The movie has real genius. Cinematography and camera lines were superb, as was the editing. In terms of pure film making, I think it's among the best in recent years. The numerous flashback scenes were mostly gems. I thought the scene of Mary cleaning her Son's blood from the stone courtyard was more powerful than any of the action shots of the scourging or Jesus' flayed body. Gibson assembled a great film, but he did himself in with his adolescent compulsion for gratuitous and graphic violence that negates much of his expressive brilliance. On the other hand, maybe he simply knows what the audience wants.
