Although Gibson was initially against it, the film is subtitled. The dialogue is entirely in reconstructed Aramaic, Hebrew, and Latin. 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. It stars Jim Caviezel as Jesus of Nazareth, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, mother of Jesus, and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene. The Passion of the Christ is a 2004 American epic biblical drama film produced, directed, and co-written by Mel Gibson.
