Rather than repost, I will just restate.
That the Holocaust was committed by the German state is a proveable fact.
That Jewish leaders played a part in the death of a man called Jesus who was the son of God is a matter of faith, it is not supported by any really credible historical evidence.
I think, the reason some people complain about this movie is that it makes some unintelligent people accept "the Jews murdered Jesus" as a historical fact.
And the problem I have with Hutton Gibson - in relation to this film - is that Mel Gibson has not condemned him. Mel Gibson maybe cant help if his father is a holocaust denier, but he can make it clear that he hates him. If my father denied the reality of the holocaust, made statements like "it is mostly, maybe not all, but mostly a story" I would despise him, I would publically ridicule him and condemn, tell the whole world how I ashamed I was to be related to such a person.
And what is Mel Gibson's response? He loves his father and wont speak against him. I have a problem who wont speak out against someone saying things so offensive when they have the chance to, and I dont care to buy a movie that helps someone like Gibson get rich.
Personally, I wouldnt want to protest against this movie, I just dont want to watch it and support someone like Mel Gibson, who from what I have read about the situation with his father, is a contemptable person to me.
