Nice version of the extraordinary , sad and bloody Christ Passion
The film centers about the Passion of Christ for the previous days that changed the world until his resurrection . The movie, behind the greatest event in the history of the world. Dealing with one man who changed the world forever . It begins with Jesus Christ along with his disciples (Antonio Vilar as Peter , Antonio Casas , Manuel Monroy, José Marco Davó) . Later on , in the garden of Getsemani where he's betrayed by Judas Iscariot (Manuel Monroy) in exchange of thirty coins . Continuing his arrest and trial . He's led to governor Poncio Pilatos (Antonio Vilar) , but he washes his hand s. Jesus Christ is condemned to die . Then the suffering goes on : knocks, punches , lashes, the blood drills along his skin. The experience of Christ suffering is overblown . He must carry the cross over his shoulders , when Veronica appears with her famous veil , likewise he's helped by Simon of Cyrene to transport the cross . He's crucified in the Golgota hill along with two thieves and there suffers new tortures, but water is given by a good legionnaire (Manuel Zarzo) . By his wounds, we were healed and Jesus gave his life for us .
The picture is very well played by great Spanish actors such as : Antonio Vilar in double role as Pontius Pilate /Saint Peter , Maruchi Fresno as Virgin Mary , Manuel Zarzo as a legionnarie , Carlos Casaravilla as Herodes , Antonio Casas , José Marco Davó , Xan das Bolas, Felix De Pomes , Angel Ter , Jacinto San Emeterio , Luchy Soto , Virgilio Teixeira , among others .This ¨The redeeemer¨ or ¨El redentor¨(1959) depicts the same holy events as ¨The Passion of The Christ¨(2004) by Mel Gibson with Jamez Cazievel . Viewers expecting to see Jesús in this epic will be disapappointed , as he never appears on the screen , (similar to Mohammed in The Message 1976) , as his face is never seen , he is only seen from behind . It packs a colorful and evocative cinematography by Edwin B. DuPar , though a perfect rematering being really necessary , as well as adequate set and art design by Enrique Alarcón , being shot in Madrid , surroundings and Sevilla studios . The movie was decently diected by Joseph Breen and Fernando Palacios . Rating : 7/10 . Well worth watching . Essential and indispensable seeing for religious cinema fans .
Jesus life has been adapted several times , such as : ¨King of Kings¨ (released in 1927) , it is the yardstick by which all Jesus movies are to be measure , being first silent version by Cecil B. DeMille with H. B. Wagner Christ .
