Yeah, it was a brilliant move by Mel Gibson to purposely make people think the movie was Anti-Semitic and generate controversy, and hence huge profits....right? :groan:
Well of course they're gonna advertise. I'm not saying he purposely set out to make a financial loss, but I hardly think the main motivation for making the movie was money.

Sure, Erik, whatever you say. 
I watched it on Easter Sunday with my dad. He loved it, but I felt that Gibson played up the brutality of the beatings. From Gibson's version of the scourging at the pillar, no one would have walked away, never mind carrying a 9ft wooden cross. Gibson depicted the charactors in an uneven way too, I thought. The charactor of Barabus seems to have been cast and made up with the express purpose of making him the most hateful looking person I've ever seen. Even Bond villans look more human. Other charactors, like Mary (in particular) and Herod, looked far too young, though that's a minor point.
A flawed film, but still a worthy depiction of the Passion. I loved the charactorisation of evil, floating in the background, whichpering to Jesus that he couldn't do it.)

i saw it about a week ago. and really hated it. trully wonderful material for a great movie ruined by gibson. maybe he wanted hsi movie that way, only to show how christ was tortured. in that case its ok, but not my type of films. but if he wanted to tell a story, to make people understand what actually happened he failed horribly. when i was watching jesus hanging on tht cross i though "gee, that must hurt", not "oh my mesiah, thank you for saving my life 
" really, for me at least it was just a stupid movie.
