Letting Gibson alone would maximize the chances of our avoiding a whole string of heavy-handed, biblically-inspired historical dramas with contemporary relevance. Undoubtedly the controversy sparked by the release of "The Passion" pumped up ticket sales, with many viewers feeling, not without reason, that Gibson had been persecuted just like Jesus was. Without the aura of martyrdom around the new film, perhaps it will be recognized for what "The Passion" actually was--a kind of film that doesn’t put Gibson’s considerable gifts to their best use. This, all around, seems the best strategy.

"How we going to keep Christians down on their farms, after they've seen Passion?"

The great unwashed goys might even enjoy movies about secular vs. religious Jews, and then....oy vey! (slapping head). They'll have a take-an orthodox-Jew-to-lunch, and pogroms for the rest

Hey, Jews have farmed too (someone had to raise all those firstfruits and sacrificial animals!).

Just let the Torah Sages handle the business of dealing with the various `arei niddachat. And no appeals to "unity" or "diversity"--after all, the worshippers of the Golden Calf were "good Jews" of a more liberal outlook!
