DVD Reviews of South Park - The Passion of the Jew
DVD Review: A "South Park" unholy trinity of religious episodes
Summary: 4 Stars
Trey Parker and Matt Stone taking on Mel Gibson's blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ" is obviously the hook for picking up this trio of religious themed "South Park" episodes, but "The Passion of the Jew" is not the best episode here. There are three plotlines for "The Passion of the Jew" (03/31/2004) and the best is the main one, where Kyle is talked into seeing Gibson's film and is so traumatized he urges everybody at Temple to apologize for what the Jews did to Jesus. Meanwhile, Cartman is enjoying the apparent endorsement of his anti-Semitic views and is bringing together other fans of Gibson and the film in an apparent attempt to revitalize the Nazi party, while Stan and Kenny have also seen the movie and want their money back, even if it means going to see Mel Gibson and get it back from the man himself. There are some good shots taken against some of the reactions to Gibson's film, but reducing Gibson to the level of Chris Kattan's Mr. Peepers lets the target get away as far as I am concerned.
For me the classic episode is 2002's "Red Hot Catholic Love" (07/03/2002), where Father Maxi is apparently the only member of the Catholic clergy on the face of the earth who is not interested in sexually abusing altar boys (e.g., "The Catholic Boat"). Meanwhile, a counselor's question about Father Maxi's relationship with the boys has them totally befuddled until Cartman stumbles on the secret of interorectogestion. The result is a vivid visual metaphor for hypocrisy and a manifestation of the show's toilet talk humor. Fortunately every time I have seen this episode it has not been on a full stomach, but as funny as Cartman winning his bet with Kyle might be, it is nice to see Father Maxi defend being a Catholic priest, a job that was certainly getting nothing but bad press back then.
"Christian Rock Hard" (10/29/2003) involves another bet between Cartman and Kyle. Cartman says he can get a platinum record first recording Christian rock music. Cartman puts a band together with Butters and Token, and just rewrites familiar songs by putting "Jesus" in place of words like "baby" or "darling." Meanwhile, trying to find their sound Kyle, Stan and Kenny are busted by the Feds for illegally downloading music. The boys then learn about the suffering of rock stars because of downloading and Cartman learns never to count your platinum records before they are presented to you at a giant public ceremony. I like the commercial for Cartman's album (which cannot be found in stores).
The great irony of this trio of episodes is that not only do they all have a religious theme, albeit one usually mixed with elements of commercialism, but they are essentially parables. At the end of each episode some one, usually Stan or Kyle, underscore's the message of the story, while music plays that emphasizes we should be paying attention to what is being said because there is a @#&!*#@& lesson here. Actually, three @#&!*#@& lessons. Still, you know Parker and Stone are going to be so surprised when they go to Hell and discover it is nothing like the burning inferno they have depicted on their show.
Description of South Park - The Passion of the Jew
Join the "South Park" gang in SOUTH PARK: THE PASSION OF THE JEW as Kyle finally sees The Passion and is forced to admit that Cartman has been right all along. Meanwhile, many of the hardcore fans of the film unite together to carry out the film?s message under the leadership of Cartman. In the bonus episode "Christian Rock Hard," Cartman, Butters and Token form a Christian rock band and rise to the top of the Christian rock charts with their own messages of faith. The second bonus episode, "Red Hot Catholic Love," centers around a trip to the Vatican and enduring real-life challenges of a video game from 1982.Bestsellers in DVD
