The Passion of the Christ
Yesterday afternoon, my sisters and I went to the mall to watch The Passion of the Christ. My parents watched it the night before, and my mom said that she couldn’t watch some of the scenes because it was so horrid. She even said that we’d be wasting our money because we won’t be seeing some of the scenes because we would be closing our eyes. Heck! I still dragged my sisters to come see the film. We arrived at the mall around 12:30pm, and we ate lunch first. The first show was at 1:20pm so we hurriedly ate our burgers and fries in Wendy’s. Alas, we were in the premiere seats. Waiting. Waiting for 10 more minutes. Then after some trailers, the film began. It started with a passage from the Bible. I don’t understand why, at that moment my eyes became moist. The movie started at The Agony in the Garden. I tell you, this movie seriously made me feel something different from the start to finish. As the movie started to progress, I just felt my eyes produce gushes of salty tears. It’s not the tears that you have while watching a drama flick, mine is something different. It’s like the tears were coming from within me. It was so painful to feel. I can’t breathe normally. I found myself gasping for air as tears trickle down my face. The film made me rethink everything that I know about the Man called Jesus. What my old teachers taught me was way beyond what I saw. I thought it was just the same old story. Jesus was accused, persecuted, died, then rose up from the dead. This film gave a little more. Way more, actually. As a Catholic Christian, I’d say, Jesus really did the most amazing thing any person could never do. Die for our sins. Sins that He would never have done. The Passion of the Christ, is not just a film that you watch and the forget, it’s a film that I will remember for the rest of my life. After the last scene, no one got up. Everyone was so quiet. [except for that one celfone that beeped!] I can hear the sobs of my sisters, the person next to me, and mine. So.. yeah.. this would be my last entry for this Holy Week.
