 | Seeing as this is required when reviewing this movie I'll get this out of the way. I have no religious beliefs. Now that that is out of the way on to my review.
When I first saw "The Passion of the Christ" I didn't like it. I felt it was too long and boring. The violence didn't bother me so much I just wanted it to end. I decided to give it another shot and this time I liked it a little bit better. So when it came out on DVD I decided to pick it up.
It is widely reported that Mel Gibson's original intent was show this movie without subtitles letting the image speak for itself. So I decided to watch it without subtitles. It is painfully obvious that this is how the film should be seen. "The Passion of the Christ" is not about the life of Jesus or the teachings of Jesus. It is about his death. In this case Passion meaning suffering. So when you take away the distraction of reading words on screen you focus on what you are seeing and the image becomes that much more powerful.
As said before this movie is only about The Passion. It is not about Jesus' life or teachings. Those looking for that story will find it in other films. The best probably being Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ" It does help to have a little background on the story.
With the aid (or distraction) of subtitles "The Passion of the Christ" is long, boring and preachy." Without them it is a visual experience like no other and the best movie about Jesus Christ ever.
The DVD comes in a bare bones release with no extra features. What it lacks in special features it more then makes up for them in the audio and visual department. This is reference quality material and a must buy for home theatre buffs. |
