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?



I don't believe Mel Gibson's interpretation



Simce you said you are neither Christian or Jewish. You don't believe any Judeo-Christian interpretation if this is true. So now you have one more interpretation to disbelieve.

Since Christ was Jewish, most of his disciples are Jewish, most people in the movie are Jewish, it is plausable that some of those are conniving, as are some Christians, as are some of any faith. The connivers are not merely "Jews" but the leadership Politicians. Politicians, by definition, are connivers (IMHO). So representing some of the inhabitants as connivers is not reflective of a race or religion, simply a fact of political leadership.



I saw a still from the movie which showed the jewish leader with his mouth open, yelling. His teeth were brown and cruddy. Again, I have not seen the movie, but I think from this and other things I have heard is that the jews are portrayed as skummy people as well as evil. If I was jewish I would probably be upset about it.
