    The Passion interests me. I'm hearing reports from around the world of people uneasy with the production of this movie. Not that it distorts the truth, but that it possibly is "too" truthful and adheres to the Bible. Jewish organizations are uneasy that Hebrews may be depicted as responsible for the death of Christ. And the Pope and the Vatican are in the news with this too, on cnn.com today.

    I went and saw the original Passion Play in Oberammagau, Germany in 2000. It only plays every 10 years and is presented in German. Even though I can't understand German, it was quite moving. I don't know how any story that tries to correctly depict biblical stories of such magnitude could not touch a person. (there was another American sitting next to me during the play who was quite fussy that it was in German and must have had attention deficit, which was really distracting, but that's another story)
