Let's get the controversy out of the way right at the top. It is a devout act of worship from Mel and his collaborators. Others in the group are raving about the project - "The Passion is a stunning work of art. We don't need distracting translations flashing on the screen when the Roman soldiers are saying obvious things like, 'Hey, you, move!' Mel noted that they were going to eliminate some of the subtitles in future edits". The version I saw actually had too many subtitles. "I don't know if Mel was ever serious about not having any subtitles. Sources report that a Christian focus group has been invited to screen the film, but have found that in the film's current state there are too many subtitles: The Passion: According to The IMDB, Mel Gibson has decided to include English subtitles in the entirely in the Aramic language. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.A lot going on with the story of Jesus Christ. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father.
There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die.
Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd-assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. The crowd chooses to have Barrabas set free. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free-Jesus, or Barrabas. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees.
Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, for his sentencing. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus-who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God'-is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.
