'The Passion of the Christ' --- the Angelina Jolie version

Rating: 5/10 (13 January 2015)

Maybe Angie should hook up with Mel? They both seem attracted to depicting deep human suffering on the screen. I can say, she didn't got the message from the critics of 'The Passion of the Christ'. Please allow me reiterate this message: no matter how hard the moments in someone's life have been, what is the reason to bring this violence on the screen? What does it help to prove/understand? Is public display of real life violence needed? The fact that someone went trough hell, is it a reason to publish it? Is it beneficial in any way? There, of course, might be other explanations for this movie. Someone wants to show us how to be resilient, or even how far the human nature can survive. Or even that no matter what, we have to forgive.
I believe a personal story of horror must remain personal in its intimate dimension of what an individual/group of individuals have suffered. Because such suffering has no meaning and no logic. The fact people went through and survived is all in their honor. But not a reason of publishing it.
Finally, I hope, just hope, Angelina is not trying to show us here how we should be resilient in life. Because if this was her intention, she must be one individual that is measuring things in an extreme way. Despite the fact the story of the movie is real, by no means this should be taken as an example of how to get through life. The story behind the movie is just too extreme.
On the other side, why doesn't the movie show that Louis went into alcohol and depression after the war, yet recovered and started preaching God and forgiveness while being able to completely and sincerely forgive the sadistic commandant? Now that's a human achievement Angelina should have presented in more detail in it's movie.
The same movie could have been made in a much softer way, without the atrocity in all of it's details. And could have had perhaps a better impact on the public.
