...there have been some notable exceptions... but... I have just finished watching The Passion of the Christ. I don't have the words to describe it. Other than to say that Mel Gibson is a genius. I'll leave it to another reviewer... from IMDB who kind of sums it up like this...
Ultimately, The Passion of the Christ is not even a proselytising film. It is a film about the tragedy of mankind: about man's bloodlust, about his inexhaustible cruelty to his fellow man, about his cowardice, conformity and hypocrisy, about the pleasure he takes in the suffering of others, and about his fatal lack of empathy and compassion.
(Some fellow who calls himself a Viking that I'd love to credit properly but he doesn't give his name.)
