That's what I thought until I read some of the responses in the Passion threads. The lack of understanding on the part of some, the easy pass they are willing to give Mel Gibson and his film, and the vitriol for those who criticize the film for any reason, have given me pause.
Ours is a critical culture, and the criticism concerning this movie have generally been that the movie is anti-Semitic, that it's too violent, that Gibson is retrograde, that Gobson is an evil man because of his father.
In other words, the usual egalitarian smears from the cultural Left. A valid critique is one thing, but I've yet to hear one. Meanwhile, Gibson's "unreleasable" and immoral film has made nearly 100 million dollars in four days.
