weekend. My son just called and said he got tickets. Can't wait!

You'll have to give us a review. Tickets are extremely hard to come by in our area. And no one in my family is interested in seeing it; I don't want to go alone.

That's excellent, sunnyday. My wife and I had planned to see the movie, but with some of what we have heard regarding how violent the movie is - my wife is wondering if she really wants to see it.

I'm sure this will pop up on Snopes soon.

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... death_dc_1

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A middle-aged woman died of an apparent heart attack on Wednesday while watching the climactic crucifixion scene in "The Passion of the Christ" at a morning showing in Wichita, Kansas, a television station reported.

The film was stopped and a nurse in attendance went to the unidentified woman's side, a spokeswoman for KAKE-TV in Wichita said.

"It was the highest emotional part of the movie," she said. A crew from the TV station was at the special showing, which was sponsored by a radio station.

The woman, who was in her 50s, was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital, where a spokesman would only say she had been attending a movie. The county coroner's office said an autopsy would be performed.

A co-worker of mine went last night and she said she thoroughly enjoyed it. She said after the first 5 minutes you are totally absorbed in to the movie. Highly recommended me to see it. I plan to, just don't know when.

I wanted to re post my post in another topic on here...I hope my review helps...

We just saw the movie...it was incredibly moving...you DO feel the movie, you flinch each time Christ is struck. It is accurate to the T, according to what I have been taught. The movie is hard to watch, beware. It's hard to watch and realize Jesus suffered all of this for us.

We took our 12 and 11 year olds....they were OK with it...one understood better than the other. I do not believe Mel Gibson went over the top...I think he did a fabulous job portraying the sufferage of Jesus, all for us. It's chilling....

Snowman...you look an awful lot like the high preist in the movie...wait until you do see it... You're a good guy, but I thought of you through the movie.
