	The Passion of the Christ - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Passion of the Christ (2004) is a film about the last twelve hours of the life of Jesus Christ, known to Christians as "the Passion".
		Gibson, a fringe Catholic who is building his own church in the Los Angeles area and who apparently accepts neither the teachings of Vatican II nor modern biblical scholarship, The Passion of the Christ retains a real potential for undermining the repudiation of classical Christian anti-Semitism by the churches in the last 40 years.
		From the evidence of "The Passion of the Christ," however, what he seems to love as much is the cinematic depiction of flayed, severed, swollen, scarred flesh and rivulets of spilled blood, the crack of bashed bones and the groans of someone enduring the ultimate physical agony.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - The Passion of the Christ
		While it is the film's assertion that responsibility for Christ's torture and death rests squarely with the Roman authorities, and away from the collective Jewish populace, the movie presents a historically skewed depiction of the Temple elite's sway with their imperial overlords.
		Rather it is a composite of the Passion narratives in the four Gospels embroidered with non-scriptural traditions as well as the imaginative inspiration of the filmmaker.
		But for Christians, "The Passion of the Christ" is likely to arouse not only passionate opinions, but hopefully a deeper understanding of the drama of salvation and the magnitude of God's love and forgiveness.

		The Passion of Christ in the Four Gospels
		They include the washing of Pilate's hands, the dream of Pilate's wife, and the resurrection of the saints after the death of Christ, with the earthquake and the rending of the tombs.
		There seems at first sight a discrepancy between the narrative of the Fourth Gospel and that of the Synoptists, namely, as to the exact day of the crucifixion, which involves the question whether the Last Supper was or was not, in the strict sense, the Paschal meal.

	Passion of the Christ, The (2004): Reviews
		Still, The Passion of the Christ is something of a masterpiece, terrible to behold, unfit for children, certainly, but very much the work of a director in the throes of his own distinct passion.
		The Passion of the Christ should have left audiences in a state of exaltation.
		To appreciate "Passion of the Christ" many must lay aside views as to the truth of this story as well as the avalanch of hype that surrounded it's director, Mel Gibson.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Passion of Christ
		The shock to Pagan feeling, caused by the ignominy of Christ's Passion and the seeming incompatibility of the Divine nature with a felon's death, seems not to have been without its effect upon the thought of Christians themselves.
		In spite of all this it would be rash to infer that the Passion was not a favourite subject of contemplation for Christian ascetics.
		The more or less dramatic recital of the Passion by three deacons representing the "Chronista", "Christus", and "Synagoga", in the Office of Holy Week probably originated at the same period, and not many centuries later we begin to find the narratives of the Passion in the Four Evangelists copied separately into books of devotion.

	"The Passion of the Christ" / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		However, classic-style Passion films probably wouldn’t have the same effect on today’s audiences that they did on those of 50 years ago, because techniques of extreme graphic violence have been used in films of all types, from war movies with a message of self-sacrifice to ridiculous horror and horror-comedy flicks.
		Christ is preached, and we should therefore rejoice and be thankful that millions have been graphically reminded of the cross of Calvary in a way they will never forget.
		Christ did not die by the hands of man. Christ died, and subsequently rose again, as a part of God’s plan.

	BBC - Films - The Passion Of The Christ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Powerful, brutal and as subtle as a smack in the face, The Passion Of The Christ may be the most relentless horror film since The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
		It is Jesus Christ: Splatterstar, with seemingly endless slow-motion shots of Jesus falling under the weight of his cross, or being beaten bloody and whipped raw by Roman soldiers.
		The simplification is especially irritating given the time spent on unnecessary additions to the biblical story, including scenes of Judas being tormented by demonic children; an androgynous Satan tempting Christ; a raven pecking out the eye of a thief dying beside him.

	Movie Review: The Passion of the Christ
		For example, she claimed that Christ “quivered and writhed like a poor worm” and that He “cried in a suppressed voice, and a clear, sweet-sounding wailing” as He was being beaten.
		This emphasis on Christ’s physical agony is repeated in Roman Catholic devotional material, prayers, and, of course, in The Passion of the Christ.
		Christ is depicted as falling at three points, but otherwise the carrying of the cross is presented as a solemn event.

	Mel Gibson The Passion of the Christ Movie Review
		Mel Gibson's movie, "The Passion of The Christ" can serve the holiest cause that the world has ever known, or serve the most wicked.
		It will serve the cause of Christ if the reaction of the viewer is to seek the face of God to become a more devoted servant of Christ Jesus.
		If people choose Christ, they will receive the new birth (the baptism of the holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues) as a reward now, and if their works continue to please God, they will receive the reward of eternal salvation in the end.

	MovieCritic.ca - Review - The Passion of the Christ (2004) - It's shocking. It's extreme. But what's the point?
		For those who don't know, The Passion of the Christ is a portrayal of the last hours of Jesus of Nazareth, from his capture to his crucifixion (by the way, I don't consider any of this information to be a "spoiler").
		Despite these major shortcomings, The Passion of the Christ is still an interesting film in some aspects.
		Overall, The Passion of the Christ is a mildly interesting film, but I doubt it will stand the test of time.

		The Passion of the Christ focuses on the last twelve hours of Jesus of Nazareth's life.
		I often compare "The Passion" to "Saving Private Ryan." That film and its chilling brutality were both an awe-stricken acknowledgement of the sacrifice of the veterans of World War II and a visceral repellant against war itself.
		If Christ's was not the ultimate example of nonviolent conviction, I don't know what is. As the Son of God, He could have struck His executioners dead at any point along the way.
