1. It's hard to find an actor who is more suitable for Jesus than JC, especially the eyes, which are abused by directors to the extent 2. Thousands of years of Western art history provide a modelling score for the crucifixion imagery in the film 3. Pre-modern punishment Mechanisms make executioners harlequins; pre-modern empires (Rome) are not good at invoking the approval of alien ruled (Jews) 4. The miraculous dilemma; if you are the savior, why don't you come down from the cross; Father, why do you forsake The Earthquake and the Destruction of the Temple, and the Resurrection 5. Sorrow always calls and gathers viewers and believers, and this movie pushes it to its peak with blood, scars, and tyranny

    Still pretty shocking

    Another uncomfortable movie to watch.

The Passion of the Christ quotes

  • Caiphas: They say you're a king. Where is this kingdom of yours? What line of kings do you descend from? Speak up! You're just the son of some obscure carpenter, no? Some say you're Elijah, but he was carried off to Heaven in a chariot! Why don't you say something? You've been brought here as a blasphemer! What do you say to that? Defend yourself.

    Jesus: I have spoken openly to everyone. I've taught in the Temple where we all gathered. Ask those who have heard what I have to say.

    Temple Guard: Is that how you address the High Priest? With arrogance?

    [the Temple guard strikes Jesus with authority]

    Jesus: If I have spoken evil, tell me what evil I have said. But if not, why do you hit me?

  • Annas: Yes, we'll listen to those that have heard your blashpemies. Good! Let's hear them!

    Accuser: He cures the sick by magic! With the help of devils! I've seen it. He casts out devils, with the help of devils.

    Accuser: He calls himself the King of the Jews!

    Accuser: No, he calls himself the Son of God! He said he would destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days!

    Accuser: Worse! He claims he's the Bread of Life! And if we don't eat his flesh or drink his blood we won't inherit eternal life.

    Caiphas: Silence! You're all under this man's spell. Either offer proof of his wrongdoing or be quiet!

    Nicodemus: This entire proceeding is an outrage. All I've heard from these "witnesses" is mindless contradiction!
