Movie: "Passion for the Christ"


Director: Mel Gibson

Storyline: This film tells the story of the last 12hours in the life of Jesus (Caviezel), on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem


I watched this movie with an open mind. I really didn't understand much that was going on; I had to read subtitles all the way though. I guess that's what made it seem so real-like, using the language Jesus used back then. Anyway, the story for the movie is inspired by many sources. Included is material from the diaries of St. Anne Catherine Emmerich (1774-1824) as collected in the book, "The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ" (note: it's not *based* upon her work), "The Mystical City of God" by St. Mary of Agreda, and most directly, the New Testament books of John, Luke, Mark and Matthew. This information is listed online for those interested in where the got the story its ideas, and from who.

The one thing that I still don’t understand is what is following Jesus. Is that some kind of demon women thing? What I kind of like about the story, is that it showed it was not all the Roman's idea to crucify him. It showed that the Jews where the ones afraid of him. Strange feelings towards Judas. I felt for him, he tried to betray Jesus, by taking silver for him, then once seeing what they where doing to Jesus once in custody, he wanted to take it back. It’s as if guilt and pain took over, he could not take it. I guess he got three-fold in return, he commented suicide by hanging himself. Seeing demons was he? He had no absolution….

Jesus was indeed beat to hell. I'm talking skin falling off, red meat, Blood spatter, He took it, always asking for forgivingness for those that harmed him. He spoke to people as women, man, brother. Never was mother his mother. I guess the one thing that gave me a tear in the eye is the bond he and his mother had, more she to him. All that were below him as he hung from the cross had deep pain in their hearts. It is as those you could feel the pain of past people. Not real clear, but intense, I guess it's a heavy issue - this movie. I commend Mel Gibson for doing it. I like the sudden special effects.

It is sad that really, in all those years since that happened, that part of the world and the people have not changed all that much. A mix of religions - everyone waiting a real big event. Well who knows? The movie was good and educational as well. I would not let someone young watch it. I didn't let my son see it. I felt more comfortable watching it at home versus at a theater. I am empathic and to much sorrow and tears from a theater full of people would make me sick and depressed for a week. Well enjoy the movie. Tell next time

Until next time...

Blessed Be,
Dunya
