耶稣受难记

那是一个遥远而又让人永世难忘的时代，一位圣者将他的名字、他的精神永远镌刻在历史的丰碑之上。备受世人爱戴的上帝之子耶稣（詹姆斯·帕特里克·卡维泽 James Patrick Caviezel 饰）为生活在穷苦和磨难中的人们带去了希望和喜悦，与此同时他的存在也触犯了教廷和统 治者的利益。他拒绝着魔鬼的引诱，而门徒犹大（卢卡·莱奥内罗 Luca Lionello 饰）则抵抗不出金钱的魅力，他为此出卖了耶稣，其丑态永久留在了“最后的晚餐”之上。在此之后，耶稣被捕，当局者为他戴上荆棘做的王冠，命他背上沉重的十字架，更用带着铁刺的鞭子抽打圣人的肌肤。耶稣痛苦呻吟着，决绝地忍受当下的一切。“仁慈之父，他们什么都不知道。” 　　作为圣人，作为救世主，这是一条必须淌血走过的试炼之路……A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus--who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God'--is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free--Jesus, or Barrabas. The crowd chooses to have Barrabas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd--assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross--suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
