To: ultima ratio
After experiencing this film, how could anyone argue against the idea that this film was made by a man who was spiritually close to Christ? Bump!

The Passion of the Christ is the greatest Christological artistic work since Michelangelo's Pieta.
This film is impossible to adequately review, since to even refer to this as a mere "movie" is an understatement. The viewing of The Passion of the Christ is a religious experience.

Conclusion
This film will continue to have an impact on Catholics for years to come.
For many, viewing the film will become an annual Lenten experience.
For others, the images may be something to ponder when we are tempted.
For still others, with the grace of God, this movie will certainly be a source of conversions to the Catholic Faith.
This movie is a two-hour retreat, after which your life may never be quite the same.
Mel Gibson deserves our profound thanks for what he has done.
All of the above apply to me. Receiving the Holy Eucharist will forever have a deep and more valid meaning to me.
