I watched it this afternoon. The disgusting Satan figure, with the worm peeking out his nose, sending the snake to Jesus' feet, in his agony in the garden....Mary, gutting it out as best she could, knowing this was his purpose, he MUST do this, and she had to accept it...the complete sadism of his Roman tormenters, rejoicing in ripping his body into hamburger, Simon of Cyrene first wanting no part of it, then helping, then screaming for them to leave him alone, becoming his brother...all too much. I will have to wait for the DVD release, so I can watch it in solitude, so I can absorb it all. I can't call it a "movie", it's something else.

"...its something else".
A word, if I may offer it to you is 'real'. I couldn't agree more with your post and thanks.
