Passions Of The Christ

Anyone seen this movie? It is fuking wild!
I finished skool at like 11 and decided to go visit DaGreekGoddess and Eminem for the afternoon. Besides some 'god damn adorable' stunts by Eminem, which had MissItalianCutie finding trouble breathing, we watched Passions of the Christ.

If u havent been on the planet for the past 6 months this is Mel Gibsons directorial work which is meant to vivadly and accurately display the events surrounding Jesus' crucifixion. The odd thing in this film is that it is all done in latin and the extremely violent scenes of Jesus' being punished for being a blasphimer. Thank god for subtitles...hehe

The movie starts with Judas dobbing Jesus into the High Priests and them seizing him. From there on this film basically portrays the insanly brutal torture they put him thru before crucifying him. When u usually watch a film and there is something gory about to happen the camera turns away or focuses on the torturer instead of the victim.....nah nah not this time! Wen they whip him with leather straps with claws on the end, the camera stays on him and u see the lacerations to his body, same to wen they nail him to the cross, u see it go thru. This is what i mean by graphic! It was stomach turning but u could not turn ur eyes away!

It was an excellent film, seeing a few tears from MissItalianCutie which is very rare from a film. Mel has outdone himself this time, truely a hard movie to pull off not to mention controversial.....especially with the Jewish community....
But a piece of work, use of flashbacks, intricate looks at important scenes from his life and the clever ending in the tomb....something i will buy on DVD for sure!

Just a few questions, i know ive prob overlooked soemthing or my knowledge of the Bible is so minimal that the answer to others is quite obvious, but this will bug me till i know.
One) Why was Mary not doin more for her son?? I realise it would have not done any good but seriously, as a mum even if it meant failing u would still try to save ur son.
Two) Jesus was meant to be loved by the Jewish ppl wasnt he? Wasnt he like a man for the ppl? But in the movie it showed the Jewish public being the most cruel to him, beating him up, screaming at him, throwing things....It was the King and his guards who were most humane to him.
