If ever there was gratuitous violence, that film had it. Nothing gratuitous about it. Extreme maybe but the violence was integral to the plot and serve to make the point the movie was trying to make. By definition that isn't gratuitous. How were repeated scenes of the torture of Jesus integral to the plot? As one viewer, they made no difference to me when it came to the plot line, and therefore, and I repeat, the numerous scenes of torture became gratuitous. Whipping sounds would have been sufficient to convey any sick message the director was going for without having to show more skin falling to the ground. ted
