Her Atonement

John De Forrest, owner of a fashionable gambling den, seeks out fortune-possessing persons and through the aid of Lil, a beautiful but heartless blonde, lures them to his gambling den, where he rids them of their fortunes. In this manner, De Forrest lures a young millionaire named Jack Bryce, to his den, where Bryce loses all his fortune. Bryce feels his disgrace deeply and leaves for the west. He arrives in a mining town and is befriended by the minister because he saved his life. De Forrest, meanwhile, makes advances to Phillis, Bryce's sweetheart, and they marry. He gives Lil some money and tells her to go away. She arrives at the same town where Bryce is and engages herself as a singer in Gus Ward's gambling den. She becomes stranded and writes to De Forrest for more money. He refuses. She is very angry and informs against him. The police raid his place, but he kills a policeman and escapes. One night Bryce meets Lil in Gus's den and she tells him of De Forrest's schemes. Bryce returns home and finds the minister dead, who wills Bryce his entire fortune, provided he becomes a minister. Phillis, meanwhile, also arrives in the same town where Bryce and Lil are and is engaged in Lil's place. She meets Lil and they quarrel and are separated by Jack. He recognizes Phillis and shows her a notice of De Forrest's death. Seeing that, she marries him. A year later, De Forrest wanders into the same town, and sees Jack and Phillis with their baby. He is greatly angered and goes to Gus's den, where he meets Lil, who is now a charity worker. He wants her to take a note to Phillis demanding money or he will expose her, but she refuses. A quarrel follows in which De Forrest kills himself accidentally. Lil breathes a sigh of relief when she sees that she saved, by her atonement, the lives of two happy people.

The Passion of the Christ

2 hr 7 mins
A depiction of the last twelve hours in the life of Jesus of Nazareth, on the day of his crucifixion in Jerusalem. The story opens in the Garden of Olives where Jesus has gone to pray after the Last Supper. Betrayed by Judas Iscariot, the controversial Jesus - who has performed 'miracles' and has publicly announced that he is 'the Son of God' - is arrested and taken back within the city walls of Jerusalem. There, the leaders of the Pharisees confront him with accusations of blasphemy; subsequently, his trial results with the leaders condemning him to his death. Jesus is brought before Pontius Pilate, the prefect of the Roman province of Judaea, for his sentencing. Pilate listens to the accusations leveled at Jesus by the Pharisees. Realizing that his own decision will cause him to become embroiled in a political conflict, Pilate defers to King Herod in deciding the matter of how to persecute Jesus. However, Herod returns Jesus to Pilate who, in turn, gives the crowd a choice between which prisoner they would rather to see set free - Jesus, or Barabbas. The crowd chooses to have Barabbas set free. Thus, Jesus is handed over to the Roman soldiers and is brutally flagellated. Bloody and unrecognizable, he is brought back before Pilate who, once again, presents him to the thirsty crowd - assuming they will see that Jesus has been punished enough. The crowd, however, is not satisfied. Thus, Pilate washes his hands of the entire dilemma, ordering his men to do as the crowd wishes. Whipped and weakened, Jesus is presented with the cross and is ordered to carry it through the streets of Jerusalem, all the way up to Golgotha. There, more corporal cruelty takes place as Jesus is nailed to the cross-suffering, he hangs there, left to die. Initially, in his dazed suffering, Jesus is alarmed that he has been abandoned by God his father. He then beseeches God. At the moment of his death, nature itself over-turns.
