it was the most violent film i have ever watched and im a huge fan of violent films. in consist of 10 minutes where Jesus gets beaten, whipped and flayed to an inch of his life where strips of his flesh are torn off his body and this is all before the stations of the cross and the crucifixion. half way through this i mentally turned off the movie. i started whinging that the movie was anti-semitic and saying that mel gibson only put this movie on for his own sadistic pleasure. i expected the violence but it was way to much, the movie should of focused on the teachings of Jesus rather the horrifying violence that gibson increased with theatrical license. i was that convinced it was going way over the top i spent the rest of the movie reading 6 gospels to prove it. then i spent an hour researching on the wikipedia the movie and its accuracy and controversy over its anti semitic interpretations. gibson states its not suppose to be anti-semitic that it just shows the truth of the crucifixion of Jesus but i just cant believe that after watching the film. and even though Jesus's death was brutal and violent i still dont believe gibson can justified the violence in the film, which he claims he put in to shock ppl.
i was sadly disappointed in this film i was expecting it to inspire my faith, which it didnt (even though i did read gospels it was more about proving my point rather then for my faith.
