The film depicts the last hours of the life of Jesus (James Caviezel), which matches their passion and death.
There are two reasons that, in my view, the controversial Mel Gibson made an interesting filmmaker: his taste for historical film and its undoubted ability to tell stories. Since neither one thing nor the other, are too frequent in the current film decadent. However, their proposals are often burdened by a double contradiction that has not yet been able to overcome, and that is greatly accentuated in this tape: the plastic beauty of his films in contrast to their violent content, and the alleged originality and hyperrealism them, at odds with Hollywood cliches and stereotypes to adhere normally.
The Passion of Christ film is a spectacular and bloody to the extreme. Might work as a treatise on pain and physical suffering, but fails miserably in its alleged quest for spirituality. One is not moved to their raw images, but is horrified face torture and constant beatings, which is under your main character for almost the whole of the two hours it takes the movie. The script tiptoes through the teachings of Jesus, raised in brief flashbacks, and focuses on the endless ordeal. Gibson is committed to the religion of torture versus the love, offering a vision of the Christ figure appears to go back to the Dark Ages.
If the tape is questionable in their background, just be blamed for the impeccable way, which is enhanced by an extraordinary photography Caleb Deschanel tenebrism referring to Caravaggio. Gibson makes a splendid work of management, applying to his framing the exaggerated and grotesque compositions of the German painter Matthias Grünewald, with which manages to create images of great visual power. In addition, gives the tale of a proper narrative rhythm, as is usual in all his works.
are also quite remarkable art direction, that takes us in a very realistic in the first century Judea, and the soundtrack by John Debney.
Jim Caviezel
shows inspired by his pained performance, while the rest of the cast, consisting of unknown actors with the exception of Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene, fulfilled in their work.
cinematically significant and ethically dubious, so The Passion Of The Christ , a film revered and hated in equal measure. Particularly, I consider that neither the one nor the other, as Aristotle said that the compromise between two extremes is the accurate measurement of things.
Rating: Good .
