Where, oh where, in the gospels, when it talks about The Passion, does it mention Satan roaming around the crowd of the jews, looking evil and sinister, or carrying around it's antichrist baby? It just completely took the realism out of a movie that is supposed to be "the most realistic depiction of the Passion ever put on film."
Whatever, I want my 8 bucks back.

That would be my only gripes with The Passion. Other than the first devil ssequence where it is Jesus' last tempation to walk away from it, there really wasn't any need to include all the other Devil scenes.
I just got back from watching this movie, and I've got to say there wasn't any anti-jew, or any other anti-religion. What I came back with is this movie was ANTI-MANKIND. I feel no one has suffered as much as Jesus did in the cruxifiction, but what they did to Jesus is a major wake up to what Man is doing to their fellow man every day.
