Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Eric H — 31 Mar 2016
This was an accurate adaption. I thought that the subtitles were going to be distracting, but to my surprise they weren't. I actually enjoyed hearing the original languages. All of the additional dialogue reflected the original intent.
Although this movie was difficult to watch, I don't think that any moments were wasted. The flashbacks provided more than just a reprieve from the suffering. They revealed a man, not a pious wimp.
..as so many other films have. I especially enjoyed the scene between Jesus and Mary when she wants Him to wash His hands. As a theatrical piece, it was wonderfully crafted and well paced. The special affects were used sparingly, thank goodness.
