It is not generally clear if this controversial movie has a specifically new philosophical message for the viewers. Is it about Christianity, or about religion in general, or about sacrifice and redemption? The author has three things to say in this query. First, the movie represents the characteristically fundamentalist version of Christianity, in which the suffering of crucified God is placed side by side with the suffering of true believers who witness its re-enactment. Second Mel Gibson has crated an 'idolatric' image of Jesus Christ rather than an 'iconic' vision. By such rendering of his topic he has deprived the story of one important aspect. The sacrifice of Christ is not presented as an act of love but rather as an act of endurance and dedication. Thirdly, Jesus is shown as a figure that can transgress all rules of nature and all historical conditions. By making his choices Gibson produced a picture that revives the old tenets of heretical doketism.

In this article I would like to present an iconographic analysis of the Migrant Mother, a photograph by Dorothea Lange, in the context of social change in the United States of the 1930s. For this purpose I use appropriate tools and the theories of Klaus Rieser, Charles Sanders Peirce, and Roland Barthes. I also read and interpret Lange’s photograph from the feminist perspective. In this article the Migrant Mother thus constitutes a fascinating object of academic inquiry, as well as a starting point for the deliberations on the harsh words of Jean Baudrillard who said: “You assume you are photographing a given thing for your own pleasure, but in fact it wants its picture taken and you are only a figure in its staging, secretly moved by the self-advertising perversion of the surrounding world (...) All metaphysics is swept away by this reversal of situation in which the subject is no longer master of the representation, but merely a function of the world's objective irony”. I try to polemicize with the words of Baudrillard, “the high priest of postmodernism” analyzing the Migrant Mother.
