Author Topic: "Compassion" version of "Son of God" Dennis Benjamin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1445 From: Denton, MD Registered: Feb 2002 posted 02-21-2014 10:24 AM                        Does anyone know what the "Compassion" version of "Son of God" is? It is two minutes longer than the regular version. I doubt we will play it.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-21-2014 11:17 AM                        I read in Hollywood Reporter that they re-edited the film to cut scenes featuring Satan out, because the actor has a striking resemblance to President Obama. Maybe they had to put in other scenes to make things make sense and that resulted in the longer version? Or maybe this one has a less violent crucifixion scene? At any rate I tried googling it and came up with nothin'.  |  IP: Logged Martin McCaffery Film God Posts: 2481 From: Montgomery, AL Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-21-2014 11:29 AM                        I will venture a guess that there is a "church" version and a public version. They are selling lots of tickets to church groups, and probably four walling many shows, it would make sense to have a little something extra for those screenings.  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 02-21-2014 12:50 PM                     "Compassion" refers to the crucifixion. Perhaps those scenes were modified in some way.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-21-2014 03:49 PM                        quote: Robert E.
