Mel Gibson's Passion - Primetime Live interview with Diane Sawyer - 2004

- Diane Sawyer interviews Mel Gibson about The Passion of the Christ in 2004. Sawyer's husband was Mike Nichols, the overrated Jewish director who made lots of crap movies. I'm sure this Jewish family link colored her coverage big time. The media is controlled by people who are obscenely pro-Jewish, and they hire accordingly. The dingbat Sawyer squints in bewilderment at Gibson explaining basic Christian teaching. Lightweight "interfaith scholars" like Dr. Amy-Jill Levine (Jewish), pro-Israel Dr. Darrell Bock, and Nostra Aetate enthusiast Dr. Phillip Cunningham lie about Christian teaching on the Jews, claiming that the curse on the Jews no longer exists. This is a lie. A Jew is cursed so long as he remains a Jew. To remove the curse necessitates sincere conversion to Christianity. The former priest John Dominic Crossan whines about the extreme brutality of the movie. And the criminal Abraham Foxman appears to spread his usual BS, as if he has any moral authority. Not one real Christian was called upon to testify to the biblical accuracy of Gibson's movie. Even with a stacked deck against him, and the inanity of Diane Sawyer, Gibson does quite well. The Passion of the Christ was not a controversial movie. "Controversial" suggests that people are divided about something roughly 50/50. Only a small percentage of people were bothered by the movie. But this small group is the de facto ruling elite and they detest authentic Christianity, for they know that it represents a counter-establishment that has the potential to unseat them.
Mel: "They don't really have a problem with me, they have a problem with the four gospels" I totally agree. 💯👍
💯 ❤❤❤❤❤GOD BLESS YOU! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless ❤️
People are scared and unable to open their mind to what they think they know? Because of fear🤔🙏
I believe nomatter what! Even in all my mistakes and all my sins I know im here for a purpose and in my plain life i make a difference to GOD who put me here🙏
@@leellenerturk6103 Fear of the truth. This is why we open our hearts first, then the mind follows.
God bless Mel Gibson for standing his ground on his faith.
He's arguably my favorite. Because he's anti-semetic.
He KNOWS.
And for not backing down about him standing w/ his own father too, as well as his Heavenly Father.
@@deviantic69god WHY do always have to go there? These holy wars are tiresome.
Amen! God bless Mel Gibson and use him to usher in the Kingdom!

The way Mel side steps around Diane's clear attempts to corner him is a master class in being interviewed.
Yes, it is a masterclass - a masterclass in moral and intellectual dishonesty. It's just a sneaky evasion, and not even a clever one. When she asks him about if he thinks 'the Jews killed Jesus', he awkwardly contorts language every which way into not saying that even though that's clearly the barely hidden subtext. He just wanted to prevent headlines saying 'Mel Gibson says the Jews killed Jesus.'
Yes it is
They were standard … questions… but the hitler attendance at the play was a very very clever sly question! He really has the best Answer

Was thinking the same thing
I remember watching this movie as atheist. There was something disturbing in my soul watching that film, as if I was one of the people who were responsible for Jesus's death. Years later I knelt down in front of the cross and thank God for what he did. Yes, the film is extremely disturbing, because the consequence of our sin is extremely disturbing. Thank God for allow this film to happen.
Ah, the oldest trick in the book :)
"I used to be an atheist but then..."
It's like saying: "I used to be a resonable person, and this is what I have arrived to."
@@bobgoran To believe all of what you see came from happen stance, all from random variables is a greater absurdity than to accept that there is a creator, I was agnostic for the past 12 years and thus I have never called myself atheist because I've always been aware of the absurdity of doing so. If you are as reasonable as you claim, simply delve into quantum mechanics, and compare what you learn there to how computers work, our universe is built in a binary code just like you see in computational devices, every particle exists in fluctuation between 0 and 1. The realm that you see right now I tell you with certainty is not fundamental reality, as someone who has spent a greater percentage of my life than almost anybody learning with an unquenchable thirst for scientific truths on quantum physics and the nature of our reality. If you really do delve into this, and have a mind capable of understanding, I assure you you will not remain atheist. It took me just a few months after realizing God definitely exists for me to be awoken to the truth of our reality, which is that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is the Almighty Creator and Jesus Christ is the Messiah and son of God, though the latter realization came from a miracle, and not from reason.

How is Mel called “anti-Semitic” for showing the Gospel? These people really hate the truth!
I think you have to put out on context with the other wackjob antisemitic shit that he’s said
Yes very true! Just like Christ was hated because He spoke the truth!
lol if only you knew how bad things truly are
@@biggucciboombastic7976 based
Because Jesus was a Jew and persecuted by other Jews. Many Christians like to ignore the fact Jesus was a Jew though.
So impressed by how Mel Gibson handled Diane Sawyer’s questions and comments throughout the interview.
The Holy Spirit helped him for sure. Jesus promised that He would put the words in our mouths when we will be persecuted and interrogated because of Him.

One of the greatest films ever created.
