From "You Don't Know America":
Film director and producer Mel Gibson invested $25 million and shot in Italy and other countries. The film was officially released in 2004.2.25. The film recreates the suffering of the last twelve hours of Jesus' life. The film was a sensation before it was performed, and it was even more sensational after the performance. Many Christian and Catholic churches in the United States have organized many large-scale screenings, and the premieres attended from 6,000 to tens of thousands of people. Whether it is for applause or against critics, Mel Gibson's film is history. "Most Passionate Movie".
Pope Paul II, who was living at the time, believed that "the plot of this film is a representation of historical reality". The religious leader not only opposes the Iraq war, but also does not agree with the serious favoritism of the American state's behavior that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has exerted in the Jewish community of the United States. And the pastor Billy Graham, who has the status of Christian national teacher in the United States, was moved to tears by the living Jesus in the movie. Billy is a big figure who presided over the ceremony of the new president touching the Bible and taking the oath for the president of the United States. He was moved and said, "This is a film that condenses the sermons and divine revelation of a person's life into one film." The authoritative affirmation of the film by these two religious leaders laid the foundation for the current American Christian and Catholic society's support for this film. Great support and love for the movie.
It's not easy for someone to label Mel Gibson "anti-Semitic". However, this film is controversial, ranking first in the 2006.6.10 "Entertainment Weekly" selection of the most controversial films in film history.
However, the accumulation of public opinion - the composition of the situation - the brewing of ideas will lead to the cohesion of political focus, catalyzing the development of policies from infancy to maturity, and driving the implementation of sensible policies. This is a very delicate process. Mel Gibson's film, which is having a subtle effect on American politics, may help, starting with the Bush-Powell Middle East Roadmap (establishing a Palestinian state), Condi Rice's continuation of hard-handed treatment and soft-handedness. The gradual and difficult practice of treating the root cause by hand.
Who killed Jesus? The rulers and armies of the Roman Empire in Jerusalem, or the Jewish bishops and rabbis who hated the popular Jesus? Perhaps, the controversy will continue. But Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns on his head, covered in scars and blood, carrying a heavy cross on his shoulders, was walking on the road to the death penalty. He was misunderstood and insulted by the crowd along the way. The holiness of the human mind. The image of the crucified Jesus displayed on the huge screen, accompanied by alternately showing the tragic mud color of the earth and the beautiful music of heaven, will naturally stimulate the American people to think about the original origin of today's war on terror and the war against terror. .
