So hard to believe that I don't. Seriously though, I'm not a christian or jewish so I can look at the issue without prejudice.
From what I've heard the jews are portrayed as conniving, with hook noses and bad teeth, whereas the desciples, who are also jews, are not.
Also, much of the scenes are not supported by scruptures, but by the visions of two nuns back in the 19th century.
And lastly, in the movie Pilot is coerced by the jewish leadership into crucifying christ against his better judgement. Apparently, no theologians, biblical scholars, or the Pope believe this to be true.
It seems that Mel Gibson has let the ravings of his lunatic father distort his portrayal of the last 12 hours of the life of christ.



You don't believe it and then you say it isn't factual. Why would that matter if you don't believe it?

The way I heard it, the known facts do not support his version of events. However, the known facts don't dispute it either. So where's the beef?

Second, it is a movie. An inspired movie for sure, but it is NOT a documentary, it is an interpretation of the events. Call it poetic license if you will. The movie Apollo 13 was the same way. It represented the events, but not exact word for word. That was a good movie too. Howver, not many religions center around Apollo 13, at least to my knowledge.
