    It comes and goes as in most humans saddled with ego and emotions. You have a fine day also. Keep your chin up mate.

  Two words: The Titanic. We all know it sank, and yet...

  Yours would be a justification for never reading a book twice, or seeing a movie again.

  The fact is, such things are often enough *more* informative, and more enjoyable, the second or even third or fourth time through. Why not this?

  And if you prefer to visualize things for yourself, well and good... but have you seen any of the LotR films? Or *any* movie made from a book? Hmm...?

    In most cases, I agree with you Clark, but not in the case of this particular film. It is more than a mere movie.

          Haven't decided yet. I'm not a fan of cinematic (or religious) gore.

          That's why I decided to boycott Saving Private Ryan.

          But when it came down to the very last day the movie was in the local thratres, I succumbed.

          So who knows?

  I didn't feel pity. I felt moved by his message and by his grace and courage and by the women in his life and by the power of his presence for the people that could see it.

  I almost didn't go because of the violence. I almost never see violent movies anymore and I was fully prepared to leave if I couldn't stomach it.

  As a non Christian who has strong feelings about Jesus and his message of love the movie was powerful for me. It wasn't earth shattering and I probably won't see it again but I'm glad I saw it.

  And I certainly didn't cry or mope...my eyes welled up and I felt emotional but only during the scenes where he was espousing his teachings of love (and when, even in his battered state he was praying for and uplifting others).

  I don't know why you're expressing such negativity about the movie and towards those who felt/feel compelled to see it but maybe you should see it so your opinion can be better informed.
