That is the Gibson/"Braveheart" contribution to an agony that was overwhelmingly spiritual in character and perfectly and definitively caught by Johann Sebastian Bach in his aptly named "Passion of Christ According to St. Matthew." There beauty and genius sublimate a passion that Gibson celebrates by raw bloodshed.That's right Bill, no suffering involved. Everyone just sat quietly and attentively listening to music. No blood, no dirt, and none of that nasty sweating.
It is imperative that ugly matters be sublimated.
Whenever they are not, people become either violent, suicidal, or both.
We shall all be able to witness this phenomenon, a few months from now.
