I rented the DVD. I turned it off when Jesus was scourged by the gang of sadistic Roman soldiers. I certainly wouldn't let any of my children look at it and anyone I held to respect. And I never want to ever see it again! It's cinematography was sloppy. BRAVEHEART was much better done from a production value point of view. And this attempt to be truthful to this extinct foreign tongue was ludicrous. But it has a following I'm sure. In 10 more years we'll have another rendering. Gee, I wonder what Orson Wells would have done. He did want to make a Jesus film with himself in the title role. Ray Hughes

And make of you what I will,
Skunk-bear, carcajou, bloodthirsty
Non-survivor.
