>implying the nails went through his hands
In Roman times the wrist was considered to be part of the hand
If they put nails in the victims actual hands, the nails would slip out during the crucifixion, whereas the wrist has a little slot between the bone which would fit perfectly

It's a love letter to the devotional art of the Renaissance in a lot of ways.

A very obvious example but easily my favorite. The artistic direction of this movie is underrated. It's a movie with both substance AND style, really.

Mel knew this, he did it on purpose because it's a common depiction.

They may have tied his wrists and nailed his hands

>hey, lets restrain these guys we're sentencing to death to the crosses twice because we want to conform to how people will depict crucifixions a thousand years after we're all dead

The romans were all over anatomy and came up with crucifixion because it fucking worked. If people could just be cut down from the crosses and walk off with only minor hand injuries, the punishment would have zero impact.

>n the 1930s, a French physician named Pierre Barbet conducted a number of medical experiments regarding the crucifixion of Christ. One of his observations was that nails driven through the palms of Jesus would not have supported the weight of his body on the cross. Barbet theorized that, instead, the nails were driven into a hollow spot (biologists call it "Destot's space") among the bones in the heel of the hand at the top of the wrist.

>Some commentators challenged that conclusion. They pointed out that Roman execution techniques also included tying the wrists to the crossbar by ropes and that the nails through the palms were meant not to support the weight but simply to increase the pain.

>In the 1990s, research by Dr. Frederick Zugibe of Columbia University came to a different conclusion. He theorized that the nails could have been driven into the palms at an angle, exiting at the wrists. This, he said, would have supported the body's weight and would be consistent with the location where most of the stigmatics had displayed their wounds and with how artists had depicted the Crucifixion throughout the centuries.

The Passion, Apocalytpo and Hacksaw Ridge are all some of the most authentic, gritty, cinematically beautiful movies ever made.

Hey niggers
His feet were also nailed

>>79644785
This. It's practically common knowledge. Mel fucked up. His autistic fanboys ITT on full damage control are absolute cringe.

Your post is 100% retarded, I was just saying that the nails were probably in the wrist, which doesn't go against scripture because in Roman times the wrist was considered to also be the hand
I am happen to be a Christian and have all my faith on Jesus Christ for my salvation, whereas you're probably just being anti-atheist because that the fedora meme

>He theorized that the nails could have been driven into the palms at an angle

>hey guys, lets make this ten times harder to coincide with how people who never actually saw a crucifixion will depict crucifixion a thousand years after we're all dead

Half the reason the roman empire was successful was because they didn't fuck around.

his feet were on a platform so nail in palm or wrist is completely irrelevant

Right?

The Romans killed like 300 people on that day, they didn't give a fuck about some rabble rousing shmuck even if he was the leader.
