5 jump chump movie#
The buckets of stage blood in a Quentin Tarantino movie do not have that effect on me, as the theatrical artifice of all that violence is obvious. Yet my physical gut response to the flogging scene in the movie was a wave of nausea brought on by shock as I realize that what I'm watching carefully reproduces something THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Of course I understand that the Sacrament is what it is and does what it does regardless of my emotional response. I think it is fascinating how church decor, liturgical chant, lots of choir practice and a recent movie worked together seemlessly to provoke a strong emotional response in me to what Christ suffered for me in the events of His passion, and it did so right at the point of my reception of His true body and blood. 129:3-4 on my mind, I had something of a flashback to the horrific scene in Gibson's film where the flagrum was used on Christ. As I was waiting to receive communion last week, my eyes came to rest on the flagrum. There is a small carved representation of a flagrum in the beautiful reredo behind our altar. This passage from Psalms evokes the most difficult-to-watch scene in that movie, in my opinion, the flogging of Our Lord.Īs a layman, I'm blessed to be a part of our "chancel choir" which has been practicing the propers for Judica for a week or two, giving me more opportunity to meditate on the propers than I would typically have in a single pass. 129:3-4.Ī few years ago I saw The Passion of the Christ movie for the first time and was deeply shocked, impressed, sickened, moved and educated by this work of devotional art, as I'm sure many of you were as well. I look forward to hearing from you.I would be interested to hear if and how you preachers might incorporate the Tract for Judica into your preaching, especially Ps.
