concrete u say

          When I first started to write about The Passion of Christ I wanted to focus on Jesus carrying the cross on his back, and what the meaning of it was. The more I allowed input to come in from my peers and my teacher. I realized that the movie Passion of Christ may have a deeper meaning then what I interpreted. I realized that Jesus was not the only one who walked through the city with a cross on his back. So now I have to wonder rather or not the cross means something significant in the movie. Considering that the bible is the major influence on the Passion of the Christ. Its only logical to think that it’s main focus was about Jesus. The director Mel Gibsons interpretation about Passion of Christ can be neither wrong nor right. However I do know now that the Passion of the Christ has many other strong view points that I never mentioned or focused on. For example when Jesus was walking through the crowd with the cross  on his back, on one side was his mother Mary, and the other Mary that is mentioned in the bible. On the other side was the devil walking/ gliding through the crowd watching and waiting for Jesus to be crucified. What seems to have been portrayed was simple the good VS. evil. In some weird way would bring this movie back to the original battle that I can remember, God Vs the devil. It would be safe to say that the cross is a symbol of trials, tribulations, and stress that we as the people mainly put on ourselves, could not be a absolute concrete statement. Now that I was able to research what I have wrote about, and what I thought my main focus would be. I have found that I myself have conflicted my thoughts and words dramatically.
