Youth News: Isabela Rzeznik on The Passion of the Christ

Published: April 22, 2004

I thought “The Passion of the Christ” was cinematically beautiful and told the story of Jesus’ death very well.

The emotions of the characters were captured beautifully, especially the relationship between Jesus and his mother, Mary.

The only problem I had with the film was the way Pontius Pilate was portrayed. He was not a pleasant man, yet he was shown as one.

As for the way it made me feel, I looked at my friends and said, “We just all need to go to confession.”

It was amazing to see that and know that’s what our sins did to Jesus. He died for us, and a life for another is the greatest gift one could give.
