Jesus heals Malchus' injury while reprimanding Peter.
As the guards arrest Jesus, a fight erupts wherein Peter draws his dagger and slashes the ear of Malchus, the commander of the guards. Later on, Judas Iscariot, Jesus' disciple who has been bribed by Caiaphas and the Pharisees with thirty pieces of silver, leads a group of temple guards to the forest and betrays Jesus' identity. Jesus then rebukes Satan by crushing the serpent's head. Satan soon appears and tempts Jesus as his sweat suddenly turns into blood and a serpent emerges from Satan's guise. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays with his disciples Peter, James, and John beside him. A sequel centered around the resurrection of Jesus is in development. It received three nominations at the 77th Academy Awards in 2005, for Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, and Best Original Score. It is the highest-grossing (inflation unadjusted) Christian film and independent film of all time.
The film grossed over $612 million worldwide and became the fifth highest-grossing film of 2004 internationally at the end of its theatrical run. The film was controversial and received polarized reviews, with some critics calling the film a religious and holy experience, praising the performances of the cast, production values, and John Debney’s musical score, while others found it anti-semitic and criticized the violence as extreme. Although Gibson was initially against it, the film is subtitled. The dialogue is entirely in Hebrew, Latin, and reconstructed Aramaic.
However, the film also depicts flashbacks to particular moments in Jesus's life, some of which are biblically based, such as The Last Supper and The Sermon on the Mount, and others that are artistic license, as when Mary comforts Jesus and when Jesus crafts a table. It begins with the Agony in the Garden of Olives (i.e., Gethsemane), continues with the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, the brutal Scourging at the Pillar, the suffering of Mary as prophesied by Simeon, the crucifixion and death of Jesus, and ends with a brief depiction of his resurrection. Īs per the title, the film primarily covers the final 12 hours before Jesus Christ's death, known as "the Passion". It also draws on pious accounts such as the Friday of Sorrows, along with other devotional writings, such as the reputed visions attributed to Anne Catherine Emmerich. It depicts the Passion of Jesus largely according to the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Passion of the Christ is a 2004 American epic biblical drama film produced, directed and co-written by Mel Gibson and starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, mother of Jesus, and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene.
