Mary Magdalene was beautiful as was the Blessed mother.
Mary Magdalene also converted, and became one of the first “nuns”. So why should she be portrayed as ugly....? Just a little confused on your logic to be honest.
I felt the woman who played Mary did a beautiful job despite her age. I hardly think Mary stood there watching that without a few public tears..... she cried as our Lady Of La Salette. Why wouldn’t she cry watching her beloved son be brutalized.....?

She did cry, but in a controlled way -- not hysterically. Like a strong person might cry.
And that's how she cried in "The Passion" if I recall correctly.

She had something in common with Our Lord -- no Original Sin. So they both had perfect mastery and control over their lower natures, including the passions (sadness, anger, etc.)

I agree with others here -- she should have been more beautiful, as she had no Original Sin and would have aged much better (her current age should have been 48 or 49) In fact, she might have even looked 20's or 30's beautiful at 48. Being a stranger to Original Sin and actual sin will "do" that to you.

And having a perfect resignation to Divine Will and a complete love and trust in God should do wonders for your stress/cortisol levels.

Blessed Mother wasn't just A saint, she was THE saint!

On the other hand, Mary Magdalene wouldn't necessarily be ugly, despite her past life. It's true that after 10 years that "mileage" will show -- there are plenty of teens and twentysomething women who have been around the block WAY too many times (a.k.a. a "high body count"), but still look beautiful. It's the simple fact that not enough years have passed.

Were you responding to my post?  I never mentioned "ugly"  neither  did I mention nor imply negatively
that Mother cried or that she cried at all.
As for Magdalene, yes she converted and the beauty of her soul restored, but I was talking about her
bodily appearance and sin often leaves it's marks on the body. This could have been shown in the movie.  They are actresses and her conversion was a good opportunity to show her acting skills.
I believed Mother, totally pure should have been depicted that way as opposed to Magdalene who was neither born immaculate nor stayed that way.  I just objected that the actress who portrayed Magdalene was lovelier than  the actress who portrayed Mother.  It was my opinion of the movie.
If you were confused by my logic I'm totally lost in your response.

They actually tried to make Monica Belucci far more homlier in the movie but with mixed success it seems.

I hear the Passion of the Christ: Resurrection, the sequel, is scheduled for Easter 2020. That should be great.

Honestly, i have my doubts.

While filming the Passion, he was married, living a Catholic life as much as he could, being married to a protestant.

Since then he has gone through how many mistresses and had how many bastard children? (They are mistresses since he is legitimately married Catholic.)  

I feel for him.  The Hollywood culture is a nightmare.  He needs to get out to save his soul.  

One of my favorite parts of the movie was when St. Peter knelt in front of Our Lady and called her Mother ... grieving over having betrayed the Lord.  That probably stuck in the craws of millions of the Prots watching.  It clearly demonstrates how Our Lady might intercede with her Son on behalf of sinners.

I strictly use it so that the children have a visual image of the Sorrowful Mysteries. The movie does a great job of showing the severe beating and disrespect that was given to Our Lord. The Agony in the Garden is the exception, nothing there to see.  

I agree.  The Agony in the Garden was not particularly well done.

What you observed is that Gibson doesn't "add-up" as a Catholic, does he?

Consider this perspective:  
The media PR we were fed, is that he's a trad Catholic.  

(Pssst... and by the way, trads are bad people... drunken adulterers who father bastards).

Another sign is the content of Gibson's film portfolio, which is off-the wall.  

So, at best Gibson is a very down & out trad.  

At worst... he's an imposter,  working covertly for Hollywood Jєωery.