And Mel Gibson you did an excellent job on the devil to God be with you on that too and you're going forward
Haha are you serious?
@@billy9497able I guess you haven’t seen it. I am not religious. It is just a brilliant film. Very powerful.
@@cforte0423 me either. I’ve seen it several times. It’s a borderline snuff film. There is antisemitism throughout the movie. Gibson is an antisemite himself.
@@billy9497able LOL, Ok.
This movie was the hardest thing I've ever sat through, it felt so real like it was happening right in front of all of us, the tears wouldn't stop!! Mel Gibson created a masterpiece!!!
I put off watching this movie for over a year after it was released because I knew it would bring out emotions that I could not control. Eventually, I watched it alone and never cried so hard in my life. I had to turn away many, many times because I felt such anger and pain. Even when I went to bed that night, I couldn't get the images out of my head and the tears came again. I'll never watch it again.
@@nojustno1216 why not? Yes, it was so painful to watch, so raw. But it has happened, Good Friday. Because God died for us. For me, you, each person. We need that reminder.
@@boem3021
Yes, I realized it happened. But I don't need to visually and repeatedly see my Saviour tortured and crucified to continue to follow him.
@@nojustno1216 perhaps you needed only one time to see it to prevent you from falling into sin. I need that remainder at least once in a while because I'm a weak sinner.
@@boem3021
Bro, you're reading into what I said way too deep. I've been a follower of Christ long before this movie came out. I just posted thoughts that pertained to me specifically in how it affected me. I'll just leave it at that.
Mel was born to make this movie. I don't think anyone would've done a better job portraying the crucification.
True, personally my life changed watching this movie exactly the situation i was facing at that time and i needed Jesus to save my life and yes he indeed saved me from death. Glory to God almighty Jesus
i fully agree!
@@fatimarahul7577AMEN!
_"If you wish to know _*_WHO_*_ Controls You, Look To Those Whom You Are _*_Not Allowed_*_ To _*_Criticize."_*
Correct
Mel Gibson should’ve gotten a best director for this one, it’s one of the most realistic most visceral experiences ever in film
It's Satan's show,the awards "$how"
It's still the most "raw" movie I've ever seen, in the best way possible.
Those pretend Christians that criticize the movie for its brutality DON’T UNDERSTAND THE SACRIFICE OF LOVE!
al meggs
Absolutely! REAL love was written in blood that day.
I’m agnostic and It was a great film
Jim caviezel said that during the scourging scene people turned their heads not because it was to hard to see but because they couldn't face their sins.
Gayle Todd also the jewish people remember that it was the crowd that was also yelling to crucify Jesus not just the jewish leaders.
Hopefully u see beyond the nails, and focus on the truth that Christ took on the sins of the world, every sin that would be committed in the future, every sin of the past, even rejected for a time by the Father. The brutality is not what God wants us to focus on.....is that what saves us, is it the cross that saves us? No it’s Christ.
People don't like the violence and how brutal the movie is but in reality thats probably exactly how it was.
In reality happened worse things.
Jesus Christ suffered more than in the movie.
Amen
Unfortunately people can't even see the movie because of the violence but Jesus lived these things in real.
God with us
im watching it now again, it hurts so much to see him suffering like that. Great movie
I just can't wait for him make the next one tbh, it's gonna be amazing
@@carsonparmelee280 Google 194 Bible contradictions.
I am a Catholic and in the 57 years I'm alive I have never heard a priest explain my religion better than Mell Gibson
In my town lived a franciscan priest for 30 years... The best priest I've ever met or heard. Nobody aproached the Gospel like he did and nobody cared about every single soul so deeply like that man... He was like a living saint. I agree with you, there are not many who preach with such strong faith and not many of them are brave to live the christian life to the fullest.
You know he’s a drunk and an anti semite don’t you?
Yesss Exactly 👍
I was catholic, it's full of lies n very misleading. Praying to Mary, kneeling to statues, going to priests asking for forgiveness,just to name a few...no,not for me!! My eyes are open!
Honestly you should try reading the bible from cover to cover, I dont mean to be rude but your church fathers made all the bibles in latin so the average person couldn't read them, they took a monopoly on religion and jesus and they continue doing it to this day. You have a rich history with a lot of good and bad, read the entire bible from cover to cover, genesis to revelations. I think you will be blessed in doing so and you will see a lot of what the catholic church is doing is good and some unbiblical. I am sure you can read and write, many people have died and been tortured to get us the holy scriptures, go and read my man, go and read. I would love to talk to you again and see what you think after your journey. Alas most people just cant be bothered, I for one could and I read it in its entirety. LOL so much thats in there is not talked about
"notice how they didn't call me a liar?" -Mel
"Once again, Diana Sawyer." And Mel calmly, quietly wiping the floor with Diane Sawyer. He is a great interviewee.
I don't see that. I see an excellent interviewer and an excellent interviewee resulting in an interesting compelling interview. The interview would not nearly be as interesting if Diane lobbed adoring softballs at Mel. Tough questions, and pressing that's what results in revelation.
