Saw the preview the other night. What is it based upon? Actual events, or some seperate story line (sort of like what Titanic did)? I'm going to do a little more research on the web.

I think that the point most folks are missing on the anti-semitic front is that MANKIND put Christ to death, not just Jews/Romans. He died for the sins of all, therefore I am just a guilty as anyone in that mob shouting "Barabas!" Yet I am forgiven.

I heard Mel has been editing out some of the dialogue in the movie to appease those who claim the movie is anti-semitic.
I hope he doesn't edit it until it winds up being crap.
I don't understand what the Jews are afraid of. If the movie is historically accurate, what is the problem?
That's like someone making a movie about the Civil War and them editing out all the parts about southerners treating slaves badly. It happened! It's history! You can't change it so let's not change it in film.

He edited out the subtitles during the part were Jesus is on trial in front of Ponchus Pilot (sp?). The whole movie is in the local languages of the time with subtitles and is based on the last 12hrs of his life. It is rated "R" for graphic violence (from what I have read and clips I have seen very realistic...like Saving Private Ryan) linky to quotes

So I'm going to have to spend the entire movie reading subtitles? And I was looking forward to it too...
