”Jim Caviezel learned enough Aramaic to play Jesus in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ." The interplay among the various languages of that time and place was one of my favorite facets of the movie. I especially loved how Jesus seamlessly switched over to speaking in Latin when he spoke privately with Pilate, and the surprise on Pilate’s face.

Mine too! A masterpiece. And Caviezel's performance is stunning.

Oh my! I never thought to notice that. Will pay special attention to that part next time.
