Hi John,
It would be great if a passion film was done from a more 
metaphysical and mystical perspective.
I personally found the film `The Last temptation of Christ' to be an 
excellent attempt to put forward an alterative and symbolic 
portrayal of the story.

Tom Harpur basically gives an overview of Alvin Boyd Kuhn's and 
Gerald Massey's work, that show the way the Jesus story is a 
revamping of the Egyptian Myths.

An interesting comparison is at :
