Just saw the above movie on EWTN today at noon. Extraordinary!
A 1957 (Madrid, Spain) motion film production of
The Mysteries of the Rosary called
"The Life of Christ the Redeemer ("La Vida De Cristo: El Redentor")
Part I: The Joyful Mysteries ("[1] Los Misterios Gozosos")
Part II: The Sorrowful Mysteries ("[2] Los Misterios Dolorosos")
Part III: The Glorious Mysteries ("[3] Los Misterios Gloriosos")
These movies are a cinema-graphic (almost unknown) treasure!

Much, very much, more elegant than Mel Gibson's extraordinary work in
"The Passion of the Christ."
Gibson's "Passion" is coarse and violent with the rawness of the beginning of the 21st century:
"The Passion of the Christ."
Gibson's "Passion" is coarse and violent with the rawness of the beginning of the 21st century:
an age of contraception, adultery and abortion, tolerating and condoning every manner of perversion and permissiveness, with the closely related open violation of God, of persons and of nations (terror and fear on all sides), ultimate violence and filth in every man's pocket!
Gibson's is perhaps well-suited to the crudeness of our time, therefore!

This Spanish production is the best of the high class Catholic culture of the 50's. It is refined, serene and crystal clear, with a purity and simple quite boldness unknown to our age.
"The Life of Christ the Redeemer" resembles the refinement and quite confidence of the great Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, not to say perhaps that the Gibson production is more akin to the confusion surrounding the present Pontificate (pace, Papa Francisco), and also, perhaps, is, withal, better suited to our corrupt age (with the accompanying "crisis management" pastoral style too)!

In this "Christ The Redeemer" brilliant production you will witness
Truth, Beauty and Faith, Art and Technology harmoniously cooperating.
A work worthy of Catholic Spain!
