Therein lies the core point, if it's ok to see one, it should be ok to see the other, if not, you're looking like a bit of a nitwit there.

Which is why I ironically point it out to anyone who absolutely thinks that the Passion has changed their life for the better. {again no offense to anyone here}

i experience/judge a movie, based on its significance to me. Kill Bill will never be equivalent in significance to Passion for me, hence the "gore" (if you can call it that) in Passion, I don't see the same as the wounds/blood in Kill Bill. Anyone else is free to disagree. If someone takes their kids to Passion, yet doesn't like Kill Bill, it may be because the underlying significance (beyond the physical images of the movie) of Passion is what governs for them. its not something you can logically prove right, like you can that a line is the shortest distance between two points. either you believe it or you don't.

One can be more significant to the other, but it's up to the end user.

If you want to shield children from violence and gore, then you honestly can't justify bringing them to see the Passion.

To a kid, gore is gore.
