Jesus resists Satan’s temptations and his betrayed by Judas. Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death. Jesus is brought before Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, who listens to the accusations leveled at him by the Pharisees and realizes he is confronting a political conflict. Pilate who gives the crowd a choice between Jesus and the criminal Barrabas. The crowd chooses to have Barrabas set free and to condemn Jesus. Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and flagellated Jesus is nailed to the cross and undergoes his last temptation,the fear that he has been abandoned by
Where is the Love some say? While dying on the cross in pain, Jesus asks GOD to forgive the ones that that tortured him, falsly accused him of being a fraud, and comdemmed him to death. ISN`T THIS LOVE! The PASSION is the belief for his fate. Jesus had to die in order for non believers to believe.
I felt it was against Jews..
What vilolence could this film possibly bring? It`s part of history. Should we hate all Germans because of great war? Should we hate all Japanese because of Pearl Harbour.......? Christ shows us LOVE, FORGIVENESS. This is the true message of this film. We must all love each other. Great film Mel you deserve the ACADAMY.
It is a magnificent movie that will be remembered for ages, like The 10 Commandments, despite being violent as it is supposed bo be. It was very gutsy of Mel Gibson to do this despite all adversities. It shows how firmly rooted he is in is in his faith. For those in doubt about the movie because of so many write-ups, pros and cons, just go and see the movie and decide f or yourself, you have free will and intelligence. But be warned that this is not like entertainment movies. It is a first of its kind.
I`m a Catholic that was educated in Catholic Schools. Not once was I ever told anything bad about Jews or other relgions. Apart from Christianity, I was educated about Judaism and Islam. I was told to respect all religions and all Prophets of God. This film shows us what a true Christian must be, FORGIVING, LOVING, and NON JUDGING. My parents, my teachers and my priest did a good job in teaching me this since not once have I badmouthed another religion. I`ve gone to cynagogue and mosques and prayed along other faiths. God is one and Jesus was comdemmed by evil, not god loving people. Everyone should give this movie a chance. Go see it, feel
The BEST film ever made. Excellent work Mr. Gibson.
I`m sorry, where was the "love" and "spirituality" most of you are refering to? Maybe by "love" you mean "buckets full of blood" and by "spirituality" you mean "torn flesh". As a film I was profoundly disappointed by The Passion of The Christ, the whole "Jesus died and suffered for all of us" was not backed up by any story line at all, all we saw was a man being tortured beyond belief with no apparent reason why. I guess you had to be a Christian to fill in the glaring holes which makes this nothing more than Mel Gibson preaching to the converted. I read one review that refered to the movie as "fundalmetalist pornography" and to be honest, I
I have never seen nor heard this story with so much passion and emotional love!
This opened my eyes to religion. I`m 19 years old and all I see is how messed up this world has become. Sex, Drugs, Viloance are all around me, everywhere I go these days. I`ve not learn much about religion and I don`t pray. I needed this film to give me hope because at 19 I`m depressed and lost. This movie is AWSOME. Last night I was on the net for hours after seeing the movie trying to learn about Jesus. I cried and cried and as a guy I`m not suppose to do this. I feel like a change person and I`ve made my first call to a drug rehab and I will become a better person. Thanks Mel your film gave me hope of a better life.
