Well one thing is for certain, Gibson said this movie would open dialouge & have people talking. It sure seems to have done so. All the threads regarding this is movie have had some very heated debate. {group hug} Just an observation but the most subdued posts have been made by those who have seen the movie. Not to say your reviews weren't riveting but rather non-aggressive in any way.
JMHO

I just saw it. Deeply moving. I don't think the violence is overdone - Gibson could have made it more greusome if he'd wanted to. This anti-semite nonesense is idiocy. I won't get into details, not wanting to ruin it for those who've not seen it, but there are plenty of scenes - beginning, middle and end of movie - that make heros of Jews as much as the accurate telling of history might make some of them seem like villians. We are all to blame, and as I was watching, I wasn't getting the message, "Jews did this. Jews did this." Instead, I was thinking, "I did this. We did this."
