What I loved was that there was all these people protesting the movie before they saw it. I saw it in Teaneck, NJ, a town with a very large Jewish population. People were saying, "Oh, it makes us Jews out to be the evil ones!" I said "Did you see the movie?" "Well, no, but we know without seeing it!" It's amazing that these poeple were that stupid, considering that one of them was a rabbi. Yes, some of the high priests were in on the killing, but several were stongly opposed to it. They were promptly ignored. However, the make-up effects were outstandinig, and the camerawork was able to intensify scenes.
Ever notice on some statues of the Christ, there's a sign above his head that reads "INRI"? That means "I'm Nailed Right In".
