Passion

I know it's a couple years late, but I want to talk a little about the Passion of the Christ. I'm sure it's passion-packed as all as crucifixions tend to be, but it is not, as my coworker insists, the same as a documentary.

I told Davina that I did not see the movie because for me, it lacked entertainment value. Somewhat upset, she said that documentaries are not often meant to entertain. I gently responded that the Passion is not technically a documentary. While she is aware that Mel Gibson made the film, she argued that while it is not exactly a documentary, it is still "documented fact," thus essentially a documentary. I don't really know what to say to this.
