It reminds of concentration camps, and the heartless sensless human creatures.. it happened in olden days.. and still... the way Mary sees his son.. that is touching and moving... compare that heart of the priest who followed Him till the death..the scourging was sooo cruel. But the blood hurt of other 2 people hanged along with him giving some doubt. Did they treated like jesus or they got any consideration.
Anyhow the punishments were same. That is according to bible. Just to differentate it, even it is tooo much. the poking at the side, casting seems like a welding of a iron rod. The way the blood and water sprayed was soo fast. Cant digest it from a dead body. Over all it is a gift for this holy week.
I am proud to say I have seen the passion of christ. The rating I assigned is best, because cant be less than that when I think of the real pain of christ and the real pain of the masterminds who picturize it. Good luck to the artists and the great workers behind the film.
