Movies Quiz: The Passion | 10 Questions

Answer: James Caviezel

James Caviezel was born in 1968 in Mount Vernon, Washington. James portrayed the character Warren Earp back in the 1994 movie, "Wyatt Earp". This was one of his earlier roles. James went on to portray the character of Jerry in the movie "Pay It Forward" with Kevin Spacey and Helen Hunt.
I personally think that James will most undoubtedly be remembered for his role as Jesus though.

Answer: Luca Lionello

Because of the betrayal of Judas Iscariot, Jesus was arrested in the garden of Gethsemane. Judas couldn't live with the fact that he betrayed Jesus and took his own life by hanging himself.

Answer: yes

James Caviezel admitted to being struck by lightning at least twice during the filming, once during the crucifixion scene. James looked up and said to God, "What, you didn't like that take?"

Answer: yes

The scene was during the flashback in the movie. Jesus washed the disciple's feet and held the Last Supper with the disciples also. "Washing of feet" brings to mind a certain type of humility.

Answer: Mary Magdalene

Monica was born in Italy back in 1964. She played the role of Magdalene so beautifully and so touchingly. Monica is not new to the acting field. She plays the role of Persephone in "The Matrix Reloaded". I thought it was unique that Monica has also portrayed Dracula's bride in the 1992 movie "Dracula".

Answer: yes

Maia Morgenstern played the role of Jesus' mother with perfection. The tears streaming down her cheeks when they were beating her son were life-like. This is one moment that I hope I never have to live to experience, seeing your child whipped and flogged.

Answer: Hands

Mel Gibson has mentioned that Jesus had died on the cross for our sins, all of ours, including his. Through this, Mel wanted to be the one to put the nails in Jesus' palms, due to his sins (all of our sins).

I have heard that Mel also has other parts of his body in the movie, feet and legs, but his face and hair were not in the movie.

Answer: Satan

Satan was around quite often in this movie. From the very beginning with the snake, to the very end, where he lost the battle. He lost the battle since Jesus did die on the cross for our sins. There was one spot where Satan was carrying this baby. I didn't understand the meaning of this. I've heard conflicting stories that Jesus was the son of God, possibly that this was Satan's child and that he loved his child.

He would never submit his son to torture.

Answer: 3

Francesco played the role of Peter. Jesus mentioned at The Last Supper that Peter would deny him three times before the rooster crowed. Francesco De Vito, Hristo Shopov and James Caviezel all appear in the movie "I Am David".

Answer: Yes

Yes, Pilate did not want to kill or judge Jesus. He then turns over matters to Herod to place judgment. Herod was so excited to see Jesus. Herod wanted only to see a miracle. When Jesus would not "perform" for him, he sent Jesus back to Pilate.

This movie was extremely moving, in my opinion. I re-read the books, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the Bible after watching the movie. The words were very close to what the Bible tells us. I know that this was only "a movie," but it was still a very graphic movie. I can only describe this movie as nothing short of disgusting and gruesome, in the events that Christ had to live through.
Please bear in mind that I for one am very content that I saw the movie and would recommend that each and every Christian watch this movie with an open mind. I would never ever view this movie again. It was a one-time occasion and will not happen again.
To the Christians that are taking this quiz: Christ died on the cross for our sins, so that we may enter the gates of Heaven, and I thank him each and every day for this major sacrifice.
To the Atheist that are taking this quiz: Remember that Hollywood creates movies on all events.
To the Jewish people: If you believe that the Messiah has not yet come to visit us, imagine what will happen in the days where he does come to see us. If Christ was tortured, as a Prophet, could the Messiah be tortured more?

Again, I am only giving my views. Remember that we are each our own person and we all have different views. Life would be completely boring and bland if we all felt the same way on issues.
