"Now you got another film coming up, I hear the sequel to the Passion of the Christ.

"Mel, there's a rumor, the word on the street is that you're going to do

Hi. I'm Matt and this is Logos Made Flesh.

Ever since its release in 2004, Christians have been

clamoring for a sequel to the Passion of the Christ,

hands down, the bloodiest Christian movie ever made.

Well, I think there's a tendency for all of us

And cinematically I think it's been sanitized

a fair bit so that it becomes ineffective, ineffectual,

not emotional and I wanted to illustrate the extent of the sacrifice."

Many reviewers were disgusted with the Passion's bloodshed,

but Christians saw in its brutality, God's manifested love for all humanity.

A meaning which Gibson, in the film's opening quotation,

The Passion went on to become the highest-grossing
independent and rated R film,

It's not surprising, therefore, to see
why Christians want a sequel.

But they've totally missed the one Gibson gave them.

In 2006, Gibson followed the Passion with Apocalypto,

a story which is a continent, culture, and
millennium removed from the crucifixion.

Apart from the arrival of the Spanish at the film's
end, the story appears to have nothing

to do with Christianity, although just as bloody if not

more bloody than the Passion of the Christ.

Christians understood the Passion's
brutality but they could not

swallow Apocalypto's. According to the estimate of one Christian reviewer,

the Passion's "very subject matter - crucifixion - lent itself

But concerning Apocalypto's violence, they had to conclude,

The irony is striking since Gibson has gone to great links to connect the two films.

To date, Gibson has directed five films and yet only two,

the Passion and Apocalypto, have been
filmed using ancient languages

The title is also telling. Apocalypto is Greek for "I reveal"

and is related to the Greek word Apocalypse, Revelation,

If we consider that the Passion was
Gibson's meditation on the Gospels

at the beginning of the New Testament, Apocalypto suggests itself

But even more substantial are the many
ways Apocalypto echoes the earlier film.

Opening, for instance, like the Passion,
with a white text quotation

on a black background from which it fades to a slow

carrying a beam to a city and a hill of execution

But here's where the echoes end. The passion is nearly over.

Jesus is taken down from the cross. And in one final scene,

on for another half. Jaguar Paw escapes and races

back to save his wife and child in the place where the film began.

There he must confront and kill his enemies, one by one,

before the waters in the well rise too high.

But the arrival of the Spanish distracts the last of his pursuers.

And after rescuing his family, together they
seek a new beginning in the forest.

Apocalypto and the Passion are two sides
of the same archetypal coin.

The Passion may begin in the Garden of Gethsemane,

but it is, more importantly, an allusion to the Garden of Eden.

The serpent suggests that Jesus is here undergoing
the temptation of Adam and Eve.

Whose failure, according to the Bible, cast the mold for every human person.

But Jesus rejects the serpent and thereby
begins to break and remake that mold.

He freely surrenders and endures mankind's banishment
from garden/the curse of suffering and death,

so that by sharing in our suffering he might
share with us his resurrection

Thus after death, he rises naked, as Adam and Eve did

before the fall, the symbol of humanities return to the garden.

The Passion isn't just a story of a brutalized man.

It's the story of how the only innocent man suffered to become

the representative of Everyman. And it's Everyman

That's why it too begins with an
allusion to the Garden of Eden,

seen in the lush foliage of the forest,
the happiness and near nudity

of its inhabitants as well as a story
echoing Genesis' account

This is the story of humanity and Apocalypto,

and the city which takes Jaguar Paw and his tribe captive

is the embodiment of man's corruption and fall,

subjugating people and nature in its perpetual quest for more.

The fact that Gibson has pulled the film's
opening quote from something

which was originally said of ancient Rome,
uggests the film is more

And in this pile of bodies, we're shown an allusion to the destruction

In fact, Gibson has said that the film is equally about the destruction wrought
