>For the New York Times Style Magazine, Man Booker Prize-winning author Marlon James sat down with actor Brad Pitt and published his musings entitled “Five or Six Things I Didn’t Know About Brad Pitt.” In the interview, Pitt mentions that he’d like to make a film about Pontius Pilate and says that the film “won’t be for the ‘Passion’ crowd.” When James mentions that “The Passion of the Christ” drove him out of the church, Pitt laughs and responds, “I felt like I was just watching an L. Ron Hubbard propaganda film.”

But Jesus was black

was the passion good?
jews just hate it because it shows jesus getting killed?
Julian Richardson
Caviezel is a better actor than Brad Pitt.
Wyatt Kelly
Jesus was asian
Parker Reyes
But didn't the guy who 12 years a slave was based on claim that the story written about him was grossly exaggerated? And didn't the filmmakers acknowledge that they were grossly exaggerating THAT story for their movie?
>the original story was some southerner asked if he was a slave >he was offended and said no >the end
Grayson Cook
as a movie, yeah it was fucking great but most people hate on it because there is "jesus" in it
Chase Diaz
>Painstakingly-researched story presented in original languages vs. Distorted liberal propaganda where Pitt casts himself as the one tolerant white man.
It's good. Don't listen to the faggots that try to say it's religious propaganda or torture porn. It's an all around good movie.
My only complaint is that Jesus could have been more personable and likable. There's always a "high and mighty" vibe he gives off even before he knows he's the son of God.
Brandon Watson
No, it's pretty cheesy in parts If you like the production design and historical accuracy gore it's alright but some parts are laughable I didn't view it as propaganda but I can see why people think it is

Mel would stomp a mud hole in Brad Pitt's ass and he's got a good years on him.
At least Mel has never given in to Jewish Hollywood.
Zachary Cox

Jonathan Taylor
>vibe he gives off even before he knows he's the son of God.
He knew since he was since childhood. It wasn't "high and mighty", it was bearing the burden of responsibility while having the fulfill a role as teacher.
It's too somber to be cheesy. it's a Renaissance painting come to life.
Lincoln Parker
pitt feeling the need to shit on Mel shows great insecurity.....even years ago when mel's mug shots got around, he went around making fun of him out of no where
Samuel Howard
>>Painstakingly-researched
> A principal source is The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ[21] the visions of the stigmatic German nun Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774–1824), as written by the poet Clemens Brentano.[6][7][8] A careful reading of Emmerich's book shows the film's high level of dependence on it.[6][7][22]
>However, Clemens Brentano's attribution of the book The Dolorous Passion to Emmerich has been subject to dispute, with allegations that Brentano wrote much of the book himself; a Vatican investigation concluding that: "It is absolutely not certain that she ever wrote this".[23][24][25] In his review of the movie in the Catholic publication America, Jesuit priest John O' Malley used the terms "devout fiction" and "well-intentioned fraud" to refer to the writings of Clemens Brentano.[5][23]
I've never looked at it like that. I'll have to watch it again.
Blake Garcia
Pitt
Even Jolie is more of a man than him.
Leo Flores
I never knew Pitt was such a cuck, glad Mel took the higher road.
Real niggas don't flex nuts, because real niggas know they got them
Dominic Davis
>It's too somber to be cheesy. I don't think you understand what cheesy means
Henry Hill
>From a comparative philological and literary view, the contention that Brentano "fabricated almost all" the Emmerich material is exaggerated and false. Editorial work there certainly was, but Brentano's accounts agree with the basic picture of Emmerich found in the firsthand written accounts of Dr. Franz Wilhelm Wesener (Emmerich's medical doctor) and author Luisa Hensel. Moreover, as the internationally renowned and critically reserved Germanist Dr. Anton Brieger states, the Emmerich visions recorded by Brentano have all the marks of a woman's psychology and a feminine attention to detail. Additionally, Fr. Joseph Adam, the author of Emmerich's new official positio accepted by the Roman authorities, has demonstrated that the former charges made by Fr. Winfried Humpfner (whose activities led to the 1928 reponatur), namely that Brentano was guilty of wholesale fabrication, were "rabid attacks" against a pious Catholic, and were furthermore "hard and pre-emptory." Although recognizing at times their problematic nature and that they were adapted and edited, Adam nevertheless characterizes the Brentano Emmerich writings as exhibiting simultaneously "a deep piety and a solid ecclesiastical spirit."
More like Mel is nutless lol Remember that time after the whole Jew thing when he met with rabbis and even had his film (which was directed by a Jew) open in Israel?
Michael Bennett
this
Tom Cruise got sprayed in the face with water while doing an interview. Does it make him a cuck for not beating the guy within an inch of his life? No, he took the high road and so did Mel. Good on you, Mel.

