Q: What are some movie mistakes that only made them better?

Wairia - In the film Passion of the Christ, James Caviezel, the lead actor who portrayed Jesus Christ, recently revealed a painful behind-the-scenes mistake that ended up in the final cut of the movie.

In an exclusive interview with Fox, James Caviezel told Fox News contributor and host Raymond about a serious injury he sustained while filming the scene of Jesus' walk through the streets of Jerusalem's Old City, the path that Jesus took to his crucifixion. In the scene, Caviezel was carrying a heavy wooden cross, as Jesus would have, but he fell, and the cross came down hard on top of him.

"As I went down, the cross... it actually struck my head and buried my head in the sand. And I bit through my tongue," he said, "Now, in the tape, you'll see streams of blood coming down from my lip. That's actually my own blood.”

Despite the blistering pain on his shoulder, he worked through the pain and delivered his lines to actress Maia Morgenstern, who played the Virgin Mary.

"At this time, the shoulder is out and I was trying everything I had to get my arm over [the cross]," he continued, "And it looks like it's the most extraordinary take because it looks like I'm cherishing our cross, which is our faith, and hugging it but in the most beautiful way.

"It wasn't beautiful to me," he acknowledged with a laugh, "because it hurt like hell... my AC joint had been torn."

Seems like playing Jesus comes at a cost of personal suffering.

Muhammad Rasheed - Fortunately the actor had millions of dollars at his disposal to throw at a simple medical procedure, so it’s all good. Praise God.

Michael Fairgate - My friend who is now a priest, played a Jesus stunt double in our Passion Play. He was actually whipped on his back and legs by two Roman guards who couldn’t hear him yelling to stop because of the loud music. He felt like the real Jesus.

Muhammad Rasheed - Is your friend black and the two ‘Roman’ actors white? If so, then I call bs on them not being able to hear him. lol

David Nelson - Why do you have to bring race into everything?

Muhammad Rasheed - It was already built into everything. That’s literally the system that your identity group setup.

Mark Fisher - This graphic is a bunch of headlines without any substance or references 🤔 🙄 (much like most news media today). However, as a kid I remember 2 issues that really effected black/African American people. One was the attempt at bussing kids to other schools in the area to try to make education more ‘fair ‘ , and the other was how renters illegally discriminated against minorities (mainly African American) in the rental market and realtors/banks/neighbors in the home market. No one wanted ‘them’ in their neighborhood. Reality is strewn with problems to solve without stoking the fire on made up crap. Help, follow, lead, or get out of the way.

Muhammad Rasheed - Mark wrote: “This graphic is a bunch of headlines without any substance or references 🤔 🙄”

It’s actually a graphic collage I made myself from screenshots of the article titles.

Mark wrote: “the attempt at bussing kids to other schools in the area to try to make education more ‘fair‘”

After the Brown v. Board of Education case, the 1954 Supreme Court determined that “separate but equal” was a nonsensical concept based on the history of U.S. race relations, and ruled that the only way the long abused American descendants of slavery could have equal quality education as whites, was to attend the same schools alongside whites. Whites responded by refusing to comply to social progress, and decided they liked being unfair and demonic to the former slave class. For those who ever wondered at the origin of the anti-Black “low IQ” slur, it’s because whites are well aware that they refused compliance with the landmark 1954 SCOTUS decision and deliberately withhold quality education from the Black American (ADOS) community and mock us for it. #EvilInTheLand

That info is included within my collage graphic that you dismissed.

Mark wrote: “Reality is strewn with problems to solve without stoking the fire on made up crap”

There is no “made up crap” in my collage. You’re just evil and only care about your own group at the expense of mine as you have for the last 400+ years. Shame on you.

Mark Fisher - Judge not lest you be judged by the same standard. I never said which side of the argument was right. Your judgements about me and my group are purely based on ignorance. So go away 🧌 troll.

Muhammad Rasheed - Mark wrote: “Judge not lest you be judged by the same standard.”

Matthew 7:1-5 advises against condemning others, particularly when one's own flaws are greater. I will gladly pit my flaws against yours as a representative of the diabolical fiend of legend ANY DAY. lol

Mark wrote: “I never said which side of the argument was right.”

Truth, facts, logic & reason determine which side of an argument is objectively right. Who asked you anything? Obviously, you're the proud enemy of truth.

Mark wrote: “Your judgements about me and my group are…”

…are supported by the facts of history which you blindly dismissed like a coward in your very first sentence in this thread.

Mark wrote: “So go away 🧌 troll.”

Said the guy trolling under MY comment after being triggered by uncomfortable truths. lol Thanks for playing, bud.

Frank Besser - @Muhammad... Yikes. Hope you stretched before that reach…

Muhammad Rasheed - Frank wrote: “Hope you stretched before that reach”

Even if I wasn’t kidding, what happened in the last 400 yrs that would objectively make something think that quip was “reaching?” I don’t get it.

