The Passion of Christ 12 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.

  • jesus forgive me lord

  • @KPalms1001 Of course even seeing it from their perspective doesn't make it "right" morally or ethically, but humans are generally stubborn to change, especially when it comes down to a touchy subject such as faith and belief. Fast forward a thousand years, and the once persecuted Christians weren't much better, nor were any of the other religions that sprang up and became widespread during the time.

  • @KPalms1001 And yes, Christians were brutally and harshly persecuted during the Roman era, though see it from their perspective - an Empire that controls more than half of the known world sees a new Religion arise, based on the worship of ONE god, not multiple. They're going to label them as lunatics, heretics, etc., as would any Empire that wanted to keep their practices of polytheism in power, as they'd been for thousands of years.

  • @KPalms1001 In fact the worst I see today is Islam (and no, It's not simply based on events in the past 10 years) - The Quran actually supports and encourages violence to be openly carried out by it's followers in multiple passages, and as we've seen, they HAVE been by so called "Islamic extremists". They're hardly "extremists", they're simply following their religion as it was meant to be followed. The Bible has similar passages, but they're no longer (for the most part) actually practiced.

  • @KPalms1001 I'm sure you are content, and I have no problem with anyone's personal beliefs, I encourage them, and though I'd personally prefer them to be factually based, as long as you keep it to yourself, I'm content too. Don't take me for a narrow-minded person that only cares about criticizing Christianity - nearly every proclaimed "Religion" on this Earth, in particular Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, have all been the topic or reason for horrible and violent actions in history and today.

  • @gdsm93 I will agree with you that alot have bad things have been a result of Christianity. However, not all christians are like that. And let's all remember that Christians were at the recieving end of persecution for hundreds of years during Roman times.

    And by the way, I don't need to 'wake up'. I am perfectly content where I am thank you very much.

  • @KPalms1001 ...current events have rooted to be the cause of Religion. Countless wars, disagreements, holy crusades, and for what? In the name of some divine god who shows himself only through the greed and delusions of man? Wake up. I'd dare say I know and understand more about Christianity than 90% of "Christians".

  • @KPalms1001 I'm not "judging" anyone - I'm simply calling out what I see - primitive, baseless beliefs. See it from my point of view - I come to your house, claiming to be a advocate for the church of the Panda god of Justice. I claim this Panda God is real, because he himself influenced me to write a book about him. Does this make it factual? Believable? No. You'd call me a psychopath and a lunatic, and close your door in my face. Back to Christianity, add on top of this that both historic and

  • @KPalms1001 "Christians have their right to a personal opinion." - Every person on this Earth has a right to their own opinion, I never argued otherwise. If we didn't have differing opinions, it would be a very bland and boring world. I'm not arguing on the basis of opinion - but rather on faith (or belief in something without any base or factual evidence). When faith and blind beliefs are pushed on others or affect others, then I and every other rational person has a problem.

  • GUESS WHAT........ We didn't pick JESUS, hE PICKED US..... THANK YOU JESUS, I LOVE YOU JESUS....
