I'm sure this has probably been beaten to death here already(no pun intended), but I have to throw my .02 in about a few things concerning this flick.
First, if I had to use one word to describe this movie, I would probably go with "gross" first & foremost. I mean, ENOUGH ALREADY with pounding it into the audiences head how bad Christ suffered. The scene where the Roman soldiers scourge him is so drawn-out, and overboard that I almost left. I say "overboard", because I can't see how any human being could get beaten that fucking brutally and still be alive. I think at some point, you would probably slip into shock & die after what-100 lashes with sticks, then another 100 with 2 cat-of-9 tails, where his flesh was litterally ripping off with each lash(gross). He would NEVER have been able to live through that much torture. "Overboard" continues after that, when they make him carry a huge cross through the entire city, and up to Mount Whateverthefuck after that. Again, no way. The scene though, that really chapped my ass, and was to me obsurd, was after they drag Jesus body away, after nearly beating him to death, his Mother comes over, and cleans up his blood for them. What the hell was that all about?! I see you just tortured my Son nearly to death eh? Hey though, let me clean up his blood for you just the same. Rediculous.
As far as the whole controversy dealing with the Jews killing him, I will say this: They did. Those Jews were responsable for killing him. Not all Jews, but definitely those Jews. I mean, when given the choice to condemn either Barabus(a known murderer), or Jesus, Kiafus and the Jewish Council chose to have Jesus killed. I never did get what the big vendetta was that the Jewish Council had against Jesus, that would justify that type of need for retribution, as the movie never really went into it, and I'm no Biblical expert. It was clear though, that they considered Jesus as a huge threat for whatever reason, and were resposible for condemning him. I don't think that Jews should take it as anti-semetic though. I mean, history is history. That is what happened. If anyone should be offended, it is Italians. The soldiers were protrayed as drunken, blood-thirsty, sadistic morons.
On a side note: I thought the character of Lucifer was pretty cool.
I love how he just kind of floats through the crowd as Jesus is carrying his Cross through the streets.
Anyhow, anyone agree with my acessment of the movie?
