What's wrong with making money? There is a great deal of money to be made in Hollywood and there is no shame in doing so.
Ya, a movie in foreign languages with subtitles gaurantees a box office score.
Let's get real. If Gibson had not been interested in making money he would have released his film with little fanfare, and not engaged in a protracted and well-planned PR campaign that went on for over six months. Nor would he have made lucrative merchandizing deals which pad the bottom line.
That is not to say he was not sincerely interested in sharing his vision of The Passion with world, and that he did so due to deeply-held beliefs.
As this movie has garnered such wildly different reactions from a broad spectrum of viewers, it is clearly open to interpretation and it's viewing is clearly a personal experience.
A discussion of the movie ought to be able to undertaken without people slinging mud and making blanket statements which impugn the character of those who agree, or disagree, with the way the story is told.