He is an incredibly intelligent, articulate and faithful man. God bless Mel Gibson for his work 🙏❤️⭐️
The spiritual attack against Mel Gibson because he made this film is palpable to me even through my screen.
The fact he was an anti semitic prick and a drunk, I’m sure, was neither here nor there.
When she brought up his father, and he sternly replied, "Gotta leave it alone, Diane." I don't blame Mel. She had no business going there.
I cried today. Watching it with my 30 year old daughter. Tk u mel Gibson. Jesus is risen
This is a man that walks the walk and talks the talk, a rare bird. Brilliant man...much respect 🙌
He walks the walk and talks the talk? How' so ? When he is calling the mother of his children every filthy word possible or threatening to bang her upside the head with a baseball bat or when he's pulled over drunk, driving and calling cops racist names, or when he used the N-word in relation to his ex being raped??
@@southphillylilly I'm sorry you feel that way, enjoy your day I know I certainly will ~God Bless
@@southphillylillythat's why he believes in Jesus because he's a sinner like everyone and Jesus forgives a repentant heart
This is apparently the fist day Dianne ever heard of Christianity.
She is doing a good job, she is asking, so that he answers, explains.
She's trying to get an explanation for her viewers. Difficult to get a full picture of Christianity when your sources are a Hollywood director, a rabbi, and the director of the ADL.Want to understand our government? Don't bother to read the Constitution or the Federalist Papers, just ask Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi and Xi Jinping.
It seems like it

Today is Good Friday and watched Mel's movie the Passion. I cry especially the scourging and the crucifixion. Truly the Holy Spirit has guided Mel on this film.❤
i feel exactly the same way. i cry every time. this movie is the best.
I hope his movie “The Resurrection” comes out soon.
Me too..we've been waiting for a minute. A release date has been assigned on IMDB for 2025, though I don't know how accurate that is.
"Read the Gospels Diane."
Can't get anymore honest than that. Especially in a time like this, we all should listen to that advice. It doesn't matter if you're a believer or not..if given the chance, the Bible can speak to anyone and answer anyone's question. 🙏🏻❤
I'm obviously a Christian..but I encourage everyone: Give the Bible a chance some time. Consider giving Jesus a chance. Because when you truly open up your heart to that kind of faith and humility, and you're willing to just listen..it's totally worth it. 🙏🏻❤
The Bible has zero to offer except outdated lies and offensive views against certain groups of people
I gave the Bible a chance....to be toilet paper for my shitty asshole.
Im not sure why she is still asking questions after mel said that lmao
Give her some credit this ain't Barbra Walters here! But yeah that is the end all put down
Mel Gibson said : READ THE BIBLE DIANE !
Watching April 2020 here .
My favorite part lol
Where is the second movie?? Been waiting..
Favorite part
A yo Diane fix your face
yessirr
This changed my life. Our pastor insisted we all watch it. I’m so grateful for this movie. I’m Catholic, and I’m proud of that. God bless you Mel. 🙏🕊️
As a prison chaplain I have found The Passion to be incredibly effective in leading hardened men to the grace and love of God carried out on their behalf. Lives have been changed!
Not an easy job, I’m sure. Thank you for what you do, father
I doubt it.
I am a proud Catholic and this movie is one of the most beautiful meaningful movies in the history of films. It was very sad and realistic! This is what our Lord Jesus Christ went through, yes, it was brutal and horrific! AND No Catholics DO NOT hate Jews, not at all! Whoever criticizes this movie as brutal, guess what, that is WHAT HE WENT through!! It was NOT made up! If he had shown something different, it would NOT have been The Passion of The Christ!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am with you on this I believe and I loved the movie, it is exactly how it was and being a Roman Catholic I absolutely know that Mel did an excellent job directing..
Same here
Well said
I feel the same way! I love how His Mother was shown in that movie; beautiful, raw, magnificent love. The very person who entered the perfect personal relationship with Jesus long before He saved everyone on the cross. That fall... my heart melted imagining the pain Mary must've felt at that time.
Brainwashed
Thank you Mel Gibson for making Passion Of The Christ!! I know in my heart that you helped bring many people who were lost to Jesus!! God bless you Mel Gibson!! Love and Faith conquers ALL ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏
I am with you here ❤✝️
Amen
PRAYETRS for Mel for taking this on. He is a true legend. Lightening Striking as it did was NOT coincidence. NO ONE and EVERYONE killed Jesus bc we are all sinners, and He CHOISE to die for the potential for ALL of us, but ultimately, for only those that chose him as their Savior and who lead lives to strive for and represent that. It is common knowledge that Jewish leaders encouraged it and Roman soldiers carried it out.
"The more you eat, the emptier you get" WOW
Amazing line the way Mel says it. He makes you think
@montrealcanada7023
Especially on how the secular world view of what it means to make it on "top."
i couldn’t even explain to you how true that is. i have experienced that with sin. it’s truly evil. you are never satisfied.
