though the passion may be biblical and all that jazz, the biblical story is not a historical one, there fore it doesnt have anything to do with what happened.
personally, i thought it sucked as a movie. ive seen better. it had no development of characters or a plot. even though there was drama and touching scenes and good computer graphics, it definitly lacked some good qualities as a movie...
some of the best movies i have ever seen is the The Last Emporer, awesome movie, i love it! Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, got to love the love, passion and its awesome! and Raise the Red Lantern, very suspenseful, even more than What Lies Beneath. I want to see Velvet Goldmine, all my friends say its good, but very duggie and sexish.
i also love some anime movies. lol. the list can go on and on and on.
