Gibson’s suffering Christ, straight from the Gr newald altarpiece, burns itself into the imagination, convincing you, with or without faith, that something extraordinary happened that evening on Golgotha. The Passion is a great work of art.

The Spectator.co.uk: “One of the two glimpses of Gibson in the movie is when you see his hand placing the stake on Christ’s palm thus underlining Gibson’s own guilt, which in Christian theology he shares with all mankind, for the death of Christ. “