What is it that you want me to believe about how white people behave towards Black people that is markedly different from what the facts of history show up into the modern day?

Frank Besser - Because slavery is no longer legal in USA?

The fact you don’t believe what was written and needed to bring race into this otherwise harmless story so you can wrap your mind around it is laughable and absurd. Hence the joke..

Muhammad Rasheed - Frank wrote: “Because slavery is no longer legal in USA?”

It’s still legal, they just call it something else in the modern day. The slave holder class weren’t going to let their gravy train go that easily.

Frank wrote: “The fact you don’t believe what was written”

Was I required to? lol I don’t believe the prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) was tortured & crucified anyway.

Frank wrote: “and needed to bring race into this otherwise harmless story so you can wrap your mind around it is laughable and absurd. Hence the joke..”

All I did was make my own joke upon that joke and every white person in the universe got red-faced triggered instead of either laughing it off, groaning and rolling your eyes, or just ignoring it.

It doesn’t take a PhD social-scientist to understand why you lot have an absolute screaming fit tantrum whenever the subject comes up even in a light jokey way like this one.

John M - @Muhammad... Imagine making an entire race of people your enemy on the basis of their skin color. Ill pray for you, my friend.

Muhammad Rasheed - @John M... Imagine thinking U.S. race relations was only about “skin color.” #gaslight

Obviously, it was always about money and political power. It was only about ‘skin color’ before the rise of European Imperialism.

John M - Im blacker than you and live in America, stop the virtue signaling victim card bullshit. Im a first generation immigrant, and i am well off as a doctor, things I couldnt dream of in my home country. No man can tell me that America isnt the greatest place in the world for opportunity regardless of skin color / who you are. My lived experience means more to me than any article or news piece you can drop, Muhammad. If you want to hate this great nation, that is your prerogative. Life is difficult and terrible, and foreign policy aside, I haven't seen a country in history do better than the US in terms of equity and quality of life for its citizens. You can keep hating from the outside, or better yet, attempt to make something of your nation instead of hating others. If you are an American, be happy you don’t have the perspective of people like me who came from the outside in. Have a great day, ill pray for you.

Muhammad Rasheed - John M wrote: “Im blacker than you and live in America”

You’re operating a faceless anonymous account. That means you’re a white person by default.

John M wrote: “stop the virtue signaling victim card bullshit”

Stop the racism, lying and gaslighting.

John M wrote: “Im a first generation immigrant”

That means saying you were “blacker” than me was ignorant. U.S. race relations history isn’t about “skin color” discrimination, it’s about lineage & heritage discrimination. The American descendants of slavery (ADOS) are economically discriminated against because the former slave holder descendants don’t want us to fairly compete with them in the markets. They prefer to deal with the “POC” immigrants because you all don’t bring the same historical baggage guilt-trip. Your usage of the term “victim card” means you side with white supremacy as a loyal lackey.

John M wrote: “My lived experience means more to me than any article or news piece you can drop, Muhammad.”

My ethnic group’s 400+ year experience in this nation we’ve built means more to me than any leeching parasitic immigrant too cowardly to stay and fix the sh*thole they escaped from.

John M wrote: “If you want to hate this great nation”

Between the two of us, I’m not the one who ran from his country. I stayed to fix the problems using the system’s infrastructure, while you ran from yours because it’s either hopelessly corrupt beyond repair, or you’re an international grifter who’s just following the easy money. Probably a bit of both.

Anyway, I don’t hate my country. I hate the white supremacist ideology and all those who support it. They stand out with their usage of slurs like “victim card.”

John M wrote: “I haven't seen a country in history do better than the US in terms of equity and quality of life for its citizens”

Despite the recent rhetoric in the national news, the USA’s government was made to be pro-immigrant. Our immigration policy was weaponized against ADOS back during Reconstruction, so of course you feel the way you feel.

John M wrote: “You can keep hating from the outside”

lol How am I on the “outside” when I’ve been here since before the Revolutionary War?

John M wrote: “or better yet, attempt to make something of your nation”

That’s literally what political activism is for. lol

John M wrote: “instead of hating others.”

Stop choosing a position worthy of hatred. Learn how to empathize and work with people different from you. Anti-Black American discrimination is evil.

John M wrote: “ill pray for you”

You white supremacists pray only to mammon. Keep it.

John M - Thats a whole lot of baseless assumptions. Seems like you have a picture of what is in your mind “an enemy” and find that said picture in everyone and everything you come across. I wasnt saying ill pray for you out of disrespect, im genuinely sad for someone such as yourself, people like you come in all sorts of flavors but they all have the same thing in common: Their boogyman is everywhere, and is everyone they see any disagreement with.

