Mel Gibson’s film is certainly worthy of being described as the most violent film ever made. It’s extremely powerful.
I don’t understand the controversy behind it, all I can talk about is what I saw. Whatever the historical accuracy of the film, and however it distorts the Bible account of the events or not, I see it as a story about how religion, and authority in general, can be used as a tool for convincing people to do evil.
In the film, the Jews are convinced by their leaders that Jesus is a blasphemer, and that this justifies torturing and killing him. It’s shocking to think that people acting collectively can lose all sense of objective morality. They are so afraid of being scorned by their peers that they fail to challenge the authorities, and instead manage to convince themselves through the most tenuous, ill thought out justification that they are doing the right thing.
Whether or not one believes these events really took place, it’s not hard to think of more recent events with more reliable historical evidence where the same mechanism was at work. The justification for evil does not have to be religious, as in the case of the Crusades. Political ideology can cause just as much suffering, as the examples of WWII and Stalin’s Russia show.
The problem seems to be collectivism as opposed to individualism. It is when people act as a mob that they commit their worst evils. For me, The Passion of the Christ demonstrated this perfectly.
