Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" has been hailed as the gospel truth by some believers, but some scholars say that it is riddled with historical errors. Gibson says he consulted scholars, theologians and priests before scripting the film with the aim of making Jesus's agony during the crucifixion appear as realistic as possible. Billy Graham called the film "a lifetime of sermons in one movie." Which it indeed is, since it depicts Christs suffering so well. But other scenes seem curious. Like the scene where Mary is soaking up the blood of Jesus from the floor where Jesus had been flailed nearly to death, and then pressing the blood up to her lips. To understand this we need to understand Mel Gibsons faith. Early in the filming of The Passion, Mel Gibson gave a long interview to Raymond Arroyo on the Catholic network EWTN. Mel Gibson explained how he calls
Mary co-redemptrix. Gibson went on to tell told how actor Jim Caviezel, the film's Jesus, insisted on
beginning each day of filming with the celebration of the Mass on the set. He also recounted a series of divine coincidences that led him to read the works of Anne Catherine Emmerich, a late-18th, early-19th-century Westphalian nun who had visions of the events of the Passion. Many of the details needed to fill out the Gospel accounts he
drew from her book, Dolorous Passion of Our Lord. This probably explains the more curious scenes with Marys obsession with Jesus blood. She may well have understood more than any, the pivotal event that was unfolding, but we have no scriptural evidence to support the claims of Anne Catherine Emmerich.The film also depicts the characters speaking in Latin and Aramaic. Experts say this was Gibsons first mistake, because Greek was the language spoken in Jerusalem during Jesus' time, along with Aramaic and some Hebrew spoken by Jews. "Jesus talking to Pilate and Pilate to Jesus in Latin!" exclaimed John Crossan, a professor of religious studies at the Chicago-based Roman Catholic De Paul University. "I mean in your dreams. It would have been Greek." Latin was reserved for official decrees or used by the elite.
Most Roman centurions in the Holy Land spoke Greek rather than Latin, historians and archaeologists told Reuters. The scenes where Pilate is speaking to his wife may have Latin, but the likelihood of any soldier in that time and place speaking Latin on the street seems next to nil. This obviously comes from Gibsons Catholic bias. I still liked the movie and thought it was excellent, and would recommend it highly.
