People have criticized Mr. Gibson for the content of movie. Many felt that he should have relayed the teachings of Christ rather than the crucifixion. Some felt the portrayal too graphic and bloody.
Mel Gibson is depicting the crucifixion of Christ not His teachings, and I believe that message may have fallen on deaf ears in the media, and with some people of other religions.
It is important to understand that crucifixions were a normal style of execution in Christ's time, much like the electric chair, although barbaric, is an accepted style of execution in ours.
Of course the crucifixion was graphic and bloody. Did you think it'd be like going to a picnic? The whole point is that Christ died enduring the worst possible inhumanities for His beliefs.
When people are killing people it is not a pretty sight, but it is a fact and I believe that Mel Gibson did a good job in following along with the scripture without pointing fingers (as many, for some ridiculous reason, have thought).
PEOPLE! Stop being so self-absorbed! It is not about YOU! This is a story about Christ and His suffering on the cross for His beliefs and convictions!
THIS MOVIE IS NOT NEARLY AS BLOODY AND GRAPHIC AS THE MOVIE "SAVING PRIVATE RYAN".
I believe that what has set this movie aside from others is the fact that it is depicting Christ. If it were a story about two thieves being crucified, like the two men who accompanied Christ, then there would be no controversy.
