I read the gospels redfish printed and the movie seems pretty accurate vis a vis the gospels Pretty much, but not entirely. Scenes are added that come from Anne Marie Emmerich's visions. (she also had visions of Jews killing children to make matzah with their blood, but thankfully those visions are not in the movie) It's a matter of emphasis. If you read the Gospels, you see that they don't lay that much emphasis on the actual suffering & death of Jesus; they get through it pretty fast. The emphasis is on the sayings and parables of the ministry period, the trial, and on the resurrection, as being the unique bits of the story. You get the feeling that the mechanics of crucifying someone were depressingly familiar to all. Where as Gibson makes it The Show, with the ministry and the resurrection reduced to sidebars. A question for CB or any others who saw the movie, if the moviegoer was had never before heard of Jesus or Christianity, would they have any idea at all what Jesus was about?
