Filmed entirely in the languages of Aramaic and Latin, it has yet to secure a distributor On Friday it was shown in Houston to an audience that included for the first time an official from the Anti-Defamation League, which fights anti-Semitism "It's not a family film, from what I understand," she said " "This is our fear Seven months before its release, this extraordinary vanity project is stirring passions over Gibson's exclusionary screenings and the potential for a negative depiction of Jews Gibson is a member of an ultraconservative Catholic movement which rejects the Vatican's authority over the Catholic church It only recounts the last 12 hours of Christ's life, she said, and therefore lacks the context to explain the Jews' portrayal His father, Hutton Gibson, was quoted in a New York Times Magazine article in March as denying the Holocaust occurred Meanwhile, film industry observers are wondering whether this film can find an audience Gibson Gives Select 'Passion' Screenings Aug 9, 11:15 AM EST Those who have seen Mel Gibson's film about the final hours of Jesus Christ have called it beautiful, magical, a great and important work Conference of Catholic Bishops issued an apology this spring after learning a staff member had obtained a draft, and the script was returned Those who fear "The Passion" could fuel anti-Semitism, however, until now hadn't been allowed to see the film Paul Lauer, marketing director for Gibson's Icon Productions company, said the committee obtained a stolen, outdated script that is completely different from the rough cut of the film being screened "My intention in bringing it to the screen is to create a lasting work of art and engender serious thought among audiences of diverse faith backgrounds (or none) who have varying familiarity with this story "For too many years, Christians have accused Jews of being Christ-killers and used that charge to rationalize violence," said Sister Mary C Trailers of the two-hour movie have turned up on some Web sites In recent weeks, the actor-director had been building support with invitation-only screenings for film industry insiders, conservative commentators, evangelical Christians and sympathetic Jews , for about 70 members, and intends to hold Sunday services there in Latin " Boys and others on a committee of nine Christian and Jewish scholars that reviewed the script said Gibson may have been skewing public opinion by screening the film primarily for conservatives " But what is Gibson's version of the story? His traditionalist religion rejects the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, which in 1965 rejected the notion that Jews were collectively responsible for killing Jesus Gibson has said the film is faithful to the account of the crucifixion in the four Gospels and is meant "to inspire, not offend "I don't know that he will be able to find a studio that will distribute this," said Kim Masters, a film columnist for Esquire Magazine Not just Jews are concerned â€â€? the film was first questioned by a nine-member panel that included Christians Boys, a Catholic professor at the Union Theological Seminary who read an early draft of the script Masters said industry people who have seen the film respect its quality, but said it is disturbingly graphic " Rabbi Marvin Hier, dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said the center has received several dozen letters related to his criticism of the film Audience members signed confidentiality agreements before attending the screening " Internet personality Matt Drudge told MSNBC: "It depicts a clash between Jesus and those who crucified him and speaking as a Jew, I thought it was a magical film that showed the perils of life on earth " But critics of "The Passion" â€â€? who have not seen the film â€â€? worry that the popular Hollywood superstar will attract millions to see a violent, bloody recounting of the crucifixion that portrays Jews as a frenzied mob eager to watch Jesus die " The star of the blockbuster "Lethal Weapon" movies and Oscar-winning director of "Braveheart" has spent nearly $30 million of his own money to produce, co-write and direct "The Passion," starring Jim Caviezel as Jesus and Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene "It seems to me that the film looked on Jews as antagonists, Jesus as this perfect victim," she said "We still have grave concerns," Rabbi Eugene Korn, director of the ADL's Office of Interfaith Affairs in New York, told the Houston Chronicle in Saturday's editions "I thought it was the most authentic portrayal I've ever seen " But Haggard loved it "It's a really difficult film Gibson said in a June statement that he and his film are not anti-Semitic The scholars are very strict about adherence to scripture, so Gibson "had no assurances that we would be friendly toward that movie S Boys said an Icon employee provided an intermediary with the script A 4 1/2-minute preview was shown