No, that is positively incorrect. It is a profoundly biblical and historical interpretation. The only thing that can be said to be uniquely Catholic is the incident with Veronica which is not a problem.

No, it was definately a Catholic interpretation! Any Catholic or former Catholic who sees that movie immediately recognizes that the stations of the cross served as the basis of the script. Those who know their art history will immediately recognize several famous works of art and icon images well known in the Catholic faith.
But it was also BIBLICAL in that it farily accurately portrays the words and actions of the the passion accounts in the gospels.
The historical interpretation was very good, but not perfect. There were some things shown that portray more of the legend and culture of the crucifixion rather than historical facts --but most of these sorts of things are very trivial, or were changed for the right reasons.
