I know a lot of people that loved the movie, because it reminded them of how much LOVE Christ must have had in order to go through such pain.
Fuck that. I know people that survived the Holocaust, lost everyone important to them, were tortured past sanity, and had to move to a country with nothing but the rags on their back. They didn't have a whole religion devoted to them, and now people say it didn't even HAPPEN.
Showing Christ being tortured makes Christians feel moved. It makes the rest of us roll our eyes. He's not the only man/woman who has gone through unimaginable pain for love. Honestly, let Mel and all his cronies feel great about themselves. If I want to know how strong a person can be, I'll talk to Vietnam veterans or my relatives who went through the Holocaust. I don't need to see some 2000 year old dude getting the shit beat out of him.
