THE PASSION

It makes me wonder why he went through all the trouble to preserve the authenticity of the beating scenes and crucifixion. Could it be as simple as he can make a lot more money from releasing a movie about Jesus on an a ash wensday , then getting a portion of the offering plate on any given sunday morning in any chruch? Or could it be that he knew that having shocking images on screen is a guaranteed blockbuster ie: BraveHeart, Leathal Weapon movies. I guess my main point is that in a way I feel Mel is pimping belivers into seeing this movie. I wont say that its right or wrong to go see it, but every time I see a movie I like to have the film makers intentions in mind. Does Mel really wanna educate us about Jesus or just line his already fat pocket?

the answer to that question goes to the title of the movie. this is mel's version of a modern day passion play. and the only purpose of a passion play is for shock value and to insite a lot emotional reactions. in the past...a lot of violence came from these plays...fortunately nothing like that has happend...but i think that may have been mel's intentions. that and to please his father...who who was quoted as saying that the holocaust (sp) never happened.
