Your Right of course Gibson can produce what he wants....
Particularly when his work draws so many viewers.

Gibson has been noted in his affinity for great violence... as in Braveheart, Ransom, Payback, Signs, and now he invites us to watch scenes portraying brutally disturbing images so shocking, so pervasively violent and so contiguously portrayed and in a manner never seen on any screen... so as to persuade his viewers to believe in Jesus the Christ.

The movie does raise questions about the interplay of commerce, art and belief. It also raises questions about an ultraconservative Roman Catholic and his motives.

What does it take to get a rating of NC-17.....??????

On a personal note:
I've no interest in Mel Gibsons... or the ultraconservative Roman Catholics interpretation of Jesus' last hours. Nor in saturating my consciousness with images of human suffering.
