I have been reading extensively into information about The Passion and
I am deeply interested at this point. It looks to be a phenomenal
movie, and it is supposed to be totally literally accurate. Mel Gibson
has hired some excellent actors in my opinion. Monica Belluci and Jim
Caveziel are some big names in Hollywood. Even more incredible, I was
reading an interview
done earlier with Jim Caveziel in which he said, "but one of them
missed and [the bullwhip] hit me, flush, right on the back. It ripped
the skin right off my back, but I couldnā€™t scream because the pain
knocked the wind out of me". I think that gives a little hint at how
realistic this movie is. If you have seen the trailer, located here ,
you will have some idea of the caliber of this movie. It is way above
that of earlier Christian movies that I have I seen. I am sincerely
hoping that I am able to attend the screener tomorrow that is in
Edmonton. It is by invite only, but I have an ace up my sleeve and I
will play it tomorrow. Otherwise I will be seeing it on its premier,
February 25.
I think I am going to try and promote it on campus. I don't think that
anyone should miss it, so maybe I will put up some posters, etc. Mel
Gibson has put $25 million into this movie, and I would like to see him
get it all back for his leap of faith. I am seriously impressed with
Mel Gibson for producing it and Jim Caveziel for acting in it, knowing
it could be seriosuly detrimental to their careers. Otherwise, I have
been busy pounding away at crap this week. I need to do some serious
practice problems in organic and inorganic. Elsewhere, in the subjects
I am good at it, it is rewarding to see all of my French coming back in
a headrush. Economics is going quite well too. Tomorrow I have a squash
game with Nikhil, and we won the first game of Dodgeball tonight --
always more fun when you win. Well, lots to do tomorrow, I had best hit
the sack. Bien amicalement.
