      miscellaneous

      1. It's hard to find an actor who is more suitable for Jesus than JC, especially the eyes, which are abused by directors to the extent 2. Thousands of years of Western art history provide a modelling score for the crucifixion imagery in the film 3. Pre-modern punishment Mechanisms make executioners harlequins; pre-modern empires (Rome) are not good at invoking the approval of alien ruled (Jews) 4. The miraculous dilemma; if you are the savior, why don't you come down from the cross; Father,...

      Jesus on the cross, sinners under the cross

      As a Christian, the understanding of Jesus is indeed from sensibility to reason, and then back to the truth. What is truth? Truth is God. What is God? God is the source of everything. What is the source? The source is love. God is love.

      "You shall love one another as I have loved you, and this is my commandment. There is no greater love than this which lay down your life for your friends. If you do what I command you, you are my friends. I will no longer call you friends. You are...

      To be honest, I didn't understand

      There are a lot of bloody scenes and torture scenes throughout the whole story. I'm not a Christian, so I can only say that I didn't understand it. My buddy watched it from the beginning to the end and used a roll of toilet paper. I didn't shed a single tear, but Later I found out that he was forgiving and used forgiveness to change the trajectory of the world. Perhaps this is due to the cultural differences between the East and the West. But there is one thing I don't understand, who is the...

      God loves the world and makes the world love each other

      I know how faithful the film is to the Bible in its details, and I watched the plot unfold and recalled everything the Bible told me. One-to-one correspondence. Even though I basically knew this, I was still shocked. In the bloody scene, I understood how great the Lord's "redemption" is for the world. On the way to carry the cross, I cried, and when I was finally crucified, I turned my head to one side, and I couldn't bear it and didn't dare to look again. I don't feel the greatness of Christ...

      Jesus Christ

      Although we know that Jesus washed away the sins of mankind with his blood. But watching this process is so frustrating.
          She couldn't stop crying, and she couldn't help shouting "don't hit him". It takes a lot of power to sacrifice oneself for the sins of others.
          In addition, the mother-son relationship between Mary and Jesus makes Jesus three-dimensional. In the past, I saw various records about Jesus in the Bible, and they became vivid through movies.

          I don't...

    The story begins one night when Jesus ( James Caviezel ) is betrayed by Judas to a Jewish nobleman. Under the dark blue night, Jesus is awakened, shocked and disappointed, and then calmly, tolerantly, and silently arrested. When the...

    When filming the flogging scene, James Caviezel, who played Jesus, was injured twice, with a wound on his back that was 12 inches long. In addition,...

    Creative background

    The original title of the film was "Passion", but in October 2003, Miramax was shooting a film of the same name. Mel Gibson then changed the title to "The Passion of the Christ".
    Hollywood has always taken a mocking attitude towards religion, and even sneered at movies about religion. When Mel Gibson announced his plan to shoot a movie about the crucifixion, he was immediately criticized and hindered by various forces.
    Mel Gibson is the...

    Shooting process

    The filming of the film allowed Mel Gibson to prepare for at least ten years. Deep down in his heart, he desperately wanted to tell the story of this biographical religion in the form of a film. This has been his belief all along. Mel Gibson described the reasons why he made this film in this way, from preparation, manuscripts to scripts, to raising funds, shooting, post-production, and fighting for release. For this third film he...