Friday for thousands of people attending a Christian festival at Anaheim, Calif Ted Haggard, president of the National Evangelical Association, saw a screening in late June with about 30 evangelical scholars " Cal Thomas, a conservative syndicated columnist, called the film "the most beautiful, accurate, disturbing, realistic and bloody depiction of this well-known story that has ever been filmed The U Lauer said the film has not sought a distributor, but that at least three major studios are interested While Gibson said "The Passion" will be the most authentic account ever of the crucifixion, Boys said the script she read presented the Jews as more culpable for Christ's death than the Romans who executed him Boys and others said they have received anti-Semitic hate mail after being quoted in news reports criticizing "The Passion The actor is building a traditionalist church in Malibu, Calif Also, although the recent screenings have included English subtitles, Icon hasn't decided whether to include them in a major release In her many letters to Gertrude Stein, the American writer who was Picasso's patron, she complained that a kidney ailment was so painful that she could hardly sit at all His family in Barcelona, whom they visited before going to the remote village, had thought they would marry and turned against her when they didn't The National Gallery of Art has assembled 60 related sketches, drawings, paintings and sculptures for a show that opens on Wednesday: "Picasso: the Cubist Portraits of Fernande Olivier Stein and Toklas promised to visit They ended up helping inspire the cubism that defined his career Though a professional model, the "languorous, auburn-haired" Fernande â€â€? as Picasso biographer John Richardson describes her â€â€? apparently did not sit for them They were sent from Paris by Alice B Jeffrey Weiss, curator of the show, noted that cubism was not Picasso's own name for the style â€â€? that name was popularized by a critic "Picasso didn't name things," Weiss said nga Picasso got the pianola fixed in the local bar so they would have something to dance to, but they never came â€â€? possibly because of the bloody uprising in Catalonia that summer " It will be on view until Jan Her illness and the cooling of her long romance with Picasso, may be reasons for the figure's bent head â€â€? an old symbol for melancholy â€â€? in many of the pictures Picasso usually put one or more of Fernande's characteristics into the pictures, such as the deep cleft between her nose and upper lip, or the bun that was her favored hairdo The pictures that resulted had less and less resemblance to realistic art though their subject was usually identifiable as a person or object Stein later bought two landscapes Picasso also painted in the village "When we invented cubism we had no intention whatever of inventing cubism," he said many years later of the movement that moved far beyond the tradition of art that tried to reflect the world as it appeared to the human eye Villagers in the northeastern province of Catalonia were shocked by their unmarried state â€â€? this was 1909 More than 40 years later Fernande was in her 70s and almost penniless Picasso Art Shown at National Gallery Sep 29, 1:34 PM EST When Pablo Picasso was 27 he spent the summer in a village in his native Spain, drawing and painting odd angles and curves that looked only a bit like his beautiful French mistress The victim of an abusive husband she was afraid to divorce, Fernande had been living with Picasso since shortly after he settled in Paris Picasso died at 91, in 1973 As an introduction to the show, wall notes explain that mistress Fernande became "less a subject than a motif" and that Picasso sought more an "allegorical representation" than a likeness Three years after that Fernande and Picasso broke up, both having taken new lovers One night demonstrators stoned their room at the inn, and Picasso scared them off with revolver shots Toklas, Stein's long-time secretary-companion Picasso's biographer says the wealthy artist gave her a million "old francs" â€â€? then about $2,400 â€â€? with the understanding that she not publish a second volume of her memoirs, at least while he was alive â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? On the Net: National Gallery of Art: www gov She spent much of the time at the village of Horta de Ebro stretched out and reading novels by Charles Dickens Another of his mistresses later said that he had two successive ways of dealing with a woman: the first was to put her on a pedestal and the second was to use her as a doormat Weiss doesn't see the pictures as an attempt to portray a particular woman, as artists had been doing for centuries 18 That's not the case with some later abstract artists, who often put nothing at all recognizable into their works Trying to create an entirely new kind of painting, Picasso had been experimenting with geometric shapes |
