My views on the film:

First off, it was extremely well done. Warranto is right, and I agree with him completely. This might just be because I am completely desensitized to violence, but I didn't find the gore out of the ordinary. I found it to be more personal because it was Jesus being torn apart, but aside from that, it really wasn't too different than playing a day's worth of Doom2 or something to that effect. When I was in the theatre, there was a young child there, couldn't have been more than 8 years old. She didn't look traumatized for life.

I do however, find the film to come off as anti-semetic, ONLY for the reason that it looks like the Jewish people are being portrayed as antagonists. Of course this is debatable, but that is just my own opinion of it.

While I don't know the Bible in and out, a few things in the film struck me as out of place: ***spoilers***

Jesus killing the snake in the garden: While I know the snake represented evil, the snake was nonetheless a living creature, so why did Jesus kill?

The seeming infinite amount of blood: Jesus bled so much that IMO he would have either contracted hypothemia from exposure, or simply bled to death. Remember that the guards did beat him after his "chastising". Moreso, even on the walk with the cross; with all the open bleeding wounds, how can his physical body endure so much without failing?

The raven pecking Gebble's (sp) eyes out: While I know that one of the men crucified with Jesus went to Heaven, the other went to hell, I don't remember a raven appearing and torturing him.

The destruction of the Temple and the shattering of the Tabernacle: Again, I don't recall (at least from my Catholic upbringing and exposer) that after Jesus' death, the Temple split OR the Tabernacle shattered. And if this DID happen, wouldn't the Jewish people have reformed?

Just some questions, perhaps someone can enlighten me.
