The Passion

In all seriousness, this is one disturbing film. I don't quite get the point of showing a two hour film about the torture murder of one guy and presenting it as something religious.

I can also see the concerns expressed by the Jewish community. The Jewish priests and most of the general populace surrounding the events of Christ's torture are loathesome at best, and downright gleefully sadistic at worst.

Finally, did anyone else think this was more of an extreme BDSM film than anything remotely resembling a religious presentation? It was utterly bereft of spirituality and chock full of whoopings, flayings, humiliation, bondage and everything else that people who love Jesus usually find objectionable rather than inspiring.

Ick. Gag. Puke. I think I'll stay Pagan, thanks.
