passions and gyms and grease

Feeling : contemplative
Listening to : meshuggah - the mouth licking what you've bled

watched "the passion of the christ" today at bala uncs place... agreed it aint a cinema or anything but it was a pirated VCD, the copy wasnt all too bad.... there was quite a few of us there... it was awesome... i am (what i personally prefer calling myself) a passive christian... most of my beliefs are kinda zennist.. good and bad karma, energies, integrity of one with their surroundings... but jesus was a good leader... he had the charisma to pull of something as good as starting a new religion... the movie was made really well... kudos to mel gibson... very graphic but truly touching.... the flashbacks were placed at the exact times such that they were relevant and not bothersome to the flow of the story... but according to me the best idea in the whole movie was the image of satan... their idea of making satan a hairless female with a masculine voice is awesome... (as mama said - satan looks like marilyn manson! heh heh heh) the androgenous face (thanks to there being no facial hair) mixed with the very non human (almost gollum-esque) voice made their version of satan really spooky... the only thing i did not understand in the movie was the child (of gollum??? :D) satan was holding in one of the scenes when jesus falls down and looks at satans direction... what did the child signify?... was it the irony of maddona?... or was it perhaps symbolic of the mass over which satan had control at that time?... or was it to show that the people whom jesus was saving (shown by the child... the purest of humans) turning onto him (thus the ugliness of the child as it smiles mockingly at jesus)... awesome flick... you cant say that the movie breeds anti-semitic hatred cos all pics if this type has that message... and if some x-tians get hyped up by this pic then they're as bad as the islamic radicalists whom they blame for anything bad in this world... shall start goin to a gym from tomorrow... will be working in the workshop only till the afternoon... YIPPEEEEEE!!!... i wont be a greasy bastard no more!
