There is exaggeration of the role of Mary the mother of Jesus in the movie.
#THE PASSION OF CHRIST MOVIE MOVIE#
In this scene Jesus is quoted saying to his apostles that “ I don’t want them to see me this way,” on the same scene as Jesus is led away bound in chains he falls and as he stands he come face to face with Judas his betrayer this is only in the movie but not in the bible. This scene may be in reference to what is in the book of Matthew 26 that “the chief priest and the entire Sanhedrin kept trying to obtain false testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death.”Īlso, in the movie but cannot be traced in the bible is the scene where the guards approached the place where Jesus and his disciples were. In the movie, there is a brief scene where money changes hands, which is trying to implicate that people received payment in order to bear false witness against Jesus.
#THE PASSION OF CHRIST MOVIE TRIAL#
This is the other difference between the movie’s version and the bible’s version of the trial of Jesus. Making of payments using money is evident in this movie but not indicated in the bible. This is in the movie but nowhere in the bible. Satan goes on instructing a snake to bite Jesus but Jesus crushes it using a stone. On the same scene, Satan tempts Jesus by asking him if he believes whether one man can bear the burden that was before him. However, there are major differences that stand out between movie and the bible version of the suffering or the last days of Christ.Īt the beginning of the movie, Satan is present at the time Jesus is praying. The movie passion of Christ is a good tool of conveying the endless love of Jesus to the modern generation. The message in these chapters clearly shows that it is due for his love for humankind that he endured the painful and humiliating death on the cross.
The message in this movie corresponds to the love of Jesus that is in Matthew 26:36-28:11. As one of the most powerful movie of our times, Mel Gibson’s movie passion of Christ provides the answer to the question as to why Jesus had to die on the cross. In addition, the dialogue in this movie did not deviate much from the context according to the gospel. Mel Gibson though a Roman Catholic does a wonderful job of combining the gospel into one story through this movie. This seems to astonish even the cruelest religious leaders, who wanted execution of Jesus without any further delay. At the last scenes, the blood characterizes the movie and literally, there is blood everywhere. In this movie, Mel Gibson portrays the Romans as sadists, evil and cruel. Most scenes on this movie are emotional and if emotional people watch this movie, they are bound to shed tears. This part is however important in the movie since it fulfils genesis 3 15 prophesy that is “and I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed, he shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.”įrom the point onward, the description of the movie is intense and dramatic whereby the dialogue is in Latin, Aramaic, and Hebrew since these were the popular language spoken at that time.Īlthough the passion of Christ focus and covers only the last twelve hours of Jesus life, any viewer watching this movie is able to get a complete and a clear picture of the life of Christ through the constant flashback that takes place in the movie.Īccording to the Christians who have read the gospel, the flash back presents a familiar story about the passion of Christ that is his love for humanity that led him to die for our sins and to die that painful death on the cross. The only difference of this movie scene and the bible is that the role played by Satan is exaggerated in that Satan’s role is longer than it is usually in the bible. On this scene, Satan appears and as it is in the bible Satan tempts Jesus but he emerges victorious. However, in the movie this takes place in the garden of Gethsemane. “Then was JESUS led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil” (Matthew 4:1) this was to be the beginning of suffering of Jesus according to the movie. The movie to some people is emotional but the best word that can fully describe this movie is ‘intense’, the movie is intense in all aspects from emotion, love to violence. Unlike all the other movies about the life and the suffering of Christ, this movie makes an unforgettable presentation. In all the movies about the sufferings of Jesus, that I have ever watched none of them captured my interest like the passion of Christ did.
