The Passion of the Christ is a Drama film that was released on DVD in the United States and it centers entirely on the final twelve hours of the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The story begins in the Garden of Gethsemane after Jesus has shared the Last Supper with his disciples where he goes apart to pray and faces the spiritual temptation of Satan in the wilderness. Judas Iscariot then betrays Jesus by identifying him to the chief priests and temple guards with a kiss which leads to his immediate arrest. Jesus is taken within the city walls of Jerusalem where he is brought before the Pharisees and the high priest Caiaphas who interrogate him and accuse him of blasphemy claiming he has declared himself the Son of God. The religious trial results in a condemnation to death and Jesus is then sent to Pontius Pilate the Roman prefect of Judea who questions him regarding his kingship and attempts to pass the responsibility to King Herod Antipas but ultimately sentences Jesus to be scourged and crucified. The film presents the physical ordeal in extreme graphic detail showing the brutal scourging the mocking by soldiers the placing of the crown of thorns the carrying of the cross along the Via Dolorosa and the crucifixion at Golgotha where Jesus dies and is buried. The movie is distinguished by its use of authentic languages including Aramaic Latin and Hebrew spoken throughout with English subtitles provided for the audience. Mel Gibson directed the film and Jim Caviezel portrays Jesus with Maia Morgenstern playing Mary the mother of Jesus and Monica Bellucci playing Mary Magdalene while Hristo Shopov plays Pontius Pilate and Francesco De Vito plays Judas. The production was noted for its controversial depiction of violence which sparked debate among religious groups critics and audiences but also contributed to its massive box office success earning over six hundred million dollars worldwide. The DVD release for the USA market includes the theatrical cut of the film and may feature supplemental content such as a making of documentary deleted scenes and audio commentary from the director.
