5.0 out of 5 stars
"unforgetting",
By Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Passion: Photography from the Movie The Passion of the Christ (Hardcover)
Mel Gibson states in his lovely forward to this book that the "word which best defines" what guided him, as well as others involved in the production of this brilliant film, was "aletheia", Greek for what would translate as "unforgetting". With this book we can remember this magnificent film, and the impact it has had on our lives.The outline of the film, portions of the script (by Gibson and Benedict Fitzgerald), as well as the Biblical references to each scene, are alongside still photographs taken during the filming by Ken Duncan and Philippe Antonello. Jim Caviezel is in my opinion the most perfect depiction of Jesus on film, physically strong enough to be a first century carpenter, and with a face that reminds me of Masaccio's Lord.

A Beautiful Book,
By
This review is from: The Passion: Photography from the Movie The Passion of the Christ (Hardcover)
The book was beautifully laid out with fantastic photos of the filming of The Passion Of The Christ. Each page has Aramaic and Latin with the English translation. It is very moving just by looking at the photos and I felt very moved by just looking at this book.

The Passion Of Christ,
This review is from: The Passion: Photography from the Movie The Passion of the Christ (Hardcover)
Having visited the official and unofficial websites, I went on to do further Google Search Engine checks which led me to comparison websites geared to the UK. I had tried Amazon using the ISBN number 0-8423-7362-4 as supplied by the other sites and then did further search engine checks and tried again with just the numbers 0842373624. That led me here and so I found The Passion book available at last. While many book sites exist, I feel that Amazon will prove itself yet again, especially now I know a bit more about search and find techniques. I have been a Christian poet for many years and wondered if there would ever be a realistic film about Jesus. If so, it would certainly be bloody. Now that there's a book available with over 150 pictures, maybe we can at least get some idea of how the storyline is portrayed. I wrote a poem called The Passion Of Christ about the film and recently read details of it in the Sunday Express. I wrote a new poem called The Courage Of Christ. The first has been accepted for publication and I'll send the latest one off to Forward Press Publishers for consideration. Each one of us can get motivated by sources of inspiration, yet for Christians the controvery of this film changes everything. Family viewing is limited. You literally have to fight against the screen violence of many films yet this stands apart. It's based on recorded events. It's not dramatised by the Gospel writers. They lived in a culture that was surrounded by crosses. We see sculptured figures of Christ upon wooden or metal crosses. They aren't suffering because they aren't flesh and blood. The real Jesus was crucified under Pontius Pilate according to the Creed. Six hours are a long time, but in those days it went on for days. This crucifixion was brought to an abrupt end. It isn't like the Jesus of Nazareth made-for-tv version. That lasted about six hours. The Passion of Christ is a twelve-hour journey into the twilight zone. A time of vicious bloodthirsty violence that Romans inflicted to instil fear. Jesus endured to the end. He simply had to. He died for you. He died for me. He died to Himself in order to live for God. So whatever the Romans inflicted they couldn't touch the purity of His eternal soul. That's what makes it honourable, horrific yet honourable... When Christ rose from the dead, that made it clear that God regarded Him as perfect in His sight. It meant He could forgive us, even the most vicious among us. Even those whom Jesus prayed for, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do...' If God is willing to forgive them, then surely He is willing to forgive us our sins and our trespasses. It is truly the greatest story ever told...
