Much of Gibson's "Passion" movie falls into the category of "artistic license" that is not directly attributable to any of the gospels. The point is what he as a director decides to show and what he decides to not show. In music, silence can be more important than filling the space with notes. Hitchcock's artistry had that kind of feel to it. Gibson is a hack, not an artist--regardless whether he's making a film about Christ or about Mayans or about a cop with a screw loose.
