Film Analysis: The Passion Of The Christ
The Passion of the Christ, How it deviates from Scripture The Passion of the Christ is a movie based upon the last hours of Jesus' life. Though not all of what is potrayed in the movie is historically correct according to scripture. This set their central theme on the torture and crucifixion. The central theme of the four gospels is salvation and how Jesus taught, the intent of the movie deviates from scripture. The first devation of the Scripture compared to the movie is that Jesus is shown to be afraid. In the movie Jesus prays in the garden of Gethsemane " Father, you can do all things. If it is possible let this chalice pass from me... But let your will be done, not mine. Hear my Father... rise up, defend me...save me from the traps

    The Passion of the Christ directed by Mel Gibson depicts the final twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem.

It was designed to bring to life the vivid nature and magnitude of Jesus’s sacrifice, although theologically it was quite accurate, it does contain some historical discrepancies. This movie was accurate in its cinematic portrayal of the attitude and actions of Pilate, the Jewish hierarchy, the Jewish laws, and Jesus’s sacrifice. Almost all of the characters in this movie are theologically accurate, like the Jesus of Nazareth, His Mother Mary, His Apostles, Mary Magdalene, Pilate and his wife and etc.,…

    Watching the movie Indiana Jones The Raiders of the Lost Ark was great to feel like you're there. And you can tell there a relationship between Jones and Marion because they seem to have already met and have a past relationship and to pick up back where they left off and helping with that happening in the movie helped me find the theme of the movie i’m not gonna lie was very difficult but I found a couple of possible themes one theme I picked was action.

    more about the public image that they worried about. To make profit, the people being put on display have to look attractive enough to guarantee their movie sells. At 13 years old, however, Judy signed over to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer as one of their few child stars and they didn’t know what to do with her. In fact, MGM was in a similar predicament with another child star around Judy’s age, Deanna Durbin, who had an exceptional voice, albeit more operatic. The studio even filmed the two girls in the musical short titled Every Sunday in 1936 as a “screen test” to help decide which one of the girls they wanted to keep by comparing their voices side by side to an audience (Clarke, 73). According to Judy in a Jack Parr interview, they were…

His followers were determined to take these lessons to heart for the rest of their lives. Although there were many differences between the Gospels of Luke and Matthew, they did have a few similarities about Jesus. For example, Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem; he was also considered to be a son of David. All in all, each Gospel has their own unique way of telling Jesus’s Parables. Each short story illustrates what man can do, to maintain a healthy relationship with God; and in general, just what it means to be a good person at heart.…
