You and I are simpatico. I saw it and cried nearly the entire length. My body was tired afterwards, and what the Pope said about it at the time seemed spot on to me. “It is as it was”.

The anti-Mel Gibson stuff during and after, I thought was the result of the attacks. When he went off on a clearly Oriental police officer, asking him if he were Jewish, I saw that as a drunken man making a joke. Of course he wasn’t Jewish, but Mel had been besieged for so long, and pickled in his drink of choice, just make a bad joke. I don’t know how else it fits with the narrative, but I am often wrong.

Passion made $1 Billion.

That made a lot of Jewish Hollywood directors eat crow.
Historically, having Jewish producers make Christian movies is like, bad idea.

Having Christian Mel make a Christian movie, with Mel’s profound vision, is stunning. All the Jews could do is attack him, while he earned a Billion big ones.

You are mistaken, he was Jewish.

I was listening to a radio show years ago on the way home from work one afternoon. Chuck Swindoll, a Dallas area Evangelical minister, was describing in detail the entire scourging and crucifixion based on biblical and historical evidence. This was years before Mel Gibson made his movie. As Swindoll spoke, I was picturing it all in my head. It was horrible ... just as Gibson's movie showed. Very humbling to listen to and to watch on the big screen.
