Did anybody see his interview with Diane Sawyer yesterday? How do you think he did? Are you going to go see his movie?

Perhaps you can pose some questions to debate the interview/movie about. Thanks.

Okay.

Do you think The Passion is anti-Semitic or will incite violence against the Jews? Should the movie be banned based on these grounds or any other?

Even though I haven't seen it, I don't expect the film to be anti-semitic. And I don't expect it to incite violence against the Jews.

I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie. However, cheapo that I am, I'll be waiting for it to come out on DVD. Plus, it's so hard to bring toddlers to see any movies.

I've seen the movie (otseng you should go see it) and I do think some people that for some excuse or another could develop some anti-semetic thoughts. The movie and its maker however have no intention of being anti-semetic as Mel stated himself in the interview.

Actually, I did end up seeing the movie. A friend in church watched our kids while we caught a matinee showing.

I wrote a little write-up on it in my blog.
