In Reply to: Great Film - why can't Hollywood do stuff like this well posted by Toshiromeyers on February 23, 2004 at 06:58:32:
I thought it was just OK... one of those forgettable good experiences.Why not Hollywood? They believe that spending $300M on a film that produces $400M in revenue is good deal.
Gibson's Passion apparently only cost about $20M and its projected earnings are extimated at up to $300M.
Hmmmmmm....
Follow Ups:
Coincidentally I saw it on a first date with a Japanese girl. She melted. It was a good pick!
Vic,I liked Shall We Dance. It was a very simple story, well acted, and a slice of life. No explosions, massacres, Elves, ewoks...
Hollywood is out of control.
I've seen 5 movies in the past two weeks in the theater (Miracle, 50 First Dates, Big Fish, City of God, and In America) and only the last one was really good.
Big Fish was okay but nothing special.
I managed to get a ticket for the first showing of "The Passion" here in Rockville and I am going to see it with an open mind. I think Mel's vision of Christ's last day should be viewed as "Mel's literal adaptation" and judged accordingly. The anti-semitism angle is for the weak minded who have no faith in either what they believe or what they stand for.
I understand that it is quite graphic, and turning people off as a reuslt.

Well, let us know how it goes - the Passion... I will probably miss your post - will be traveling, but I will catch up later.I think you are probably right about the anti-Semitic angle, but we will know more when the film is out.
Personally I find both the subject and the maker less than exciting, so I am in no rush.
