The way of the cross is sad to me.I did'nt like the suffering that jesus took. It does look real of the deman-baby.I'm so happy that jesus still lives. N.S. age 8.

I think Mr. Gibson's film is more than a classical, it is a "True Story" told in such a way that's timeless and wonderful, while unbearably sad.... we know we caused all this suffering, all this pathos, and yet.... we go on and on doing the things that caused it in the first place...... while at the same time, we cannot stand to see such pain. That's humanity for you. Let's hope this Holy Week makes us as a race reconsider. Happy Easter to all. PS How can anyone say that Mary was not what She is...La Mater.... If you have kids, you know you'd rather take anything upon yourself than see them suffer. Can you imagine what She had to go through?????
