Literally one of the worst biblical movies I have ever fucking seen.
Mel Gibson is a childish director.
Instead of keeping it a down to earth solid experience, he decided to add in this heavy handed and extremely cheesy symbolism.
>Why yes, this character is bad just look at how his face looks like the devil.
Mel Gibson is a 5 year old intellectually.
The only actual value the movie even has a hope of providing is in the shock factor of the gore, but even that is shit.
You don't feel any sympathy for Jesus. You're constantly cringing at the shitty portrayal of the passion.
You're laughing at the stupid shit like
>lololol this guy just killed himself, now look at this dead goat
Fuck off
well he didn't have much to work with, the story it's based on isn't the greatest.
At least he's not another jew

Jews are better

I was bored as shit during this movie. I was dragged to it by my Christian friends. I kept thinking "will they be pissed if I walk out?"
>>79492453
Do you think Christian's would pick up on anything not spoon fed to them?

>why yes, this character is bad just look at how his face looks like the devil
Do you mean this character? Because that's literally the devil.

It's based on fantasy. What did you expect?
>but it's real!!!
Seen many talking snakes and donkeys lately?
>>79493632
Yes

Do you feel clever with this autistic image macro?

You should have laughed at the crucifixion. That would have shown them.
>>79492453
This is a sick fucking movie
Anyone who liked it must realize that they were watching a man getting tortured for two hours.
I dont care if its Jesus that shit aint okay.
>>79495299
that's the entire point of the crucifixion, are you not aware of the lore of christianity? jesus takes on the sin of humanity and is tortured physically on earth and spiritually after he dies before he resurrects in 3 days. these actions absolves humanity of original sin if you believe in him and his message as the son of god etc etc.
it's not supposed to be pleasant.

It is still guilt torture porn, brainwashing garbage.
>>79495299
Not gonna lie, the torture is the only reason to watch that movie.

it's well-shot and well-acted and is an all-together well formed movie. i'm an atheist and don't believe in the subject matter either but calling simply guilt torture porn is not a nuanced criticism even though it may be somewhat valid.

This movie exists just to give Christians some cheap catharsis on Easter weekend.

It is a modern "passion play" explicitly made to garner sympathy dollers from Christians in the most gore-infested way possible. This movie doesn't deserve a nuanced criticism, it is literally a Christian propaganda film that if it had nothing to do with Jesus (meaning, if you took the religious guilt out of it) it would be a Middle-Eastern torture porn about a religious nut.
The whole thing was a marketing ploy targeting Christians and exploiting them. Fuck off. Not many modern films are actually propaganda...this one is.
