Mary Wesson, a sophomore psychology major, said the movie exceeded all her expectations and is the best movie she has ever seen. “The ending was perfect,” Wesson said. “That is what hap pened. That is how Christ was treated and though most Christians are aware of that., it is nice to have a little reminder what he had to go through for us.” Many people leaving were dry ing tears as they passed the long lines waiting to take their seats. “I hadn’t expected to cry,” said Misty Gwin, a sophomore biology major. “It was incredibly emotional. The graphic nature of it pulls at your emotions.” Gwin said she didn’t notice the movie varying from the Bible, but that she wasn’t looking for differences. “I was really getting the whole message of it,” Gwin said. “I see it as an accurate portrayal, but 1 was trying to absorb the whole message rather than the details.” Gwin said seeing the movie put the story of Christ in a new light. “I was kind of amazed; I had never thought that much about the words,” Gwin said. “The sight is so much different than the words; it is there, you are experiencing it instead of just hearing it.” Hotard Continued from page 1A In response to strong stu dent remarks. Perry told stu dents of a dorm he stayed in during his college years that he compared to Hotard because if its spirit. The dorm was later torn down for devel opment purposes. The forum provided an opportunity for members of the on-campus community to stand together and to let the adminis tration know how they felt about certain decisions, said Chris Mahaffey, president of the Resident Hall Association. “If anything was accom plished (it was that) the admin istration does understand now a little bit more that they're not just reallocating a build ing,” Mahaffey said. “They're taking people’s homes away.” “I’m like, ’Oh, victon: There’s more to this » than just the violence.! about triumph.” In New Jersey, 90-yean Edna Oatman of Pleasannj dressed in her Sunday her first visit to a movie tfej since “E.T. The Eiti Terrestrial” in 1982. “If you read the Biblesiii you know that Jesus died foil whole world, not Christians,” said Oatman, saw the film Wednesday mm ing. “Maybe this will getpeojl going to church.” “If you intellectualize | movie, the message is one love. But emotionally, if anyu is on the border of hatingta this will push you over,"si Rabbi Bernhard H. Rosenbe; chief rabbi of CongregationBt: El in Edison, N.J. Healsoteat! es Holocaust studies at Ruije University “With all the publicity,Mi Gibson is laughing all the the bank,” Rosenberg saidaii seeing the film. “Theaters;• going to he packed, ai pockets will be lined.” Following months of curiosity about the movie almost insatiable. Advance tici: sales hit $10 million, distrite Newmarket Films reported fc week — evidence of the skili marketing campaign and wori of-mouth buzz as the screened for private, often ct servative Christian audiences.
