Movie Review-- The Passion of the Christ


The Passion of the Christ

Genre: Drama

Summary: The Passion of the Christ

My grade: %93


Pros:
  • The vivid imposition on my mental picture bank of certain truths of my faith - the actual suffering that was only partially represented, the willingness of my Creator to suffer for me embracing His cross...
  • I really liked the original languages- Aramaic and Latin
  • The scenery, although Italian, was great
  • Very (thankfully) light on Catholic dogma
Cons:
  • All the extra demon/satan/spiritualized stuff- almost laughable, but for the actual reality of what's being personified
  • The extra Catholic stuff (albeit little)- the Shroud of Turin ? (not from the burial)
