The Passion of Christ 10 of 12 ( Full Movie )

The Passion of the Christ (originally called The Passion), is a 2004 film co-produced (with Bruce Davey and Stephen McEveety), co-written (with Benedict Fitzgerald), and directed by Mel Gibson which dramatizes the Passion of Jesus largely according to the Christian Bible's New Testament Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

It stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene, Hristo Naumov Shopov as Pontius Pilate, Francesco De Vito as Peter, Hristo Jivkov as John, Mattia Sbragia as Caiphas, Claudia Gerini as Claudia, Rosalinda Celentano as Satan, and Luca Lionello as Judas Iscariot.

The Passion of the Christ largely covers the final twelve hours of Jesus' life beginning with the Agony in the Garden and ending with a brief depiction of his resurrection. Flashbacks of Jesus as a child, when Jesus worked as a carpenter, the Sermon on the Mount, the saving of Mary Magdalene from being stoned to death, and the Last Supper are also included.

It was produced independently and filmed in Italy — primarily at Cinecittà Studios in Rome and the old city of Matera. The estimated $30 million production cost, plus an additional estimated $15 million in marketing costs, were fully borne by Gibson and his Icon Productions. It was released on Ash Wednesday, February 25, 2004. It was rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America due to the violence. Newmarket Films distributed the film in the United States, and 20th Century Fox distributed the film internationally.

The film's dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Latin, and Hebrew with vernacular subtitles. Fr. William J. Fulco, a Jesuit and professor of ancient Mediterranean studies at Loyola Marymount University, translated the original English script into the ancient languages and also served as the production's theological consultant.

The Passion of the Christ generated significant controversy during production and in the weeks before and after its release. Critics alleged that the film propagated anti-Semitism and was historically inaccurate in presenting the Passion narrative; supporters agreed with Mel Gibson's contention that the film was less about who killed Jesus and more about his willing sacrifice on behalf of mankind. According to ABC News' Diane Sawyer on an episode of Primetime called "Mel Gibson's Passion", at the behest of Maia Morgenstern, a Romanian Jew whose father was a Holocaust survivor and whose grandfather died at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Mel Gibson removed a subtitle referencing Matthew 27:25, in which a "potential curse" upon the Jewish people is stated by Caiphas, the high priest of the Sanhedrin, after Pontius Pilate washes his hands: "His blood be upon us and upon our children". Gibson denied the existence of a curse, but stated the citation — in Aramaic — is audible "under the crowd". The level of graphic violence, particularly during the scourging and crucifixion scenes, also led to accusations that Mel Gibson deliberately exacerbated the violence.

A number of independent websites such as MyLifeAfter.com and Passion-Movie.com were launched to promote the film and its message and to allow people to discuss the film's effect on their lives. Documentaries such as Changed Lives: Miracles of the Passion chronicled stories of miraculous savings, forgiveness, new-found faith, and the story of a man who confessed to murdering his girlfriend after authorities determined her death was due to suicide. Another documentary, Impact: The Passion of the Christ, chronicled the popular response of the film in the United States, India, and Japan and examined the claims of anti-Semitism against Mel Gibson and the film.

In its initial theatrical release, The Passion of the Christ was a major hit, grossing in excess of $370.6 million in the United States. Ultimately, The Passion of the Christ became the highest grossing non-English language film ever.

  • @purnapoosmom The widow's son by Elijah, The Shunammite's son by Elisha, A man whose body had been placed in Elisha's tomb, Lazarus, The ruler's daughter by Jesus (Matthew 9:23-26), A number of people at the moment of the death of Jesus (Matthew 27:51-53), Eutychus, and Tabitha all purportedly resurrected...so i dont see how that proves his deity (by your own book)

  • @jlopez9090 Well He didn't stay dead he rose again look at the Shroud of Turin and see for yourself. The DVD is available on Amazon for $15 or can see it on YouTube "The Real Face of Jesus" by the History Channel. "I lay my life down willingly." He is the Bridegroom of humanity, He paid the Brideprice for all of us. God's ways are as far above our ways as the stars are above the earth, it's not something you can understand with the intellect.