Diane using the word frightening jesus in the garden praying is unbelievable..
i was 17 years old when this movie came out. i went to the theatre and watched it with my then boyfriend.
he slept thru the whole movie and i wept. it still does that to me, every time. you either believe or you don’t. there is no riding the fence with faith.
the bible says ask and it will be given to you.
The greatest passion film ever! God Bless Mel Gibson!
al meggs The Resurrection of The Christ is in Pre-Production!!!!!!! Mel Gibson Directing. Jim Caviezel is Back as The Christ!!!!!!!
It speaks volumes that Mel appears to be on trial during these interviews for making a movie about an historical event. Nevertheless, the Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” (G.K. Chesterton).
It feels like Mel is being pressured into making a mistake to undermine his credibility so the interviewer can stereotype Christians. However, Mel would be the first to admit he’s a flawed character as non of us are perfect. He’s just an entertainer and he’s only human but he’s also someones father and grandfather and it’s clear from his body language that he is being put under a lot of unfair stress for his beliefs. He’s in his 60s now and like a lot of the older generation he has cherished religious beliefs that bring him joy and help him make sense of reality. It must be very painful for his children and grandchildren to see him get treated this way.
The fact is the Passion clearly caused tidal waves, hitting a raw nerve among vast groups of the population and has created a powerful emotional response of which Mel is on the receiving end. There is clearly something deeper and inexplicable about the Jew and historical character known as Yeshua (Jesus) including the fact of inexplicable concepts such as teleology, altruism and the ability of humans to empathise and feel another human beings pain. The horrific crucifixion of an innocent who said and did the things Jesus said and did demands on being attended to. “Pain insists on being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world” (C.S. Lewis). J. R. Tolkien was a Christian and a close friend of C.S. Lewis and was part of the reason that Lewis, who was an atheist nearly half his life, converted to Christianity. Mel Gibson is an intelligent man and a successful writer and director so I’m sure he would have felt something similar to Tolkien or Lewis before releasing his movie the passion. “I am dreading the publication, for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at.”(J.R. Tolkien before the publication of The Lord of the Rings).
According to Tolkien “the Birth of Christ is the eucatastrophe of Man’s history. The Resurrection is the eucatastrophe of the story of the Incarnation”. It’s clear that the beliefs, flawed character and energetic personality of Mel Gibson is irrelevant as he did not write the Gospels and the fact is that both non religious and religious people were either stunned into silence or wept through this honest and poignant movie account of the murder of an innocent. Nevertheless, the whole “story begins and ends in joy. It has pre-eminently the ‘inner consistency of reality’. There is no tale ever told that men would rather find was true, and none which so many sceptical men have accepted as true on its own merits. For the Art of it has the supremely convincing tone of Primary Art, that is, of Creation (J.R. Tolkien). Interestingly, According to the brilliant physicist and pioneer of quantum mechanics Werner Heisenburg “The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you”. When commenting on the abstract and paradoxical nature of quantum mechanics Heisenburg also stated that “By getting to smaller and smaller units, we do not come to fundamental or indivisible units. But we do come to a point where further division has no meaning”. C. S, Lewis personally experienced the horrors of war and carried around shrapnel in his body for years. Lewis explores the fundamental nature of reality in his discussion of objective morality in his prescient book (The Abolition of Man) and argues that “You cannot go on 'seeing through' things for ever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too? It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see” (C.S. Lewis). “If my duty to my parents is a superstition, then so is my duty to posterity. If justice is a superstition, then so is my duty to my country or my race. If the pursuit of scientific knowledge is a real value, then so is conjugal fidelity. The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find that they had destroyed themselves” (C.S.Lewis)

Thanks to Mel Gibson for taking the time and effort to create this movie cause it was such a blessing to many and it depicted how much our Lord had suffer for our sins. All Glory to God 🙏🏼✝️
I stopped watching the Oscars after they snubbed this film,also you don't question the directors of films like 12 years a slave or Mississippi burning if they have fears of white ppl getting hurt over their portrayals

I am a Catholic and every time I watch this movie it made me choke so I have to cry, I can't control crying, imagining what Jesus has to suffered for the sake of our sin and to fulfill the prophesy. Thanks for making this movie for people around the world, believers or not will see the truth.

“To be racist in any way is to be un-Christian”
100% correct, across the board, across borders, across political line, across state lines, across TRADITION lines, across family lines.
I sincerely hope people absorb that completely..
I like how there’s all these terms “Anti-Semitic”, “Islamaphobe”, “Homophobe”,
But if you’re against Christians there is no terms 🧐
Maybe because most of the Christians countries are the colonists bring up their 3G jargon (gold, glory, and gospel). So, it's really hard to group them as the victims of abuse
@@tytiw516 wow, so ignorant...
I think it's call evil! To be against Christian Belief 🛐
God Bless you 🛐
@@tytiw516 If there were such a term as "Christianityphobe", it doesn't define Christians as victims. It would mean "fear of Christian's/Christianity". That's number one. Number two, is that the same applies to other terms such as "homophobe", "Islamaohobe", transphobic. They all mean "fear of". But it seems to have taken on a new meaning if "anti" or "against".
