Seeing the movie made a good impression on me. Granted, the story of Christ's passion is so central to our family's faith, that I feel the brutal yet glorious truth of it is important to pass on to all, young and old. The movie is not advocating violence or evil, nor is it unnecessarily highlighting it, so I feel it is suitable for (most) children. Someday, they may have to face it, and if we have helped them sort through it with us by their side in a safe situation (for instance, a movie), then if they are forced to deal with it because of a tragedy, they are better able to cope. So in teaching history, I freely discuss war, death, pain, etc. Many children in many parts of the world have to face violence and death on a regular basis. And yet, I feel that the harsh reality of pain and death should not be hidden from children completely. I guess as a parent, I feel that only the sensitivity of the children should be taken into consideration. It should show us the depth of pain and agony Christ went to because of our sin. We are very familiar with the story of Christ's crucifixion and IMO, it is supposed to disturb us. I guess I am very different here, but I let my 5 year old watch it, and she had no problems whatsoever.
