I suspect that people who complain that the movie is too violent, are somewhat ignorant of the facts of life.

I spoke to a friend who saw it. Not only "too violent", but scenes of violence and mistreatment absent in the Gospels, like mistreatment on the way to Caiapas by the Jews.

She thought it would reinvigorate flagellant sects!

I saw the film over the weekend. There are so many scenes absent in the Gospel because the Gospels were second to Cathrine Emmerich's lurid fantasies, as source material. I felt the movie was powerful and effective, but the exaggerated scourging scenes coupled with the all too brief flashbacks were both distractions.
