This is a provocative and the most real depiction of what I believe to happen to Christ! I'm not worried whether Mel Gibson is Anti-Semitic or not for I come from three lines of Judah, One of Levi, One of Ephraim and of course Manasseh! The so-called Jews at the time, did they really know that they were from the tribe of Judah as the Israel nation had been scattered then most of them came home! To me they are Hebrews with much of them just claiming to be Jewish! The point is, the Priest that were egotistical and legends in their own minds provoked the people to release Barnabas for the Pharisees and Sadducees stated they could not put him to death in all actuality that is precisely what they did! This probably is as close to the truth that exists! Jews, if you can call them that, there were others from different tribes who knew not their genealogy! However, they are guilty for an ignorance that the committed by choice! Padre Celeste abbia pietà su questa gente imbelcine!Read full review
This film is excellent, and well worth the money to spend on a DVD. It is the story of Christ's suffering and death, the last few days and hours of His life. If that part of human and world history in important to viewers, they will appreciate the film. It is graphic, and not appropriate for young children; others who are older may also be uncomfortable with some scenes. But torture was His experience, and it is shown as He probably experienced it. The scenery and cinematography are outstanding and spectacular, and there is much about this film that is sensitive and charming and loving. The scenes between Jesus and His mother are amazing.
The film opens in Gethsemane in medias res as Jesus prays and is tempted by Satan, while his apostles, Peter, James and John sleep. After receiving thirty pieces of silver, one of Jesus' other apostles, Judas Iscariot, approaches with the temple guards and betrays Jesus with a kiss. As the guards move in to arrest Jesus, Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus, but Jesus heals the ear. The temple guards arrest Jesus and the apostles flee. John tells Mary and Mary Magdalene of the arrest. Peter follows Jesus at a distance. Caiaphas holds a trial of Jesus over the objection of some of the other priests, who are expelled from the court. When questioned by Caiaphas whether he is the son of God, Jesus replies "I AM". Caiaphas is horrified and tears his robes and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Three times Peter denies knowing Jesus, but then runs away sobbing. Meanwhile, the remorseful Judas attempts to return the money to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Tormented by demons, he flees the city and hangs himself with a rope from a dead donkey. Caiaphas brings Jesus before Pontius Pilate to be condemned to death, but after questioning Jesus, Pilate sends him instead to the court of Herod Antipas, as Jesus is from Herod's ruling town of Nazareth. After Jesus is returned, Pilate offers the crowd that he will chastise Jesus and then will set him free. Pilate attempts to have Jesus freed by giving the people an option of freeing Jesus or the violent criminal Barabbas. To Pilate's dismay, the crowd demands to have Barabbas freed and Jesus killed. In an attempt to appease the crowd, Pilate has Jesus brutally scourged and mocked with a crown of thorns, yet the crowd continues to demand that Jesus be crucified. Pilate is left with no choice but to reluctantly order Jesus' crucifixion. As Jesus carries the cross along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, Seraphia wipes Jesus's face with her veil. Simon of Cyrene is unwillingly pressed into carrying the cross with Jesus. Jesus is then crucified. As he hangs from the cross, Jesus prays forgiveness for those who did this to him and redeems a criminal crucified next to him. After Jesus gives up his spirit and dies, a single drop of rain falls from the sky, triggering an earthquake which destroys the Temple and rips the cloth covering the Holy of Holies in two, to the horror of Caiaphas and the other priests. Satan is then shown screaming in defeat. The story ends with Jesus rising from the dead and exiting his tomb.Read full review
