The reason the Jews in Jesus day hated Him so much is because He was rocking their comfort boat. I hope that I writing this helps out anyone who has been aching to see Passion or anyone who already has seen view it in a better way.įirefly you're right. I think that this movie brings everything to the table if you believe in Jesus. Although, there are some people, like my father, who keep on saying that they are not ready to see this movie. Not only this film refers to a huge religious icon in life, but it tells a story that is magnificient and beautiful. The Passion, in my opinion, did an exceptional job on showing such hatred, and so much strength an individual can persue if he/she believes in what they are fighting for. I don't think it is accurate to say, " I liked this film." But I can say that I liked the experience that it brought to me because it gave me more insight on how someone may think on the life of Jesus. In my own opinion, I appreciated how Mel Gibson directed this film. This movie was a very touchy subject and left many with many mixed feelings. When The Passion was in theatres I went with my friend and his church to go watch it. I am a young man who is religious but no longer attends church or follows any religion strictly. Willingly, I might add, and with remorse for those inflicting the pain upon him.I guess to start off this synopsis I should introduce myself so people know where I am coming from. Yes, it's only a film and Mel's interpretation, but it evoked a vision of the level of suffering that Christ endured. His film made me understand on a gut-wrenching, emotional level, what an enourmous sacrifice Jesus made for mankind. This is what, for me, Mel Gibson accomplished with The Passion of the Christ. The story has ascended into almost a parable, where one tells the story without sensing the humanity of it.
definitely.įor me (and I assume, a great many others) the story of the crucifixion is well known, but despite the intellectual awareness of what it was, the reality of it, and what led up to it is hard to comprehend. Was it necessary? As a (recently minted) Christian, I say. There was one moment in particular where I physically cringed in my seat. Yes, it was brutal and difficult to watch. Actually it seemed like it was mainly those who lived within the city, who were probably more likely to benefit from the status quo.Īnd of course we have the torture of Christ. It was clear in the film that not ALL Jews wanted Jesus killed. Anyone who would come away from this film hating Jews is an idiot. If anyone should be complaining about this movie it should be Italians, with the portrayal of the Roman soldiers. As far as anti-Semitism? Give me a break.
