Profile of The Passion of the Christ

The mood of The Passion of the Christ is bleak, emotional, and rough. The plot centers around the clergy, a tragic hero, and religions or cults. It is a drama, independent, and historical movie. Stylistically, The Passion of the Christ is epic. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The setting is the Holy Land. The Passion of the Christ happens in ancient times. The movie is known for being controversial, a blockbuster, and an award winner. Note that it includes strong violent content.

Summary of The Passion of the Christ

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. 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. 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. The faint of heart should be prepared for the brutal, barbaric beatings that Christ endures. 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. 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.

If you know anything about the Bible, you probably don't need to see this movie unless you want to know exactly what a crucifixion looks like. If you just want to watch a nice guy be mercilessly tortured for an extended period of time, then this is... Read and rate it
