Product Description

"The Passion Of The Christ" is a film about the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth’s life. The film opens in the Garden of Olives (Gethsemane) where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Jesus resists Satan’s temptations. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, Jesus is arrested and taken back to within the city walls of Jerusalem where the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy and his trial results in a condemnation to death.

Jesus is brought before Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, who listens to the accusations leveled at him by the Pharisees. Realizing he is confronting a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in the matter. Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who gives the crowd a choice between Jesus and the criminal Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free and to condemn Jesus.

Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and flagellated. Unrecognizable now, he is brought back before Pilate, who presents him to the crowd as if to say “is this not enough?” It is not. Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes.

Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem all the way up to Golgotha. On Golgotha, Jesus is nailed to the cross and undergoes his last temptation - the fear that he has been abandoned by his Father. He overcomes his fear, looks at Mary, his Holy Mother, and makes the pronouncement which only she can fully understand, “it is accomplished.” He then dies: “into Thy hands I commend my Spirit.”

At the moment of his death, nature itself overturns.

THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST - Christ's suffering

The movie THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST is one of the most well made films we have ever seen made in cinema history. I wonder sometimes how we waste our precious time watching other crap that does not make sense at all and along comes a film "In it's real sense" a very distinct and captivating film. Mel Gibson has correctly invested his time, energy and money into the making of this film and there is a message for all of us out there that what you see in the film is very much true, it's not fun when it comes to the life of Christ. This is not the time to raise a finger of criticism on the film instead put your hands together in praise of God's sacrifice of Love who is Jesus himself. For those of us who are Catholics we will understand well what the film exactly depicts and will believe, for those who doubt the existence of God himself, I'd say that the world is a whole new place when it comes to finding God but if you search for your answers between yourself and God I'm sure you will definitely find it. I support the film for the way it is made as for the criticisms raised on Mel Gibson and his life and thereby transferring the same on to the film, you would be better off keeping both issues apart from each other, it will make all the sense you need if you first see how much you can personally receive, then ask the questions!