Camden Ward
I understand what it means, and the Passion shows too much restraint to be considered cheesy. It's a meditation of sacrifice and suffering.
Ryder Diaz
How is saying you didn't like a movie shitting on someone?
Jordan James
Again, I think you're confusing cheesy with camp. Lifetime movies are cheesy despite being played out completely straight. The random slow motion shots in the Passion and that whole tear/raindrop sequence were cheesy as hell.
Joshua Jones
Nah the original story actually took place in 1962
>Author asks some black dude "what if you were slave or something?" >Black guy says "that'd be crazy or whatever" >Maybe we make a movie about it and say you slave now
How do people not fact check before writing these "true stories"???
Samuel Jackson
>any views I don't agree with are propaganda
Carson Williams
They're just as bad as each other.
Carter Sanchez
Neither were out of place and both were thematically appropriate. What are you talking about?
> Lifetime movies are cheesy despite being played out completely straight.
That's not what I was talking about when I said "restraint".
Angel Wright
Sup Forumsbeards really do believe the definition of the word "propaganda" includes the string "anything I don't like," don't they? How can one group of people be so fucking stupid?
Camden Harris
This is pathetic. Pitt is such a little pussy bitch, loves to pretend he's a tough guy from far away. Mel would shit on him.
Benjamin Campbell
I feel like this is true.
Mel and Pitt can both play movie tough guys convincingly, but the only difference is that Mel is a tough guy irl as well.
Cameron Ortiz
>Neither were out of place and both were thematically appropriate. The slow motion shots were randomly applied in post (and this is evident in the frame rate), it was a very cheap way of attaching importance to a shot like "see how important this scene is!" I'm not against the tear/raindrop shot, just how kitsch and cloying it felt, especially with the bad CGI. These aren't examples of visual or cinematic "restraint" by any measure. They are cheap and lacking good taste, namely cheesy.

If recent stories are true, he's still fucking like a man man. Meet up with him some day.

The next three pit movies coming out are Allied, a WWII romance War Machine, satire of war in Afghanistan World War Z 2
How is Pitt still relevant?
His movies are stuck in the mid-2000's
Asher Garcia
*mad man
I'm special.
Ethan Thompson
>"see how important this scene is!"
Because traditionally certain points of Christ's suffering have been emphasized. There's a very good reason those parts were slowed down.
The tear drop is left ambiguous enough to avoid sentimentalizing it too much.
>Kitch and cloying
These are words used by modernist art faggots to dismiss anything that evokes emotion.
Jason Butler
What's pathetic is how passionately you alt right wastes of oxygen defend Mel Gibson just because he got drunk and said some middle school insults about blacks and Jews. The whole thing has strong homosexual undertones, which, on top of the fact that you're constantly describing penises as "BBC," perpetually have cuckolding fetishes on your minds and post about them everywhere and have photos of male celebrities saved on your computers so you can discuss how muscular they are for their age, all leads one to rather obvious conclusions about certain closets that you're clearly inside of.
Let us also not forget that you're obviously the same people who throw year-long temper tantrums whenever a minority is cast in your latest super hero movie, calling it a conspiracy, but somehow there's nothing but crickets when Jesus is cast as a white guy, which, if he existed at all, would certainly not have been the case. Logical inconsistency is a very clear sign of brainwashing.
Let us also not forget that you just spent the last several years of your pathetic lives whining that Mel Gibson is blacklisted and boo hoo it's a Joo conspiracy that ranting drunks don't get hired, and yet here he is making movies distributed by Hollywood production companies.
Robert Edwards

