It depicts the Passion of Jesus largely according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. It also draws on pious accounts such as the Friday of Sorrows along with other devotional writings, such as those attributed to Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich.〔Father John O'Malley ''A Movie, a Mystic, a Spiritual Tradition'' ''America'', March 15, 2004 ()〕〔''Jesus and Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ'' by Kathleen E.

ISBN 1-59884-296-X. page 909.〕 The film covers primarily the final 12 hours of Jesus' life, beginning with the Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the insomnia and grievance of the Virgin Mary, but ending with a brief depiction of his resurrection. Flashbacks of Jesus as a child and as a young man with Mary his mother, giving the Sermon on the Mount, teaching the Twelve Apostles, and at the Last Supper are some of the images depicted. The film was shot in Italy, and the dialogue is entirely in reconstructed vernacular Hebrew and Latin with subtitles. The film has been controversial and received mixed reviews, with some critics claiming that the extreme violence in the film "obscures its message."〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Passion of the Christ Movie Reviews, Pictures – Rotten Tomatoes )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Passion of the Christ, The (2004): Reviews )〕〔 Catholic sources have questioned the authenticity of the non-biblical material upon which the film drew.〔〔 The film, however, was a major commercial hit, grossing in excess of $600 million during its theatrical release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=All Time Worldwide Box Office Grosses )〕 ''The Passion of the Christ'' is the highest grossing R-rated film in United States history, the highest grossing religious film,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Box Office Mojo )〕 and the highest grossing non-English-language film of all time. ==Plot== The film opens in Gethsemane as Jesus prays and is tempted by Satan, while his disciples Peter, James and John (James' brother) sleep. Satan appears in Jesus' form, and tempts him by saying, "It's not right for one man to die for their sins." After Jesus' sweat becomes like blood and drips to the ground, a snake comes out from Satan. Jesus hears his disciples calling him, then he steps on the snake's head, and the Devil disappears. After receiving thirty pieces of silver, Judas, another of Jesus' disciples, approaches with the temple guards and betrays Jesus with a kiss on the cheek. As the guards move in to arrest Jesus, Peter cuts off the ear of Malchus, a servant of the high priest Caiaphas, but Jesus heals the ear. As the disciples flee, the temple guards arrest Jesus and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin. John tells Mary and Mary Magdalene of the arrest while Peter follows Jesus at a distance. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some of the other priests, who are expelled from the court. When questioned by Caiaphas whether he is the Son of God, Jesus replies "I am". Caiaphas is horrified and tears his robes, and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Peter, who is secretly watching, is confronted three times and denies three times, but then runs away sobbing after remembering that Jesus had foretold that. Meanwhile, the remorseful Judas attempts to return the money to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Tormented by Demons, he flees the city and hangs himself upon a tree with a rope he finds on a dead donkey. Caiaphas brings Jesus before Pontius Pilate to be condemned to death, but after questioning Jesus and finding no fault in him, Pilate sends him instead to the court of Herod Antipas, as Jesus is from Herod Antipas' ruling town of Nazareth, Galilee. After Jesus is again found not guilty and returned, Pilate offers the crowd that he will chastise Jesus and then will set him free. He then attempts to have Jesus freed by giving the people an option of freeing Jesus or the violent criminal Barabbas. To his dismay, the crowd demands to have Barabbas freed and Jesus killed. In an attempt to appease the crowd, Pilate orders that he be punished, but not killed. Jesus is brutally scourged and mocked with a crown of thorns by his guards. However, Caiaphas, with the crowds backing, continues to demand that Jesus be crucified, and Barabbas released. Pilate washes his hands and reluctantly orders Jesus' crucifixion. As Jesus carries the cross along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, Veronica wipes Jesus' face with her veil. Simon of Cyrene is unwillingly pressed into carrying the cross with Jesus. Jesus is then crucified. As he hangs from the cross, Jesus prays forgiveness for those who did this to him and redeems a criminal crucified next to him. After Jesus gives up his spirit and dies, a single drop of rain falls from the sky, triggering an earthquake which destroys the Temple and rips the cloth covering the Holy of Holies in two, to the horror of Caiaphas and the other priests. Satan is then shown screaming in agonizing defeat. Jesus is taken down from the cross. In the end, Jesus rises from the dead and exits the tomb. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Passion of the Christ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