I have seen my fair share of American discrimination being a black man in a white neighborhood. It is absolutely nothing compared to a vast majority of the world, and nothing compared to how people in my country were persecuted. Look in the mirror and realize how good you really have it.

As for my country, yea you are correct it is beyond redemption, it is at the epicenter of a religious war that sees no end. My criticism was not for people escaping their fate, it is towards those who hate the very country who provided them solitude.

As for my identity, I plan on keeping it anonymous as to protect my livelihood from crazy people online. Im telling you who I am. Who you think I am is your own prerogative and not one im willing to convince you of and put myself out there in the process. Call me coward or whatever you want, I have a family to care for.

Muhammad Rasheed - John M wrote: “Thats a whole lot of baseless assumptions”

That’s a foolish comment considering you’re on record rejecting news articles as primary information sources because they make you uncomfortable.

John M wrote: “Seems like you have a picture of what is in your mind ‘an enemy’”

Said the guy who rejected my well-documented position using a common white supremacist slur.

John M wrote: “I wasnt saying ill pray for you out of disrespect”

Your entire position is hostile and disrespectful, so why would your personal idea/expression of “prayer” have any meaning to me?

John M wrote: “im genuinely sad for someone such as yourself”

I suggest you change utterly before the fruit of your karma catches up to you.

John M wrote: “people like you come in all sorts of flavors but they all have the same thing in common: Their boogyman is everywhere, and is everyone they see any disagreement with."

I posted the proof of the problems my people routinely deal with and you dismissed it and mocked me.

John M wrote: “I have seen my fair share of American discrimination being a black man in a white neighborhood”

You claimed you were a first generation immigrant, and you keep defaulting to shallow “skin color” bigotry while you ignored my examples of actual systemic racism that my people have dealt with for centuries.

John M wrote: “it is towards those who hate the very country who provided them solitude.”

Which means you have no idea what you are talking about. You are a disrespectful alien in someone else’s country, enjoying the privileges of a special favored immigrant class over the long-abused former slave class. You invented your own rhetoric to make your parasitic lifestyle somehow noble in your eyes.

John M wrote: “As for my identity, I plan on keeping it anonymous”

I expect cowardly hate trolls to act like cowardly hate trolls.

John M - I'm not ignoring the discrimination faced by black people in America, that is well known, documented and understood history. My point is that TODAY you have the same, if not more opportunities as I do. You can call me “alien” or whatever comment you want, it just shows the hate in your heart. You are so deeply rooted in rhetoric that you’re blinded to recognize your own privileges. To think that someone would look at me and you and be able to tell one of us is an African immigrant and the other is African American and then treat us different is beyond foolish. As long as you think you are a victim you will continue to live as one, you are a prisoner to your ideology.

Muhammad Rasheed - John M wrote: “I am not ignoring the discrimination faced by black people in America, that is well known, documented and understood history.”

Most of your own “understanding” is composed of historical retcons and propagandist misinformation.

John M wrote: “My point is that TODAY you have the same, if not more opportunities as I do.”

As a legal, natural born U.S. citizen, I certainly have more opportunities than the poor Nigerians (or whoever) you left behind in the mudhole you escaped from to come be a parasite in my country, but the U.S. immigrant class has infiltrated my government, made it MORE corrupt than what the villainous sons of the Confederacy laid, and given themselves privileges over me using the organized crime monopolization of power & influence model developed during the Prohibition era. Perhaps president Trump is trying to fix it with his deportation policies? It’s hard to tell since he himself is from an immigrant clan, so maybe he’s just trying to get one up on his clique’s rivals and nothing more.

John M wrote: “You can call me ‘alien’ or whatever comment you want”

Put your seatbelt on.

John M wrote: “it just shows the hate in your heart”

Why wouldn’t I hate those who came to my country as parasites, schemed with my traditional enemy against me, and here I find them on social media talking trash, gaslighting at me and mocking me with “akata” slurs? What about that behavior inspires friendship and good cheer to you?

John M wrote: “You are so deeply rooted in rhetoric that you’re blinded to recognize your own privileges.”

Said the alien who has done nothing but parrot misinformation rhetoric.

John M wrote: “To think that someone would look at me and you and be able to tell one of us is an African immigrant and the other is African American and then treat us different is beyond foolish.”

Contrary to popular belief, U.S. race relations isn’t about shallow racial phenotype traits, but about lineage & heritage. U.S. immigration was purposely weaponized against the American descendants of slavery (ADOS) to prevent us from having a labor monopoly—African and Caribbean blacks are favored over ADOS by white people because of this historical fact. You are either aware of this and are lying and gaslighting at me, or you are just ignorant of U.S. race relations.

John M wrote: “As long as you think you are a victim”

There are few things worse than aliens fake-lecturing at me on behalf of their white supremacist handlers.
