My first impression was that it was clearly anti-semitic. The Jewish high priests were sterotypical Jews right out of Nazi propaganda. That was my own obervation at the time, and I posted that here at DU a couple of times. Since seeing the movie, I've listened to discussion on TV and radio (and followed links posted here at DU to some damning criticism.) Result: I am shocked that anyone would make such a shameful movie -- what with the broken promise to remove a particularly offensive line (about His blood being upon the Jews and their children), and all the historical lies, heresy (stuff not in the Bible), and the devil appearing in every other scene was ruinous. You really have to have a 13th century mind to buy that.

Gibson is a loon, and his dad is a typical Jew-hater.

Fair disclosure: I am a non-Jew, non-Christian, movie-going type person.
