I did not see the movie yet, although I might do if I come across it on TV or my DivX collection ;)
However, I want to ask some of you...
How do you know/judge if the movie is accurate/reliable? Noone knows what happened back then for sure, not even remotely.
All that is speculated is that - there was this Jew called Yeshua, which said to piss off the romans as well as some of the Jewish religious figures, until someone snitched on him and he got caught by the romans and killed by them. Basically a Jewish internal affairs story.
As a matter of fact not even that is knowen for real.
Remember, if events didn't occure as is told (or depicted in the movie) there would be no christian religion really since noone would have been able to say "Jesus died for our sins" if he just died of old age.
However, I do wonder why someone makes a movie about it with any claims of authenticity and accuracy where the actual final goal of the movie is to make money (otherwise he would sell it for $1 to every TV network in the world), and I don't understand, if this movie is so upfront an transparent, why does Gibson avoid personal questions about his beliefs and his fathers' Nazi beliefs and practices.
However, there is no denying, that movie seems to have a big impact on the christian world and even beyond. Im not sure its a positive impact, but impact for sure.
