Yes, that is a good point Father.

I have read alot of articles about this movie and the common thread that seems to run through all the positive responses (mainly from protestants, American protestants), is that the film has an enourmous emotional impact and really seems to leave the people with a strong sense of thier guilt for Christs passion and death.

I wanted to ask the people here, who have good knowledge of Orthodox Theology, if this is the way we should feel about it. I wonder if we can consider ourselves as being guilty in the way the protestants and Catholics do. Surely we did not force God to do what he did. What is the Orthodox view on this type of thinking?

I dont think I will see this film, it starts during Lent over here and I am going to try to not see any films during lent, and perhaps we should not need to see this movie, we who have the fullness of truth in Orthodoxy.
