WHY???
The (Hilde)beast is trying to pull out all his stops, isn't he?
Fear not, my friend, the beast will fail. Mel is a messenger from the good side, the side of Truth. His "passion" and message is our gain. He's expressed it in Braveheart, The Patriot, We Were Soldiers, Signs (in the end) and now, loudly, in The Passion.
The louder and more clear the message, the more the dark side will shrill.
