Mel Gibson directed three films, "Braveheart", "Revelation", "Passion of the Christ", all of them bloody, one poured ink on the big screen in the age of cold weapons, one made a black one. Leopard shreds the face of an indigenous hunter, and "The Passion of the Christ" has a profound on-screen interpretation of the Chinese word "skin and flesh" ... His films often take the cruel side of the development of civilization as a huge story. Looking at the background, without any religious beliefs, the author is still shocked.
Mel Gibson showed no pity for the audience's eyes and made the torture of Jesus before his death so horrific. A few are particularly impressive. ——When Jesus was carrying the cross and trekking up the mountain, he fell to the ground tired and was beaten by a group of soldiers. Maria, who had been following the crowd in tears, finally rushed out and threw herself in front of Jesus. When the heartbroken and desperate mother fell down in front of Jesus, who could no longer get up, her son's eyes suddenly glowed: "Mother, look, I have made everything new." Then she stood up and continued to carry the cross. —Nailed to the cross, he shouted to the sky "Why forsake me?" When the last second came: "Father, I have given my soul into your hands."
There is a great price to be paid to love all people. The movie said it at the beginning. Jesus was not afraid. As long as everyone can have great love in their hearts, he is willing to sacrifice himself. The whole body was covered in blood, and I couldn't see Jesus' face, but his amber pupils were still shining brightly. Judas in the movie would regret betraying Jesus, throwing back the thirty dollars he got from betraying Jesus to the priests, and committing suicide after betraying Jesus. This is his great love. The governor in the movie would declare Jesus innocent, would ask his wife about the truth, and would say in desperation: I am innocent. This is his great love...
Of course, since it is a religious film, controversy is inevitable. Mel Gibson's excessive bloody scenes have already been mentioned above, as well as the too naked criticism of the Jews, blaming Jesus' death entirely on them. No matter how beautified it is, it cannot change the essence of Christian doctrine serving the slave society (Actually, I don’t think this is a big problem, after all, Confucianism has the same function, and it is always biased to criticize Christ without criticizing Confucianism). But after all of that, I still think it's a good movie.
Your suffering is my glory. At the end of the film, Jesus is reborn in another world. As he said on the cross before his death, he did not die, but went to paradise, paradise. He didn't feel that he was suffering, he regarded all this as a trial and the only way to go. In the end, he walked naked to the bright light outside the cave. The camera flashed the evidence of suffering on his palms. At the same time as the pain, inexplicably, a kind of positive energy was released. Jesus suffered, but he is forever remembered. This article is very confusing, because I am an atheist, and watching religious films is usually viewed from an objective and rational point of view. But this film confuses me, and exposes too much of the narrowness of human nature that I cannot be objective. It's a sad movie, but not helpless, it brings people a strong belief. In some parts of the film, I will look forward to a happy ending of "good and evil", but I also find more and more that there is no difference between good and evil. Maybe this is the enemy who loves you. Get something extra. And which scourge did you give Jesus?
