...point of the movie is to remind Christians?and proclaim to non-Christians?that Jesus, in his humanity, suffered terribly in order to be offered up as the perfect sacrifice. There is no way to portray this other than in graphic detail. Many of today's Christians want to worship Jesus' Resurrection without contemplating his suffering and death. They want the love Jesus preached without having to forgive others. They want the easy way out. But worship without sacrifice is worthless.

...course, the release of The Passion and the sometimes barbaric worship of Ashura are not the same thing. Onscreen violence is never the same as real-life violence, no matter how graphic. Non-Muslims certainly have a right to ask why some Shiites choose to observe Ashura as they do; violence, even violence done by individuals against themselves, is something people instinctively fear, and such questions are entirely justified...