Anti-Semantism is just that. And there are people who are against and hateful of Jews. Lastly, the same applies to Christian's. anti Christianity does exist. Especially in Hollywood. We're mocked mostly. We're hated by some. And also perhaps feared. You can probably say that about any person or people. It does not suggest that we/they claim to be victims.

“He was already like that I don’t think a passion play turned Hitler Around.” I never realized how articulate and witty Mel Gibson is.
@joeybwalsh Hitler was into the occult and drug use. He was demonic. I don't think Hitler would ever have allowed anyone to tell him to love his neighbor.
Mel handled every question perfectly
My daughter and I came out of The Passion crying. We were weeping because we knew the prophecies from the Old Testament and knew that the crucifixion was prophesied in Psalms 22. The violence depicted in Gibson’s movie was something people needed nowadays. We don’t even slaughter our own meat. Our lives are so protected from any type of violence or bloodshed. When the Roman government ruled, death was a way of life. Not just for Christ, but for Christians after him. Any perceived enemy of the Roman government met his death. And that death was usually brutal. The Romans invented crucifixion as a means of the death penalty. These were people who were not loving and caring. They worshipped fallen angels and demons. Unholy gods.
Diane Sawyer is so annoying. I bet she celebrates Christmas and doesn't even know why.
Sandra yr right she is annying
this woman is dumb or plays dumb :X:X:X
Christmas or nowadays spelt with the Xmas. Is a Pagan holiday. X is connected to Satan ( Lucifer / the Devil ).
Our Lord Jesus Christ was "conceived" on the 25 th of December. And born in September.
All a Trick by the evil ones. Also do your homework on the Easter bunny rabbit. The Unicorn, the Butterfly and the Owl. See who uses them images. Not Christians.
Black and Red are connected to Satan. Black is not a colour. Black is a medium, devoid of Light. Darkness. Death.
The best colours are: Blue and Silver.
Mark, Robert, Cuthbert I don’t think I asked you about unicorns and bunny rabbits.
Many people do
I cried through the entire movie. It felt like you were an actual witness to the Crucifixion of Christ. It hurt my very soul. This movie was literally ordained by God for him to make. Amazing film.
Exactly amen
Gibson's commitment to his faith and his masterful artistry in the making of this brilliant film is a credit to himself and to the film industry. He has given us a great gift.
I tell you what this movie did to me-it brought me to faith 18 years ago, and I never looked back. Thank you Lord for giving strength and faith to Mel Gibson who did not give up to make this masterpiece to proclaim Jesus's death and resurrection! Jim Cavizel is also a blessing to this movie. To hear his testimony about this movie is uplifting!
“Read the gospels Diane.” That’s the message. The media loves to be this way, where they try to present their own persuasion of the story. It really struck me when she said that one of the main representatives of the group that has a problem with the movie, was “uninvited” to the showing but snuck in. God invites all of us to Him. This movie was not made for Christians. God‘s message was not made for those who already believe. Jesus died for every single one of us. And He also rose again for every single one of us. We just need to choose Him. We have to surrender and trust in God fully, and come to Him through the power of The Holy Spirit’s conviction, through Jesus, God’s Son.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The media aint righteous. They lie all the time especially CNN. Its brainwashing and conditioning. Freedom of speech is over.
Jesus commanded people to be born again - spiritually
ANYone can call themselves a Christian and they do!
NOT just anyone can be born again - it requires the Witness of Holy Spirit who is the Gatekeeper to the Kingdom of God
Jesus Christ is the Door
Holy Spirit brings the person over the threshold
NO one can be in the actual presence of God and not REPENT!
God has One Pattern- His own
Man has many of Gods of his own making- religiosity-cultural religions and his cults - ALL perpetrated by Satan
Only ‘8’ were saved on the ark made by God - to God - for God thru a ‘called out’ man
Holy Spirit comes to us AS Jesus went to the people
Jesus Christ Wendi g the Holy Spirit to continue the co mission
There is One Church
For there is but One God and One Faith
NEW Testament
Foreshadowed in the Old
WHO was to come
The Only Begotten Son of God - Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit brings the Unity of the Faith
NOT man!!!
God has but a remnant
The road IS that narrow!
Only room for 2
Jesus and the person
Choose Jesus! Every single day. GOD IS WORTH IT.
You don’t sound terribly sane.
From the first scene, this movie made me sob.. after hearing about it all my life, it instantly became real.
I cried on and off for a week.
I thank you Mel Gibson for showing me what My Lord really went through for me.
This is historical fact, and the foundation of our faith. I pray you’ll open your heart up to Jesus.
@Jon In SLO Partial historical fact ressurection is debatable.
Pilot washed his hands because his wife told him she had a dream about Jesus and not to mess with him.. he got bullied by the crowd.
@Jon In SLO 😂😂😂 you mean fairytale? Learn to spell or use spellcheck. Jesus loves you.
The passion is important, but the basis of the Faith is the Resurrection.
