The Passion of the Christ/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The whole film is a Tear Jerker, but the biggest is an intercut flashback between Yeshua falling under the weight of the cross and ickle!Yeshua tripping over something in the yard in slow motion, Mary running to pick him up in both instances. She tells him she's there, does the whole Mom thing, and then he says to her, simply, "See, mother, how I make all things new." If you love your parents or your kids at all, there is no stopping the waterworks at that point.
  • Yeshua was lost in his carpentry. Then it cuts back to the scourging . . .
