Quiet Debut for ‘Passion’ DVD
David Finnigan
September 2, 2004
When Rabbi Harold Shulweis learned that the DVD of \”The Passion of the Christ,\” which debuted on Aug. 31, would be just a bare-bones, no-frills copy of Mel Gibson\’s controversial movie, the spiritual leader of Encino\’s Valley Beth Shalom said, \”That\’s very good. I don\’t think the Jewish community has to repeat, regurgitate, all the anguish, all the anger.\”

After watching Mel Gibson\’s two-hour-and-six-minute \”The Passion of the Christ\” at the Fox Studio\’s 200-seat Zanuck Theater, with barely a dozen carefully invited others in the audience, I came away with great admiration for Gibson.
Not for the film, I can assure you.
For while it is superbly photographed by Caleb Deschanel (\”The Patriot,\” \”Being There\” and \”Black Stallion\”) you can\’t but sit in awe of Gibson\’s brilliant publicity juggernaut that could teach Barnum and Bailey a thing or two about the not-so-delicate art of movie promotion and marketing.

‘Passion’ Play

Over the next several months, it is going to be increasingly difficult to be dispassionate about \”The Passion.\”\n\nActor-director Mel Gibson\’s movie about the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus — recently renamed \”The Passion of Christ\” — will open nationwide on Feb. 25, Ash Wednesday. Last Thursday, the Anti-Defamation League\’s (ADL) Abe Foxman tossed more kindling on the prerelease flames by declaring, at an ADL panel discussion in New York City, that Gibson was \”seriously infected\” with anti-Semitic views.
