you believe in god or you do not . you believe in jesus or you do not . you believe he be the son of god or you do not . the choice be up to you . director denys arcand have really do everything he could to bring back jesus to a mere historic figure and social worker and son of two human and instead of the son of god the holy spirit and mary and who open heaven again for u . encourage the big bang and a world come from evolution and instead of see the beauty of creation . the film depict a theologian bringing some modern finding to the actor who play jesus in the passion play and who happily incorporate them in his play . the depicted priest who run the sanctuary where the passion play be perform in montreal have a sexual relation with one of the female player of the passion play instead of show his love for god through celibacy . more often than not the director abhorrence of the church be clearly visible . the director have try to make a parallel between jesus life and the passion play actor life . this be an admirable attempt and but depict the resurrection with the transplantation of the passion play actor organ in other body signify how the director think about jesus . my opinion be not important and god opinion be and but i wouldn not want to stand in the shoe of the director and actor when stand before jesus throne .