I finally got the guts to watch the passion yesterday. I’ve had it on DVD since first came out, but I could not bring myself to watch it. It was so factual and so hard to watch. It was the hardest movie I have ever watched. I cried my way through it, but I saw in the movie Gods sacrifice for you and me.
It’s a powerful movie, it’s one of a short list of important films that I only need to see once. It’s great but very upsetting and poignant. As Mel says schindlers list is just one . I’m not deeply religious, but I do believe in god, I just don’t understand it, I don’t understand Jesus , I wish I did., maybe I will in time. As a contradiction I do feel I have a personal understanding with god , as someone once said , ‘I think me and god would be mates’ , that the way I feel.
The man is a genius. Admire him so much. For everything he has done, and been through. We need more of his messages in the world now.
I agree totally! Mel Gibson is the one of the Holywood Artists believe in God ✝️! What a great pleasure in this terrible times! A great Character,a blessed Man,Mel Gibson ❣️🙏!
He’s an anti semitic prick.
I have the utmost respect for Mel’s courage in make this film. I am so impressed with his handling of Diane’s interview. He really is a humble, brilliant, and kind human being. Bless you Mel. I am Catholic and SO appreciative of telling Jesus’s story in such a profound way. I cried while watching i the day it came out and reminded me of how much our Lord suffered. ❤️🥰 As lent is quickly approaching it reminds me to be a kind, gentle and generous people to everyone I meet.
Best fictional story ever 👌

"What did she do? She hoped for years"
Those words just Pierced through my heart.
When you were raised up in a christian family, you get used to the gospel so easily. I started preaching the gospel to myself mutiple times a day, a week ago. There is soooo much strenght in it... when you listen to it or watch it, and try to let it sink in to your inner most being.. wauw it's just amazing love. I don't get anymore why I didn't cry over it, just a week ago.
The most significant film in the history of film.
It's just another new testament movie only a lot more violent. Torture porn.
LMAO
@@petergreen2552 Uh, no it isn’t. If it’s “torture porn” for you, then you need to reevaluate your beliefs and your heart. Even though this is a year old.
haven't seen it but prefer the one with Willem, they're all torture porn btw the story includes that as it was what we did to each other and still do. the to the most part outdated books don't concern me too much
That's not true, but it is an anomaly in the history of cinema, and it's one of the great cinema business successes.
Just watched The Passion again..maybe my 3rd or 4 th time. The older I get, the more the movie brings me closer to God. I feel it was spot on and true to the scriptures. Great job Mr. Gibson and I admire your faith.
I still remember when this movie came out in theaters and there was so many cases of people having heart attacks in the theaters. This movie touched the world when it came out
Also many cases of thieves returning stolen property
Diane Sawyer demonstrates her attitude toward Christians in the way she interviews Mel
Mel Gibson - an absolute hero! When I was 10 years old I remember saying, if they were to make the crucifixion the way it really happened it would be a horror story. Mel Gibson brought it to life.
And he didn’t even come close to the torture Christ suffered. Many think He only received 40 minus 1 lashes because that is Jewish law BUT and this is a big But that is often overlooked, the Romans couldn’t care less about following Jewish laws. Only the people present at the time and Christ Himself know how many lashes He received.
He abused the guy that played Christ and then ruined the actors career over this movie
Mel Gibson is kind of a shitty person. I feel bad for the man that played Christ, Jim Caviezel
@@ZeranZeran Lies. Caviezel wanted to be in this movie, it was his choice, and it was his choice to no longer be in movies that would go against his faith.
@@VCthaGOATdunker Yeah it was his choice, and then Mel Gibson ruined his life and abused him. His career is ruined, and his life has never been the same. He is permanently injured now. You wanna call that a miracle? I call that a Hollywood POS taking advantage of a good Christian man. Can't even work a job again in his life if he wanted to, and is Mel helping him? No. Poor guy
@@ZeranZeran LOL. Since you're only interested in making up silly stories, why don't we stick to the facts shall we? Caviezel has been steadily working almost every single year since The Passion. Look it up on IMDB. He was fantastic in Escape Plan alongside two legendary actors, and he will soon play in the sequel to The Passion. He didn't blow up in Hollywood because you have to sell your soul and he didn't want to do that.
The Passion is an amazing film. Couldn’t stop crying as I watched it. I feel like this as realistic as Christ’s crucifixion could get. Thank you Jesus for dying for our sins 🙏🏼
Me too
Mel Gibson is a genius and God bless him for this awesome movie that produced miracles because of how close he came to what really happened, thank God Mel survived hellish Hollywood. I know you are saving so many souls with the best Jesus film ever. We love you Mel.❤🎉😊
Thank you Mel Gibson for bringing this movie to life. I cried the whole time and asked Jesus to forgive us, the entire humanity, for the atrocities we have committed as a people. I’m completely horrified and heartbroken after having watched it for the first time, always having avoided it because I knew it would be hard to watch. Always have known it, but the movie makes me want to pray more and carry the cross of life in a more graceful manner knowing the heavy price our Lord had to endure.
