Or does it?

from wikipedia.com:
The Passion is the Christian theological term used for the events and suffering – physical, spiritual, and mental – of Jesus in the hours before and including his trial and execution by crucifixion. The etymological origins of the word lie in the Latin passus (stemming from pati, patior- "to suffer [to happen]", in the passive sense), and it first appears in second century Christian texts precisely to describe the travails and suffering of Jesus in this present context.

Similarly, La Passion de Jeanne D'Arc is about her trial and execution.

Of the two films, I like The Passion of the Christ more. That being said, my favorite JC movie is Jesus of Nazareth although I haven't seen The Gospel According to St. Matthew.

Got me there, I just take it as it's more up-to-date meaning.

You know the one without all the killing and stabbing, and flaying, and blood and gore.

Someone really should make the next Friday the 13th 'The Passion of Jason' just for kicks.

I'll say the Passion of Christ, cause I never saw The Last Temptation.
A good political movie The Passion was.
