GIBSON IS NO D.W. GRIFFITH
Reviews of Mel Gibson's Passion have come out. The consensus is it's bloody - very bloody, effectively 2 hours of watching Jesus getting tortured punctuated with leering glances from snaggled-tooth Orc-Jews. There is and pretty much little to no reason for anyone outside the faithful to watch, which is in some way a relief. I'd like to pretend I was interested in the artistic merit of the movie, but quite frankly that's like asking an African-American to appreciate the cinematic genius of Birth of a Nation.
