first jesus is played by a white actor
secondly, theres a close up of the nails being driven, and they are driven into the palm, where in actuality the romans drove the nails in the wrist area since the hand wouldnt support the body
if mel gibson wanted to create an accurate description of jesus, why didnt he?
and im guessing in the movie they call him jesus, and not by his real name Yoshua Ben-Yosef

I think he is portraying Jesus in the most important part of all-his love, peace, courage, and wisdom. Not how they drove the nails in or what color he was.
