All Jews in the movie look horrible? What the hell does that mean? This is a story depicting, on film, the last 12 hours of Jesus' life as told in the Bible and some supplementary texts. In the bible and these texts, it is the Jewish counsel who calls for the crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth. Did you expect these Jews to be shown in the movie with huge smiles on their faces carrying balloons and sucking on lollipops? And who can really even say what happened that day? Certainly not any of us. Its a movie based on some books. Thats all.

I'm curious. How many millions of Jews do Christians (or the children of Christians such as Nazis) have to murder before Jews are allowed to publicly express concerns about a movie that revives the old charge of deicide -- that Jews killed god. This charge has been responsible for the Christian murder of tens of thousands of Jews throughout history, particularly after performances of passion plays (upon which this movie is modeled).
How much Jewish blood do you guys want? How many of us have to die before you think it is OK for us to say we've had enough? [/B]

I suppose you and all the organizations who came out against this movie (based on a fucking leaked script BEFORE it even was near the theatres) had grand visions of Christians all over the world taking up arms and indiscriminately killing every Jew whose path they crossed? After talking to people who saw the movie and who didnt have a previous knowledge of the bible, I realized that they wouldnt have even known it was the Jews who called for Jesus' execution in the movie had it not been for the huge media extravaganza detailing the flick before they even saw it. Sorta like, "Oh, you mean those guys with the big hats were the Jews?"
I think you might find this article an interesting read. It was written by a Jewish Rabbi that hosts a radio show.
