Hello to all! Part of what brings me here to this forum relates to my having had an opportunity to watch "The "Passion" as a previewing up here in Montreal. A very powerful movie, I must say! I'm sure that this film will spark a lot more interest in studying the Aramaic and the Peshitta in particular. As it has done for me. I have a strong Hebrew background (through studying the Tanach) which makes the glide into the Aramaic all that much easier for me. I'm wondering if any one else has seen the film to date...and what they think of the Aramaic content (the principal language of the film). Also, who helped the cast to master their lines etc.??
