265369, not good storytelling? how many ppl walked out of that film crying?
Posted by Galatasaray, Tue Mar-20-07 11:21 AM
exactly
mel was able to emotionally touch people thru his interpretation of the story
people didn't go see that shit 5-10 times because of the lighting in that movie
people didn't cry for hours after seeing that movie because of the way the shadows reflected off the actors faces
people didn't talk about that movie at the water cooler for the following 6 months because of the costume selection
FOH
that shit MOVED PEOPLE, bottom line

imo the fact that the movie was able to touch so many ppl even tho 90% of america knows the story like the back of their hand shows Mels genius
but realizing the majority of OKP hates religion(and mel gibson now) i don't exactly expect objective discussion on the matter
i mean look at the snarky comments made above that brought nothing to the table
