The Passion of the Christ
I recently viewed "The Passion of the Christ," director and produced by Mel Gibson. I found it to be incredibly, moving, but spiritual film, despite the fact that it is graphically violent and detailed on the physical torture applied to Jesus. Judging this film "anti-Semitism" and "pornographically violent" is completely irrelevant for, what I believe, this film is dealing with more than the artistic, social, and religious contexts. The Passion of the Christ is a film about the last twelve hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth’s. The film open’s in the Garden of Olives where Jesus went to pray after the last supper. Passion is a perfect word for the subject matter Mel Gibson examines in this film. It is indeed a movie about the suffering and pain Jesus undertakes, as there is almost no rest for us to breath. Artistically, "Passion" is unbalanced for it shows so much agony and brutality while almost no portion of peace and love, which Christianity promotes, can be found.

`The Passion of the Christ' is more than a very well made film that tells the story of Jesus and entertains the audiences. It is a rare example that will shock you and stick with you for a long period of time, or if not a lifetime. One does not have to be religious in order to appreciate this film. Thus, this is a movie about love, hope, faith, and forgiveness. Jesus died for all mankind, for our sins to be free, but suffered for all of us. I recommend that everyone see this film in order to compare the film to the bible and the way we was taught about the life of Jesus. Also, this film can be an eye opener for those who don’t believe in Jesus. it moves me beyond any speech about peace and love. Anyone who criticizes James Caviezel for being dull under the silicone make-up is missing the point. Using merely body gestures and eyes expressions, Caviezel did an excellent performance in expressing Jesus' mental state. Ultra-violent? Yes, it is. In fact "Passion" is the most violent film. I have watched some of the goriest and bloodiest movies but
