    I haven`t exactly seen the movie yet, but I know the story like the back of my hand, and it`s not anti-semetist. The Jewish people did not kill Christ. WE killed christ. People in general. The reason the movie seems anti-semetist is because the Jews were the people there at the time. Jews WERE the people. You could also say that its perjudiced against Italians because the Romans had a hand in killing Christ also. If the story were to happen anywhere else in the world at any other time to any other group of people, it would be the same story. Jesus came to the world to die for us. Who was there when it happened doesn`t matter, only that it did

    one of the cruelest and most humiliating forms of punishment in the ancient world was, crucifixion. The Jewish historian Josephus best described as "the most wretched of deaths."1 Whereas in Seneca`s Epistle 101 to Lucilius, he argues that suicide is preferable to the cruel fate of being put on the cross. Mel had to show us it was not an easy why out for Jesus to prove he was a real prophet of GOD.

    Jesus died because of POLITICS. Pilate, the Roman Governor of Palestine, and his wife believe in Jesus and tried to set him free, but people listen to the accusations by the Pharisees and wanted Jesus crusified. Pilate, realizing he is confronting a political conflict, defers to King Herod. Herod wants no part of it and returns Jesus to Pilate who asks Jesus what he should do since he will be kill by Cezar if he messes up. Jesus tells him that he is not to blame and Pilate gives Jesus to the Pharisees to do has they please. This is happening now in our days all over the world.

    Who inflicted the most pain on Jesus, not the jews but the Romans. How can you say this film is about Jews killing him. Jesus was Jewish so where is followers and family. Learn your history!

    Its not all blood and violence. There is a story being told. Watch, listen, you would be surprise that many of the words are familliar to ours hears. I have arabic, french, italien, afhani friends that game with me and we all understood some of the words spoken. The story was touching without the "violence" if that`s what you want to call it, we wouldn`t get the true meaning of his sacrifice for mankind. This film is awesome. Go see it guys.

    Where is the Love some say? While dying on the cross in pain, Jesus asks GOD to forgive the ones that that tortured him, falsly accused him of being a fraud, and comdemmed him to death. ISN`T THIS LOVE! The PASSION is the belief for his fate. Jesus had to die in order for non believers to believe.

    What vilolence could this film possibly bring? It`s part of history. Should we hate all Germans because of great war? Should we hate all Japanese because of Pearl Harbour.......? Christ shows us LOVE, FORGIVENESS. This is the true message of this film. We must all love each other. Great film Mel you deserve the ACADAMY.
