I've got some free tickets for the movie. It'll be released in Singapore on April. Let me know if you have friends who are interested. Just give me a buzz, SMS or drop me an email.
The whole anti-semitisim controversy happened during the summer of 2003 when a group of biblical scholars (so-called) associated with the U.S. Bishops Council obtained a stolen copy of an early draft of the script. They came forward to denounce it as scripturally incorrect and potentially injurious of Christian-Jewish relations.
Mel Gibson protested, and the bishops more or less fled the scene, but the damage was done.
On Dec. 01 2003 Billy Graham came to the defense on Christ, saying he was "moved to tears."
"The film is faithful to the Bible's teaching that we are all responsible for Jesus' death, because we all have sinned," the 85-year-old evangelist said. "It is our sins that caused his death, not any particular group."
Billy Graham also stated: "I doubt if there has been a more graphic and moving presentation of Jesus' death and resurrection, which Christians believe are the most important events in human history."
Well said.
Hollywood has long recognized the importance of Billy Graham and included him in the Walk of Fame. Time Magazine also named him as one of the top 100 Heroes of the Century.
Went shooting photos with my brand new Nikon D70. It's the first time that I'm using a DSLR so it's pretty different from my current Canon A70. I don't even know what are some of the buttons for on the body. The weather was slightly overcast, so the pictures didn't turn out that well. Thank goodness I don't have to develop them to find out. To the girls who used analog that day, too bad!
Sharbat Gula, Pakistan, 1984
Sharbat Gula, Pakistan, 2002
For almost two decades, Steve McCurry has received inquiries about the Afghan girl, Sharbat Gula, first pictured on the cover of National Geographic Magazine, and later in publications around the world.
When Steve and a team from National Geographic found her again, there was an unprecedented outpouring of generosity to the Afghan Girls Fund administered by the National Geographic Society and the Asia Foundation. Girls who had been deprived of an education are now in school and are learning to read and write and become self-sufficient.
How I wished I'm the one who took these photos... It must have been such a touching moment. I want to be able to bless someone with my photos one day too.
