A very spiritual movie

While recalling the relevant chapters in the Bible, I finished reading "The Passion". I didn't expect my heart to be quite strong. Except for a few particularly bloody scenes that made me hide my face from watching, everything else was fine. Why is it so, because the theme of this movie is not violence and blood, but the reproduction of the suffering that Jesus Christ suffered in those days. Who did you show it to? I think it’s mainly Christians, and I want everyone to remember the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for us. If you are not a Christian, you may encounter some difficulties in the past, or some unbelieving people may understand a lot of things after reading it. But seeing some people associate commercial factors with this film, saying that Mel Gibson is smart, it's really hard for me to accept. It is said that when Mel Gibson was at the peak of his career, he suddenly felt bored. One day, when he went to the top of the building alone, he was about to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but he heard a voice saying that I need you. He thought it was the voice of Jesus. From then on he began to wonder what he could do, and then it took several years to remake such a movie. He insisted that the actors speak lines in Latin, thinking that even if they don't understand everyone, they must be familiar with the story. Later, after repeated requests from investors, the comments were accepted and subtitles were added.

After all, the description of this aspect in the Bible is too simplistic. This is a feature of its writing, and it is never exaggerated in the facts. The Bible is not used to persuade others, and Christians should not "convince" others to believe in religion. Victory in language does not necessarily mean anything. Unbelief is unbelief unless the Holy Spirit moves.

Sometimes I really admire the "persecution delusion" of Chinese people. I always think that Christians preach the gospel to you are nosy and difficult for others. They even say that people are shooting this movie to empty your pockets or change your politics. Ideology. In fact, the true spirit of Christianity is not in coercion. As long as it is to force others to believe in religion, most of them have some deviations in faith, such as the Crusades in the Middle Ages. Jesus Christ set a good example, he stopped Peter from fighting with the soldiers. From beginning to end, he endured the torture silently, because he knew that this was what the Father meant.

There are many problems when someone attacked this movie, which will cause controversy. A movie made by a person will definitely have some personal standpoints and prejudices, and the people who watch it will definitely have more or less problems. However, judging from the fact that most parts of the movie are completely faithful to the Bible, and there are also appropriate reminiscence scenes interspersed, I believe that the director has been inspired by the Holy Spirit.

The actor who played Jesus was very sincere and his eyes were holy, indeed very outstanding. Pilate and his wife also seemed to arouse sympathy. It is said that he later became a believer and promoted Christianity to become the state religion of Rome.

Finally, I want to recall some of the places that touched me the most.

Jesus had a foreboding of his end in the Garden of Gethsemane, so he prayed to God while Satan watched indifferently. Jesus had a foreboding of the coming pain, but still said, "My father, if it is feasible, please let this cup leave me. But don't do what I want, just do what you want."

Peter cursed Jesus against Jesus in many Jews. At that time, he denied the Lord three times. Later, he woke up, thought of Jesus' prophecy, and said sadly that he was a sinner. This reminds me of the young policeman in Crash, who thought he had no prejudice and ended up being nervous and killed a black man by mistake. For the sake of peace of mind, many non-Christians refuse to admit that everyone is guilty and make many excuses for their mistakes. In fact, there is no way to justify themselves.

Jesus was tortured all the way to the flogging court, accepting the smile on his face before the flogging.


Jesus was crucified and said to the cold-blooded Jewish priest, Lord, forgive them, because they don't know. So the robber next to him was deeply moved and believed in the Lord.

There are also some memories of him, Mary, Magdalene, and the believers present when Jesus was crucified. Some are warm and some are full of deep meaning.

Those who sympathized with Jesus in the back were old and weak, women and children, and it seemed that the believers came from women and children, and then men.

This is a film without suspense. For the audience who will watch it, the plot should not be a problem. The key is to interpret some details. There may be controversies in some places, but I think these are not the main points. The point is that there is such a person who shed blood for us sinners, sacrificed with his own body, and relieved us of the bondage of sin. From this point, Christianity has shown great tolerance.

There are many film reviews of non-Christians that are worth looking at, because they have some valuable information, and some of the reviews are also pertinent. You can check Zhou Liming’s film review: "The Passion of the Christ":
