When I seen this movie for the first time I cried so hard.. I always knew that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and to save mankind but it was when I saw this movie that I truly realized how much pain and suffering Jesus endured.. you actually feel his suffering watching this. It really made an impact on me and I believe it did the same for everyone who saw this movie. When the movie was over and everyone was exiting the theater, no one was talking , not even whispering, all that you could hear was the sound of people crying.. I am 57 years old and I never had seen so many people crying at once and so silent after a movie ended. It made me feel closer to Jesus and appreciate all the blessings he has given me.
