This is about as close as you will get to the passion of the Christ, without actually being there. Intensely and painfully moving, and a film made with meticulous attention to detail. It doesn't make easy watching though!
A must see film that will move you profoundly. Everyone knows the story but Mel Gibson brings it to life like never before. At the time of Christ the language spoken was Aramaic, thus for authenticity this is the subtitled language of the film. Beware that there is no holding back with the hell that Christ suffered, and watching it we feel the suffering with him. The heart breaking shots of the cross carrying and flashbacks to his childhood will stay with me forever. I salute you Mr Gibson.
The deeply moving film is hard to watch with the brutal and sickening scenes throughout. It’s incredible upsetting, especially when it flashes back to his childhood and left me in tears as to the suffering Jesus endured.
A powerful film!
