  Probably “Passion of the Christ”. It was really hard to watch, didn’t make it to the end.

    I still remember part of a review I saw when this was new. It said:

    Jesus suffered for our sins. Now its your turn.

      That’s actually a pretty metal tagline.

      I dunno man I made out with a chick when I was a kid watching it. They were giving tickets out for free and we were horny and didn’t give af. My blue balls probably suffered though.

    Hard to watch? Other than the obvious brutality of the crucifixion, I remember that movie as being a middle of the road flick. The Aramaic dialogue was pretty cool though.

    The church I was forced to go to as a child did a whole youth group and parents trip to the movies to see it. Thought it was pretty interesting the stuff I wasn’t allowed to watch, but that torture porn feature was a-OK for the kiddies.

    Ah, haven’t seen it. I was teenager when it came out, my fundamentalist parents were praising it but didn’t allow me to watch it because of the 18+ rating in Finland. Never bothered to watch it later in life

      I vaguely remember a scene where Jesus invented the dining table but I could just have imagined it.

        The whip biting into the skin on his ribs, then ripping out chunks. That was pretty intense for kids to watch.

    I was Catholic at the time of its release. My church was literally giving away tickets so people could see it. I swear the Catholic Church is 1 giant circlejerk of virtue signaling trying to see who can suffer the most.

    My parents forced me to watch it I think right before I entered my teens, in theatre.

    They had not even noticed that after the flogging scene, I started crying and having a panic attack and walked out of the theatre, just sat outside the theatre, sobbing after being completely fucking traumatized.

    Again, they didn’t even realize I was gone until the movie was over.

    Can you guess that I don’t talk to my parents any more, they probably think I am dead, and I hope they do actually believe I am dead?
