I believe my problem lies in many of the recent movies (Last Temptation of Christ) were based on elements that could not be supported by scripture. If we're going to do a Christ movie, then let it be scriptural.

I read on some threads last Mel's movie is also guilty of straying from scripture in some key aspects, especially as it relates to the role of Jews in the events leading upt and including to his crucifixtion. So why the wide support from evangelicals for Mel and the pummelling of Last Temptation?

In Eternal Treblinka, not only are we shown the common roots of Nazi genocide and modern society's enslavement and slaughter of non-human animals in unprecedented detail, but for the first time we are presented with extensive evidence of the profoundly troubling connections between animal exploitation in the United States and Hitler's Final Solution. Dr. Patterson does not let us forget, moreover, that the practices of the quintessentially American institution of the slaughterhouse that served as a model for the slaughter of human beings during the Nazi Holocaust flourish to this day.

Yes, Temptation was Scorcese's exploitation of a false theme. But that was then. This is now.

Christians of all tempers are rushing to see Mel's Passion b/c for the first time we will actually see a film that is authentic particularly after years of being marginalized by a secular culture.

I don't belive Mel strayed signigicantly from Scripture except that he omitted from subtitles words spoken on-screen ---Biblical quotes about Jesus given up to be killed and how that came about.
