The Petra Zone

So, who is going to get "The Passion of the Christ" on either DVD or Video? I most certainly am.

My answer is "Yes". Many ask me why and I tell them that, when I get to complacent in my faith, I can pop this in and get jerked back to reality pretty quick!!

Hi friends of the Petra zone, i plan on getting as many copies as i can afford, since it is the B est movie in two thousand years

'Will buy' here!

Cathy wants to buy it, and I'd probably pick it up if I had some money lying around, but to be honest I'm a little lukewarm on having it around the house. We can't watch it with a 4-year-old around, for sure. And how often am I going to want to watch the violence-slash-Catholic-overtones stuff? We have other DVDs that actually have a much greater impact on me because they emphasize the spiritual side of what was going on rather than capitalizing on the violence. Not to say that I didn't think the movie was great... I actually wanted to see it again in the theater, but Cat wouldn't go (hehe, I'm telling on her now that she's here! ). I would recommend anyone who only has thirty bucks grab a copy of the !Hero, The Rock Opera DVD from HeroStoreOnline.com (fill out this survey first to get a discount)... it has some great music and will really get you thinking about Who Jesus Was (100% God+100% man) and what He did, both in His life and on the Cross. Then if you've got thirty more bucks, get The Passion to watch once in a while too.

But that's just me. Maybe others get more out of The Passion than they would out of !Hero.

I am going to buy it as well. Just after lunch.

I just got home with my copy on DVD. I saw it twice in the theater, and want to have it here for those times I begin to backslide and need a jolt of reminder of what Christ went through because of MY sins...

I just bought the dvd at walmart for $14 something so everyone who liked it should be able to get it.

I just got my copy a little while ago.

I got mine at K Mart for $15.00. They said they had sold over half of what they got in.

The also carded me . I told the girl thank you very much. She looked like I was stupid . Then she saw 1964 on my DL and did some quick adding and kinda laughed and said your welcome. I am having a hard time walking today so that was needed to let me know I am not as old as I fell.

My nephew picked it up tonight (which was real surprising to both his mom and me...pleasant surprise. The prayers are working for him!!!) and him, his mom (my sis...duh!!), and I watched it. This was my third viewal and my nephew and sisters first. Power stuff....even the third time around!!

I always get choked up when Christ is carrying the cross down the Viadelarosa (sp??), all battered, bloody, and bruised, and he colapses, Mary comes running up after the flashback of his childhood and Jesus has "See Mary, I make all things new!". Forgive me if I misquoted.

Oh, and by the way, on my way home from my sister's after watching the movie, I stopped at W-Mart as well and picked up the DVD and the soundtrack for it. I paid 15 dollars for the DVD as well.

I'd be interested to know how the viewing experience differs when you're watching it in your living room on a 21-inch TV with family vs. watching it in a dark theater on a huge screen with hundreds of other people. Do you guys find it packs the same "punch" and seem as real as it did in the theater, or does it seem different, more "staged" or what? I'm not suggesting that I think it's not well done, but since we don't have the DVD yet and even when/if we do get it I'm not sure how we'll watch it with Mikey around, I thought it would be interesting to ask.

I bought two copies one for my family and one for my momma !!!

I will not be buying the DVD. I will not have that unaccurate-unbliblical video in my home. I have all i need to have in the Bible I read.

Okay, at the risk of starting something (ouch), why are you so certain it's inaccurate and unbiblical Rich? Did you bother to go see it?

I may regret this.
