Certainly, I agree with you, Brother Smyth, Mel did not reflect accurately the blood, pain and savageness of how Jesus died. But, the portrayal is so vicious and bloody it serves the purpose for family entertainment and family togetherness.
It warms my heart to think of all our families in Freehold watching this movie during the Easter period, children crying, wives pleading with their husbands to turn it off and husbands taking charge to see that everyone watch and grow in their faith.
It probably helps wives to see the violence by planting in their minds the consequences of not obeying their husbands.
