Co-written and directed by Mel Gibson, The Passion of the Christ (2004) is both extremely powerful and highly controversial. The graphic violence and brutal realism depicted in the 12 final hours in the life of Jesus Christ are strong images to grasp… from the betrayal, to the condemnation and bloody scourging, to the crucifixion and resurrection. True to the period, the dialogue is all in Latin and Aramaic with subtitles. The cinematography is superb, dramatic and vibrant. All debate aside, the film is a magnificent cinematic achievement worthy of praise. Jim Caviezel is great as Jesus. Monica Bellucci is radiant as Mary Magdalene.
