A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. 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. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. 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.

A impressive movie. Powerful images, great emotion, original language. But his beauty is his important sin,too.
In Eastern Orthodox Church, the climax of Crist life is the Resurrection, not the Passion. The joy of Easter is more important to be only result of a savage pain. The Saviour is the Son of God but, the symbol of hope and love in same measure. He is not the Great Victim or the subject of exhibitionist exercise. The suffering of Jesus must be occasion of meditation,meekness and repentance not violent show.
So, for me, this film is a art gallery. Pictures by El Greco, Grunewald, Caravaggio or Michelangelo are pieces of a interesting exposition for to present the Roman Chatolic faith, sensitiveness, vision about Crist, in a massive way.
I don't believe in a propaganda gesture but, some words of important Rome's and Constantinople's clerics are arguments for the differences of vision not about a film, but about the Christianism reflexion in two Christian Churches.
The virtue of film- Maia Morgenstern acting. She is Mary in a same style who create not only emotion or admiration but a very subtle compassion.
The result- a strange film, fruit of Gibson's reflexion and faith, realistic, brutal, bloody but at a great distance of religious message statute. A slice of Roman history but, for a part of Christianity, not a story about Jesus.