So very well put!
He is my man! I love this guy, I love how sponteneous and immediate is in what he says! He is a SUPERB director, it's a pitty that people don't notice the tiny small details that made this film not only great, but also EPIC!!!
he is obviosly one of the best filmamakers ever !!
You have put your faith in a man, an ordinary man. Think about what this movie was projecting and ask yourself who you should put on a pedestal. No human is worthy of being on higher ground.
Oh lighten up. We're talking about a film and its impact here..not worshipping it.
MEGA-DITTO!!! 2 ALL Time INCREDIBLE movies:
#1: The Passion of the Christ
#2: Braveheart
Mel Gibson is a genius storyteller, actor, director....LOVE HIS WORK! 💞
@@pattil4616 TY, Patti!!! 👍💞💞💞
Best movie ever made. Ever. The hand of God was definitely upon Mel making this movie.
Not the best movie ever
Thanks to Mel , for his bravery and for bringing this history of love , that is the message.
This is a powerful interview with a man of integrity and genuine personal experience.
Mel did an outstanding job of The Passion Of The Christ. I’m looking forward for the sequel.
I hope it gets made as well.
@@Notevenone he said a couple years just a few weeks ago in an interview
The synagogue of satan tried to make Mel pay for this movie, but Mel rose above it. They hate the Lord, and the Lord couldn't care less. Their rules do not apply when it comes to the Lord, and they absolutely hate it. God will always prevail. Always.
Amen
👏🙏
Watching it now from Burma.
I watch it years ago in Sydney, Australia. Still remembering it ( the movie) .
Thank you Mel Gibson.
Absolutely his best film! Overtime we have “white washed “ the crucifixion and we need to be reminded of just what Christ went through for us. Anyone who sees this movie will never forget it. Brilliant filmmaking!
What if none of that actually happened, and its merely a story meant to teach? Do Christians never consider this?
@@ZeranZeran it's historical just like Alexander The Great.
@@lynettebeckles9842 Where is Jesus in the history books compared to Alexander the great? I believe he was a real person. The rest of it sounds like a STORY, not mean tto be taken literally
@@ZeranZeran Read Josephus, the official historian 1st Century AD as one example. There is more historical corroborating evidence for Jesus' story than any event in ancient history. You most likely believe the Trojan War happened, yet there is far less proof of that ever occurring. 🤔
@@MrEmperorApples That's something written by man, and proves nothing.
"They have a problem with the four Gospels." Great clarification.
Love Mel Gibson, he has deep principles. Profound belief. And is a good person ✝️♥️🙏
Diane's facial expressions are so condescending.
I love how Mel Gibson portrayed the passion of Jesus. It's actually how it is told in the gospel of bible... I personally felt that anointing was upon him in making this film.
For me, it just shows how Jesus Christ suffer and died because of love... for sinners like me.
Amen🛐❣️✝️
The interviewer looks disgusted throughout the whole interview, what is her agenda? Who is paying her? What happened to unbiased journalism?
She is endorsed by Lucifer.
Because she works for those devils who own Hollywood
Because she’s not a Christian or a Godly woman. Her God is money.
@@SunflowerChild82 is that really so?
@@cynthp4 Yes! Or then maybe just a pure Christians/Catholics hating person! Nowadays we have a lot of people like her, hating for the sake of just hating (🤑) or because of their ideology (politics)! We have to use the same type of tactics for these people as such (Christianphobics, Catholicphobics, Straightphobics, Whitephobia, Mensphobias and so on so on)! If there are phobias terms for every others groups, religions and etc etc, then why not such terms for the ones I mentioned above also hummm🤔?!
Cheers.
Thank You, Mel Gibson! You tell the truth.
The most powerful movie I’ve ever seen. Praise be to God. Jesus loves us - not because we are good but because He is good.
"I'm a believer by the way." He has to point it out because Dianne is so clueless.. or is she just acting dumb?
Sawyer is of those people the Christian hating, Christ denying, anti-Semitic, bourgeois self appointed, anointed elitists!
Absolutely, but I just feel she is not a believer....like she was in disbelief of his faith.
Could be both.
This is the only movie I have ever seen which screamed authenticity, ferocious in its portrayal of the truth. Mel never held back and told the story 'as it was'. I cannot think of a single Hollywood director/producer today that can claim such integrity. Worse yet, I cannot think of one who would even want to.
I remember the campaign against this film when it came out. It was very sudden and very organized. And it was implied for sure, sometimes veiled, sometimes quite openly, that Mel Gibson was an antisemite. To claim otherwise is just disingenuous. This film simply freaked people out to no end. I didn't think much of it back then, I just found it odd that a movie star would willingly risk his reputation for a religious film. Today I think a little differently. It took an insane amount of guts, heart and integrity to do this.
Mel, you depicted the Crucifixion better than it's ever been depicted before. If you would have done the Crucifixion just exactly as the Bible says (which you did come closer than anyone ever)...it was so real and you made us see what our Lord Jesus went through. It was an amazing movie and Crucifixion scene. Keep the faith. God Bless You!
