Review of The Passion of the Christ (2004) by Aaronh. — 16 Apr 2008
Watched it in a university class, and again at home with my family during Easter. Not my favorite Christian movie (that would be the 1950's "The Ten Commandments"), but does the job. Jesus's crucifixion (his name was never "Christ"), is stunningly portrayed and overlaid in a veneer of sorrow.
The hearts of the people rating the movie lower might just be Jesus himself quietly seeking their attention. And yet there were some things I did not like-the blood and gore, certainly-no real need for that much of it.
And really the movie had two stars, Caviezel (who's pretty good) and Gibson (barely so). Basically, you know what to do.
