The Passion of the Mad Max

Last night I attended a screening of Mel Gibson's latest controversial motion picture, The Passion. I myself do not consider this film to be anti-semitic, but I can understand why the Jewish community fears this movie. The scene depicting the Jews demanding Jesus' crucifixion can be misinterpreted by some viewers.

Aside from that this is a very powerful film. A film that serves its purpose to provide an accurate account (according to the gospels) of the last twelve hours in Jesus life. Twelve hours that changed the world. Twelve hours that resulted in the horrible death of a great man. A man who lived to bring peace to this world. Regardless of whether you're religious or not this is a film that will touch your heart and put tears in your eyes.

RATING: 4 STARS

WARNING: This is not an easy film to digest, it is extremely graphic, so I don't recommend it to audiences who can't handle images of graphic natures.
