"'Fahrenheit 9/11' and 'The Passion' were the most electrifying movies of the year. Will Hollywood honor one—or snub the other—to make a point?"

Last night I saw an advance screening of Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, and I am still *OVERWHELMED*. Words can hardly express the sheer *EMOTION* of the experience. I am not exaggerating when I call this the *GREATEST* film of all time. If you thought Braveheart was Mel Gibson's masterpiece, you have *SEVERELY* underestimated this man's talent! Braveheart is a wonderful movie, but the Passion of the Christ easily *OUTCLASSES* all films that came before it. This is the work of a true *ARTIST*. A century from now, the history books will speak of Mel Gibson as a...

Playing Jesus meant a world of torment for Jim Caviezel, who stars in Mel Gibson's ferociously violent The Passion of the Christ. Caviezel dangled nearly naked on a cross in bone-chilling winds through weeks of filming. He was struck by lightning during a recreation of the Sermon on the Mount.

He dislocated his shoulder carrying the cross, caught pneumonia and a lung infection, endured cuts, scrapes and backaches from the chains he bore. A devout Roman Catholic, Caviezel, 35, would not have...

The Prayer of St. Francis The cross sits on the crest of a hill in the windswept, ancient section of the Italian town of Matera. The temperature is frigid. And the man nailed to the cross, wears only a loincloth, is covered in blood, with his flesh shorn from much of his body. Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus in the new Mel Gibson film The Passion, is beyond...
