Hey all! Well looky here...spring break is near, so near in fact that I can literally hear it creeping up on me! I love that! Being able to count down to something exciting so when you are down in the dumps you can just say "Ok, just 3 days till spring break" or something to that effect. Believe me, I've been saying that for a while, tests and homework and studying have really been consuming a lot of my time lately. I am really looking forward to next week; a week of bliss, relaxation, fun-in-the-sun, and no thinking about deadlines or tests! But, this week of course has been putt-putting at the rate of an old clunker bought from a shady used car salesman. And, to no surprise of course, next week will fly by so fast I'll have blinked once and it'll already be Friday!
Anyhoo, besides classes, I got the chance to watch The Passion of The Christ! OMG I mean this movie was simply amazing. There are not enough words to describe how great this movie was (and I'm a film major!) Mel Gibson did a wonderful job of depicting this ever-controversial story of Jesus Christ and does so in such a beautiful manner that it moved me to tears...running down my cheeks...like a baby. That's right folks, this is indeed one of the most emotional films I've ever seen, and I'm not talking one of those how-sweet-they-love-eachother-after-all kinda emotions. Oh yeah, it's also one of the most violent movies I've ever (and probably you too) seen; it is very bloody and graphic, but nothing that I think wasn't necessary, Mel wanted people to see how much pain JC had to go through for our sins...oh yeah I just said OUR sins, not JEWISH people's sins, EVERY person's sins. Obviously, this controversy about anti-semitism has ticked me off.
I know that people might get mad or whatever but everyone is entitled to their opinions, I've listened to others' opinions and they've graciously listened to mine as well; I think that people who call this movie anti-semitic and CLAIM that it will bring hatred towards Jews just wants something to complain about...I mean c'mon, you don't see blacks complaining about every movie depicting them as slaves, or mexicans complaining every time they are depicted as immigrant alcoholics, etc. etc. etc! They are clearly not seeing the movie for what it is, but now that I'm done expressing my opinion, I am a very open person and if you disagree I would love to hear from you, I like to hear different opinions from different points of view!
Anyhoo, I'll stop here because I have an astronomy exam tomorrow so I better start studying or whatever. Until next time!
