My wife and I will be going to a screen­ing of <a href=“http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0335345/ title=“Passion of the Christ”>Passion of the Christ this Sat­ur­day. Despite the con­tro­versy stem­ming from the reported anti-semitism the movie itself looks like an intense piece of cin­e­matic history.

The film depicts the last 12 hours of Jesus Christ’s life which por­trays the cap­ture, tor­ture and cru­ci­fic­tion. Reports indi­cate that Gib­son chose this par­tic­u­lar time frame in order to focus atten­tion on the sac­ri­fice and early screen­ings and pre­views state that Gibson’s inten­tions have been successful.

Chicago-Sun Times critic, Roger Ebert describes Pas­sion as “the most vio­lent film I have ever seen.” He also con­cludes that this is a film you will either love or hate and pre­sum­ably form your own inter­pre­ta­tion of whether the expe­ri­ence was worth the viewing.
