The Movie PASSION OF CHRIST:
“Mel Gibson warned actor Jim Caviezel that playing the character of Christ was going to be very difficult and that if he accepted, he most likely would be marginalized by Hollywood.
Caviezel asked for a day to think about it and his response to Mel who was funding and directing the movie was: "I think we have to make it, even if it is difficult." And something else, my initials are J.C., and I am 33 years old. "I didn't realize that until now."
Mel responded with “You're really scaring me you know.”
During filming, Jim Caviezel who plays the part of Jesus lost 45 pounds, he was struck by lightning, he was accidentally struck twice during the scourging scene leaving a deep 14-inch scar, he dislocated his shoulder when the cross was dropped into the hole with him on the cross. He then suffered pneumonia and hypothermia from being nearly naked with only a loin cloth on the cross for endless hours. The crucifixion scene alone took 5 weeks of the 2 months of shooting.
His body was so stressed and exhausted from playing the role that he had to undergo two open heart surgeries after the filming production.
Jim explained, “I didn’t want people to see me. I just want them to see Jesus. Conversions will happen through that.”
Almost like a clairvoyant prediction many amazing things happened.
Pedro Sarubbi, who played Barabbas, felt that it was not Caviezel who was looking at him, but Jesus Christ himself, as he played that role he said of Caviezel, “His eyes had no hatred or resentment towards me, only mercy and love."
Luca Lionello, the artist who played Judas, was an avowed atheist before shooting began. He eventually converted, and baptized his children.
One of the main technicians working on the film was a Muslim converted to Christianity.
Some producers said they saw actors dressed in white they didn’t recognize during one of the filming sessions, and when they reviewed the recordings they realized they couldn’t see them in that footage.
The Passion of the Christ is the highest grossing US religious as well as the highest R-rated film of all time, with $370.8 million! Worldwide, it grossed $611 million.
More importantly, it has reached 100’s of millions of people around the world.
Mel Gibson paid $30 million out of his own pocket for the production of the film because no studio would take on the project.
Today Jim Caviezel simply and boldly proclaims his faith in Christ, and the miracle it was for him to represent Christ as an actor and a greater believer of Christ because of this experience.

As I’ve been getting more and more into documentary filmmaking, I wanted to start a passion project of mine, focusing on one of my favorite things: movies! Impactful Pictures is a docu-series celebrating powerful, important movies; their influences and what made them so "impactful". The first episode focuses on one of the most haunting movies I have ever seen: Barefoot Gen (1983)! If any of you are interested in this, go check out the video on my channel! Link is in my bio🤙🏻 #barefootgen #hadashinogen #documentary #documentaries #hiroshima #animation #powerfulmovie #film #filmmaking #anime #videoessay #filmanalysis #ww2 #atomicbomb #history #japan #shortfilm #keijinakazawa #nuclear #antinuclear #antiwar @shortdocumentary @keijinakazawa @redcrossmuseum

'The Florida Project' is simply one of the best films I've seen in many years. An extremely powerful, heartbreaking and eye-opening story. I was in tears at the end. Fantastic performances by the young children and one of the best of Willem Dafoe's career. A must see for everyone and a must own on Blu-ray for me. . . #TheFloridaProject #FloridaProject #films #goodmovies #sadmovies #powerfulmovies #emotionalmovies #movierecommendations

I literally try to watch this movie at least once a year. #HigherLearning is one of the most important movies I’ve ever seen. It came out in 1995 yet a lot of the messages in this movie still ring true today. If you haven’t seen it please take the time to watch it. It may change your perspective on how you see the world. #HigherLearning #OpenYourEyes #RaceRelations #PowerfulMovie... • • • • • #blacklivesmatter #blackpower #blacklove #melanin #blackisbeautiful #problack #blm #feminism #blackexcellence #blackpride #racism #blackhistory #feminist #altonsterling #policebrutality #blackgirlmagic #korryngaines #philandocastile #africanamerican #cringe #JusticeOrElse #blackmen #blackpeople... http://ift.tt/2spgysK

the green mile
when he took my hand, a part of the power that worked through him spilled into me..
he infected you with life..
you cant blame him, it's just a force of nature
you'll be gone like all the others, ill have to stay
ill die eventually; of that, i am sure. i have no illusions of immortality but i will have wished for death long before death finds me. in truth, i wish for it already.
i think about all of us, walking our own green mile, each in our own time.
but one thought, more than any other, keeps me awake most nights. if he could make a mouse live so long, how much longer do I have? 
We each owe a death –– there are no exceptions. But, oh God, sometimes the Green Mile seems so long.
