Gibson showed his true colors last night during his arrest. I argued with you about THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST and his portrayal of Jews. I stood up for Gibson to you and a number of my Jewish friends. Now, I'm sorry I did.

I went to the film hoping to like it, to be inspired by it, to be suprised and proven wrong. I was not.

The weird thing is that I do not believe folks who loved the movie are anti-semitic. It was very subtle in it's insults. Hitchens wrote the best review.

But at least now you can't say nobody said, "YOU WERE RIGHT, I WAS WRONG!" ;)

I remember one of the subtle critques of the film. It noted that the figure embodying Satan only moved among the Jews in the crowd during the scene where Christ was flogged.

It was a lie. The scene clearly shows Romans among those the figure moves among.
