FWIW: The Passion of the Christ 2, The RESURRECTION, is set to release on 3/21...
Personally, I view this as a MAJOR event. Gibson has ALWAYS been awake.
Timing is everything.
Edit: release on 3/31 not 3/21

The first one was brilliant but pretty heavy for a lot of people.
Gibson did a pretty good job but the truth is he couldn't actually show how horriable it really was. Read Ps. 22, it was written by the One that was nailed to the cross as from His viewpoint. The flesh was ripped from His body revealing his bones, He was so disfigured He did not look human.
I had a small surgery on my back and the wound was so swollen it looked like I had a baseball under the skin---- imagine how swollen He would have been. All because He loves us and does not want anyone to perish---even those that did it to Him!
There's a YT about reconstructing a body from the Turin shroud (which looks like it has a broken nose to me), and as they say, if it wasn't Jesus, it was someone who died the same way. The scourge wounds, estimated to be 600, are marked with red streaks and you can imagine solid blood and missing chunks in real life. Even now lashings and caning are used, and such a large number not given at one time, but spaced out to allow healing--don't know how that is a mercy. What's really sickening is to know that this sort of brutality was common in the past and it took the French Revolution to come up with "humane" execution.
I was twelve when I saw it in theaters, I cried when they showed him being crucified. Absolutely astounding movie.
Agreed, HIS SACRIFICE was “heavy”.!
