That film is an abomination of the Christian religion. It was disgusting. That film was one man's interpretation of a great man's death. Not his life, mind you, but his death. Jesus' message wasn't about torture and his crucifixion. His message was about his life, how he lived his life, and how he wanted people to live their lives. I didn't see any of that in the film.

It's one thing to make a Divinci Code or Last Temptation of Christ -films that are upfront in that they deal with speculation. The Passion was presented as factual truth. Some of it was, some of it wasn't. Mel took a great deal of artistic license and really only presented the very, very END of the story.

JC would not have been happy with that movie.
