>>>>>FIRST THOUGHTS 

“The biggest problem I have with ‘The Passion,’ however, isn’t the violence.  It is with the protagonist. The guy on the screen is nothing like that insipid, tunic-wearing, lamb-carrying, two-dimensional, felt-faced Jesus from Sunday school.  That Jesus was easy.  He could be molded and crafted like Play-Doh into anything I—or anyone else—wanted from him.” (David Kuo, Los Angeles Times, March 8, 2004)
