This is one of the hardest movies to watch of all time. I remember watching this for the first time in school right before Easter break and it really messed up quite a few people, people were in tears and rightfully so, it is a very powerful film. I really did love how the move would switch between things Jesus did before the events of the crucifixion and had it as a flashback, I thought it tied in another emotional layer to the film. One of the problems I had with the film was the inclusion of some of satans scenes, I didn’t mind he was there as like a bystander but there’s a few scenes with him that were just kind of weird like him with the baby and him shown after Jesus died. It was just a bit funky and took away from the movie a bit. The actor for Jesus did a phenomenal performance, even though he didn’t go through what Jesus went through, he did suffer in the role he played, like he got struck by lightning and actually whipped which left him with a huge scar not to mention getting pneumonia. I commend him and all the other actors for their performance in this film, they were all incredible. I’ll watch again next year on Easter.
