Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Dann M — 20 Apr 2014
Mel Gibson delivers a raw and uncompromising vision of the Crucifixion in The Passion of the Christ that takes it out of mythology and makes it an experience that cannot be forgotten. The film forces the audience to go through the suffering and death of Jesus of Nazareth on a visceral level unlike anything that has been done before.
It's extraordinarily emotionally draining, drawing the audience in so as to feel every whiplash and every nail of the cross. The imagery is haunting and is assisted by the use of the Aramaic language to create a completely immersive experience that transcends film.
The Passion of the Christ isn't entertainment, not by any stretch of the imagination, but instead acts as a Rorschach test that challenges the audience.
