Originally, the intent for the is implies total fidelity to the new testament, however, some extra biblical accounts are placed for artistic reasons (Sawyer, 2004). The film presents Jesus being questioned by the Sanhedrin in front of a Jewish Crowd. The Canonical Gospels of the New Testament are not strictly followed by the movie, The Passion of the Christ, evidently, the Gospel of John recalls Jesus’ aids are the Sanhedrin or the Jewish authorities and only Annas and Caiaphas cross-examined Christ with the absence of the benefits of trial. The baby carried by the devil exemplifies the weird and disturbing distortion of what ought to be an incomparable vision of beauty seen in a mother carrying a child (Gibson, 2007). The hideous looking baby is another additional element to visually further the established definition of eveil (Gibson, 2007). In the Passion’s case, the alluring, attractive appearance of the devil is augmented to signify the definition of evil.

The devil’s depiction in the movie symbolizes the decptive nature of evil itself. The devil was present almost all throughout Christ’s passion to epitomize evil in its purest form (Gibson, 2007). One of the most notable infidelities of the film to the scriptures is the presence of the devil in the form of the woman. The film presents a narrative with similar accounts to that of the gospels with some additional accounts not found in the scriptures. The plot runs from Christ’s agony in Gethsemane up to his resurection. The film offers a narrative of the Christ in the fulfillment of his destiny as humanity’s redemption from sin. Moreover, Passion of the Christ opened new doors for individuals regarding the theological account of the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. The added treatment and elements in the film’s plot and execution attracted several points of comparison from its main scriptural source, the Bible’s New Testament, which is a subject of various debates in several sects of Christianity. The motion picture concerns the agony, arrest, trial, suffering and death of Christianity’s central figure. The passion of the Christ is a film that depicts the last twelve hours of the public life of Jesus of Nazareth. Moreover, the depiction of Christ in aesthetics, particularly, in film has always been contrasted from its main existing source, the Canonical Gospels of the Bible’s New Testament. The conflicting perspectives of numerous religious sects who consider Jesus as a fundamental figure causes such debate to erupt.
This graphic manifestations of Jesus have been a subject of debate and criticism in recent years, due to the questions of authenticity raised on the portrayals. Jesus has also been the central figure of several forms of visual arts such as painting, sculpture, drawing, theater and film. Jesus was a 1st century Jewish Teacher who is now the central figure of the most dominant religion, Christianity.