This movie was like a big defeat to Hollywood. They tried to stop it, to cover it with mud, but the force of God just was too much. They never forgave Gibson after that; but in reality, it is God who they hate.
Even this interview is like that exactly
Mel is my favorite, he is a rare combination of warrior, poet, who reminds me of king David who was a great warrior yet wrote most of the psalms in the Bible. Literally amazes me how when Mel uses common themes from the Bible Holy Ghost, evil ect they act like he's from another galaxy. Hollywood must truly be in a bubble.
Hollyweird has another master, and he is DEFINITELY not Jesus Christ.
King David. More like LARRY David
Jk
Those who are against the Gospel will be hateful of Mel Gibson. I pray God will protect him from these evil people.
The fact that he went through ALL that and went on to do the passion of the Christ speaks volumes and shows that God can use ANYONE to spread his word. I 100% agree with Gibson because his film is the truth
I met Jim when he was 21 aspiring to be an actor. He came to Stanford to visit our daughter.He was impersonating many actors and singers. I told him he looked like JESUS! He said “I do??” I was SO happy to see his name on the big screen!! I know Jim was chosen to play this part! He is such a beautiful Christian and actor and it was all from his heart! ❤️ You Jim!! 🙏
Well actually Jesus looked very different. But i Gotta say. When i saw passion i felt like this is how i envisioned Jesus to look like. He was perfect. But again. This is not how Jesus looked like in real life
That crazy God works in great ways
You know what Jesus sounds like?🤭
@@ryotanuyou don't know what Jesus looked like no one does
Just saw this film for the first time two weeks ago. I’m 58. I am easily shocked by gore but now it felt right. Well, even though I closed my eyes through lots of it, I came away a changed person. I quit feeling sorry for myself. My life has been such a horror story I don’t even talk about it, but it’s nothing compared to Christ’s sacrifice for sure. God bless Mel Gibson. Diane Sawyer? Yikes.
Diane Sawyer is creepy and manipulative. She's something else.... like the bald creature in the movie.
Yes I felt her vibe. Not the greatest Orwell is her salvation.
Hello Sharon, His death was for you, this love is for you. Palm 91 is for you.
Much love & prayer 🙏
@Sharon, find some good people, perhaps a Biblical church filled with real Christians, but most of all, seek Christ as much as your lungs seek oxygen. 🤗
@@lovesandservesjesuschrist6752 I agree. I was too busy criticizing Diane that I didn't see it.
Im Anglican, i read my bible every morning, it starts my day. Watching the Passion of the Christ was heartbreaking... reading the words is one thing but watching the brutality of the way Jesus was treated is another... i cried and havent watched the dvd again. Maybe i should to remind me of the greatest sacrifice of all.... I believe the stories of the bible in their entirety.... you either believe all or none at all..... such is my faith.
if you havent watched it again you should go for it
especially before easter
it really shows what “dying for our sins” and the ultimate sacrifice is all about
i just watched it again last night and after a sort of “faith reversion” this past january the impact of the film cannot be accurately stated
(catholic here) and reflection on the sorrowful mysteries (Jesus’ Passion) was always difficult in the sense i couldnt visualize or fathom what the sacrifice “really” entailed
and with the films opening moments in gethsemane and only building from there i had all the visual and inner struggle available that had been lacking when meditating on Jesus’ passion
good luck, God bless, and Happy Easter 2024
This movie has never left my mind. I was so overcome during the flogging and carrying of the cross I thought my heart would burst.
Same. I was never the same. I couldn't breathe. I remember thinking, Wow the love God has for me!
The Passion brings home to each and evryone EXACTLY WHAT Jesus Christ SUFFERED so that we CAN be SAVED
Amen
It is a conversation between a beleiver and a nonbeleiver. Hollywood? Never mind. Thanks for Mel to making this movie!!
its a conversation with a angry catholic and a journalist.
"Well Said!" Mr . Mel Gibson
Thank you for your Transparency !
🪔✨💯
God bless this man, God give him blessings for not being ashamed of the gospel.
Satan working through the reporter to twist the Gospel of Christ. They better come to Christ.
LMAO
Um come back to reality. It's better here.
@@noprogressionisregression6854 come to Christ. You will have eternal life. Way better .
He's a genius
I'm an atheist and I still have enormous respect for Mel Gibson, for sticking to his vision and by his work. Cynical atheists might call it a snuff movie, and it's true that the film mostly comprises a man being brutalised and tortured to death. Even so, it's a very powerful and effective achievement, totally unflinching in its presentation. Of course it has potential to upset audiences, but it's then on those audiences to react authentically and to own their reaction, then to talk about it. That's what art is for.
The brutality was real. There were thousands of witnesses and no rational explanation but that Jesus was God as he said and rose from the dead to prove his way must be followed
Well said
This is one of the most enlightening interviews i have ever seen
The greatest passion film ever. Jesus, paid the ultimate price, for our sins.
Mel as a producer/director of movie making is a level above all others! All his movies are awesome and unique!
