The point here is this film will use modern film technique to make this film very bloody and realisticly so..

You mean exactly like Spielberg did with "Saving Private Ryan"?

Quentin Tarantino techniques to send it over the top.

Pretty disingenous to use Tarantino as a comparative, when Spielberg's "SPR" draws a much more honest parallel. Both Spielberg and Gibson deal with historical situations and don't hesitate using painfully realistic violence to bring the gory truth to light...Tarantino OTOH, makes no qualms about producing anything more than "pulp" films.

Because of your screenname, I imagine your posts narrated by Steve Buscemi. :-)

That film isn't doing any testifying or preaching. Is not about the life and death of a (the?) central figure in Western Civilization.
