Hit 'n Strum

While driving down a back alley in Vancouver, contract lawyer Stephanie, distracted by reading some case materials for an imminent meeting, runs over a young seeming vagrant. Seeing that he is alive and mobile and that there are no other witnesses, Stephanie drives off without making sure that he is not injured, but not before they lock eyes with each other. Stephanie later sees the man, he a busker in a small combo in the same neighborhood as her office building. Her initial thoughts in seeing him are to ensure that she assumes no liability for the accident in he suing her, and then to throw money at him in the form of gifts to ease her guilty feeling, those gifts as she can see that he is indeed homeless. She is surprised that the man, Mike, wants nothing from her and seems to harbor no ill will toward her. Mike's attitude and homeless situation is largely to exist on his own terms, and thus not be beholden to anyone, despite his homelessness leading to health problems. Living on the street also means playing music solely for his own pleasure and not as a paid job. What money he has is primarily through the busking and from dumpster diving for bottles and cans. Stephanie is not only surprised by Mike's attitude, but how much she actually does enjoy his music. As such, she continues her assistance for him, she wanting to play a part in him getting back on his feet, especially in helping him with his music in a business sense. Stephanie's actions do not sit well with those closest to her, namely her parents and her fiancé Christopher, who believe she should not trust a homeless person. But a further issue is how much assistance Mike will accept from her, he who truly does have deep seated feeling about the woman who ran over him and who may be hiding the true reason for his homelessness.

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.
