... the most remarkable thing ever? Not the movie, although it was no doubt fantastic. Its too bad Mel Gibson didn't keep his original idea to have the entire film in ancient Aramaic. I mean the fact that a famous director would love us so much that he'd make an absolute fool of himself in a most humiliating way. Especially when that 'someone' happens to be an all-powerful talented but loopy director who has a history of being abusive towards women and has strange religious ideas but doesn't have to endure even a moment's sorrow? Ordinary people carrying their cross out of compulsion is one thing, but an omnipotent director making a film based on the ergot fueled fantasy of a sexually repressed 19th century Austrian peasant girl is simply mind-boggling, isn't it?
Does the very idea humble you completely, make you want to get down on your knees , do something you normally would never do and then try to stifle the gag reflex?
