I understand that as a parent you want your children to feel closer to Christ, but that’s a lot of expectations you’re putting into a single film. If you haven’t watched it recently, I suggest re-watching it again with the critical eye of a parent, keeping your children in mind during the most intense scenes. This is the most violent film I have ever seen.” Just bear that in mind when deciding what you want your children to see. There is also the unsettling imagery of Satan and the demons that torment Judas before he hangs himself.įilm critic Roger Ebert stated, “he movie is 126 minutes long, and I would guess that at least 100 of those minutes, maybe more, are concerned specifically and graphically with the details of the torture and death of Jesus. Even as an adult, watching the scourging and crucifixion scenes can be hard to stomach.
My personal opinion is that the movie is incredibly powerful, graphic, and very disturbing in many parts. Mel Gibson’s Passion is a hotly debated movie with some criticizing the gratuitousness of the violence, calling it unnecessarily graphic, and others praising it for its realistic depiction of Christ’s suffering as a moving experience.
