A critique of the Mel Gibson movie "The Passion Of The Christ"

"The Passion of the Christ" has sparked controversy since the time period before it was released. Everyone seemed to have a different opinion. Jewish people seemed to think that the movie made them seem evil, much like Nazis were made to look evil in "Schindler's List". Catholics seemed to have no problem with the movie, citing the fact that it is told from the point of view of a Catholic person (Mel Gibson). Gibson says …

…by the gore and violence that it left me wondering exactly what the point was. Did Jesus die for our sins? Since the movie doesn't capture what he died for and only makes the point that he was tortured and killed, I wouldn't be able to tell from watching the movie. On a scale of 1-10, for special effects a definite 10; for accuracy about a 9; for historical acuity an 8.5; for fulfillment, a big goose egg.
