Editorial Reviews

Mel Gibson’s controversial but undeniably compelling account of the last hours of Jesus Christ is nothing if not correctly titled: The word “passion” is derived from a Latin term for pain and suffering. And that’s exactly what director Gibson shows us in horrifying detail. From his apprehension by Roman soldiers to his subsequent scourging and crucifixion, the self-proclaimed Son of God suffers terribly, and we see, close up, the effects of every lash, every blow, every rock, and every nail. Adapted by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald from the Gospels (particularly the Gospel of John), Passion barely touches on Christ’s message of love; there are brief flashbacks to such New Testament landmarks as the Sermon on the Mount, but they merely lend context to things Jesus sees, hears, or remembers while en route to his destiny: the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. James Caviezel does a fine job as Christ, although his is not a role that calls for a great deal of emoting via dialogue. It’s left to him to convey the intense suffering that Christ underwent during those awful, final hours on Good Friday. Caviezel does this with remarkable skill, and his performance is matched only by those of Maia Morgenstern (playing the Blessed Mother with heart-tugging dignity) and Monica Bellucci (an Italian sexpot oddly cast but quite effective as the reformed prostitute Mary Magdalene). The Passion of the Christ, while produced and shot with great artistry, is not a film that will engage viewers aesthetically or intellectually; it is a uniquely visceral viewing experience, and one that is not recommended for children, no matter how devout. The violence depicted here will unnerve some people, and that’s just what Gibson intended. He wants his audience to realize just how much Christ endured on behalf of his followers, and in that respect the erstwhile actor has succeeded beyond his wildest expectations. The controversy over the director’s alleged anti-Semitism faded rapidly when the oft-predicted reprisals against Jews failed to materialize even as the film attracted tens of millions of moviegoers all over the world, and it shouldn’t be factored into any decision to buy the DVD. It’s unlikely that you’ll ever see a more gripping, visceral account of Christ’s last day, and we guarantee that you’ll never forget it. Ed Hulse, Barnes & Noble

Passion of The Christby JosephNicholas

August 16, 2009: Passion of The Christ by Mel Gibson

This memorable film portrays the last day of Jesus Christ. The beating and crucifixion of Jesus is particularly gory. It boasts a great performance by Jim Caviezel who plays Jesus. But this is not a feel good movie. It's more of a sick feeling in the core of your being type of film, because Christian or not, it's not fun to watch someone get tortured.

July 11, 2009: Gibson was forced to delete scenes relating to the influence of the Jewish priests & Jesus's subsequent crusifiction. Also, death by crusifiction results in dislocation of arm joints resulting in even more pain on the part of the victim.
