Even the scholarly book that post cited didn't claim to be the final answer, but Aramaic as the common language and Latin the language for the Romans seems to be a reasonable choice based on the historical record. [edit: that post also said the area was quadriligual; I wonder what the fourth language was? Nah, let's not go there. :-) ] Gibson's objective was a faithful recreation of Jesus's Passion and Death as told in the Gospels, so for those who believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, they undoubtedly will hold the movie to be the "ultimate authority" on the subject. They probably also believe Gibson's "The Patriot" and "Braveheart" to be historically accurate as well, but what the heck.
