...to be kind?

Are you serious? A realistic portrayal of Christ's final days is a snuff film? And those that enjoyed it are sadists?

Let me correct you: the level of ignorance on display with such a
comment is a snuff film, and anyone that would post it is a sadist!

I'll point you to a more poignant review...by David Edelstein...

"You're thinking there must be something to The Passion of the Christ besides watching a man tortured to death, right? Actually, no: This is a two-hour-and-six-minute snuff movie—The Jesus Chainsaw Massacre—that
thinks it's an act of faith. For Gibson, Jesus is defined not by his
teachings in life—by his message of mercy, social justice, and
self-abnegation, some of it rooted in the Jewish Torah, much of it
defiantly personal—but by the manner of his execution.

That
doesn't exactly put him outside the mainstream: The idea that Jesus
died for the sins of mankind is one of the central tenets of Christian
faith. But Gibson has chosen those sections of the Gospels (especially
the Gospel of Matthew) that reflect the tension between Jews and
Christians 50 years after the crucifixion, when the new religion's
proselytizers were trying to convert, rather than incite, the Roman
authorities. This is the sort of passion play that makes people mad.

Gibson
uses every weapon in his cinematic arsenal to drive home the agony of
those last dozen hours. While his mother and Mary Magdalene watch,
Jesus is lashed until his entire body is covered in bloody
crisscrossing canals. When he rises, amazing the Roman soldiers with
his stamina, they go for the scourges, which rip and puncture his flesh
in slow motion—all while the Romans and the Jews cackle wildly.
Carrying his cross, he falls again and again in slow motion on his
swollen, battered body while the soundtrack reverberates with heavy,
Dolby-ized thuds. It is almost a relief when the spikes are driven into
his hands and feet—at least it means that his pain is almost over.

What
does this protracted exercise in sadomasochism have to do with
Christian faith? I'm asking; I don't know. Gibson's revenge movies end
with payback—or, in Braveheart, the promise of payback to
come. When Jesus is resurrected, his expression is hard, and, as he
moves toward the entrance to his tomb, the camera lingers on a round
hole in his hand that goes all the way through. Gibson's Jesus reminded
me of the Terminator—he could be the Christianator—heading out into the
world to spread the bloody news. Next stop: the Crusades."-quoted from David Edelstein http://www.slate.com...

If you enjoyed the movie, that's fine, that's your opinion. I didn't and I stated mine with no apologies. By the way, Sadism is the derivation of pleasure as a result of the suffering of others. I only spoke the truth of what the movie depicts, so, now you label me a sadist because I didn't enjoy seeing a man suffering? or portrayed as suffering? I didn't enjoy the movie.
