"YEAH RIGHT! Abe Foxman hates violence in movies."

Har! The ADL could probably use a new director. But there is a broad consensus that this a very violent, if not the most violent movie ever made.

Really? Where?

By whom?

I've seen dozens of films that were worse, including LOTR II.

As it should have been.

Yeah right!

It is

*Violent
*Antisemitic
*Historically flawed
*Biblically flawed
*Sadomasochistic
*In unknown languages

Abe Foxman & Co. hate a bad movie like that.

There may be such a consensus, however it is misplaced. It Is certainly not the most violent movie... Not even close. The only reason it is seen that way is because of who the victim was. The violence consisted of Jesus getting a terrible beating. Many movies show people getting their brains blown out, their heads hacked off, their guts spilled all over the pavement. This movie had none of this. It was the rage inspired by the innocences of the Christ that caused it to be so horrific.

Over 20 years ago, I saw "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" in the theaters. Passion does not come close in gore and violence.
