So the Pion of the Christ is on right now....?

As a Catholic, I felt I ought to watch it. I will say this though, it upset me a great deal. I realise that it was Mr Gibson's graphic portrayal of His torture and subsequent Crucifixion, but I found it to be horrific. OK, so you don't torture someone by calling them bad names or hitting them with a slipper, but this hurt me because it made me realise that these Men were incredibly barbaric (which is how Mr Gibson, no doubt, saw it) It reduced me to tears at the end, and even though it may have been accurate (though we will never really know) it was perhaps something that should have stayed in Mr Gibson's' head and not put on to celluloid.
