Jim literally becomes the character he is playing. He is a convincing actor. Jim is one of the few actors (in my opinion) who has the ability to become the character they are potraying. Jim is more than just another Hollywood pretty boy--he can actually act! His movies are definitly worth watching!

Favorite Movie

My Favorite Jim movie is "The Passion of the Christ". The movie focuses on the last 12 hours of the life of Jesus Christ. It was directed by Mel Gibson and filmed in Italy. The movie opened on February 25, 2004 (Ash Wednesday) in the United States. There's really no words to describe the movie, it's really movie you need to see yourself to begin to describe it. It's powerful, emotional, it will leave you speechless. Literally. When I seen it, after the movie was over, everyone (and I mean everyone) was totally silent. Mel Gibson has been accused of making an anti-Semtic film, but it is not anyway anti-Semtic. The movie doesn't blame the Jews for the death of Jesus. To paraphrase Jim "The acts of Mussolini does not condemn all Italians, the heinous crimes of Stalin does not condemn all Russians". The movie is very graphic. If you get quesy at the mear sight of blood, then do not go see this movie. Mel and Jim wanted this movie to as true to the gospels as possible, they wanted it all or nothing. In order for the movie to be true to the gospels, it would have to be graphic. The acting was amazing. Jim's potrayal of Jesus was excellent. Jim had said he prayed that people don't see him in this movie, he wants them to see Jesus Christ. From my opinion, and the opinion of other people I know who have seen "The Passion", it sounds like Jim's prayer was answered. In this movie, you're not thinking about Jim Caviezel the actor, you're thinking about Jesus Christ. This movie is so powerful, it has prompted criminals to confess their crimes to the police and turn themselves in. Never in my lifetime has there been a movie that prompted criminals to confess their crimes to the police. The actors are speak Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew. Those were the languages said to have been spoken by Jesus and in first century Palestine. There are subtitles, and the actors don't speak much during the movie (Jim actually speaks for about maybe 15 minutes all together). So it's not like you're "reading" a movie for two hours. There are some parts in where the actors are speaking, and there are no subtitles. Jim expressed a world of emtion, most of the time without saying one word. When Jim wasn't actually speaking (he speaks more in the flashback scenes) he was speaking through his eyes. Just look into his eyes, and they will tell you everything you need to know. One thing about Jim's expression that doesn't change in the movie is the look of love on his face. Even when Jesus was being denied, beaten and nailed to that Cross, he still expressed the look of love. This movie is one in million. I'm glad that this movie was made. If you see it just once, you will remember it for the rest of your life. "The Passion" is truely unforgetable.
