I do not want to get into how this movie affected me personally, for I, as many others, was greatly moved by this film. What I want to mention is how beautiful this film was in its portrayal and style.
Gibson has truly succeeded in making a Christian film that actually can pass as a mainstream film, for this does. Those that complain about the incessant gore (which is no more than say GLADIATOR or KILL BILL) are overlooking the beautiful artistry that is displayed. From set and props to the style in which the film is done is absolutely incredible. It adds a great deal of symbolism and beauty to the story.
The acting is incredible, and for those who say that Caviezel was not right for Jesus, they could not be more wrong. Also, the woman who played the Virgin Mary really stirred my emotions. The relationship portrayed between Jesus and her is heartfelt and truly brings the humanity to the film.
Like I said, I do not want to get into the negativity that the mass media has branded with this film. I am just glad to see that it has done well and continues to do well.
For those concerned of accuracy, this film was pretty much dead on.
For being such a wonderful, moving, thought provoking film that is astheticaly beautiful I give THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST a 9/10.