I'm going to go ahead and disregard everything you said after >What's pathetic is how passionately you alt right wastes of oxygen defend Mel Gibson just because he got drunk and said some middle school insults about blacks and Jews.
Is this what literal cuckholds actually believe? Nah, fuck the fact that Mel is an objectively amazing actor, writer, and director. People only like him because they're racist conservatives, right? It doesn't take someone with a triple digit IQ to realize that Mel is good at what he does and that's why people like him and defend him.
Mason Sanders
>being this triggered that you write a blog post
Brandon Lewis
>If whitey hadn't come along you'd still be speaking oogly boogly Did Mel go too far?
Ethan Scott
Brad pitt is a cuckhold and an fag
Caleb Thompson
His talent is vastly overstated by all of his closeted homosexual alt right fans because he's "based" for making a few racist remarks. Apocalypto is the only decent thing he's ever been involved in. You're a fucking idiot.
Nobody agrees with you. Stop using meme buzzwords to pretend like you know what you're talking about.
James Garcia
>those forsekin biting teeth
Anthony Cruz
>Because traditionally certain points of Christ's suffering have been emphasized. It's not just the suffering parts that were in slow-motion though. For example I remember when Judas catches the silver, that whole sequence was in that same cheap post-production slow-mo, trying artificially to give the scene some depth when a narrative or other more subtle editing technique would have had a far greater impact. And if you think a badly done editing room effect is need to emphasize anything in a movie, then that just speaks volumes of the kind of audience who'd want those parts spoonfed.
>These are words used by modernist art faggots to dismiss anything that evokes emotion. Do you unironically enjoy soap operas too?
Jeremiah Ross
Considering I'm surrounded by Sup Forums posters who are literally dumber than what you find living in cages at the zoo, I'd be concerned if anyone here agreed with me. Passion of the Christ is a 0/10 movie, genuinely the worst piece of shit I've ever endured. No decent director could make something that abysmal.
Ian Powell
>le Sup Forums boogeyman xDD
Go back to your hugbox. Whether or not people from Sup Forums are here is irrelevant. You just get triggered whenever someone brings up Mel Gibson because you have differing opinions.
Grayson Thomas
Passion was good, really. A breath of fresh air compared to those 70's, tame Jesus movies they air every Easter. And it was a masterpiece compared to Braveheart.
Zachary White
So you agree that Mel was inside the belly of the beast, was churned out and started not to only name the jew but also blame the jew how based is Mel exactly?
Eli Reed
>shitty, campy, terribly acted torture porn filled with hamfisted attempts at emotional manipulation >breath of fresh air
Friendly reminder that Jesus probably didn't exist, and if he did exist he definitely had brown skin.
Justin Lewis
Criticizing both Scientology and Christian crazies in one move? In Hollywood?
Bold fucking move. Good thing he's attractive or he'd probably be in trouble.
Justin Robinson
>torture porn Why is this legitimate criticism? If the torture of Jesus happened, that's probably how it would look.
Jason Baker
Switching to a cat o' nine tails after the normal whip?
Come on. That was pretty silly.
Samuel Garcia
Jesus was real, you fucking left wing parasite. It's whether or not he was actually the son of God that is differs from person to person.
Ethan Taylor
He definitely wasn't the son of the god as there's no such thing as magic. He probably didn't exist either, since there's somewhere between no evidence and barely any evidence that he existed in any form.
Sebastian Fisher
Im so glad that atheism has began to overide the darkness and ignorance of religion. Obviously we enlightened few hover above the feeble masses who deign to believe in a goatherder religion. We must purge the worlf of this dangerous nonsense so humanity can take a great leap forward. Once the people are redeemed of their foolishness, they will obviously thank us and put us at the head of power and influence. Together we lucky few shall create a world free from hatred and the ramblings of a cult who see themselves as diffrent from us; for we are all one and nobody can rise or fall the median. People shall be united and non one shall ever ask such silly questions. There shall be peace because of atheism no one shall judge or see themselves as more righteous than others. Our day shall come.
Josiah Morales
Well, I'm glad you're 100% positive in that assertion. No evidence that Jesus ever existed? Okay, let's completely forget about the first hand accounts of him before the old testament was even written. Let's forget everything just as long as it fits your narrative. Do you also believe that Gautama Buddha wasn't real? Do you also believe that Muhammad didn't exist?
Hate to break it to you, genius, but the existence of all three of those figures isn't debatable.
Bentley Myers
>There shall be peace because of atheism no one shall judge or see themselves as more righteous than others >you say as you act more righteous than religious people
Caleb Butler
You may judge that which is baseless and religion is baseless and derves to be derided. Obviously you are just another braindead christfag who cannot even comprehend anything above his own belief. Go back to /his/ or /christian/
Carson Allen
You realize that you are just as wrong as chirstfags, right?
>Oh no, it's okay to shout, spit on, and attack atheists because they're baseless heathens >You may judge that which is baseless and religion is baseless and derves to be derided
Tip your fedora elsewhere.

Leave it to atheists to derail a Mel Gibson thread to try and act like they're superior. You might as well be vegans too.
John Scott
Atheists are right and religious people are wrong though, which is where your moronic comparison falls apart.
Oliver Martin
This thread is alt right shilling starting in the OP, you brain dead moron.
Nathan Jackson
Why should i bother with such people as you who have never had a single orginal thought in your life. Your religion thinks for you.
I think for myself and therefore could never be decieved. I feel pity for you both.
Joshua Ortiz
Religious people often say "Religion is right, and atheism is wrong." You are the same problem just from the opposite side.
John Reyes
>I think for myself
Sorry, son, Richard Dawkins or whoever you follow thinks for you.
Jose Long
Literally the first half of this thread was discussing who was in the wrong, Brad Pitt or Mel Gibson, then faggots like you came and started shit posting "LOL CHRIST IS DUM MEL IS RASSIS XDD"

Posts like this remind me that I'm arguing with really the dumbest people alive. Thanks for the reality check, religious schizo.
