Hollywoodreporter Interesting article about The Passion of Christ which I saw last night. What an amazing movie. Extremely moving account of Jesus last 12 hours. How can anyone complain about this movie is beyond understanding. Only a deliberate desire to see bad in the great good of the film could bring out the sorts of critiques we have seen these last 12 months. To see Jesus beg forgiveness for those who persecute him is to watch the best refutation of those monsters who accused the Jews of murdering Him. The movie makes it very clear that Jesus came to us to die for our sins and that nothing of this earth could save him. Only his father could allow the Chalice to pass from him.
To say that only Jews play the evil parts in the Passion Play is to miss the sadistic glee the Romans take in torturing him. Anyone claiming this must have also missed several other parts, in the beginning when a group of the Pharasies walked out of the abomination of a trial protesting that it was wrong, or they missed when the overwhelming number of people cried to see him walk the path to Golgotha. No this was no condemnation of the Jews or the Romans, the guilt lays on us all.
This film also serves another purpose. You cannot but be impressed by the contrast of the religion of Jesus compared to the beliefs of those monsters who are attacking us.
