I read somewhere that Gibson claimed to be ill during the making of the film (maybe he really was) and blamed his illness and other bad luck on "the devil". He claims that someone or something was bound and determined to stop this film being made. As if he were the instrument of truth. It was so bizarre. He sounded just like the guy from "Conspiracy Theory". That role must have been a little too close to home. Gibson just bothers me because he seems like such a fanatic; it seems like he has gone around the bend just a little bit. With the Scorsese movie (Last Temptation of Christ), he was just a director- it was just art. There was no sense for me that he (Scorsese) was trying to preach- it was just a story- a bit controversial but still just a movie and not some big scheme to reveal the "truth". I hope that the Passion fails miserably at the box office but controversy usually helps sell tickets and it will go away eventually.
