вЂњThe Romans,вЂќ he said, вЂњdidnвЂ™t intend crucifixion to be swift and quickвЂ¦ they made it as awful as it could beвЂќ to deter behavior and the film is вЂњincredibly violentвЂќ in accurately portraying what вЂњhappened to a person during Roman times.вЂќДЄt the same time, an вЂњamazing love storyвЂќ plays out, said Humbard, which Gibson poignantly portraysвЂ“вЂњthe love of a Son for his Heavenly FatherвЂ¦ the love of the Mother for her Son.вЂќ The Passion, said Humbard, is вЂњthe reason for Easter.вЂќ But, itвЂ™s not all uplifting.

Sunday, that вЂњfaith, hope, love, forgivenessвЂќ will be available to the nearly 70 million households who subscribe to UP-TV, a top-50 ranked network, which airs вЂњupliftingвЂќ entertainmentвЂ“music, series and film, including dozens of original productions, such as Apple Mortgage Cake, airing Easter Sunday. Still, the star said, вЂњI wasnвЂ™t absolutely sure it would happenвЂ¦ And there (were) a lot of hurdlesвЂ¦ more so than IвЂ™ve ever experienced in lifeвЂ¦ And, I knew it would be rough,вЂќ he said, pausing. вЂњWhere I started,вЂќ said Gibson in a video interview posted at UPвЂ™s home page, вЂњwas to make a story that inspired and вЂ¦ would spread the effects of faith, hope, love, forgiveness. ItвЂ™s The Greatest Story Ever ToldВ (1965), as director George Stevens titled his predecessor film in which Jesus, 33, endures the PassionвЂ“the agony in the garden, scourging, crowning with thorns, sentencing to death under Pontius Pilate, carrying his cross to the вЂњplace of the skull,вЂќ where he was nailed to that cross, lifted high, dying an excruciating death, over three hours, in the blazing sun and glaring audience, yelling вЂsave yourself,вЂ™ when he was saving them and all mankind, with a love so great he would have suffered this agony, if only to save one sinner, when a mere pinprick would have sufficed to redeem all. вЂњHe wanted those emotions to really affect people because (that way) your heart is open a little more to what this story is really about.вЂќ вЂњItвЂ™s not just, вЂI knew a friend who knew somebody that did somethingвЂ™вЂ“but, something that happens to youвЂ¦ I think Mel had his own personal strugglesвЂќ that made the film real, said Humbard. вЂњItвЂ™s like someone who writes a great song about something they experienced,вЂќ Humbard says. The reason it was so successful is that it was real, said Charley Humbard, president and CEO, UP. The film earned $612 million, the most ever for an independent film, after spending less than $70 million on production and marketing costs (estimated), financed by the director Mel Gibson and his Icon Productions. ESTвЂ“ten years after it made box-office history.
