I was transported to ancient Judea for those two hours. The sets, the costumes, the cinematography, the languages (Aramaic & Latin) the acting and the realism are stunning. His teachings and his life were indeed very uplifting but the most incredible thing he did is w hat this movie shows. He is not the victim, he is fighting a battle with the powerful Satan character ever present and tempting him to use his power to stop it.Įven my wife - who hates violent movies - saw this and saw why the movie is so powerful by showing what he did, why he did it and what it means to all of us. To me the violence was so powerful because in every scene you can see that the Christ has control and has the power to change what is happening. A friend who saw it with me commented that he had just seen a poor guy get beat up, tortured and killed for 2 hours. This is most powerful movie I have ever seen. Performed in Aramaic and Latin with English subtitles, Gibson's labor of love is sure to prompt discussion and debate as to historical and Biblical fact. Maia Morgenstern, Monica Bellucci, and Hristo Jivkov are touching as Mary, Magdalene, and John respectively, who are devastated by Jesus' fate yet aware that they can do nothing to change it. The faint of heart should be prepared for the brutal, barbaric beatings that Christ endures. Still, the drama focuses on the seemingly endless torture inflicted upon Jesus by Roman soldiers at the urging of the Jewish crowd that considers him a blasphemer, despite the attempts of a sympathetic Pontius Pilate (Hristo Naumov Shopov) to spare him from death. Directed by Mel Gibson (BRAVEHEART)-who funded the film himself and co-wrote the screenplay-PASSION uses flashbacks to substantiate a handful of pertinent moments in Jesus' life and teachings, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the Last Supper, as well as his relationships with his mother and his disciples.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST depicts the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth (Jim Caviezel), beginning with his betrayal by Judas Iscariot (Luca Lionello) and ending with his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection.
