All right, was it as anti-semetic as we were led to believe. Not really. Facing the fact that Jesus was Jewish, and the story takes place in the land of the Jews, it is to be expected that both good guys and bad guys are jewish, except for those PESKY ROMANS. Those Romans, have always been violent. I mean, we go from Jesus's Death to Tony Soprano, and we learn one thing... Roman's like their pizza good and their deaths bloody. (so what is Mel Gibson trying to say?)
Was it a good movie? Heavens NO! Mr. Gibson has not brought anything new to the art of film making, and the movie itself is a 2 hour lynching, wich, is more like a very violent S&M video. You don't know if you're feeling bad for Jesus, or feeling admiration for the hunky actor playing him. Let's just face it, this is the first Jesus in film history that is right down sexy. Even as he is being mutilated, there is something about Cavizel that just fills the screen with sexual charisma.
But Mel, oh Mel, those slow motion shots added a good hour to the movie. and they were silly. Oh, yes, I know he died for our sins, but I can't believe he would die to have a movie so tackily made about him. don't you think that it would have shown Jesus more love to abstain yourself from the self indulgent slow motion shots? I DARE SAY, after this movie, I want the slow motion shot retired and any director who ever dares to use it ever again, well he should be, well darn it, he should be... crucified.
