MOVIES: Passion of the Christ - James Caveziel

An amazing movie, painful, sad, cruel to the soul and yet, still amazing. James Caveziel plays Jesus, The Christ. This film shows us his last days, while he was tortured by romans, tortured in the worst and most inhuman ways.
And it also shows us how he remembers his friends, his family, those who balieved in him. It shows us the Devil trying to tempt him out of his way, and how he, Jesus, remained loyal to his Father.
It also shows Mary's pain, as a mother, watching his son suffer in such terrible ways, watching this tragedy without being able to do something to help him. But how she got strength from a place only mothers no, and remained as close to him as she possibly could, suffering his pain in her own flesh, begging to die for and with him.
James Caveziel's work in this movie is amazing, the perfection with which he transmits the pain, the faith and the wholehearted love he had for human kind.
How Jesus forgave the little humanity left in those romans who beat him up and spit on him, not only torturing him but denigrating him, is incredibly well transmitted, it's a movie about hope, love and faith, not religion.

My rating? *****
Ages? 16 and up (I don't think a child could ever understand or get over the worst torture scenes)
