Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Iven S — 02 Jul 2012
This movie should have been called "the stations of the cross"... hmmm where to start?!... okay visually this movie was great on the eyes and no doubt Mel Gibson or his DP has a good eye for composition.
The cast looked great but in all honesty they didnt have much to do but look like they are in pain or sorrow. Jesus portrayed like all those renaissance paintings I guess pays homage to the early artists who visualized him first.
At least he wasn't blonde but I guess there is no pleasing people when it comes to the appearance of their lord. Caviezel is quite handsome and you get that nice romantic view of Jesus. I loved the fact that the movie was subtitled but I couldn't for the life of me get ride of the captions stating " MOODY MUSIC PLAYING NOW ".
... which drove me nuts!!... That being said I didn't get any passion of the christ, just all the PAIN!! ... still it was a good attempt. Hopefully any future renditions of the story of christ will have some soul in it, some hope, some lessons even.
. because in my opinion that is what the christ was all about.
