Based on everything I've seen written about the movie, it's not historically accurate, and probably overdone for dramatic effect. It sounds as if Gibson is picking up where "Braveheart" left off--with a nice, gruesome torture scene to get people's blood up--a pornography of violence, as it were. Other than being, like Wallace, a sympathetic victim, Jesus has very little to do with it.

What exactly have you written about the movie?

It think it's supposed to make you cringe, the Romans would have it no other way, correct?

[twntaipan]

And your assessment is based on what? Those who have actually seen the movie and are well versed in the Gospels say it is quite faithful to the Scriptures. Just whom are you parroting when you offer your opinion?

Just goes to show that you can't believe what you read in the press.

That's the problem the people writing about the movie are predominently leftists out to destroy anything Christian, using any means necessary.

"It sounds as if Gibson is picking up where "Braveheart" left off"

That's one of the most unreal statements I've ever read, with all due respect.

Uuuhhhhhh................No.

Please reply with quotes stating such. I've read everything from Reeltruth to Ain't It Cool News and haven't seen anyone discount the accuracy of the torture methods described in history, and in the Bible, that the Romans had developed.

Huh? You've got it 100% wrong. It is almost impossible for even Hollywood to accurately portray the pain and brutality of a FLOGGING, let alone crucifixion. It is one of the most gastly deaths ever invented.

Two-thirds of all Roman prisoners never made it past the flogging part.

And what exactly, is your definition of historical accuracy? As for me, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are accurate. Historians who put down the Gospels and tout their own more "accurate" histories be damned.

[TheGunny]

You have indeed heard wrong! I you have the time perhaps you (probably an atheist)should do some medical and historical research on what crucifixion was and the propensity and willingness of the Romans to visit violence and torture upon those they ruled over. The cost the Christ paid IS the heart of the matter and means (or should) everything to the true believer! Now, get your paper bag to breath into and please take your pills!

"It sounds as if Gibson is picking up where "Braveheart" left off..."


One would only hope. I so wished that the movie Braveheart had lasted another 30 minutes. I really wanted to see a dramatic portrayal of the Battle of Banockburn and the slaughter of the British by the Scots.
